After what was overwhelmingly agreed to be a big success with the Medieval Mystery Box, today we get the 4th July Mystery Box with the chance to get some previous 4th July items, characters and combos. I'm really looking forward to getting the Republican Party HQ and the Retro Lard Lad but there's a few other items I'm looking forward to getting to complete a collection or two. So what is everyone looking forward to and what did you get?!

Since I got almost everything already, all that's available to me is "Freedom" the falcon, and I wouldn't get an NPC like him for the 40 donuts he cost back in 2014, let alone for 75 now. (Makes the "Guaranteed minimum value of 85 donuts" seem a bit wrong, but of course returning limited-time stuff becomes more expensive...)

I got the national park. I love nature stuff. For 75 donuts this is a really good deal.

I had been saving dnuts. I was hoping to get all the characters w/ohaving to get the few non character prizes, but alas I ended "winning" the Republican hq and Freedom before finally getting the last presidents... Still spending 525 dnuts and getting 5 characters and 7 buildings with either premium payouts or bonusus isnt bad.

I think this is the first time I've had all available content.

The only thing in my box was Freedom the Falcon. Last year when he was available, EA had bundled him with something I already had. So I was unable to get him and was really disappointed - I had also missed him the first time he was offered. I would like to thank EA for not bundling him with something else this year! Now I finally have Freedom! :)Thanks so much EA! :grin:

Splurged and bought all the boxes. The only one I didn't want was Kumiko so naturally I got her first....

I had 100 donuts, and didn't have ANY of these prizes. I would be delighted to have ANY of these prizes, except one. I need another castle on a hill like a another hole in my head.

Guess which one I got?

Now I'm down to 25 donuts and Repube HQ went right into storage, along with the other stupid hill castles. SCREW U, EA. =(

Happy 4th to everyone else though.

yeah, seems like you always get the ones that are the bottom of your wish list first.... had a nice chunk of donuts saved up for this one since I didn't have any of 'em.... picked up Ike and then hit the box... got the HQ first (of course), then Teddy/nat'l park, then Freedom/estate, then Lincoln/cabin... 51 donuts left so we'l see how many donuts I can conjure up before the 4th to try for Nixon and/or George.

The only item in my 4th of July mystery box was the "Springfield National Park"... which I purchased and added to my game.

I've tried three times to purchase Americatown, the only thing in the box, and three times it's gone through the whole 'are you sure you want to spend 75 donuts', I click on yes, I get a screen that says I won it, my donuts are taken, and yet, it's not in my inventory. Is anyone else having this issue?

I ended up buying everything offered in the box. Americantown was the only one that went straight into my inventory when purchasing. Just check your inventory and it should be there.

I had almost nothing in it and had been saving donuts from KEM farming for months. Spent over 500 donuts but got every single thing in the box. I've wanted Lincoln and Washington for years but never had the donuts to buy them. Super happy! Now I have 80 left but I want Eisenhower so have to see if I can scrounge up 70 more in the next week.

I'm in the same boat, farming for Eisenhower after spending almost everything on clearing the 4th of July mystery boxes.

Hi Sue
curiously he is both bundled and unbundled this year. In my main town he was the only thing in my box. In crawl he was bundled with a building.

Edit: I'm confused now, if that's freedom whats the other eagles name with the flag tail?

Squawky is the eagle with the flag. He was free last year.
