Howdy-do Neighborinos!

I've been having alot of fun playing the Clash of Clones event. I started playing Tapped Out in April, on the tail end of the Easter event. I was tapping bunnies like crazy and collecting eggs, but I didn't have any neighbors so I was only aware of being able to earn or buy a few items with the eggs. I didn't participate in the trading of eggs with neighbors, so I really missed out on that one!

When Stonecutters rolled around, I was able to play from Day one, which was great. The sad thing was that I didn't have all the characters yet so I didn't get to complete all of the scrolls. Plus I also only had one neighbor that I could visit, but she never visited me back, so I never saw a handshake. I wasn't able to complete the Stonecutters event and it's a bummer since now that I do have neighbors I can see what I missed out on!

My husband set up an account and paid my Springfield a visit. For the first time I had a neighbor handshake! I added more neighbors and now I'm quickly moving to catch up on my Frink points gifts. I just got the lighthouse. My neighbors are helping me with more xp, cash and Krustyland tickets. It's so much quicker to move through the game with the help of neighbors!!

Which brings me to the current event, Clash of Clones. I'm 500 gold away from getting my Homer Barbarian statue, so I'll be able to complete the freebie set before the event closes, whew! I've also purchased most of the special decor, etc with either potions or donuts. I have almost 10,000 potion saved up to purchase duplicates or any newly added prizes right before the event closes (this is an old screenschot.)

The question is, once I hit 38,000 in gold, should I keep leveling up my castle for more nerds? I won't actually need anymore potions or gold from raiding. My thinking is that it would be better to use my nerds to give the full 5 attacks per day to my neighbors. I only need to attack with one nerd on each house so that my neighbor can collect the potion for defending.

Your thoughts? Please post a snapshot of the prizes you've collected so that we may be envious!
