    I had almost nothing in it and had been saving donuts from KEM farming for months. Spent over 500 donuts but got every single thing in the box. I've wanted Lincoln and Washington for years but never had the donuts to buy them. Super happy! Now I have 80 left but I want Eisenhower so have to see if I can scrounge up 70 more in the next week.

    I'm in the same boat, farming for Eisenhower after spending almost everything on clearing the 4th of July mystery boxes.
  • my wishlist:

    retro lard lad >>>>> presidential estate > republican party hq >>>> infinity >>>>> americatown

    I am almost certain that in my first attempt i'll get americatown and sailor kumiko.

    The only thing in my box was Freedom the Falcon.

    Last year when he was available, EA had bundled him with something I already had. So I was unable to get him and was really disappointed - I had also missed him the first time he was offered.

    I would like to thank EA for not bundling him with something else this year! Now I finally have Freedom! :)

    Thanks so much EA! :grin:

    Hi Sue
    curiously he is both bundled and unbundled this year. In my main town he was the only thing in my box. In crawl he was bundled with a building.

    Edit: I'm confused now, if that's freedom whats the other eagles name with the flag tail?

    Squawky is the eagle with the flag. He was free last year.
  • I would have gladly paid full price donuts for the three presidents I wanted, instead I spent donuts and got the three things I did not want. I do not like the mystery boxes! I ended up with americatown, found her skin in my inventory but no americatown. Any one know where to find the ugly building? I'm going to have to take the next 5 days and think about if I want to waste more donuts trying to get the three presidents I want...there are still two more things in my mystery box that I do not want:(. Thanks for letting me vent on this matter

    I completely understand your frustration, but if you have the donuts I would consider still going with the boxes. Each presidents prices is at least 150 donuts, so you are breaking even if you have to buy 2 for each president. You are also getting additional buildings, skins etc that you wouldn't get by buying them separately.

    Squawky is the eagle with the flag. He was free last year.

    that's curious and seems backwards. Why does Squawky have a flag on his tail, seems to me he should be freedom. Freedom just Squawks. :/

    After a little more research, freedom is actually a falcon not an eagle. It really doesn't make sense that they decided to bundle him with the presidential estate, since he really has nothing to do with it.

    I only want the Retro Lard Lad. But....why is it in a box filled with presidents and patriotism? How does it fit?

    Still, getting it for 75 I'm not going to complain.
    Here is my signature. Or maybe it's not.

    It's a bit of retro Americana?

  • I've got all eight items in my box (same as @Muhsterino has shown above) and only 280 doughnuts...

    I have a deep mistrust of mystery boxes and don't really want to spend anything as i'll end up with the three of the four least wanted items, Americatown (I haven't got Kumiko so skin would be useless) Republican Party HQ, Presidential Estate and Retro Lard Lad.... so this could be a pass from me..

    On a side note however, I like the way they 'retro fitted' previous presidents turning up in other 4th July events as being part of the time-travelling toaster, whilst viewing the dialogue during the quest though, I instantly thought of Bill and Ted.... anyone else get the same thought?

    I am pretty sure that Kumiko unlocks with Americatown. Laird Ladd also comes with the retro lard lads which leaves only two buildings that have no taskable character. I also thought it was clever how they incorporated the presidents.

    If it does that's a heck of a deal. A character, a skin, and a building.

    I have bought 5 so far on my newest town, Nixon, presidential estate, Americatown, retro Lard Lad and Washington. 375 donuts for 4 characters, 4 buildings and tree with a multiplier. I got Kumiko and her skin okay when I received Americatown.

    I got her with my first box: Americatown, Kumiko and Sailor Kumiko skin. It all went into my inventory, so I didn't notice the skin at first.

    Thanks for the clarification!...I've got a few days yet, so will have a think about it ;)
