You can play for free and never pay for donuts2. You can buy donuts (sometimes at full price, and sometimes in small amounts....thus costing more per donut)3. Hack/Steal4. Buy donuts when there is a sale5. Buy donuts when there is a sale with itunes/play cards bought at a reduced/sale price

A lot of people would have got it for free as a Whacking Day prize. If you didn't, then you've got to fork out the donuts to get it. :wink:

Then I won't be getting it.If these pieces were reasonably priced I'd probably spend a lot of money.

That's why they use alternative currency in almost every DLC and freemium game. If you knew that you were spending 5 bucks on "red hair" or 10 bucks on "this" or 20 bucks in this case on a hotel you probably would be far less likely to buy it.things are also cheaper if you buy in bulk.

Commitment is the key, if you didn't make it during WD, like dalton said unfortunately you gotta pay.

Or save donuts for the next year ;-)I got it from WD... but really it's not that cool... Like they say... She's not as pretty as she looks.

Why? EA wants the green. The price is fairly ridiculous, but clearly this is a marker they're comfortable with when it comes to "limited time" event items like the Bowlarama. I like that they reward loyalty, but it does seem like they punish people for getting into the game late with those prices. Sorry man.

Why are premium items so overpriced? Because idiots are willing to pay that much for them. I bought a boatload spent most of them and have no intention on buying more donuts until they reasonably price these things. It's ea though so I'm not holding my breath

Can you buy everything from Whacking Day that you missed? I got everything so I wouldn't know.

I don't always have a data signal, so I didn't get the motel from whacking day. My loss, I really want it. I might buy it for myself eventually. Sure it is a virtual game piece, but I don't have anything to show for the smoothies, energy drinks, over priced coffees, candy bars, and other goofy things we all spend a couple dollars here and a couple dollars there without realizing it adds up.
