@Suzq, there’s no easy answer to that — you may be sorry you asked.

When MEBC started, the no-brainer deal for me was the opportunity to acquire really powerful hats on the cheap. Samurai is a x11 hat and you could ONLY get them through MEBC. Every season you could get one samurai hat for 1000 coins (or maybe it was 1250) but only one at a time. Eventually you could get the samurai hat for each bird, plus a slingshot upgrade for completing the set. But if you missed a season you were out of luck.

All the other power hats are the x10 (legendary category). If your Bomb is already wearing a x11 hat, there’s no point in buying a x10 hat, UNLESS you can complete that set to get the slingshot upgrade. But the value of doing that is ONLY for the slingshot — the hat itself gives you nothing.

Well, they’ve raised the “sale” price to 1500 coins now, putting it out of reach for a lot of casual players. And to buy a complete set of x10 hats through MEBC’s normal price @ 5000 each would take a very long time. As would accumulating 175,000 black pearls to get them through the hat shop. And all this, remember, is just to upgrade the slingshot.

On the other hand, for 1000 coins you can get 50,000 feathers that you can award to any bird and immediately upgrade that bird, maybe more than once depending on the level it’s at. And using the double feather bonus, I was able to upgrade 2 birds for only 1000 coins. That strikes me as a pretty good ROI.
