Hi all the new le building for Mexico is out, at 7 million it's called The mad scientist lab..... Stupid name, bad income collect every 18 hours.... It looks just like the electric plant building.

Yeah, except it isn't available on iOS for my LLP.

What the hell?

The current LTB in crime city is rubbish from an income standpoint too, but the upgrade costs are relatively modest too so you should look on it as a cheap-ish way to get 10 good units

If it wasn't for the units I would never bother upgrading it

Agreed. I shall only get 1 of them and may delete it after all the upgrades as it is a sight for sore eyes!

I am not impressed either, but I guarantee that the upgrade costs are relatively cheap. I'm hoping to take this one to 10. Mine isn't done building yet, but I hope it looks at least halfway decent in my base lol. I won't delete it after because I like showing that I have 2 of every LE building released thus far :)

The phrase "a sight for sore eyes" means you are glad to see it.

At least you can see it. I can't build the darn thing because I can't see it like the last two buildings so I don't know where to try to sit it down. Have no idea how big it is to know how much space it needs. Looks like I will be missing out on this one also.

Horrible, horrible looking building and mad scientist? Really Gree! We're not 5 years old ffs. I'll be hiding the building in my base somewhere so I can't see it. Lots of trees around it to hide the purple!

I think it is brilliant! If you have looked at Mexico´s prizes, all are Halloween-themed and as far as I know, Mexico celebrates the Day of The Dead, so.. do the math! :D Reminds me of "old Funzio days" when there was a bit humor in units too.

Granted, 18 hour payment cycle is difficult to handle but hey, variety is the spice of life. :)

Yes its ugly, big, pays at an odd time, doesn't pay much; but it is still a building you don't need to spend gold to buy. So I will have two. I will upgrade one as far as I can for the units. Then I will forget about it like is power plant cousin.

I wonder what the units will be like, maybe extraterrestrial something or rather, would explain the thread before about the alien units.

Why couldn't we have had a Mexican method lab making 3billion every 48hrs? Cost 10$?

I'm buying one, leveling it up to 4 for the units, and then buying a second.

Per the Toolkit, the level 4 upgrade costs around $50M-$60M. Level 5 upgrade is in the $80M range.

I like 18 hour buildings. Once you get into a cycle, just collect them every morning. In that sense they are better than 24 hour buildings, at least for those of us with regular schedules. 24 hour buildings are good for a week or so, but then you forget to collect and it sits there for 8 hours during work. Or overnight. 18 hours is just always there for you, every day. Just my preference.

It's obvious this is for the raiders who don't build up their bases so they have a low IPH. If it wasn't for the quest I wouldn't even bother with it. I just broke 5 million IPH. A measly 87k every 18 hours isn't going to do much for me.

Looking for the thread with all this info. Am I missing it somewhere buried in the forum?

Great idea. And they could charge another 2 million a day to supply the cold pills you need to break down to make it.

Hahaha on one side you have everyone complaining when a LE building is too expensive and on the other side its Garbage and not worth anything.

In the end yes its garbage but its also a VERY easy upgrade. Think of this as an opportunity to donate to your faction while still getting a lvl 10 LE building (and all the units with it)

Don't get me wrong i really hope we see something crazy one day like a LE building costing 1 Billion Dollars (although that would probably be easier to purchase than a Anniversary Center from last year with everyones IPH probably going up X10 since that came out...

Speaking of Anniversary i hope we get something cool this year.

Yup remember the funzio days when during V-Day we had a LE Themed Set? I don't remember all of them but there was a Chocolate Submarine hahaha.

There was also another Set for Saint Patricks Day

Both occured in 2012

Not in the forums. Got this info from the Toolkit for MW app. It's in the latest dataset. If I get around to it I'll post the costs and payouts here later on when I have access to my phone.

Sorry for the mix-up Mr. Horse (love that name btw).

Let me remind you again, Mr. Thief. Units were Agent of Love, Chocolate Submarine, Love Bomber and Cupid's Nuclear Arrow. On St. Patrick's Day we had IRA Fighter/Irish Fighter, Shamrock Tank, Green Dragonfly and a boat I can't come by..

Oh and at New Year we had Stretch Humvee, Party Dirigible and Crazy Reveller (which game art is maybe best there is, haha. :D).

cheap building plus long time to upgrade it is great to get units , if you are more interested in the iph than units upgrade some good return le buildings to get your iph up .

Hahahaha! Now that's too much like the real Mexico! Maybe they are thinking of doing invasion Texas or California and are saving the meth lab idea for one of those! Besides, everyone knows that mexi-meth is garbage! hahaha

The building is actually more expensive but due to the peso exchange rate we got a good price however we are getting the peso exchange payout. Lol

LOL except for the excellent return, that's basically what this is. I mean is Mexico know some other type of "mad scientist"? haha nope. The new building is a drug lab.

I'm thinking at least with it being so cheap, the upgrades will be fairly cheap, so I'm hoping to get this to lvl 10 by the end of the 34 days

Sorry, but this building is exactly what LLPs need. You all that had the IPH up when these buildings all started last year have been able to keep up with the prices and keep buying them. The LLPs that have joined since dont have the income to buy the Arc or any of the other latest buildings cause they are too expensive for them. The game needs this mix of cheaper buildings every once in a while to give other players a chance to build in more money production.

Just my preference. to each their own but 18 hr builds are no where near as good as 24hr builds.. u can never have it synched up with the other builds..i have all mine set to collect at same time when i know im gonna be on so my 24 and 48s never just sit there..i made the mistake of buying the water plant and lvl it up to lvl 8 and it was always getting raided bc it never stays on the same schedule..i will buy this one and lvl it up to 10 then sale it and then upgrade my tatra to lvl 5 for a nice payout

I dont see why we are all moaning about this building. If you think about it its better than a jinai and its gives you units, yes some of the standard buildings are a lot better but come to think of it this is probably my favorite building in the game after the absolute towers and the monster le buildings before the battle of china because its different.

Prior to this release all I read about the LE buildings was... they are too expensive and out of reach of the average player. Now that this "cheap" one is out, still no one is happy. Sounds to me like everyone wants a silver spoon in their mouth. If you like it build it, if not don't, otherwise bite your tongue and go collect your money.
