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 3 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 second of two posts, I’m going to tackle the Stand-Alone portion of the returning content…as in Stand-Alone Characters and trees…because when you’re a pink fluffy tree it’s likely you’ll always stand alone.
Wondering if you should add the Returning Hugs Bunny, Shary Bobbins, Egg Council Guy or Easter Trees 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…
One other note…later today (10am ET) we should be seeing another Easter-ish item (you can probably guess which one if you look in your character collections for this event…). I’ll have a SIB post up for that combo tomorrow (Friday) morning. I want a chance to fully evaluate it before writing it up. You’ll need 150 donuts for that combo, if you want it…
Item: Hugs Bunny
Cost: 100 Donuts
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Stand-alone Premium character. Full set of tasks (amusing ones) that pay at a premium rate.
My Opinion On It Now: I’ve always liked Hugs. His joint task with Homer is still one of my favorites. BUT last year he was only 70 donuts (although in 2015 he was 100…). I like him much more at the lower price, 100 donuts is steep for a Stand-Alone. If you REALLY want him grab him, otherwise pass at that price point.
Item: Shary Bobbins
Cost: 125 Donuts
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Stand-Alone premium character. Full set of tasks, pay at a premium rate.
My Opinion On It Now: I’ve always loved Shary. With the struggles of Easter 2014, I always say to buy her when she comes into the store. But I will say, last year she had a rebate (a small one, but a rebate nonetheless) and she was 110 Donuts. Obviously, 110 is a better price than 125, but it’s not a significant difference. I still say get Shary if you haven’t already.
Item: Egg Council Guy
Cost: 40 Donuts
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: NPC (non-playable character). So he’s animated when tapped (falls over), but that’s about it. Earns 0 income.
My Opinion On It Now: 40 donuts is standard for an NPC. If you like it and didn’t get it previously grab it, otherwise pass. At the end of the day it’s personal enjoyment factor since he provides 0 benefit to Springfield.
Item: Easter Trees (5 trees)
Cost: 1 Donut
What Does It Do: They’re trees for Springfield, they act tree like
My Opinion On It Now: It’s 1 donut. If you like them, spend the donut…it won’t kill you.
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!
