Unlike Mrs. I, Dash appears to be like other characters where you have to use other characters to collect a bunch of items before you can actually welcome him. If you click on Dash in your character list, you can see the items he needs.
I don't see any of them, that's the problem. He's still greyed out, but when I click on him instead of the little blurb at the bottom that says "available in xx days" like it does for Mr. I, it says "go online to welcome".
I've also never had any ads, and have never paid anything for the game.
Right now I don't have enough Incredicash for it, so if I want these kids to be happy I have to take the time to do more Incredibles tasks. I know it's not really a big deal, but honestly I AM kind of annoyed at how this event is intruding on my regular gameplay. I guess I never should have even started with Mrs. I, but I didn't know that it would start affecting other things. Now if I buy the Energy Rings I'm sure the next batch of kids will want whatever the next Incredibles ride is. Hmph.
Didn't think it would be as easy as Mrs I, but 15 of each? Seriously? And suddenly, now I want Dash earhats, Mrs I is dropping the earhats for Frozone that she wouldn't cough up pre-Dash welcome! Triffic!!
Not that my husband has noticed, (and I haven't 'fessed up) but my addiction to this game is sufficiently bad enough that if I get up to pee in the night, I start off my next parade/tasks and collect in Magic while I'm up!!
