I'd buy Rafiki. I've never regretted buying a premium character during an event. Even though I pretty much blow my saved up gems. On the other hand, if you don't get him now, he'll probably show up in an enchanted chest somewhere down the road. But those are always risky since the reward is random. May be you should wait to hear how difficult Simba and Nala's drops are going to be. If they go the way of Timon and Pumbaa, you won't need to spend your attraction gems. And don't forget, there will probably be a Scar battle that will last days if you don't have enough characters to fight him. Soooooo..after considering all sides....live a little. It's only a gane. Have fun with it . But....if you spend your gems on Rafiki and then a 50% sale on attractions happens right after...forget I said anything!!!!!!!
