Should I buy the Vegas Wives?

They are two separate characters so that is pretty nice, and they also both have visual 4 hour tasks. They do not help out with earning event currency outside of the initial 900ish players points, at least so far that I'm aware of.

Has anybody bought the Vegas Wives? Are they worth it?

I don't have any premium characters for this event and I have 169 donuts. I'm also debating getting The Rich Texan, Florence of Arabia, or Plato's Republic Casino, although I'm a few donuts away for the later two. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I bought the Vegas wives, and don't think they are worth it.
They supply no event currency, and short quest line.

I bought them and am glad I did. However, I got them because I wanted the characters, not to get event currency. I really liked the whole story when Homer took Flanders to Las Vegas and they came home married to these two. The event is going to be over in a month and I will still have two characters I like. Nothing you buy specifically for event currency will matter at that point. (I do already have the Rich Texan, though. He is not a bad one to get but not as iconic to me.)

For 115 donuts, they're a steal. BUT Miss Springfield is getting a rebate offer in a couple of days, so I'm gonna get her THEN get the wives with the rebate.

Do that. Wait a few days to see if the Miss Springfield bundle is what we think it is.

That's great. Thanks! Do we know when that's going to be?

I think it's form March 1-March 12

I grabbed them because I have fond memories of them from the show.

I like the rich Texan. He rides a mechanical bull, and can shoot up the town. It's especially gratifying knowing, some of my characters can actually protect my town in case of a terrorist attack. I got the Vegas Wives, because, I also like having a lot of trashy women creating havoc with the men folk. Florence of Arabia comes with a building, so having another strip joint in town, besides the place where Nelson's mom strips, makes for more entertainment, especially, on those long lonely nights, when the women are out playing Bingo with their friends at the church. The men need somewhere that they can go to relieve their tensions.

no harm in waiting to see what else might come up.... as has been pointed out, the vegas wives don't earn event currency (other than the initial players club points), and they'll be available the entire event, so you can wait to see if something you want more comes up in act 2 or 3, and then pick them up if you still have enough donuts....
