Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Halloween is back in Springfield! Yes, the water is murky, the screen is slightly darker, monsters and minions are roaming our towns…is there anything better than Halloween in our pocket-sized towns? 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 Count Burns & Coffin, Count Burns’ Castle or the Freakmobile 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…
Leaves stores October 10th
Item: Count Burns and his Coffin
Cost: 120 Donuts
Previous Post: Details
What Does It Do: Skin for Burns, comes with complete set of tasks.
My Opinion On It Now: 120 donuts for a premium skin (not character, skin for Mr. Burns) just isn’t worth the purchase. I’d pass on this one.
Leaves stores October 10th
Item: Count Burns’ Castle
Cost: 70 Donuts
Previous Post: Details
Earns: $200, 20xp/12hrs
What Does It Do: Earns money….Mr. Burns will have a 4hr task there (Have a Drink, Earns $175, 45xp)
My Opinion On It Now: Meh, not a big fan of this one. I’d pass.
Leaves stores October 13th
Item: Freakmobile
Cost: 60 Donuts (the info sheet from EA is telling me this is 60 Donuts, however when it first hit games in 2013 it was 35 donuts. So not sure what the current price is…the increase seems odd)
Previous Post: Should I Buy
Earns: 0.75% Bonus on cash and XP
What Does It Do: Outside of the bonus %, nothing.
My Opinion On It Now: If it is in fact 60 donuts, bonus % is god awful. If it’s 35 donuts bonus % is still pretty bad. I’d take a hard pass on this one.
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!
