Usually the 3rd week into a new theme they come out with another new appliance and a new box. So I bet its a box & another appliance!

they seem to have a pool side bar. I want it! But I sure ain't gonna open a BOX and gamble my 24 gems and end up with something I don't want or won't use. Wish Team Lava would change this and make that pool side bar available in different ways, and not costing no more than 24 gems.

70 gems. New box. Been getting 4th place items all the time... Want a beach theme. Scared to buy. Hate boxes sometimes... What should I do?

And by the way, these gems were all earned, so should I?

I would see what the items look like first to see if you want anything from the box...but thats just me

Save your gems for when they put things beach related outside the box

I personally would wait and see what some of the box items are, but then if I liked several, I would buy :)

True. Used to be several people buying and posting images on box day... not so much the case anymore.

Just remember, you're going to be bummed if you buy 3 times and get lousy 4th place items that are ugly or too small or duplicates.

I'd still wait it out. No rush, it's real money we're working with ultimately anyways. If you earned them ALL I'd especially wait.

Really disappointed in both bs and rs update probably one of the worst updates I've seen so far recipes are alright but only 1 I had much higher expectations this week

Though I do hope the owner reconsiders a revamp as now it looks like the ocean threw up all over the beach resort.

driftboutique

I like the aquarium pillar, the pineapple palm (?) and the bird of paradise. I would buy some of those for gems outright, but I'm not gambling on the box.

I'm eternally grateful for the sandy brick tiles available for coins. I was stuck finding tiles for around my pool and had to make do with the cobble stones. Now I have updated and my pool looks fantastic. :D

Well, first time I buy a box. Got the seashellsofa, and wanted to try one more time.
What i got in my second box? A bloody seashell sofa. So now I have 2 of them for 48 gems, Yaaay! NOT...

Yeah, I did not think you could get duplicate if you bought the next box directly after.

But guess I was wrong, probably the first and the last time I bought boxes.

They really should remove the possibility to get duplicates atleast.

06-22-12, 09:01 AM
I like the private tiki booth and the chef cooking. This might be worth opening and gambling...but if I get something else other than these two things...I'LL BE FREAKING PISSED!!!!!!!!!!

kittycountess
06-22-12, 12:23 PM
They really should remove the possibility to get duplicates atleast.Once I bought the Valentines box and got the 'Dinner for Two' three times in a row. I was so pissed. I agree that they shouldn't allow for the same prize if you're buying the box right after. But they ignore a lot of things people have been asking forever (cancelling pending invites for example) and this actually helps them sell more gems so I doubt they'll ever do it.

I would've bought this box at least once if it weren't for that ugly starfish lamp I'm sure I'm doomed to get. It's just not worth the risk. I love the Sous Chef, the private booth and the pool bar though.

kittycountess
06-24-12, 09:58 AM
Well I gave in and bought the stupid box, and guess what I got: the ugly starfish lamp.

Of all the items in there, that was my least favorite. In fact I stayed away from the box because I dreaded getting this ugly ass thing and waste my gems. And what'ttaya know, that's exactly what I got.

The person at Team Lava who designed that hideous thing and the one who stamped it and added it to the box are both morons. It has nothing to do with the beach resort theme. It doesn't even fit my living room theme because it's bigger than my shelves. I really want to know which genius thought a shaded lamp could be a part of a beach resort. Maybe the grandmother of someone in the staff. :mad:

sunstorm01
06-24-12, 11:11 AM
Lmao I totally agree. It's the worst designed... Oops sorry it's one of the worst designed items ever. I like things being in proportion, a few of the items are obtusly designed. But the one that annoys me the most is the woodland arch. But I can sort of understand that one, let it slide since it was one of the first few boxes. It honestly really shows how disconnected the design team is. Tut tut on this one. And where am I supposed to put my 4 oversized lamps???
