I got Barney free but I've gathered he's really expensive. Basically just decide which building you prefer and which character tasks you like. The bowlarama does give a premium 20hr task (pays more than 24hr) to ned and homer. Equally the building isn't that interesting (but iconic) compared to the lair. *Eugh can't spell- bed time

If you got the Plow King skin from the wheel at Christmas you should get Barney, if not get the Volcano Lair.

I'd say get Barney and the bowlarama. Much easier to decorate than the lair I guess:)

Barney he has hasd more appearances that Hank Scorpio

IMOBarney is a better character and the bowling alley is a better building. Barney is voiced whereas Scorpio is not. There's also the fact that the "real" Volcano Lair in the show isn't even in Springfield, while Barney and the bowling alley have been an integral part of the Simpsons universe since the very beginning.The one pro for Scorpio is that I think his visible outdoor tasks are more fun. I have both but Barney is the easy first choice (other than costing more I guess)

Oooh I missed that. Hope the animation comes back next xmas then

Its a skin to the building, like the Simpsons house etc. Hopefully they will bring it back for people, as i had the skin already im not sure whether it was available on the wheel before. Pic below shows it sealed up, but when the volcano opens you can see the rocket and a few presents inside :lol:

Barney.

Only time I've considered that Volcano lair is when someone posted up an image of the self-contained base which was cool. Other than that, it just isn't something I'd have in my town. But then, same goes for all the Million dollar inspirationals, or whatever they're called.

I got Barney free, so I would go for the Volcano Lair (I think it's called)
But on the plus side, if you get Barney and if you got a chance to get the Plow King skin then get Barney.

I don't think Hank Scorpio talks though, which is ashame, unless someone can correct me if I am wrong.
