Elf Bell Prizes: Breaking Down Little Helper Ralph

Posted on January 7, 2015 by | 44 comments

Hey Howdy Hey My Elfish Tappers!

Well….unless you’ve been partying a little too hard you know that Elves have taken over Springfield!  Elves work hard and party even harder…so much so that even Santa bailed on Springfield!  It’s your job to contain the Elves and send them back to the North Pole.  In doing so you’ll earn Elf Bells..which will give you some awesome prizes!

With this event EA is repeating a similar prize structure to what they did for Halloween, only more prizes, and releasing the event (and prizes) in stages.  For the second phase, which lasts until the event ends (Jan 13th), you can win 8 prizes by collecting Elf Bells.  The Sixth prize awarded at 13,800 Bells is the Little Helper Ralph.

Should I Buy….Christmas Rewind! (Part 3)

Posted on January 5, 2015 by | 59 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The snow in Springfield is falling and friends are calling…oh wait.  Anyway, the snow is Springfield is falling and the store is full of premium items from Christmas past!  It’s like 2 of Ebeneezer’s 3 ghosts are visiting us, as we’ve got premium items of Christmas past & Christmas present in our stores.

As with Christmases past (and other events) EA has decided to make old items new again, and give players who might have missed out on something a second chance to get it.  Of course that second chance doesn’t come with out a price, as many of the returning items are premium.

Last Friday EA brought back Several items from Christmas past…although most are from recent past (like Phase 1)….Zutory, Mr, Plow, Plow King, Plow King’s Plow, Fever Cabin, Homer Fever Snowman & Burns Fever Snowman.  

I know many of you have been asking if these items are worth your Sprinkles.  Well before you hit that confirm button…let’s break down the pros and cons and take a look and see if these items are worth YOUR donuts!
