Your logic seems flawless, but if your game is being as stupid as mine is, they won't give you any of the larger prizes of ANY color. Only good thing I've gotten so far is the winged rabbit. :evil:
Remember, none of the "good" prizes are available until you've opened twenty boxes. So if you're swapping uncommon eggs or spending golden eggs before you've opened twenty of you common-color boxes, you're putting them to waste.
That's only one of the golden box prizes, so I'm going to keep trading common eggs for uncommon eggs, which is 2:1, which can get me 300 instead of 100 golden eggs (3:1), and then opening golden boxes, as only one of those prizes is held back.
I'm now adopting this swap common for uncommon strategy, not least because I want to reach the 12 box threshold for the top prizes of my uncommon colour. Otherwise I think it would be very late in the event for giving myself much of a chance of winning the Blocko Store. So far, though, I've had 3 fences as a result of swapping.
Can anybody clarify this business of the 80 box guarantee? I haven't seen a definitive answer to whether it's 80 of each colour, or 80 across the board.
Edited to add, thanks, mamalettejen!
You are most welcome bonsol17. :-)
For whatever reason, the husband and I have gotten quite a few baskets in the last 24 hours. We're trying to trade eggs of the same color (blue for blue) as much as possible. We're getting eggs without losing any in the trade. Total awesome sauce!

Fantastic! I've no baskets at the moment - seem to have hit a dry spell. My neighbours have been fantastic at filling the ones I've had so far. (Thank you neighboureenos.)
My neighboreenos have been a little lax in that department :? I guess its not important since my strategy mostly depends on dumping my common eggs on other people
Just lost about 12 bunnies by over enthusiastically tapping my carrot crop before clearing the town. No baskets either, and my latest carefully swapped pink eggs gave me 3 fabulous fences. Hoping (hopping?) for better luck tomorrow.
In theory you can simply with baskets drop off your common for uncommon, then have them given back to you.
It doesn't work well due to basket rarity, even though I managed to get a massive 8 today, 5 on my main town 3 blue(uncommon) 2 pink and on my other 2 pink (uncommon) and 1 blue

Oh I'm already on 20 fences, at this rate ill have the 15 donuts by next week.

I suspect there will be a great many of us getting those 15 pink sprinklies very soon 8)

The sad thing is I'm on 20 without donut use, 20 with a day less than those who task rushed.

Not to be sneezed at. (Sneezing on donuts, ugh.) I've now opened seven uncommon boxes, so slowly getting to the threshold for a decent prize. The baskets are key, but I'm not spending donuts on them.

Definitely not to be sneezed at. I've had to many scrumptious goodies ruined in RL by my kids doing just that to even consider it *sigh*
I'm not spending donuts on baskets either. Not worth it. I have 1 or 2 pop up each day and that is enough for me.If it's a basket for my common color I find a neighbor with the same color basket so I don't lose any eggs. If the basket is for my uncommon color, I have my husband put eggs in the basket since his common color is my uncommon color.
I am, however, highly disappointed that I didn't find any pink sprinklies while visiting neighbors today. I only need 1 more to get CCL *double sigh*

Good luck with CCLady. I'm ignoring her quest line in favour of allowing her to earn eggs. She can do the quests next month when this is over.

Isn't her egg payout WAY higher than everyone else's? I think I'll be doing that too once I get that 1 bloody donut.
Saving her quest line for after the event has the added bonus of having something to do if they don't drop a new level during/immediately following the event.

What we need is a wee bunny smoke bomb to get the little blighters out of hiding.
+1 on the bunny smoke bomb.
Itchem-Scratchem, how weird. Did it have the eggs in it as soon as you placed it?
