Finally hit 275 gems and bought Rafiki! I now have all the characters from this event (my first event). I may not have any of the fancy stands, or the parade float, but I feel accomplished for having completed my collection of the characters. Now to just gather as much event currency as possible for the gem conversion (at 28k right now). I don't plan on leveling up the characters any further until after the event. Currently have Zazu & Pumbaa lvl 8, Nala & Timon lvl 7, Simba lvl 4, Rafiki & Scar lvl 1. Rafiki and Scar are the only ones not yet ready to lvl up again, so I'll try to gather the last token I need for each of them, and collect more paintings (about 14 shy of max).
