Lemon Trees?

Prev1
Lemon trees; I think you can only get them from mystery boxes now. That's how I got mine.

Premium items; If you are willing to spend the money on whatever, I'd say you're better off just buying everything outright then spending donuts on Homer Buddahs. No one know the chances of getting each item, but the speculation would be that the more the premium item is worth the less likely you are to get it. By using Homer Buddahs you're going to end up with an asinine amount of benches, dumpers, and white fences and be lacking in premium characters and buildings to show for your hard-earned real-life meat money.

Tree House of Horror; These items are not available anymore. No one knows if they will become available again in the future.

Funzos; I have them all, but I like seeing NPCs running around my town. Makes it more lively. Plus, I got the Pink and Red one when they were going for Santa Coins. The set completion bonus isn't exactly anything to get excited over.

    Thanks. That was really helpful. I really want a lemon tree. But you're right. I don't need any more picket fences or dumpsters.

    I got a lemon tree the first time a bought a mystery box worth donuts, and I think it might give you better odds buying the box instead of the daily bonus one. But I'm not sure, I've bought donut mystery box twice (got lemon tree and tree), and had about 6 daily bonus ones and got either normal trees or wooden fences.

    Google simpsons wiki homer buddah they have a stat sheet on odds of getting items, the homer Buddhas in my opinion is as useless as the mystery box.

    . Don't waste your money just wait 1. I got my lemon tree from the daily bonus 2. The payout isn't phenomenal and lastly you can't even see lemons right now with the snow and whatnot so just try your luck with the daily bonus and save your delicious doughnuts! :mrgreen:

    Still waiting on a lemon tree. Apparently at the end of last year they gave out some good mystery box prizes but no so much this year. Best I've seen is the bench with the jacket. Mostly fences or hedges. And the mystery boxes you can buy are rigged. I got nothing but apple and orange trees.

    Can't get an answer about any items that are no longer available because EA has the worst customer service on the planet. Wanting to know about the Mayan calendar and black hole as well as the treehouse of horror characters. Third try and no one has responded to any of my emails. Crappy way to do business.

    I wish you could trade stuff!
    I have treehouse of horror items and I put it all in my inventory except what pays cash

    I know the odds with the dog racing has changed too, before if you bet on Dogbiscuit, he seemed to have a high chance of winning. Now it seems rigged. Ive never seen a dog with the highest pay out win. Not sure if anyone else has either

    it will take several tries, maybe many to win the lemon tree. it's all random odds. some say using donuts increase your odds, but if you're patient i'm sure it will arrive in a mystery box one day.

    (in fact, when TSTO first came out, you could steal the lemon tree from neighbors and had a certain amount of time to steal it back before it becomes theirs. of course this was a reference to the episode Lemon of Troy.)
