    4 items were offered to me. The Evil Spechuler, Nightmare pile, Acorn Kirk, Luanne squirrel, all in that order. Bought all 4 and happy with them.

    Does Acorn Kirk still only have an 8 & 24 hr premium tasks? I would almost want to try for him if he has a full task list, but I already have an 8 hr premium task for him, and I hardly ever use 24 hr tasks, so that skin would be a total waste for me if that's all that's still there for him.

    They completed the task lists on all the costumes when they took down last year's Halloween event. I don't know why they left those out during the event, but I remember it was very unpopular.

    I broke down. temptation is so.....tempting.

    Basically spent 120 donuts for Marge, but I got her on the second try. Got stupid acorn costume first :/

    Sounds like you just like to complain.

    You sound like you like to talk mess to people you don't know. There are literally THOUSANDS of people complaining right now - and for the last 16 hours and probably will continue to do so- About EVERYTHING.
    Why do you feel you need to speak to me.. at all, let alone like a troll?
    Does it make you happy?
    Nvm, I'm sure a person like you isn't happy often. .

    Probably because you're posting your whinings in a public forum.

    Let the fire fizzle out, don't put anymore wood on the fire, otherwise the fire will continue to blaze.
    In other words don't give people the fuel to let them get at you. Ignore and the fire will burn out.
    Just as I do.

    You know, acorn's not that bad. It's a premium skin for a freemium character, and it has fun animations. I actually bought it last year. Sounds like you did pretty well.

    The squirrel costume, on the other hand, is a premium skin for an already-premium character. Total waste. Wish they'd stop doing that.

    I totally agree with this. Grabbed one more Box just now hoping for Kirk and got him (was 50/50 with Luann).

    A lot of it will also depend on your play style. I set my town on 24 hour tasks always, unless they have an event task. So Kirk fits right in there since he has only 8- and 24- hour tasks (unless this has changed). Luann has only 4- and 8-hour tasks, and is premium-over-premium, so this is a no-win situation for me.

    Also agree with this. A lot of the time people will just say things to get a reaction out of you. Just ignore. Not sure why people are jumping on Turkey1010's comment, it seemed to the point and relevant to the thread. But getting pulled into this trolling is non-productive.

    After the event last year, they added a full set of tasks to both skins.

    And I stand corrected! Thanks... now I'm tempted to get Luann's Squirrel costume!

    Well EA can kiss my lumpy pumkin lol. Because I don't have the sepulcher of evil but it doesn't show the myster pumpkin in the premium section. Just recently the witch and her house. Sooooo EA is trying to make us mad.

    I guess if the mass gets it then who cares about a few people who are premium that actually keep this game going.

    I know there's more premium users as well but my point is valid. I pay to play this great game we all enjoy.


    Sooooo. I figure they should make sure everyone can play the game with everything in tact

    I'm using a iPad device.

    But I doubt that's the issue?

    Never had missing stuff for purchase before.
  • Last year they offered the cauldron by itself for 25 donuts I think. I bought it. Does this mean I can't get witch marge? She doesn't appear in my mystery pumpkin. Anyone else experience this?
  • I don't buy anything unless I know what I'm buying. :)
  • I got a rock! I mean a helicopter -bad luck
  • The premium Halloween section disappeared for me with the last update. So I can't even spend donuts on this right now. Weird. But not in a spooky way.

    I mostly use 4 hour tasks, so at least I get to see Luann in my town now.

    I have the same problem I bought the cauldron last year but I didn't buy witch Marge because I didn't have enough donuts... for this year I was hoping to get her but she is not in my mystery box

    It probably is the problem. I didn't like it when they unbundled those two things last year, and now it is causing problems.
  • It happened. Just as the prophecy foretold. 300 donuts for the Sepulcher and Acorn Kirk, with 3 things thrown in I didn't want. But you know what? It happened on the best day it could have happened on. Everything is fine with the world today. No complaining here. I actually wanted these 2 things enough to have payed this much for them and can afford them today in a way I couldn't have yesterday.

    Oh and that totally blows about not being able to get the witch if you have the kettle already. Um..... contact them about it? They've added options for people like you in the past. Or consider selling your kettle (if that can even be done)????? That's a bitter place to be in, though, paying for a cauldron twice, and maybe the witch wouldn't even appear after you sold it.

    I was wondering who would want the cauldron without the costume or vice versa, but then it said nothing about those things belonging together.

    If they would just make the cauldron a non-unique item, then all would work.
