Just informing you of the risk of using mystery boxes so you can make your informed risk. More often than not the best stuff is the last stuff to come out. I had maybe 8 things to get and fruit man and comic book guy were the last two I got. So if you still buy donuts, my opinion is that these are not worth the risk. I rarely bought mystery boxes when I still needed to purchase donuts. Be careful you do not "buy" something you do not want.

I don’t know about that. Needed Petroleus Rex, and got him on the first try......then again he was the only thing in my mystery box.. :D

I didn't want Dr. Lenny's Lab; but got it anyway.You win some, you lose some.

“Best stuff” is pretty subjective. I’ve usually had fairly decent luck. Mystery boxes seem to be the only way to get a lot of these things so if there’s something in there that you really want I’m not sure what a better option would be other than just going for it.

I opened 6 boxes a couple of Christmas ago just to get the racoon NPC. It was the only prize I wanted and I ended up spending a fortune. My point is ...that was the prize I wanted whereas others would have gladly got that last or not at all. It's purely random and subjective as to what you desire most :)

@jaythecanadian If you have the donuts, you should just get everything offered. Just because they offered items in certain types of boxes last year does not mean they will have the same boxes or the same items offered this year.

It's not just boxes either. There is not even half the amount of content available this year as there was last year during the superhero sale. If you can afford to get the limited-time stuff at a discount (unless you simply dislike it outright) scoop it up. It could be a long time before you see it again.

I only have Senior Ding and one bulding. Well I feel comfortable knowing that I have to send 120 donuts. What I mostly like that ding-dong is 60 from 150. It was worth to wait.

Agree. I'm "donut-rich" enough at this point that I literally buy every unowned limited time premium item they throw my way!

They have 3/4ths of the Fossil Fuel Four in the Box, but the Fracker is not here.
