Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Weird little update in Springfield. No new content, but a bunch of returning stuff. Any excuse for EA to stock our stores with returning 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.
Wondering if you should add the returning Character Combos or Character Costumes 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 Returning Items Leave Stores April 24th
Item: Jacques and Fiesta Terrace
Cost: 150 Donuts
Earns: $175, 15xp/8hrs AND 4% Bonus on all cash/xp.
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Standard full character/building combo
My Opinion On It Now: This is a good buy because you get the bonus % PLUS a cash earning building. Anytime you see both of those in 1 building, it’s a good buy. HOWEVER, Jacques is in the Yearbook Mystery box. So if you want him you’re likely better off trying to find him in the box than spend 150 donuts on him now. But if you just want Jacques and don’t want to chance getting other items you don’t want from the Box, then it’s not a bad deal.
Item: Wendell and Zip, Zap and Za
Cost: 150 Donuts
Earns: $135, 15xp/4hrs
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Standard full character/building combo
My Opinion On It Now: It’s Wendell, so that alone is why I said to buy him originally. However, like Jacques, Wendell is available via the Yearbook Mystery Box. So you’re likely better off trying to find him in the box.
Item: Poochie and Ramp
Cost: 150 Donuts
Earns: I believe the ramp now earns an xp bonus…
Previous Post: Details
What Does It Do: Full character and decoration. Poochie will use the ramp for an animated visual task.
My Opinion On It Now: Poochie is not available via the Yearbook Mystery Box. So if you want him this is your only (current) shot at getting him. Originally free, not a bad pickup now.
Item: Lewis and the Mighty Pigs Practice Rink
Cost:150 Donuts
Earns: 4.5% Bonus on all cash and XP
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Standard full character/decoration combo
My Opinion On It Now: Lewis is also not available via the Yearbook Mystery Box. So if you want him this is your only (current) shot at getting him. I still think this is a good, and fun, buy.
Item: Duff Brewery, Duffman, and Lady Duff Costume.
Cost:190 Donuts
Earns: $200 & 20XP every 6hours
Previous Post: Should I Buy Lady Duff Should I Buy Duff Brewery
What Does It Do: Standard full character/building Combo PLUS a Costume for Duffman
My Opinion On It Now: The combo like this is not available in the Yearbook Mystery Box. (yes you can get Duffman and the Brewery and yes you can get Lady Duff, but not as this package) Not a bad buy. Duffman remains one of the, if not the, most favorite character in the game. Anytime you can get him it’s a good buy…Oh Yeah!
Item: Gorgeous Grampa
Cost:75 Donuts
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Premium costume for Grampa
My Opinion On It Now: Available in the Mystery Box. I wouldn’t spend 75 donuts for a costume. If you want it try it via the Box. Otherwise pass.
Item: Toreador Grampa
Cost: 85 Donuts
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Premium costume for Grampa
My Opinion On It Now: Not available via the Mystery Box. However, 85 donuts is way too much to pay for a costume. I’d pass.
Item: Football Nelson
Cost: 85 Donuts
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: Premium costume for Nelson
My Opinion On It Now: Available in the Mystery Box. I wouldn’t spend 85 donuts for a costume. If you want it try it via the Box. Otherwise pass.
