This is probably one of the cheapest times to get him. (normal 250 to buy, but you get 130 back, so net of 120), and you get the costume as well.

As for needing him to complete the event? Nope. However, this is event is worse than Act 3/Maggie, in that it wants you to check every 3 hours. I felt every 4 hours was pushing it.... All the jobs that generate stars seem to be 3hrs, and the freemium and Premium event currency generators (Space Training Center, and Simulator, respectively), are every 3 hours. By the time you get to the later quests where you need 45-50 stars, Freemium, you'll have 1 building (5 every 3 hours), and 7 fremium characters that gerenate 1 every 3 hours, for a total of 12 every 3 hours. That means for Parts 4-5, you need to check/resend 5 times, and Part 6 needs 9 checks, or just more than a day, but since I sleep, more like a day and a half for part 6, and prob about a full day each for 4 and 5.
