What 'special' building did you get from the dumpster?

    I didn't bite on this deal because it wasn't near enough of a "deal" to entice me. It should have been so much better.

    Not sure why people are upset after buying it though. Basically it is donuts @ the normal $50 lvl conversion plus a building of EA's choice for 24 donuts. Still a small savings even if EA is using the wheel of misfortune to pick your building.

    Right - it's basically a random building for 24 donuts. If you really really wanted one of the other ones you didn't get...good news, you have 576 donuts to spend!
    New neighbors always welcome!

    I received the Duff Stadium. I don't have any of the other items that were possible to receive.

    You know what would have made this enticing? Putting some limited-time buildings in that box. There are plenty of people who would pay $35 for a shot at the supercollider or mapple store.

    I have none of the buildings listed and got a Ferris wheel. Would have preferred an actual building, but it is what it is! :)

    WOW!! How disappointing! I am sorry for your luck. I guess this actually proves that Spanser was correct with his post. When whomever posted the original list, they said 11 buildings formed the initial set of prizes, with Ferris Wheel and Lard Lard only given in place of having all of one of the sets of 5 and 6 buildings. While Spanser said the list was correct, but you have an equal chance to win any of the 13 buildings.

    Yeah, I figured I'd end up with something good. I was a freemium player until a couple months ago so don't have too many premiums. Sigh...I'm trying to find the positive in having a Ferris wheel! haha It's not BAD...but a building would definitely have been cooler. :roll:

    So I waited until Saturday to buy the donuts. And in my long awaited premium mystery box I got . . . A Ferris Wheel!!

    D'oh!!

    I know how you feel, bobcatgirl97!

    I have four of the other buildings, as I said earlier, so I was hoping for a few of the other 7 unique buildings I did not have, not the Ferris Wheel or Lard Lard, that you can have duplicates of. Oh well, I now have donuts to spend as well, so I am can start contemplating my next purchase. I got a little excitement from the purchase in wondering what was in the mystery box. A Ferris Wheel is not that bad, at least it earns a payout and I have the room on my Squidport tiles. Time to start redecorating.

    In terms of actual cost of donuts, the Ferris Wheel is 120, so that value is good. And having the payout is nice. But with the 120 value, plus 576 donuts, the effective cost was 5 cents per donut, which is a decent deal. Less than everything except the boatload.

    Well i picked up the $8 and $35 donuts deals and got the Carlmore mountain thingy which is good for another 3.5% .
    With the new cache of donuts I got Dr Nick who is awesome ("i went to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College") and the Mayflower for more multiplier goodness.

    Saving the donuts for later but really agonizing between Volcano/Scorpio and Motel/Ms Springfield....

    Awesome!! I love Dr. Nick's voice overs, they are hilarious!! "I better get drunk early" can come at some funny times, if it is turned up nice and loud.

    I don't have the Volcano Lair/Scorpio, but I did get the Sleep Easy with Miss Springfield. The storyline with Quimby is funny. And the Motel as a decoration is a nice addition, with a payout. It can go well in a few different areas of a town, which is always nice. But as I said, I haven't done any of the Hank Scorpio quest, it is probably pretty crucial also!

    Cool. Good attitude, and you now have 576 new donuts that you need to decide how to spend. :lol:

    Edit: To bubsx3, I know that a duplicate item is disappointing, but you do have the donuts to buy any of the other items, if you would like. If would have been much better if they had somehow programmed a way to prevent receiving duplicate items, but they did not. I knew that before I made the purchase.

    But again, to look on the bright side, you now have 576 new donuts to decide how to spend :lol:

    That would be amazing. Maybe in the future, we never know. I would like to be able to get the Super Collider and the Black Hole to go with it!! I also had the opportunity, but did not purchase Fruit Batman skin for Mr. Burns, and I would like to see it brought back. But just in regards to buildings the Super Collider is number 1 on my list.
