Tiny Death Star Decoration Event (March 2014)

Question

So far I've only gotten a total of 8 decoration droids over the entire event. Was just wondering if anyone else has had more luck getting them or not.

Answer 1

They are rare; on the Christmas event for example, there were much easier to find. I've gotten about 18 or so, and summoned enough to complete the event with Bux. I recommend that you do the same thing, because at the very low rate they appear, you won't be able to finish the event in time.

Answer 2

There is a 1% chance of receiving a Decorator Droid.

I kept track of 400 bitizens coming to the elevator, and in that time, I received exactly 4 Decorator Droids.

Of the 400 bitizens:

305 (~76%) were regular bitizens
67 (~17%) were "?" bitizens
4 (1%) were Level Mover VIP
3 (.75%) were Big Spender VIP
4 (1%) were Recruiter VIP
5 (1.25%) were Level Upgrader VIP
4 (1%) were Celebrity VIP
4 (1%) were Supply Officer VIP
4 (1%) were Decorator Droid Special Event

Clearly the game thinks of the Decorator Droid as just another VIP, of which each one has a 1% chance of appearing.

That means that in order to obtain all of the prizes from the event without using any bux, you'd need to deliver 6,000 bitizens, or 600/day for the duration of the contest.

Answer 3

I've gotten about 8 free ones as well... The rest, I bought with bux. I've bought abt 42 and intend to buy the last 10 for the Overbridge level, but I will wait until the last day to do so.

Answer 4

I've received one decorate droid each day, I've bought all the decorator droids needed to complete the event and still, no imperial missions. I suggest that you buy the droids you can because time is running out.
