Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Looks like Gil’s back in Springfield. He returned to Springfield late last week, naturally with another ‘deal” for us. What’s the latest gimmick he’s peddling? Well this time around he’s paying us a visit from Christmas Past with Young Marge!
So let’s break down the details of this latest offer and determine if you should spend your donuts to bring this independent girl to Springfield….
So when you first get into Springfield you’ll see Gil waving his arms around…just begging you to tap on him…
If you tap on him you’ll see…
Gil: Tis’ the season of blessings and also regrets, and oh boy does Ol’ Gil have regrets! So many regrets that The Ghost of Christmas Past visits me every year, but this time around he made me a special deal. He’ll stop visiting me, and in exchange I can offer you special deals on blast from the past characters! And boy do I have the gal for you – Young Marge!
At which point you’ll see his latest gimmick…
If you refuse…
Gil: If I could afford it I’d give you a stocking full of coal! But if i had stockings full of coal I’d be burning it for warmth.
If you accept…
Gil: Thanks pal! It’ll be a very merry Christmas for Ol’ Gil.
Now real quick because…if you refuse the offer will go back in the store. It will be there…
This Deal Ends December 19th
And now for the part, you’ve all been waiting for…the Should I Buy…

Size: 5×11
Earns: $135,15xp/4hrs

This Deal Ends December 19th
Pros
-Comes with a questline
-8 and 12hr Outdoor task
-The only premium character that will earn event currency for the remaining acts (2, 3 and 4)
-Will use the Roller Rink, and it’s animated when in use (lights on, shadows in windows)
-Voiced (of course, it’s Marge just younger)
Cons
-Pricey
-The Roller Rink has a fairly large footprint, which can be difficult to fit into tight quarters.
Final Thought
Premium:
Pull the trigger. It’s Young Marge, perfect match for Teenage Homer. She’ll help with the remaining acts of the event and you can’t get more classic than this.
Freemium:
If you’re only going to buy 1 premium character for this event this is the one to buy. She’ll help for all of the remaining acts, and she’s not to much more than the other character combos. (ie Young Barney is 175 donuts) Plus it’s Young Marge, classic!
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as a premium player, I think I’ll be taking this deal. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
Remember, there’s a good chance this may come back in a future Mystery Box. It’s happened a few times now. If you buy it there’s a good chance it’ll come back at a much lower price and you’ll be mad about it, if you don’t buy it and want it there’s always a chance it may not come back. So the gamble is up to you to take…
