Ok so Rux has recently returned to the sewers and I was eager to see what new item or ability we would receive. When I went down and spoke to him all that was available was classic items and two scrumptious items. I'm not 100% sure that every time he visits we get a new item but ever since he was introduced, we have. Is this a glitch/bug or are we just not receiving anything new? I attached a picture but it may be hard to see since I already purchased everything on offer. Please get back to me on anything you guys know. Thanks

I was disappointed; despite the recent community vote for the Dark Bean Bomb or Bling Maiden to appear in Rux's shop for this visit neither item was there this morning and most of the people I connect with on the game were reporting the same. Because the date was promised I'm thinking there was a technical glitch involved- I'm hoping that they move it to the next Rux visit because a lot of players will have already checked Rux's inventory and that inventory usually doesn't change after you check it the first time so if that isn't overridden those of us who looked already might miss our chance to buy it.

The vote for the Dark Bean Bomb was slated for the 23rd of March so it will be there then. You choose the Dark Bean Bomb. It will be in Rux's Bazaar on the 23rd of March. #Valenbrainz #RuxVote taken from twitter.

Guys - Popcap said the ability would come out at the end of March. It even said so in writing on the twitter poll. Nonetheless, I'm changing his name to Rux the Heartbreaker. I was sure this visit, because it was not going to have an ability, would offer one of two character stickers since he hasn't done so for about three visits. I was offered a legendary hat for imp (owned) and otherwise not even a classic gesture. I guess I'll go spend the rest of the million I'd saved for Rux on ZZ packs, so I can have sunk another million into them without getting any legendary stickers. What a letdown! If I used emojis, I'd put a few right here.

I take back what I said. First, I do love the discobot hat for imp. But even better, as I started spending all the coins I'd saved on ZZ packs, I got the second pieces for both Toxic Brainz and Iron Citron! I've still got a few hundred thousand, maybe my luck will hold and I'll finish Computer Scientist.

No dark bean for me or any of my friends.

I believe we will get the dark bean bomb when the community achieves the final goal of the community challenge.

30 million vanquished with the bean or the rocket.

Popcap told us explicitly when the dark bean is coming. On March 23, via Rux.

My mistake on the date then- I remembered the "23rd" part but not the correct month.

@pandareno1999 Looks like the pvz gods handed you lemons and you made lemonade. Congrats! Enjoy the dark side of Toxic Brainz.
