Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
The kids of Springfield are mad as hell and they’re not going to take it anymore! Time for a Battle Royale of epic proportions…kids vs adults. The soul of Springfield is on the line! So grab those sprinkles because the store is stocked with returning battle inspired items to fill your Springfield with!
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 Returning Returning Keep Out Sign, Overgrown Ruins Bundle or Aqua World Bundle to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding these throwbacks to your town…
Item: Keep Out Sign
Cost: 15 Donuts
Earns: 0.5% Bonus on Cash and XP
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Just a sign…not a cop
My Opinion On It Now: Still one of my favorite signs, I have several in my Springfield. Makes me giggle every time I see it. Opinion remains unchanged
Leaves Stores February 28th
Item: Overgrown Ruins Bundle
Includes: 7 various shrubs, 6 Brazilwood Tress, 4 Flaming Torches, 2 Ruins, Catacombs & Shallow Grave
Cost: 90 Donuts
Earns: No bonus % on any items, however I believe the Catacombs earn cash and XP
What Does It Do: Decorations, however Bart has a 12hr task at the Catacombs
My Opinion On It Now: Meh, really not worth the donuts
Leave Stores February 28th
Item: Aqua World Bundle
Includes: Aqua World Prison Tower, Guard Tower, Fishing Platform, Fuel Tank and Wharf
Cost: 50 Donuts
Earns: Fuel Tank earns 1% on cash and XP, Fishing Platform 2%, Prison Tower earns .75%
What Does It Do: Mostly just decorations, some animation
My Opinion On It Now: 50 donuts is fair for 3.75% bonus, but it’s a lot of items & you’ll need to find room in your ocean for them.

What are your thoughts on the returning items? Will you be spending donuts to bring any of these throwbacks to your Springfield? Why or why not? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Been waiting for this review as I couldn’t make my mind up whether I wanted the aqua World bundle persuaded me to get it as I thought that it looks good but wasn’t sure if the cost was appropriate for what you get. But I’m happy and had plenty of room in my water still.
Actually, I picked up two aqua world bundles. Seeing as everything in this event can be placed on boardwalk/pier tiles (with the exception of the outlands sign) I’m moving the whole thing into the water. Seemed like a good % investment.
Correct me if I am wrong, but on the EA forums I read the following about the bonus: burning torches are 0.2% each yielding 0.8 total; and aqua world has 1%, 2%, and 1% – total 4%. I purchased the aqua world, its true. 4%. I have no idea about the torches though. Thanks!
I bought the aqua bundle. But it gave me 4%, not 3.75%!
Gives 1% on cash but .75% on xp it’s a weird one
Are there any other items with a lower XP bonus ??
I spent an age trying to figure why the hidden SH bonus paid out short at only 152.05 when calculated, but it might be I’ve got an item or two with a mismatched CoM bonus like that.
I think this was the first and only…it was an odd thing
Have the aqua world bundle from previous event but not the %, buying again would be pointless
The image on my phone made me think the ruins bundle was a new item so I picked it up. Whoops
