I got the whale, I like him. He's big and clearly visible. I'm not upset but...
Some of you people talking about buying 2 or more of them sound crazy. Especially when you mention it's because you saw a 7% bonus and that excited you...
For 300 donuts you could buy 10 Jet Bikes... That's a 20% bonus... It's nearly thrice the value. Buying one makes sense, possibly even 2 if you want some kind of whale family / pod idea for a creative aspect. But buying several as some mentioned just makes you look... Like a sucker. Like EA is sitting there with a voodoo doll of you just laughing it up with a disturbing 16-hour chortle as you she'll out crazy amounts of money.
I am actually thinking that this whale is a test to see how much we will spend on something, and how big/important/relevant it needs to be for us to do so.
If this were true, we are making things much worse for ourselves in the future...I mean if enough people buy the whale, then next time it will be something else for 500 donuts, and if enough of those sell, then more and more...
That person who wanted mega-expensive items may indeed get their wish :shock:
PresidentDude, you are clearly a hacker. 9 digit cash?
Clearly, you haven't been playing long. That amount is not even in the ballpark of being a large sum of in-game cash.
EDIT: If his donuts were in the nine digits, then you would be right in you accusation.
there is one around (saw it in the italian page for the game) that gives that amount of money and gives donuts only when u buy a tree so its possible he is hacking
I just bought one!! I decided to buy 900 donuts. Got Hank Scorpio (I think hes one of the last always available premiums I need besides the Texan), Up, Up and Buffet, Shauna and the Mayflower.
I couldn't resist. I looove whales and he's just too darn cute.

Ignore this post
Headed back to the 24th century as soon as we find Spock.
This reminds me of that Blackfish documentary.
