Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Love is in the air friends! Yes, Valentine’s Day is back in our pocket-sized towns! And this time around things are going to be done, Springfieldian Style! Of course, an all-new event means all new premium content in our stores, just tempting us to drop those pink sprinkles!
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.

-Voiced
-Rides around on a golf cart for one of his tasks, and it’s pretty amusing.
Cons

-Gold ‘N’ Die has a pretty large footprint, could be hard to fit into Springfield
Final Thought
Premium:
Not a bad buy, although I think there are better buys. Honestly, I got this because it reminded me of Patric (although Patric has way more hair than Principal D). When I see him riding around on the golf cart I think “there goes Patric, ready to yell at a cloud!” So if you want a Patric reminder in Springfield pick this one up!
Freemium:
If you’re limited on donuts, I’d pass. Your better buy is CBGB with Nedward and Capri.
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 already picked it up. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
