Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Gather ’round the tapping device everyone, it’s update time in TSTO! Of course, a new event gives EA an excuse to stock our stores with returning premium content, 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 Pride Items, Mo’s, Sven Golly, Judge Harm, or J. Edgar Hoover 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 June 3rd
Item: Pride Billboard
Donut Cost: 5 Donuts
Previous Post: Billboard
Earns: .25% Bonus on all cash and XP
What Does It Do?: It’s a billboard, that’s about it.
My Opinion On It Now: Meh. It’s 5 donuts. If you like it get it. Otherwise, pass.
Item: Rainbow Balloons
Donut Cost: 10 Donuts
Previous Post: Balloons
Earns: .25% Bonus on all cash and XP
What Does It Do?: They’re Balloons. They float, anchored to the ground. If you’ve finished the Balloon questline (tapping balloons etc) you’ll unlock various “skins” to change the look of them.
My Opinion on it Now: TERRIBLE bonus % return. Pass.
Item: Rainbow Hydrant Bundle (6 Hydrants/bundle)
Donut Cost: 20 Donuts
Previous Post: Hydrants
Earns: .05% Bonus on all cash and XP each hydrant so .30% bonus for the pack
What Does It Do?: Animated when tapped, water shoots out from the top.
My Opinion: Bonus % is TERRIBLE. Downright AWFUL. However, they are Fire Hydrants. So if you feel like your Springfield needs more hydrants pick up a pack or two, otherwise pass. So basically buy for aesthetics.
Item: Mo’s
Donut Cost: 20 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Facade for Moe’s. Just changes the look for Moe’s.
Opinion on it Now: Pass. 20 donuts don’t really get you anywhere on this one…
Item: Master Hypnotist Tent and Sven Golly
Donut Cost: 120 Donuts
Previous Post: Sven Golly
Earns: $200, 22xp/8hrs
What Does It Do?: Full character and “building” for Springfield.
Opinion on it Now: 120 donuts is cheaper than most character combos in Springfield…and it originally was a cash item. So not a bad pick up.
Item: Juvenile Courthouse and Judge Harm
Donut Cost: 150 Donuts
Previous Post: Judge Harm
Earns: $200, 22xp/8hrs
What Does It Do?: Full character and building for Springfield.
Opinion on it Now: Unchanged really. The standard price, memorable character. Not a bad pickup.
Item: J. Edgar Hoover and Undercover Hoover Costume
Donut Cost: 199 Donuts
Previous Post: J Edgar Hoover
What Does It Do?: Full character and costume for said character.
Opinion on it Now: Wasn’t worth it then, not worth it now. I still don’t own him. 199 is too much to spend for a character and costume.
