Christmas Rewind Should I Buy: Costington’s and Santa Flanders

Hey Howdy Hey Elf Tapping Tappers!

Another week of Christmas in Springfield has gone by…and another opportunity for you to purchase items from Christmas past has arrived!

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.  You can check out our pros and cons on other items here.

This week EA has brought back Costington’s (with Mr. Costington) & Santa Flanders for a 1 week only sale!   So both Santa Flanders and Costington’s will leave the store next Friday, 12/26.  Also, it’s important to note EA has added some times to other items in that store…to indicate when they’ll be expiring.  EVERY item currently in the store (except Santa Flanders & Mr. Costington) will disappear at some point between now and Phase 2 starting (on 12/24).  So if you’ve had your eye on something now’s your chance to get it…before it’s gone!  Here’s a handy guide to help you know what’s leaving when:
