    The only thing I don't have is Mount Carlmore.

    I want to get the deal if I would get Mount Carlmore. But I might end up with another lard lad or another Ferris wheel.

    Check out this page on the Simpsons wiki. It clearly shows what buildings you "could" get and the odds of getting them. Also got the Ferris wheel case it looks like you already had one of the other items and got a Ferris wheel instead. It's all random everyone, just saying. http://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/The_Simpsons:_Tapped_Out_Summer_Donut_Sale_update

    You'll still only have a 9% chance of getting Mount Carlmore, and a 91% chance of getting either a Ferris Wheel or Lard Lad. If you want specifically Mount Carlmore, you're far better off buying the $7.99 discounted deal and getting it that way.

    Sure, it sounds like a sh!tty deal alright but you should have learned by now not to trust the 'luck' element in the game...

    Am I the only one who thinks what you got is what you got. I mean you knew what you were going for when you paid for that, especially considering there was already a thread about what's in the box and the odds of getting things.

    This thread reminds of how a person buys a mega millions loto, and demands a refund because he didn't win the jackpot.

    EA is back to their old ways of getting people to gamble their money away, except this time they are outright asking for money. You spent it so just live with it.

    Hopefully they hook you up with something you don't have but I'm not sure how likely that'll be, since they'll open the doors to everyone coming and asking for something else. Either way good luck to you.

    In defence of the OP, they posted this first thing this morning, before any of the lists and odds were out (at least on this forum)... Pioneering means risk, I suppose...

    True, this was posted while I was still asking for a list of the items. I didn't see any at the time.

    I agree with AJtheboss1 but I know OP did it before all the info was available. NOW that there IS a list + info, I hope people don't get up all in arms and go contacting EA because they didn't get what they want.

    I will wait 7 days until the next game update.

    I agree with AJtheboss1. OP could've been patient and waited for the list, after all the deal is here for 7 days.

    I personally was holding out for Gil to get some donuts, I already have everything on the list, so a premium bonus is ok considering I was getting donuts anyhow (the second Ferris Wheel adds nicely to my SP). I definitely would've preferred a % off prices or a % more donuts like better Gil Sales but I'm not going to go demanding action because I don't like what I was given when I took a shot at a 'mystery'.

    I too got a Ferris Wheel this morning. The lists weren't out yet at the time. I went to EA chat and nicely asked the rep if it would be possible to exchange it for another premium building as I already had a wheel. The rep said they couldn't do it, but gave me 15 donuts for my trouble.

    I thought it was a very nice gesture on the rep's part.

    Well here's an update.

    Went to customer service and they said they couldn't refund me. They told me to contact iTunes instead for a refund.
    So I sent an email to iTunes customer service and they agreed with me and refunded me my money.

    I guess this will be the last time I ever buy anything from Gil!
