Hey EA !

It certainly wouldn't kill them donut-wise to throw us a bone every now and again...We all loathe receiving tree/fence/parking lot/newspaper dispenser/cash/etc at day 5. They should adjust (read: correct) the odds like they did from the Christmas to the Valentines's Day wheel.

Or maybe they could replace the day 5 mystery box "prizes" with a Homer Buddha so we could at least get 10 white fences in lieu of: inside your mystery box is another mystery box, which yields nothing you want.

I know 10 or 30 free donut prizes are out there, but not everyone has been so "lucky."

    How about you up the ante on the mystery boxes, like being able to win low level premium items such as orange / apple trees, tree forts or cars. Just a thought.
    That's what the Homer Buddha has as prizes.

    true but the homer Buddha fences give some money and xp bonus and we still have a CHANCE of getting better stuff even though it is very small. Also the mystery box COULD give premium characters and even some premium decorations and buildings but the chances are little to none and even if you do win the prize of 30 doughnuts even though its cool you can only get a small decoration with it or use it towards a purchase of doughnuts. So ya I think we should get a homer Buddha instead of a mystery box.

    The mystery box does give premium stuff for example:Tire fire, Lard Lad, Squeaky Voiced Teen and a Homer Buddha

    The mystery box was a good idea at the start of the game, and still is. Free decorations and small amounts of money were just fine when the game was maxed out at level 20. However, the game has evolved greatly since it's beginnings and I think it's time for the mystery box to evolve as well.

    I think that similar to the Lemon Tree, there should be some box-only items. A character would be nice (I know we have svt and moleman available in there but it doesn't make them special)

    I got the lemon tree in the very first box i received. Since then, nothing has come close. Eventually, i'll use up all the parking spots, and newspaper boxes and fences.

    I have said this to 5 people now, you can't get Hans Mole man from a mystery box!

    You do know that getting a lemon tree is as common as getting $250

    I agree...I keep getting fences and parking spaces.

    I've gotten one lemon tree in the year i've been playing. Don't remember how many times i've gotten the $250 prize. I don't know what the odds are, but if there is a way to get even worse odds, then i'll do it.

    Guess I can't complain. In my first 2-3 months of playing last year I got SVT, Frink's Lab, the Lemon Tree, a jacket/park bench, and 3 white fences. Since then I've gotten another jacket bench, more white fences, and last month I got 10 donuts. So I feel very fortunate, however, they might increase the incidence of white fences and add flower planters, apple trees, etc.
