Usually I don’t post about Playfish Cash items on my blog, but the infiltration of cash shop items into regular stores made me notice the “magnificent mystery box” now on sale in the mystery shop. For 5 playfish cash (between $0.77-0.91 USD depending on the rate you buy the coins at), you can buy a box with a magnificent mystery item inside. The label says the items are old items that are no longer in the stores.
Since I’ve played the game since there start, there are very few items that I really really want but missed buying when they were on sale for coins. I’m guessing there are a lot of items in the new box that I didn’t even want to spend coins on. I’d definitely rather buy something for coins than for Playfish cash.
On the other hand, the new boxes might be a good alternative for someone with real money to spend who didn’t play the game from the start and/or doesn’t trade for old items. Although, from what I’ve read so far, the contents of the new mystery box are not terribly impressive. The magnificent mystery items include the pink toaster, feather headdress, rosy cute lamp, Merlin’s hat, hot pink laptop, deluxe toothbrush set, pet parade balloon and rosy cute dining table. You can see more items that have been found in the magnificent mystery box in a list being updated here.
The magnificent mystery box seems pretty disappointing to me. A few of the items I didn’t like the first time around, and others were only available a few short months ago.
What do you think of the new magnificent mystery box, and would you consider buying one?
