Are you surprised?

I am curious if anyone else is surprised that more of the holiday decorations/updates are not up for premium purchase. For myself I am thinking specifically the Halloween update which had some of the best stuff in the game. I am conflicted as to whether this is a good thing or not. Obviously there is a big part of me that would love to have these things right now and if they were premium purchases I would totally buy them. On the other hand by not putting them as premium purchases it gives me something to look forward to for next years's halloween update. Thoughts?


They have so much Treehouse of Horror stuff to choose from. I doubt next Halloweens Update will offer the same stuff.
  • I would hate to think that I could not get the items from Halloween maybe during Halloween they could make the last hallowed. Items premiums for that limited time.

    Probably not. But on the bright side, you will have items that others later will not be able to have. The Circle of Life.

    I never got the Duff Racer. I missed out. And I didn't bother buying the mausoleum. I was racing to get Marge in time to get her witch skin.
    But I've basically gotten every limited thing since then.
  • If this were an MMO, I would agree with you but while I am able to visit other people's villages, in my view this is really more of a single player game with the goal of making my town as cool as I can. The idea that there are pieces out there that I cannot add to my game bugs me a bit (obviously we are both speculating since they may very well add them back in at some later time). Obviously this is one of those situations where is to each their own in regards how in terms of the obtainability of these pieces but it would be a shame, for me, if I could not get Kang flying around in his spaceship reeking havoc on my town and its populace.

    I'd pay 200 donuts at least to get Kang at this point. And to think he was reduced to just 100 donuts. You get TWO buildings, a ray gun and a crashed ufo as well as one of the most unique characters in the whole game. Unfair!


    Yah good point. That stupid thether ball blows. But i still bought it

    I haven't bought one yet. I'm saving up for a cop car. I'll get a tetherbrick eventually, but the car is my first priority. Only 15 donuts to go.
  • The harp glitch was good to me, re: donuts. I've now already gotten all the rest of the current premium items, and I should be set for the next few months at least, as well. Kang is definitely the biggest regret for me, I hadn't started buying donuts back then. I would have also liked the Homer and Bart snowmen (I think the snowmen are cool even when melted), and I had enough donuts for them, but I was conserving my remaining bought donuts as a precious resource at that stage...if I only knew that I'd have them coming out of my ears!
