did I waste money

limited time item + good bonus multiplier = nice buy in my opinion.

you could have saved them for a character building or the next event, but limited is limited, never know when/if the item will come back.

    As Alkurian said;

    Good multiplier
    Liminted time item

    And resonably priced, It's not that bad of a buy!

    I got it too cos I missed it last time. It looks good. It would be cooler to have duffman party in front of it & an oh yeah sound effect when you tap it, but I still like it. As per the above post, the bonus is pretty good too. I've also seen a duff garden/ sport area someone posted somewhere which would be good to make with all the duff related items

    I only had 53 donuts and bought it without hesitation, I've always wanted it and was shocked :shock: to see it be re-released. 50 donuts is not bad at all and this is coming from a guy that doesn't buy his donuts but just collects throughout the year :wink: Do it!! Lol. It's cool. :thumbup:

    Not a waste IMO at all. I bought it as soon as I saw it available. While I do *very* occasionally buy donuts I am mostly just an "earn" and save type player so I'm always working with a donut deficit. I'm still kicking myself for missing the Mr. Sparkle billboard, waited too long.

    You gotta spend those doughnuts on something, might as well be on something you like (multiplier or not). As for some ideas, I have mine by the bowling alley. I used to have it at the school. Got to get those kids drinking early :) I also had it in one of my brown houses driveways. I liked to think it was Duff Mans only mode of transportation and he lived in the crappy brown house because his alcoholism has taken all his money :)

    I purchased 5 last time around. I might add a couple more to my inventory just to have them.

    Hmmm, this is a good point.
    My concern about spending half my donuts on the party bus is that the Valentine update will finally show up and those fluffy heart trees I want so very badly will also cost donuts. :(

    If I had the brewery, I might be more inclined to get the bus, but at the rate I'm going it could be another couple years before I can get the brewery. *sigh* I just don't know.

    Spot on, I have roughly around 100 donuts and not sure if I should get the Party Bus as Valentines is around the corner and they might have something way better for a limited time, hmmm decisions....

    It all depends on if you like it or not. For me, it doesn't matter whether or not it is "Limited Time" because I really don't like it enough to spend 50 doughnuts on it. Same with the car. If you really like it you should get it, though. Take into account more do you like it and think it fits in your vision of Springfield.

    Let's see real $$ for pretend donuts for pretend bus. Of course you wasted you money!
    I got 3 more to go with my other 2. I fell so ashamed, can't wait till the next donut item comes out so I can forget about it. :oops:

    As long as the premium item you buy has a high percentage 2% or more you technically havent wasted your money, but at the same time there are better things to get

    I'm going to pass on this. It's a good multiplier, but without Duff Stadium or the Brewery in my town it would look out of place. There are other things I'll be putting 50 donuts towards.

    I may be in the minority, but I think multipliers are horribly overrated for longtime players. My multiplier is "only" 40% or so, but I have more money than I need and level up with ease.

    Why would I use donuts to increase my multiplier? So I can level up a smidgen more quickly and get 3 more donuts every once in a while - 3 donuts that are completely negated by the donuts I had to spend?

    At this point, I almost never buy premium items that don't include characters. Even items with tasks aren't that appealing to me anymore - I have some (hot tub, cannon) but don't bother any more because I really only want items that involve characters. The extra tasks are nice but not enough to be worth the donuts in most cases - I left Swanky Fish on the shelf because of that.

    So I'd say buy the bus if you like the way it looks, but otherwise save the donuts...

    If I get a good Golden Scratch-R tomorrow, I probably will get one. I have 79 donuts right now so if I get a 20, 50, or 100, I'll get the bus :-)

    Still miffed at wasting 125 donuts on that stupid wheel at Christmas, otherwise I'd have 200+ now and could get a nice building/character combo :-(
