4th July Mystery Box

Replies

  • I only had two things left in my box: Americatown/Sailor Kumiko and Republican Party HQ. I got the first option.
  • Sometimes the Multiverse shines, so I post this to say Thanks!
    Was really on the fence about doing Mystery box this time. Only one thing I really wanted, National Park, rolled the dice, went for it, and incredibly got it on my first shot (Teddy R. reference).
    Just flabbergasted. Giant Thanks to All of You KEM farm educators here at the forum that made it possible.
    PS: sorry for gushing on and being so long winded

  • Thank you so much
    Very kind of you!
  • Only items offered to me are Retro, Watergate, and Freedom. (Obviously have the rest)

    That stupid bird is not worth 75 donuts. I guess I dont already have him because he was bundled last year with the presidential estate, which I had purchased the year before. But come on, I'd take the gamble for a building but im not going to potentially waste 75 donuts for a different version of what they gave us free last year.

    Also why so much hate for Americatown? That was an instant purchase for me. Classic episode.
  • I bought 3 trying before getting Roosevelt, as a hunter I really wanted him. Got Nixon and Lincoln in the process.

    I don't have any of the items in the 4th MB. I want to the presidents and RHQ and couldn't care less about the other stuff.

    I don't get it either. Americatown w/ Kumiko & the Sailor Kumiko skin is a great deal this time around.
    During the Destination Springfield event: 175 donuts
    4th of July Mystery Box: 75 donuts

    That's a big discount. I will say though, Americatown is a really ugly building.

    The July stuff is crap. Could care less about it.

    Don't increase the Item Limit? Then I don't play. Period.
  • :D

    You crack me up.

    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.

    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. :/

    I've thought the same thing since I got them last year. Really bugs me too now that you mention it.
    I do not accept unsolicited friend requests! PM me and say hi first.

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

    I thought so. Why does everyone seem to hate Kumiko? Building, character and skin (meaning two quest lines) for 75? Sold.
  • The only thing I wanted was the Retro lard lad. I got it on the first try! I don't know if it made a difference but I went in and out of the mystery box until lard lad was first in the list. Then I pulled the trigger.
  • G'day all!

    I just wanna speak from my experience regarding the 'randomness'.

    From my experience, it does not seem random at all, but rather pre-determined!

    Since I play the same town with 2 devices, I tried buying a Box to see what I got. Then I'd access my town with the 2nd device (which will negate the Box I just bought), & try buying the Box again. I tried this method about 10 times on the Medieval MB & about 5 times on this 4th of July one. I consistently got the SAME item for both, Castle of Equalia (Medieval MB) & Retro Lard Lad (4th of July MB).

    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.

    It's a bit of retro Americana?
    True.

    That's an interesting variant. I guess the same can be done with one device.
