even without being unlocked officially though you can sometimes gather the items for it right?

new stuff a la belles unlocking: concessions are in chests now. which is great because I FINISHED 51 ON THE FREAKIN LEADERBOARD...so annoyed.

yeah, I just got Belles gloves from Mike who I sent off before the time to welcome her had started

Now just 19 more

I think the $6.99 is kind of ridiculous. It's not like I can't afford it,but they are manipulating the situation to squeeze money out of people constantly with all these "special" events. I'm thinking I'll just get Chip with gems that I have earned, since land is also precious and it's getting crowded in my park. I also think that it makes the game more interesting. I'm sure this won't be a popular opinion, but I'm not going to let them scare me into constantly paying for these things when they are completely useless once the event is over. Even the characters seem pretty much useless once the event is over.

In other news, I was pleasantly surprised to finish 10th in the last contest, so now I have a croissant stand! And I'm glad to see something new in those chests since now I can get rid of my platinum stockpile.

The tiki room is a nice bonus though right?

Yes, I love it! But I still have 3 gold and 3 platinum chests which will only yield magic (and I have over 3.7 mil) or decorations which I have multiples in storage. It's just greed we all want more always

 

[wisshhuponastar7]

I bought the Chip and BOG package.

What are the new things showing up in the Gold and Platinum chests. Wondering if I should start unlocking now or wait a little longer

silver chet has the croissant one, Gold chest has a concession with a cake, platinum the one with the strawberry crepes

150 gems though... UGH
and Chip Potts for 250... this is an expensive event

I agree that this is an expensive event. I just spent the last of my gems that I've been saving for months on Chip and Be Our Guest. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite movies so it's worth it, but ouch!! It will be a while before I can purchase any new gem characters (either that or I have to forgo sleep and become more competitive in the leaderboard tournaments lol!) I did well in this one and now have 10 gems lol!
I don't spend any real money on this game.

Same here about not spending real money. But I've finished leveling up all characters (with exception of BatB of course) so my only gem revenue now is the theatre and contests (managed 1st in the trophy event). I just bought Chip and it took me down to the 440 range, so contemplating on Be Our Guest currently.... but who knows what characters the next event will bring

Poo, I haven't gotten the Chip offer, instead I got 100 gems, 5000 currency for $4.99

When and saw the new BatB movie last night. Not bad and don't think it is for young kids.

How are they squeezing us or trying to scare us? If we want to spend money, that's fine. If not, it's OK. There's still plenty of content you can enjoy for free. And the two free gems a day from the movie theater is actually pretty generous compared to many other games that I've played.

 

[HappyRoadTrip]

ARRGH I had itchy trigger finger and bought Chip Potts with gems instead of the deal with the restaurant. I am so kicking myself.
I was playing in my sleep all night in order to get the croissant stand. (which didn't work) Now some premium chests are cooking, in order to get those lovely patisserie stands!

How? By making it almost impossible to finish the event. If it wasn't timed so carefully it wouldn't be an issue. I knew I'd hit a nerve by posting that comment. I don't have Wall-E right now. I do have Pluto. I made those choices without the threat of not being able to finish an event. Watch towards the end of this even (or scroll back and see all the others) and see how people will be stressing about getting Gaston, getting the tavern, or something else all because they chose not to pay real money for the event. If you buy all the promos you're paying more that $100 for a little game, and that's ridiculous IMHO. Just one person's opinion. And yeah, I know they are in it for the money, which is why the game exists. Of course they are, but I have played lots of iPhone games and I do not think this one is generous, nor have I felt such pressure to pay up or lose out before. Let's just say that I'd be much more likely to pay for premium items and characters if they were expanding the storyboard, continuing with the main storyline, etc. instead of pushing these timed events.

That is perfectly within your right to feel that way. I routinely pay $60-75 for xbox games that I play for a bit. I dont see spending $100 on a game that some people have been playing for a year now as ridiculous. I do agree that there should be some more content than what appears. However, if people want to pay, great. If not, that is cool as well. But it is no secret how these games are played and what their main goal is. I have only been playing since a day or two before New Years. So far I have bought Pluto, Rex, the Mulan offers and now the BATB Chip offer (just remembered I bought a few .99 deals before they fixed it to $3.99). That puts me around $25. For three months of play and fun with my kids who also play, Im fine with that. I have played a few games and this one seems on par with their gem offers. Far from under the average based on what I have seen

That's a normal promotion type of offer. The chip and restaurant offer is in the event area. Select the box at the bottom and then click on the icon that looks like a present. It should have the special concessions and the $6.99 offer listed.

 

[Acer]

I have sent Chip on his 60 min quest twice and no gloves.

 

[*SecondStarToTheRight*]

Did anyone else get the chip and be our guest restaurant offer at 9.99? Is it really a 3 dollar difference if you're playing in Canada?

Me too! I don't know how because 15 minutes before event stopped I was 25 trophies ahead of spot 50, in 34th place. Then I end up at 51!!

Suspect...

Yup! Plus there is tax on that price. It's ridiculous in Canada.

Ohh don't fret, we get taxed on it here too...
