Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
In the midst of all the Heisting, Jesus has come back to Springfield to remind us that it is, in fact, the Easter Season. That’s right, with Easter 4 days away it’s time to get a little holy (just a little…it is Springfield after all) with several returning Easter-ish themed items in our stores.
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.
There are a total of 7 returning items, either from Easters past or just something to remind you of the resurrection. I’m going to break these up into 2 different returning posts because, well, it’s a lot of content and let’s face it..it’s still lent we all should be punished a little bit…
Anywho, for this first post, I’m going to tackle the God portion of the returning content…as in Easter Island and the son of (and Alien Son of)…
Wondering if you should add the Returning J. Rigellian Christ, Jesus Christ or Easter Island God 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…
All Easter Items Leave Stores April 4th…
All items can be found in the Resurrection of Rigellian Christ Section of the store…
Item: J. Rigellian Christ & the Manger
Cost: 150 Donuts
Previous Post: Should I Buy
Earns: Manger earns $90,10xp/4hrs
What Does It Do: Typical building/character combo. Building earns income, the character earns at a premium rate, the character has tasks at building to animate it.
My Opinion On It Now: So back in December, when this first hit, it was during the Christmas event which I loved! I bought every item that popped into the store, so I got this. However, now in the light of Easter…I do think this is a pass at the 150 donut pricetag. So now, I stand by my freemium player analysis…pass.
Item: Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Swing
Cost: 199 Donuts
Earns: $90, 10xp/4hrs
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Typical building/character combo. Building earns income, the character earns at a premium rate, the character has tasks at building to animate it. Although his animated tasks are awesome.
My Opinion On It Now: I know 199 donuts is steep, but buy it. If you didn’t get it last time, buy it. This is probably one of my favorite combos to hit the game in a really long time. Funny questline, great animations and as an added bonus if you put the Swing in the ocean (on Boardwalk or Pier tiles) like I did, whenever Jesus finishes a task he’ll walk on water… Buy it. (even Cranky says to buy it)
Item: Easter Island God
Cost: 100 Donuts, 50 Donut Rebate, NET 50 Donuts
Earns: 3% bonus on all cash and XP
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Animated when tapped, comes with some dialogue. Otherwise…standard decoration
My Opinion On It Now: At 50 donuts it’s well priced for bonus % and amount of Space in Springfield it takes up (it’s 3×3 in size). If you’re a bouns % collector I’d pick this up. Good buy at 50 Donuts…
