Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s nearly Cinco de Mayo! A new holiday in TSTO means EA has a chance to drop a bunch of holiday-themed returning premium items to our stores. 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 any of the returning Cinco de Mayo items 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…

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!
Bumblebee Man – c’mon, how could anyone not spend discounted Sprinkles with a rebate on this voiced Character? 🇲🇽🐝
Perhaps next time I will get Senor Ding Dong / Doorbell Fiesta Character Building combo (not risking it until EA finally removes that glitch!) I have everything else, so that’s up to Noobs to decide what’s worth it (Happy Tapping) 👍
Where do you find Johnny Fiestas? It’s not in the Cinco de Mayo or the Springfield Jobs stores.
I guess I’m the only one who loves the bandit fort. Love that animation. Yes it’s pricey but aesthetically I’d much rather have it in my Springfield than a whole bunch of other stuff. Passed on Mexican duffman and zutroy. Bought bumblebee man a few weeks ago at full price. 🙁
So happy to get Senior Ding Dong. I couldnt get him last time because I spent all donuts clearing out the superheroes mystery boxes.
Missed him and I think the Camp Counselor.
Have them both now.
I enjoy them both. You do as well.
Interesting both Kodos AND Kang are involved in the ‘send all ladies’ Ding Dong tasks…
Zutroy!!! Bought him without even looking at the price 😀
Oh, man, after waiting four years four a deal on Bumblebee Man, I was getting fed up. Tuesday night I opened up the store and had my finger hovering over the 60 donut button. I’m so glad I held off.
Not sure why I skipped Senor Ding Dong when he was first available…but he is now in my town ringing the ladie’s chimes. Hilarious…except for the old, tired, jumper cable joke in his dialogue.
I must have skipped him too, lack of donuts probably
Bee careful! I bought the Bumblebee man AND i did not get the 50 donuts back! I am talking to the EA-Service right now!
I don’t know why I didn’t buy Señor Ding Dong when he first came out (must not have had the donuts?).. but I have him now! Also picked up Mexican Duffman. I forgot Bumblebee man was premium, it’s been so many years since I got him.
I’m still upset no one has explained to me what the flag does
Are you serious? It’s a flag. It sits there much like a flag in your backyard. ie it does nothing
No Alissa, i am most definitely not serious =)
lol – irony doesn’t always translate well to the written word, without facial expressions and tone of voice to go with it…
Yeah, thats true
According to what I am seeing on my game the flag does come with a 0.25% bonus, I believe like all the other flags
“A flag is a piece of fabric (most often rectangular or quadrilateral) with a distinctive design and colors. It is used as a symbol, a signaling device, or for decoration.”
-Wikipedia, the most accurate source on the internet.
thank you =)
Bumblebee Man was the quickest I have pulled the trigger on a purchase
It had me at 10 donuts.
Bought Ding Dong. Didn’t have enough donuts for anything else, but I would love Mexican Duffman. Already had BBM.
