No bed on that "truck "....I'd call it a jeep.

And I might buy it if the price is right.

I think it's a jeep too. I'm pretty sure your goose wants to drive it.

I will be a jeep owner later today. No doubt.

I kinda like the jeep too. :)

I'll put in my request from now: If the aloe or any new crop or tree is to be 36 hours, can the developers or engineers or whoever it is that has the power over these things, get the time right for us inferior yet superior players with ios devices so that it actually says 36 hours and not 2 days? Please?

And the jeep is so tiny that it's almost the same size as my campfire!

OMG, I'm dying here! LMAO!!!!!!!!

Since when does a bale have horns???? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

That has got to be the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life!

I'm not buying the Jeep, but I guess it needs to be small so the gnomes would actually fit in it? Or are the gnomes bigger than the Jeep? Can you post a pic of them next to the Jeep?

Something postive to say................Hmmmmmmm....................... ...

The Tree is only a 12 hour one, and even though the Aloe is a flower, appropriate, it is one listed correctly in the iOS Store.

There! I knew I could finally something positive. :p

The Lizard is freaky. Even though it is for coins, I didn't buy it. The tongue distrubs me. I don't like lizards. :p

MamaMini

08-09-12, 11:08 AM

I'm happy to bring a little comedy to your day QueenTina! You cracking up had ME cracking up! :D

I LOVE the lizard! I got one right away. I didn't get the gn-eep though. (That's gnome jeep)

bobbyrae

08-09-12, 11:13 AM

I don't mind lizards. Little lizards. Lizards should be little. Little lizards are cute and adorable. Big lizards are not lizards. They're something else. Somefreakingthing else i say. I do not like big lizards. Anything bigger than my hand ought not to be considered a lizard.

*shivers at the thought of a monitor lizard roaming my farm eating all my gnomes!*

I'm happy it's not wearing clothes though. So yay for small mercies :p

queentina3

08-09-12, 11:14 AM

That was supposed to be 'disturbs'.

Anyways, Pinkster please hide that lizard otherwise I may never go to your place to water again. *shivers* I'll take a snake over a lizard any day of the week. In fact, it's raining here now and that always brings out the snakes in my yard. Maybe I should go hunt some down.......................:p

MamaMini, as soon as I read your post about the bale I went to check my game and check it out. The tiger one was just a 'meh' for me, but as soon as I saw the Gazelle one, I totally lost it. I scared my son I was laughing so hard at it. Then the Jeep pop-up, and the amount of gems, forget about it........................The paw print on the Jeep now makes me think a Gnome stepped there instead of an animal, and I KNOW Gnomes don't have toes like that, but the size just.................

Hmmmmm........................

Yeah I couldn't resist either with the lizard, but it blends with the background - don't like that. But 12 hour tree - all I have to way WOW!!!

GAH! Kooky! Go back to walking gnomes and freak pinkster out!

OMG you have to post that in Realfarmers thread! It's perfect! In fact, if you can somehow photoshop in his tank with goosie riding on it in the opposite direction, that would be even better. Let's play chicken!!!!!!!!!!! :p

Would it really be considered animal cruelty or child abuse to run it over with me car?

I just love how you put it in a pink carriage Kooky, an obvious "shout-out" to pinkster there. :p

Found out the small size is by design:(

Heads up on the jeep guys. It is really small. I am checking to see if it can be enlarged. Wanted to warn everyone before buying.

Ouch! Sorry hun. That's a lot of gems for such a small jeep :(

trace35

08-09-12, 07:30 PM

If it's by design they should have named it knome jeep.
I'm sorry but I'm just gonna get straight to the point today : THIS UPDATE SUX!
Not that the recent updates have been much better.

trace35

08-09-12, 07:31 PM

Edit gnome.

pinkster73

08-09-12, 09:57 PM

It should say it's a gnome-mobile before you buy it.

queentina3

08-10-12, 05:07 AM

It looks matchbox car size when compared to the other vehicles. Figures it would be 'by design'.

"Hey guys! Let's make a cool jeep that is TOTALLY different in scale from all other vehicles in the game! That would be awesome!"

Which is why I'm not buying it.....bought the lizard though!!

I cannot believe that Pinkster has not commented on the size and appearance of the fan aloe.

mushroom79

08-11-12, 06:42 AM

the aloe is a little disappointing. "small and ugly"....

pinkster73

08-11-12, 08:14 AM

Yes it is. But i think of it more as a crop then a flower. That's why no hissy.

08-11-12, 09:25 AM

Well I GUESS the lizard is a suitable substitute for the dog that TL wont let me have.

Ill name him Bruce.

The jeep doesn't seem too small compared to the red hay truck. It is small compared to the tractor and harvester.

BUT, it's the right size for the gnome.

I've decided my farm is located in Gnome World, so I appriciate when items are the right size for the gnomes who live there.

WendingWanderer

08-11-12, 09:42 AM

Besides, the jeep takes up less farmable space when it's small.

pinkster73

08-11-12, 10:37 AM

Bruce is an awesome lizard name.

@wendy, my farm is also in gnome land so i like the small size, but i think they should disclose things are gnome size before purchase.

WendingWanderer

08-11-12, 11:54 AM

Oh, I agree.

I'd like to see every decorative offering have a size listing with it - the jeep looks to be 1X1, or maybe 1 X 1.5

I was shocked to find how large the lizards were - 1 X 1/2. I expected them to be like the scorpions, 1/2 X 1/2

You can check how much space something will take up and get a look at it before you buy!

* Tap on something to buy (I just did this with the lizard, but I've also done it with gem items).
* A little popup says "tap on an empty space to buy."
* Tap on an empty space, but DON'T TAP A SECOND TIME. You will be able to see it.

HOWEVER-- this is my trick to make sure I don't accidentally buy something.
* Tap on an empty quarter square that's surrounded by stuff on all four sides. The thing you are trying to buy will show up surrounded by a red square telling you that you can't put it there. But you can see it! You can see what it looks like and how much space it will take up. (Of course if the thing you are trying to buy is a only quarter square -- be very very careful not to tap a second time if you don't want to buy it. Most things are larger than this, so the trick works most of the time.)

I already do this. It works well.
