Black Friday 2020

If you start with a larger bundle you'll get all the prizes below it and the tokens that come with the bundle.
Example : Buy 900 Ds and get 25 tokens in the bundle and all the prizes in one go.
For clarity - You'd need to buy a bigger bundle to get what is described above. $1.99 for 12 Ds only comes with 1 token and 5 prize tokens, and you can only get them once. Buy a second lot of 12 Ds and it will count up on the prize track but does not include any tokens.

I got the donut factory and costmo's for only $1.99, thanks EA!

Got you. So the purchased donut count is cumulative, not a different count for each step luckily...!

Ugh....... I want the things, but why purchase donuts?
Been a year of stacking donuts, nothing to buy with them really..
But EA thinks sure- they're desperate for new stuff, they'll spend the $100

I ponied up for the 900 donut bundle, not because I needed the donuts (I now have more than I will EVER possibly need or ever have the chance to use), but because it was my teeny, tiny part to support this game that has brought me so much joy since 2012. Lucky to be in a position to be able to do so.

And not for nothing, the Catfish Lake and General Sherman task for Homer has now become my favorite. :)

One of looking at it. Another way would be that a couple of items that previously cost a lot more than $2-3 are now attainable - for those players who have everything else - for the price of the smallest batch of donuts.

In other words, freemium players who’ve patiently amassed donuts through farming, allowing them to clear out the Yearbook, are offered up Costmo and the Donut Factory for a couple of tokens that come with a box of premium donuts.

I can’t afford to get the remaining prizetrack, but to come away from the event with those two items for minimum spend is awesome. Players like @stevieort who keep the game going with their purchases deserve to have game items that are kinda unique and special imo... and by keeping the game going, we freemium players can potentially get them in a year or two for much less ?

I've been trying for 2 days now to purchase the 900 donuts pack to get all the items (don't need the donuts but like the items) and to support the game for the many hours of entertainment I have got from it but something is messed up with the game for me as when I tap the link to purchase I get "You already own this item", hopefully EA support will sort it before the end of the event.

Was psyched to get the donut factory with the first token bundle. I used to play a ton when the game first came out and then fell off for a while, and just came back in Feb. The yearbook and these events are a great chance to play catch up.

@mattperiolat - all these things that cost money or even farmed donuts are optional, you can play and enjoy your game without them.
Yes, some things are really cool, and most of the premium stuff helps you earn in game faster, but the world won't stop spinning if you have no money or no desire to buy the digital baubles on offer.
Playing for free and never spending is fine, but buy what you can if you really want it and can afford it and those few extra sprinkles and tokens for cash help keep paying for the programmers who write the game.

I’m deeply confused. OK, know there are 90 things in the gold box for me to get. So need 90 tokens. Spend 50 to get 60 token with the Black Friday unlocks, then buy as needed if I want to make up the difference.

A lot of stuff in the gold box are also in other Black friday boxes and even in the Yearbook. See here: https://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/266353/2020-mystery-boxes-analyzed
