So.. there's nothing new in the prize box... and there's still a good 70% chance of UV tickets? But why..? There's plenty of promotional reskinnery, celestial orbit masters, squirt guns, things to add and the odds are drastically out of your favor when it comes to getting the goods. If you're paying, 45K CE = 28 prize boxes; you'd have to make 1.6K CE per prize box to come out ahead and since half of them are 1 variant tickets you can have good luck with that. I guess if you wanted to go all yolo and just open something?

I'd rather they not do the UV tickets at all and just have it be worthwhile but if for whatever reason that's off the plate then yea, bundling with energy would be a good change of pace. The slime coins for the lols are great but that's like confetti, highly expendable and worth objectively 200 crowns or less.

agreed
I'd love to see some new items expanded upon for solstice, especially if they replace the UV tickets. To be honest UV tickets should be the "additional 10% chance" item rather than balloon buckets, snowball buckets, extra confetti, etc. Equinox has enough items in it to warrant it being entirely equinox themed at this point, solstice doesn't quite yet.

hope
I just hope we don't get Three Rings 2 and they just start releasing paid prize boxes again. I get that this is solstice and all, but seeing exclusive prize boxes disheartens me. There's always the slime key...

Mhmmm
Just spent 15 bucks for 3 1-UV tickets. Yay me.
I'm disappointed they didn't include energy in the price. No wonder people aren't spending money when this is the best promo they can come up with. 5 dollars for that box, is not worth it. Even getting it for free with an energy purchase barely makes energy worth buying. Disappointed.

This is a bit disappointing.
This is a bit disappointing. I understand GH needs revenue, but making it standalone on the Purchase menu makes people want to ignore it. They should give you at least one piece of costume along with the UV Tickets they have within the box(and also a shot at weapons, which is kinda stupid considering weapons shouldn't have ever been put in boxes in the first place).
I mean they're at least putting golden slime coins in there. That's something. Not really much but it's something.
Sort of saddening to see this box still be standalone. I mean, solstice is to be expected this time of year, but I still stand by my normal thoughts on solstice and equinox promos - if you have UV tickets to take up space within a box, it should be an energy bundle as to not be a bad investment.
The box itself is fine just not worthwhile on its own. I would definitely consider dropping $20 for energy bundles with this promo but not at all for standalone.
Additionally it looks like there's a typo on the wiki page or on the announcement. Announcement mentions balloon buckets, and wiki mentions snowball buckets.
