    Where would one find said box? I have not received it :(
    1. Have you installed the most recent update from your respective store?
    2. Is Mr. Burns on a task? (He triggers.)

    Bought 17 boxes. Got lard lad, blue haired lawyer, Kearny, 3 news vans, itchy and scratchy sign, 100 donuts and a bunch of crap.

    Already had squeaky voiced teen, and tire fire.

    So got everything and it only cost me 2 donuts.

    I done now, I'll take the freebies every 5 days and hope for some donuts.

    Aside from a few bits of rubbish, in approx 10 boxes I got:

    Blue Haired Lawyer
    2 Billboards
    Lard Lad Donuts
    Kerney

    Already have SVT, the tire fire and a news van so I'm stoked with that! Almost 300 donuts worth for approx 60 donuts!

    I got the Itchy and Scratchy billboard in my free box. After reading the comments here, I then decided to buy one to see if I would get anything good. The first one I bought, I got 10 donuts. Figuring the box had paid for itself, I bought a second box where I got a minnow pond. I decided to try one last box and got the Blue Haired Lawyer. So as I figured it, I spent about 8 donuts to get Blue Haired Lawyer and that's a pretty good deal!

    free box- minnow pond

    Then I remembered I had about a dozen Mystery boxes in my inventory that I never opened:

    2nd box- 30 donuts
    3rd box- blue haired lawyer
    4th box- minnow pond again
    5th box- 30 donuts again
    6th box- Lard Lad donuts
    7th box-bomb shelter
    8th box- Itchy and Scratchy billboard
    9th box-khlav kalash stand
    10th box- Chalmer's ONDA
    11th box-Channel 6 News van
    12th box- minnow pond

    Overall, that's 6 premium items outta 12, so 50% success rate. Thank you, EA!

    That is awesome!! My real life friend, who is also a freemium player, he also had just been storing all of his mystery boxes that he won and not opening them. He has 11 in storage, and was also so very stoked to find out they do convert over to the new Mystery Boxes!! What a great stoke of luck to save them!! Congrats!! He only opened two boxes so far, the free one (I & S Billboard) and a 2nd (News Van), and is waiting for the weekend to have some more fun opening the rest. But he doesn't have most of the premium prizes, so he is about to truly make out like a bandit I suspect.

    I haven't logged in this morning yet. Before I do I want to decide if I want to buy more mystery boxes :lol:

    I'm tempted on trying for one more to see if I can get LLD. :P

    Haha well I am very happy with what I have received so far.
    Arg I wonder how many donuts have been spent since this mystery box update?

    I got the news van in my free box, which I was very pleased about because I was thinking of buying it anyway. I've already got the tyre fire, Lard Lad, pond, Chalmers' car, several Klav Klavash stands and the bomb shelter and I don't really want any more of any of these.
    I would really like the blue-haired lawyer, and I don't mind either way about Kearney. I don't think I'll buy any Mystery Boxes, but it will be nice to get something different with them each week.

    I got Squeaky Voiced Teen and am quite pleased! Thanks EA.

    Does the forum know whether will we have to wait another 4 days till we earn another mystery box or was your progress saved? I was expecting one in two more days.

    You're still progressing towards your five day box.

    I got a news van in my free box, just logged back into the game planning on buying some more but can't seem to find the option of being able to buy any more mystery boxes, is it me being stupid? I'm pretty sure I've looked at every option or do I have to wait before I can buy more?

    Go to the build menu, slide it open then select Homer Budda and then you will see the new Mr. Burns mystery box.
    Good luck :)

    The weekly box got me 30 donuts, which pretty much reimburses all the boxes I bought.

    And just wanted to add that I personally just opened the free box, and received the Itchy and Scratchy Billboard. I already owned one of these, but was happy to have a second.

    I also own 2 lard lads already, plus the First church of lard lad, so almost 3. I used one in the "opening splash screen row" with the scene showing Aztec, King Toot's, Moe's, Android's Dungeon, and Lard Lad. I had to recreate that as one of my streets.

    Then I took down a Gulp N Blow and replaced it with my 2nd Lard Lad. I have my First Church of Lard Lad above my First Church of Springfield, for the religious connection, but I am not completely satisfied with that look. I agree it is hard to blend in more than 2 of the Lard Lad's nicely without doing a major redesign.
