"Misery" Box, whats the point?

I haven't gotten brown fences in a long time. All I ever get is $250 or $500, and it's been like this for weeks. I think at one point I got a newspaper dispencer - victory!

Started a feeder town recently, though. First mystery box -> Homer Buddah -> Burning Bush. Come on! My main town could use a price like that... But, I guess I shouldn't be complaing, I got SVT in my third week of playing and there are players who have been playing for a year without getting him.

    I've had SVT and a Lemon Tree. Everything else was either cash or stuff I could easily afford. I haven't had anything truly wonderful (though I do have a soft spot for SVT).

    When I was first playing I thought they were great. As I've advanced, my bar for awesomeness has risen, and Mystery Boxes haven't kept up. It'd be nice if they were changed up a bit - even if the goods weren't more valuable, adding some more options would be appreciated.

    I suggested in another thread that adding some stuff you can only get from the boxes would be cool - Mystery Box specific decorations, for example. At least then they'd be interesting (and therefore valuable for entertainment's sake), if not in-game valuable.

    I also think that you shouldn't be able to get a Mystery Box in a Buddha. I once had a box, within which was a box, within which was a buddha, within which was a box, within which were brown fences. Biggest let-down EVER. You should be able to get a Buddha in a box, but not vice-versa.

    We'll that was disappointing. I went into the game, opened my weekly misery box and only got 10 measly donuts! How depressing. :lol:

    Just got Hans Moleman. Have gotten TWO SVTs. Beats 250 in cash or a tree any day. Got the Bowling Alley when I first started. Keep in mind this is more than one town and I've been playing about a year.

    When I miss a day or two (yes, it HAS happened.. :shock: ), I have never spent a donut to catch back up on the dailys.
