Oh, ok, I see, well thank you for posting this update. I was asking this question after one of you other posts. I guess I am glad I didn't buy any yesterday. And also very glad they are here to stay. Now I just need to win the tire fire!!

But now I wonder, what about the Homer Buddha's? Are they no longer a part of the game? I guess so, until further notice. Oh well, I like the new mystery boxes and their odds much better. But I wish they had carried over Hans Moleman, if they do in fact discontinue the Homer Buddha's. I have held out on purchasing him, waiting to see if I can win. That and the Springfield Sign. I hope they bring those over, or add a couple new prizes occasionally.

Thinking the boxes were expiring pushed me to buy some extras. Between the Lard Lads, billboards (I need all the multipliers I can get), and free donuts I figure I came out ahead. Best. Oops. Ever.

sorry guys :(brady EA can revert them to old ones if they feel like that's why I put the warning. don't want to get the hopes too high for people.

I hope they start rotating the prizes. My town is starting to get over run with minnow ponds...

The Mystery of the Upgraded Mystery Boxes is solved!

not complaining though as that's worth 330 donuts

I originally thought you wouldn't be able to get it in the weekly mystery box but would still be able to buy it after that date. Can anyone confirm? :?

I'm glad they're here to stay, but I wouldn't have spent so many donuts buying them if I'd known they weren't limited lol!

I foresee a ton of news vans and Lard Lads in my town...

I could use some more I&S billboards, though. :mrgreen:

I've gotten one so far, which was all I wanted and had room for. Too bad you can't sell premiums for donuts :|

I just got a news van on the weekly giveaway - it's my 8th one, still waiting for Lard Lads.

I hope they change prizes, but do not make premiums more difficult to get. I would like to see Homer Buddha in there.

I'm so glad about this!! And we are sure the newer, better odds are here to stay, and haven't sneakily changed?? :s

I too like the idea of rotating the prizes available, especially as I now have Lard Lad at last!! (I've had the Christmas Decoration for it but no base building! Now I just need Arnie Pye to go with my Stonecutter's uniform and finally I'll have them all!!!)

As unlikely as it may be, rotating the prizes could be a way of reintroducing old limited time premiums like the Mapple Store. I feel like if they announced in-game that some of these buildings were available in the boxes for a month or two, it would encourage people to spend more donuts on them just for the opportunity, as so many of them are so popular and rare!!!

I was actually ticked off to get a Lard Lad in the mystery box. Already paid for one, and no way I have room for two. My springfield way too crowded. Sold the second one immediately.
