Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Christmas is gone but snowy Springfield is still here! We’ve got an all new mini- event to work our easy through. (Politics and Stonecutters, what could go wrong?) Of course, while the town is still frosty cold the store is hot, hot, hot…and loaded with new premium items just tempting us to spend our sprinkles!
As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add the Preppers Compound & Lloyd to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Apocalypse king to your town…

Final Thought
Premium:
This is one of those on the fence combos for me. I’ll likely buy him before the event is over but I’m not in a rush. Can successfully complete event in plenty of time without him. A little pricey and it’s barely seen character. So it’s a meh…see what happens next week before you pick up combo.
Freemium:
I’d pass on this duo. Save your donuts for a couple of better characters, but if you still have donuts come January 15th and really want him then grab him. But for now I’d pass.
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as I premium player, I’m on the fence But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
