EA can certainly count on me never spending a penny again.
To top it off I've had one blue basket in the last 5 days, zapping bunnies today has produced 4 baskets but given the event will now more than likely end they are utterly worthless. A dreadfully thought and planned event from the start.
All I missed was Shari, Hugs and Kodos, so I did OK I suppose.
I did manage to squeak out 50 fences to get the 15 donuts, so figured why not spend 50 donuts that I had earned throughout the event on golden eggs. I now have an inventory full of Easter gates, pastel fences and other useless Easter decorations that I can't even sell! Serves me right for wasting donuts! :evil:
And to top it all off, this morning after the event was supposed to have ended, I finally get two baskets - first I've gotten since finishing the quest line! Thanks for nothing!
Figured I'd grind out one more round to try and get some gold eggs. As luck would have it, I got 300 in my uncommon for that last gold spin. 250 pink eggs. Really? Someone put this thing out of its misery. I was considering spending some doughnuts on some gold eggs, but who needs paid disappointment. At least when you go to a casino, they don't make you clean the parking lot before they let you play their machines.
I'm trying to buy donuts for a last ditch effort to get Johnny Fiestas and the Blocko Store, but as soon as I click purchase it tells me there was an error.
I guess there will be no final day prizes for me.
All I wanted was those two building. I got virtually everything but.
in 55 pink boxes and about 6 or 7 gold boxes opened today, I got Chirpy Boy and Bart Jr, as well as the Blocko Store.
Still missing Shary Bobbins, Kodos Topiary, Egg Council Guy, and Hugs Bunny.
So, all total, I DEFINITELY opened more than 81 boxes....I think that whole 80 or 81 box thing meant 81 BOXES OF THAT PARTICULAR COLOR, which makes that "guarantee" pretty much impossible.
That's exactly what it meant. I counted as I went. On 80, Shari Bobbins. On 81, Hugs. :?
I have 489 uncommon eggs and 200 gold. If I can get 11 more uncommon and spin 300 gold, I can open one last gold. I really need one more gate, right? Maybe it'll be pastels fences. God forbid it be one of the two characters or at least the multiplier of still-missing Kang.
Pretty good for not spending any money, but would have been a lot better if baskets didn't stop dropping for over 2 weeks.
What an awesome first post! Even still, this account is quite telling of the odds to get the good stuff. And by good stuff, I mean the stuff from the gold boxes.
My last throw of the dice was a blue box. Prize? 300 gold eggs. Then tried the gold box. Prize? A blue basket... a blue basket that now rots in my town next to another blue basket, both of them empty and likely to stay empty. I spent the last three weeks of this event opening nothing but blue boxes to get Johnny Fiestas. I was very confident that with THREE WEEKS, surely I'd get Fiestas. I never did. Thanks EA: worst event yet.
I saved my eggs and filled baskets with my blue (common) to get lots of pink, knowing that my odds of getting higher numbers of gold boxes were better with pink eggs than with blue. I got enough eggs for 11 gold boxes and on the very last one I got Father Sean. I also managed to get enough fences to get to the required 50 for the 15 donut bonus. Overall the only items that I am missing is Shari Bobbins, Hugs Bunny and the Kodos Topiary (got two Kangs but no Kodos). The one item that I coveted the most was not one of the characters, it was actually the Blocko store and I got that so I'm happy. Do I wish I had gotten everything? Of course. But I didn't and I can accept that and move on with my life.
I finally decided to break down and spend some donuts, as I've not gotten any characters and the event is basically over. Spent 25 on 1700 gold eggs. Got three spins now!
Spin 1: Easter gate (my freaking 5th!)
Spin 2: Kodos Topiary (my 2nd, and no Kang to match!)
Spin 3: Father Sean! Finally, something worthwhile! I want Sherry too, but no chance of that happening at this point.
Overall, this has been a stressful event, and my first where I didn't earn all the prizes I'd hoped to. There are so many ways they could have made this fun instead of frustrating! Oh well.
I'm pretty frustrated. I got sucked in and bought some donuts so that I could buy gold boxes and try for the two characters. I dropped 200 donuts and got nothing worth while!
I just got enough of my common colour eggs to open another box hoping for fences to pass the 50 and get my donuts but I got 100 gold eggs which leaves me 100 short of a gold box and I still need Sharie Bobbins. This is torture...
Pretty good for not spending any money, but would have been a lot better if baskets didn't stop dropping for over 2 weeks.
Congrats
I had the same problem with baskets, but you made out a little better than I did. Saved all blue eggs for the past week for one last shot at Johnny Fiestas, but no such luck. Got a bunch of gold eggs and fences but still came up short of the 50 needed for the bonus. Probably would have made it if there had been 3 in the gold box instead of just 2 (still don't get that).
On the upside I did the Blocko Store, the Banana Dictatorship, the lizards, and the Egg council guy, as well as 60+ doughnuts from friend visits ( by far the best I've done in this amount of time) :-)
Could revisit my friends, so I snuck in another blue box. Great, 300 gold eggs! I have exactly enough for another go at a gold box...pull it up...and...BAM...250 pink (common) eggs. If the update to stop the event takes a few more hours, I could probably get another blue, but no more gold, so, I guess I'm officially done (without Bobbins or Hugs). Gave away pink and blue eggs to the few baskets still floating around. I wish my friends better luck than me.

250 blue eggs.
So glad this event is nearly over.
Spin 1: Easter gate (my freaking 5th!)
Spin 2: Kodos Topiary (my 2nd, and no Kang to match!)
Spin 3: Father Sean! Finally, something worthwhile! I want Sherry too, but no chance of that happening at this point.
