did the same, got screwed the same. Agree with everyone else in that unless EA does something to make up for ripping me off on this event, I'll never spend a penny again.
Got lucky on baskets over the last 36 hours so I got to open 2 pink boxes and 2 blue boxes in that time. I won fences, an egg pile, and gold eggs, which led to more fences
I'm bummed out that I didn't get Father Sean, or Sherry Bobbins, or Johnny fiestas. I even wish I had won more topiaries, I only got one and of course multipliers are always helpful. I'm also irritated that despite grinding the easter event out as much as humanly possible, I didn't get the suck out donut prize either (ended with 41 fences total). (I also didn't win the egg council guy or the lizards, though I'm not as bummed out about those.)
However, I am happy that I'm moving on with Banana Dictatorship, the Blocko Store, and Hugs Bunny. It's been an extremely frustrating few weeks, so at this point I'm just praying that 1) EA does not extend the torture-- I mean, event, and 2) They do not try to do another event like this one ever again.
This has probably been brought up elsewhere, but the 50 fences for 15 donuts thing was annoying. I didn't even get halfway there while playing regularly. That tells me that the only way to win those donuts is to spend money to get more boxes. So it's essentially spending money for donuts, which is what premium users do anyway. I get that EA needs to finance this game, but why not give your customers a 10-15 donut taste a little more often? Even drug dealers are more charitable with their product.
After taking about three hours and thirty-something crashes to visit almost all my friends, I got a tree!! I'm so happy I can almost throw my phone against the wall!
Scraped together 200 more blue eggs to trade in for 100 more pink eggs, which brought me to 500 pink eggs and one last pink box. After a couple moments where it looked like it would land on Blocko store and then the lizards, it settled on yet another beach towel. Ugh! :roll:
Only one hour to go with enough for two blue and...
JOHNNY FIESTAS ON MY LAST TRY!!!
Still have 200 gold, so I was hoping that one of the blue would earn gold...
BUT I GOT ANOTHER STUPID EGG PILE!!!
Got another beach towel with my leftover pinks.
That means I'm down 4 gold box prizes. I was hoping to get a Kodos to go with my Kang, but I ended up getting my second Kang last night on my last gold box gamble. Goodbye Sean, Hugs, Shary, and Kodos. It would have been nice to add you.
Final leftover egg total that will rot in time for Halloween: 264 Pink, 3 Blue, and 200 Gold. If only someone would drop some love in my pink baskets... I have 3 that are almost full.
So as the countdown was ticking away I still didn't have the Blocko store, the only prize I wanted since the start of the event, I didn't even care about the gold egg prizes as I knew they would be unattainable unless donuts were spent. I managed to scrape enough eggs to open two more pink boxes. But no, just some more fences and a beach towel. I thought I'd have a punt by spending a few of my hard saved donuts, 100 donuts later and just some more fences, towels and not even enough gold eggs to open a box. As a regular player since the start I am disgusted by this event, and the fact the game makers have nothing to say on the matter only makes it more insulting. As with others here that's the last penny I'm spending on this game, but hey, what do a few pennies matter to EA anyway? Worst. Event. Ever.
Managed to get everything except for chirpy boy/Bart jr, hugs bunny and of course, shary bobbins. The few people who got her are quite lucky.
I did barely manage to suck out with exactly 50 fences.
Really terrible event, first time I knew from the first day I wasn't going to get everything but yet the hope lingered. Tempted to spend donuts but from everything I've heard I know it's going to end badly, so I won't. The feeling of not accomplishing everything due to bad freaking luck is terrible.
It's no wonder when I go on my phone or iPad to check on a town it's Quahog that gets my attention first now.

Substitute 'Blocko Store' for 'Chirpy & Bart' and your post describes my event experience PERFECTLY, right down to having exactly 50 fences.
I opened a blue and a pink in my last hour, with 48/50 fences, and both of them had fences! Ended with 54 and got my 15 donuts.
I ended up not getting Egg Council Guy and Sherry Bobbins, which I'm actually okay with since I got the suck out prize and I didn't spend any donuts. Win!
Now I hope they have the season 25 yard sale soon, just got a $25 iTunes gift card with my credit card rewards
As I was on 40 donuts I decided to get a golden scratch card which game me another 20 so i got a load of gold eggs (I already have all the blue and pink prizes) of the 9 gold boxes I got the Kodos thing 4 pastel fences 3 lots of 300 eggs (I had an extra 100 so that got me 2 more boxes) 2 blue eggs and with my last box hoping for sharry bobbins or even the bunny I got the classic pastel fence.
