The update is here very early. Looks like:
-Eye-Small is live
-Autum Stumpy Smash's house
-Timed quest for Mini Jini

There might be something else. There is a bug in the Info screen that closes it when you get to that "screen." It happens in forward and reverse order. The 4.99 gems are giving twice as many gems, it might be that.

And just a slight vent - so annoyed they are pushing the new mini characters and quests before mine have arrived in the mail :/.

I noticed no quest for Autum's house. Oh we'll I bought it anyways.

Autumn's house is available on my screen.

Egg basket is available for purchase in the shop. Max 3 so I can not tell you how much it costs.

Dang. No quest for Stumpy's house? I might sit on buying it until closer to the 22nd then. If somebody sees a quest, please let us know.

I will debate picking up Whisper Elf's hut in the meanwhile, even though I don't have her yet I will hopefully spin for her eventually. Perhaps the better alternative is to save the gems for shrine sales.

Egg Baskets cost 100 gems, which is a massive ripoff. You can get plenty of items that give 5%+ exp boosts for cheaper, though I'm not sure why anyone would spend gems on something that only gives an exp boost (and some minor amount of energy or gold).

100 gems total ripoff it gives 250 energy every 6 hours. That is all.

Definitely one of the lighter updates but the larger updates seem to be every other week or so. I remain a huge fan of the Skylanders houses but I'm a bit sad to see the free shrines quests disappear. I guess I can't expect everything for free.

re Egg Basket: It's definitely not the best energy producer but over time it can pay for itself. I bought the Tree Rex statue when it was released in January and it has paid for itself (not to mention I kinda like Tree Rex). At 250 energy a pop you only need to collect from it 31-ish times for it to have the same Gem:Energy ratio as energy pack 2.

And here's my usual screenshots from my usual Monday blog post:

There is also a new house available at level 39. Adds 3200 Mabu on 2x2 grid spaces. Collect time is 5 hours and 900 xp.

I hear ya on the Egg Basket, but I have plenty of ways to generate energy (lots of fields) and no way to reliably generate gems (other than gifts/invites which are not entirely reliable). I don't view the gems/coins/energy costs in the store as equivalent. I can't ever imagine spending real money on coins or energy, but for the right price (300 gems for $.99--bring it back Activision and you will get my money!) I will spend money on gems.

Thanks Pico. You're the trailblazer. How much do the level 37 and 39 houses cost in coins?

But do your fields also offer a Kingdom XP bonus to adjacent buildings? Not trying to give anyone the hard sell on the Tree Rex Statue/Egg Basket, but it's not as bad of an investment as it seems when looked at over the long term. The best Hidden Offer I've seen as of late is $.99 for 150 which is still a pretty good deal.

The 37 house is 10,000. I'm not sure on the 39 house. I'm not that far along.

I don't know about anyone else but the easter egg baskets seems to be pretty common for me. I had probably sold close to 10 of them before they started to give EXP bonus. My rule of thumb is to sell anything that doesn't give me 5% or more exp bonus.

I've only recently got Easter baskets from the wishing well but I do like them as they give experience and energy. I'm not sure that I would want to spend gems on them though but I will gladly take them from the well.
I delete all the extra stuff from the well that doesn't add at least 3% as I get 3% items frequently but not much above that.

The wood Stack House (level 39 house) is 20 million gold. I am that far along. I bought four. I'm under a hundred million gold for the first time since before February.

Is there a cap on the number of wood stack houses you can buy?

If so, I have not yet reached it.

20 million. Yikes.

I am only 2 skylanders from having them all. Then I need to decide if I want some of the higher end houses or save for Swap Force.
