I know, I know it's waaaay too early to be thinking about, but out here in the real world Black Friday has mutated from a day to a weekend, then to a week over recent years. This year (allegedly to kick-start the economy after the corona virus outbreak) a certain online retail giant which shares it's name with a South American rainforest has decided that they're going to run it for the whole month of October, so I'm getting that Friday feeling and I'll kick off with my wishlist for the big day/week/month.My top wish is for an NPC gift box; I'm personally missing a load of NPCs from events way back before I became "donut rich" & which have never been re-released since. The box should contain at least (IMHO) plague rats, zoo visitors and invaders, thoh pests, vampire, werewolf & mummy, homerpaloozer attendees, cop & robber, Park visitors and lumpy the snake. If they feel like chucking in the set of leprechauns as I only have the orange one I shan't complain and also the zombie with the cage on his head as that would complete that set for me too.What do you all want to see? Get your wishes in early to give EA a chance to get it all organised in time.

One thing I wish that EA would do for Black Friday 2020 is to offer some other returning items along with the current selection because both 2019 and 2018 Black Fridays had the exact same returning items in the mystery boxes and it's likely that mystery boxes will be used this year as well.I'm also missing some premium items from 2018, and a lot of premium items in 2019 and 2020 updates. Off the top of my head, the only freemium items I'm missing are Respectable Moe, Mermaid Petting Zoo and Lord Montymort so I hope something returns for me in this year's Black Friday update.

Furious D. I’m missing him in one of my towns and twonicorn looks so lonely.

Oh yeah, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record (remember them?) everything that's ever been offered as a bundle broken up & offered individually and the EA employee responsible for the "bundle concept" fired (preferably out of a large cannon directly into geostationary orbit above Springfield) and then give everyone a free "Springfield observatory" so that Frink can hoyvin & glayvin about the discovery of a new celestial body.

Mayan Homer for my original town and Sideshow Bob for town 2.

Black Friday (month) rears its ugly head again.

Although I suspect that the Halloween event is already made as there things are usually made a few months in advance if I could request stuff in the Black Friday/Halloween sale items then it will be from Moe's Ark and the Itchy and Scratchy events as I completely missed those events due to taking a break from the game.

Good call on that one, I just checked my collections and I'm missing Mrs scratchy and Maggie's butterfly outfit too, so I'll second that proposal.

What I need:

-Male Zombie With Cage on Head
-Elf Lisa and Bart
-Big Whacking Day Snake (don't remember its name)
-Rats
-All 4 Homerpaloozza NPCs
-Both Treehouse of Horror XXVIII Pests
-All 3 Ruffians
-Both Foreign Cops and Robbers
-Butterfly Maggie
-All 3 Park Visitors
-Buff Milhouse

Other than Buff Milhouse, these are all NPCs or skins that came from the era when I didn't have unlimited donuts - except the snake, as I didn't start "TSTO" until after Whacking Day 2013.

Very similar list of missing NPCs to mine you've got there @Oatmeal832, which tells me that there must be a significant amount of players in the same situation. The big whacking day snake you mentioned is "Lumpy the snake" on my list, so there's that in common too.
I haven't made a full list of my missing skins as yet (so long as I've got at least 1 premium skin for each character I tend not to bother switching them about), but in the interest of completionism I also don't have: Elf Lisa & Bart or Butterfly Maggie and I think a couple of Dependables skins plus a Frink & SVT skin from the medieval event (can't remember the name of it, but the 1 with Treestache in.)
