according to the tapped out forums those are gone from the new ones. you HAVE to update to get the new ones though.

it's in this icon:

wnolan1992

I don't have that icon.

But hey, probably better off, I just got my mystery box for playing on consecutive days. F*cking large hedge.

endacl

The new post-update mystery box rocks! Had 30 donuts, and just thought why not...

News van, blue haired lawyer, bomb shelter, news van, khlav kalesh stand, 10 donuts, tire fire, minnow pond, 10 donuts, Kearney, 30 donuts, khlav kalesh stand, bomb shelter, I&S billboard, minnow pond, chalmers car.

News van, lawyer, kk stand, tire fire, and billboard are all new items that I didn't have. Well worth the 30, most of which I still have left.

when you click on the build menu button, (bottom right corner) you get this:



swipe right where it's circled and you should see it

(also UPDATE YOUR GAME FROM THE APP STORE)

Mars Bar

It worked once I updated!

I got one mystery box today for playing consecutive days and got the news van, happy days. Then I decided I'd buy two boxes after reading this. Got another news van - grr (although it gives 2% bonus xp and money) and blue haired lawyer (yay!).

I kind of want to buy more now. I had 103 donuts, now down to 91. Hmm..... Should I? .

I bought 16 at 6 donuts each. And got back 50 Donuts in prizes. Plus a load of premium items.

Course you bloody should!

Woshy

Ok, I decided to let myself get down to 50 donuts. I won 30 so I spent them as well. I got Kearney, Squeaky Voiced Teen, the Tyre fire, two billboards, another news van (grr!), 2 Khav Khalesh stands, minnow pond, and 2 chalmers cars

Not a bad haul plus it was fun

Won Chalmer's car on my free box, then decided to get spendy.

Cool. I have all the premium items there now then. I purchased Kearney by mistake ages ago when I had donut spend confirmation off due to a reinstall, and got squeaky voiced teen and lemon tree in a mystery box.

I've everything on the list, bar lard land.

I'm at this game too long...

wnolan1992

Finally got it updated. Only had 17 donuts, and got Chalmers' Car (yay!) and a Khlav Kalesh cart (ugh, had two of those already). Tempted to buy some donuts for the first time to avail of this chance to get those premium characters...

CSSE09

I was very very lucky with mine, first box I got bluehaired lawyer, followed by Kearney, news van, chandlers car, pond, 30 donuts, lard lad, tyre fire. Grand total of 12 donuts spent.

wnolan1992

I hit the Store All button, as I'd felt my town was getting to be a bit of an unmanageable mess.

I just spent 15 minutes creating a park in the centre with the Jebediah Statue, and have little or no desire to rebuild.

Oops. :pac:






It's a smashing park though in fairness... :P

Chance to get 15 donuts by doing the Easter bunny's easy tasks.

Edit: As pointed out below it's 20 that you get. Overlooked the first 5.

Spent 12 of them on two mystery boxes. Won lard land and 30 donuts.

Now have all the mystery box premium prizes. Score.

wnolan1992

I got 20 donuts. 5 for building easter fences, 5 for a Lisa job, and 10 for tapping the Easter float.

Had 20 already, so spent 40 on the Egg Council Guy.

What a waste. Doesn't even have jobs, just walks around.

Woshy

Yep, I got 20 donuts as well. I'm going to save them

Sunny Dayz

Got 20 donuts aswell. Got enough for blocko shop. Also spent on mystery box, got a bomb shelter.
