Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Another day, another update! In addition to a mini update hitting our games, we’ve also got ourselves an episode tie-in carry over going on. Yesterday, Manacek hit our games for a limited-time…from Sunday’s new episode of The Simpsons
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 Brick Townhomes and Manacek to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this scotchy duo to your town…
Character: Manacek
Building/Decoration: Brick Townhomes
Donut Cost:150 Donuts
Size: 3×8
Earns: $150, 13xp
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity
If purchased you can pick up more Townhomes for 10 donuts each. Not a bad price if you want a bunch for designs…
Leaves stores March 19th
Pros
-Full premium character
-Comes with a questline
-A couple of amusing outdoor animated tasks
-Building is animated (lights up) when in use (and it will be used beyond questline)
Cons
-Not Voiced
-Expensive for a just introduced, and likely never heard of again, character combo
Final Thought
Premium:
Your standard Building/Character combo these days. It’s hard because it’s a just introduced character, so there’s no real attachment to him (or fond episode memories to look back on). But if you’re one who loves character combos, why not pick this one up? Otherwise pass and save donuts for more memorable characters.
Freemium:
I’d pass on this duo. Save your donuts for better, more memorable, characters down the road. (especially with a new event likely around the corner)
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as a premium player, I’m luke warm on this one. I may end up picking it up before it’s gone from our stores. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
