paying real $ for Shellbyville items lolwat

admittedly, i wasn't happy when it was releasd but have kinda gotten over it. The one thing that really bugs me about it is the $100 purchase. Thats a lot of cash and have never bought a boat load and probably never will-definitely not for a statue :D
items may be released later for donut purchase and if not-oh well is my view of it now. it'll just be one of the few items i wont be getting
i just hope if they do this in the future that they don't include an item in the boat load category ;)

I didn't like it at first but since I love tapped out so much I decided to buy a few and I'm happy with that. Plus there permanent so there no rush into getting them.

I wouldn't mind if you didn't have to buy everything individually.

I'd be willing to spend $10-15 dollars for everything but at 100 for a statue, 70 for a impound lot, etc... its not feasible. It's downright greedy

You're not spending $100 for just a statue. You're spending $100 to get 2400 donuts and also getting a statue.

These are donut bundles that some people buy. EA is tossing in a "freebie", they aren't being greedy.

It's not a required item to advance in the game. If someone is a completionist then you can't really blame EA for that.

I only bought the characters and the Winnebago

It's no different than other items that cost donuts in my opinion.

Sorry, but I don’t see how one gets to that conclusion. If this strategy proves to be the new norm, we’ll be looking back at this Shelbyville mini-event as a significant turning point in the way EA structures TSTO.

its NOT the new norm. this are permanent gifts for buying the packages instead of just donuts.

It is what it is. I see it as a bonus. I buy donuts and farm some to. If they raised the price then I would be upset. But getting more for the same price, I don't l don't really see a problem. Just my $0.03 worth

You don't think there's at least a chance they'll swap out these prizes at some point? If this tactic is successful, I can't imagine they won't want to try it again.

This is a little annoying, but I've gotten over it as well. They need to make money. I'll probably even drop $25 for the characters, as I was planning to drop them a few dollars in the Scratch-R's every once in a while just as a token of appreciation. May as well buy the donuts instead. If they ever do a character for $50 or $100, though, forget it.

only ea knows but thefact that there's no limit in the data or on screen means it's permanent
