Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Time for Heisting in Springfield! New event means all new content, and of course loads of returning content! Lots of items to drop those sprinkles on…
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 Cesar and Ugolin, Francesca and the Italian Villa, Gino and It’s A Wonderful Knife or the First Bank of Springfield 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…
First just a note about Johnny Tightlips and Molloy…they’re not returning items (they’re vault items) and I’ve covered them in multiple places, so I’m not covering them here. You can find Should I Buy Info on them here for Johnny and here for Molloy. They BOTH help with the event and w/ the rebate are a GREAT price. You SHOULD buy them!
Leaves stores May 9th…
Item: Cesar and Ugolin
Cost: 100 Donuts

What Does It Do: 2 Independant Characters for Springfield
My Opinion On It Now: 100 donuts for 2 characters isn’t a bad price (although they were originally free). However, they do not help with the event. So if you like them I’d wait. They’re not leaving the store any time soon…so wait until the event is just about over to grab them. That way you can be sure you have plenty of donuts saved for items that do help with the event.

Item: Francesca Terwilliger and the Italian Villa
Cost: 150 Donuts, 50 Donut Rebate, Net 100 donuts
Earns: $55, 5xp/hr
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Standard premium character/building combo.
My Opinion On It Now: This is another one that does not help with the event. However, she’s at that magic 100 donuts price point I always talk about. Any time you can get a character and building combo for right around 100 donuts you should grab it.

What Does It Do: Typical Premium Character/Building Combo
My Opinion On It Now: Just like Francecsca, this is another one that does not help with the event. However, she’s at that magic 100 donuts price point I always talk about. Any time you can get a character and building combo for right around 100 donuts you should grab it.
Leaves Stores March 30th
Item: First Bank of Springfield
Cost: 60 Donuts
Earns: $150 and 13 XP every 8 hrs
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Joint task for Homer & Marge there
My Opinion On It Now: Eh just a building. If your Springfield doesn’t have a bank you may want to grab it, but otherwise it’s just a building I’d pass. Lots more goodies coming up….
