Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Ol’ Gil is back in Springfield! Always a pleasure to see our favorite salesman roaming the streets of Springfield! (hey EA, when the heck are you going to make Gil a playable character?!)
Anyway, Gil is back and, as always, he’s got another “deal” for us. What’s the latest gimmick he’s peddling? Well, this one is a Kwik-E throw back…
So let’s break down the details of this latest offer and determine if this deal is worth the donuts or if you should take a hard pass…
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: Here it comes folks. From the River Yamuna to your livin’ room-a, it’s the Taj Mahal! On sale for a limited time!
Apu: Excuse me, you cannot sell the Taj Mahal. It is a cultural landmark of my homeland and a World Heritage Site.
Gil: Oh, did I say the Taj Mahal? I meant the, uh…Garage Mahal. This particular Mahal is just a place to keep tools and stuff.
Apu: Ah, my apologies. Carry on. *leaves*
Gil: *whispering* Psst…it’s actually the real one. The legit Taj Mahal. No kiddin’.
At which point you’ll see his latest gimmick…
If you refuse…
Gil: Ah, man. It is the domes? Too many domes? Don’t care for cupolas? How about a bell tower? Maybe a minaret?
If you accept…
Gil: Alright, one Taj Mahal comin’ right up. Did you bring a pickup truck to get this baby home? I’d help you load it but my back’s actin’ up again.
Now real quick…if you refuse the offer will go back to the store. It will be there…
This Deal Ends July 14th (when the event ends)

What are your thoughts on The Master and Taj Mahal? Will you be spending the donuts to bring it to your Springfield? Did you already? Why or why not? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
It’s odd that he doesn’t come with the Kuik-E Mart home office, but then again we already got that so…
The Master – I ♥️ his ‘Distributing Chicken Sandwiches’ Visual Character Task (he’s Voiced alright!) 👍🏻
Taj Mahal is big (big like the Land issue in this Game App!) 🤔
Taj Mahal recycles the same sound used on Tuts n’ Tots Elementary School (how L-EA-Z-Y!) 🤣
Please spend the 🍩’s for The Master (“you have 3 questions”) and Taj Mahal!
Encourage EA into offering Gil Gunderson as a playable Character (voiced by Dan Castellaneta!) – make it a ‘Gil Deal’ with his ex-Wife (Shirley Gunderson) and Daughter (Tara Gunderson)! 😊👍🏻

BRILLIANT!
I like the meditate visual because any other characters around the sidewalk look like they’re lined up to ask him a question. First up was Robot Terminator Marge. Looked hilarious.
*sigh guess I need the Kwik-e-mart corporate headquarters now to go with all the other space hog buildings in this update. Sheesh!
Kwik-e-Mart Corporate Headquarters should be available in the Mystery Box (it doesn’t take up that much Real Estate), The Master is a fun New Character.
