Anyone else planning on sprucing up their cities with some of the new player event perks today?
Does anyone know how long the perks last?

I just did - got an X-wing, Tatooine Flag and an Actor to say welcome.
I placed them roughly 3:30pm today, so I'll post here again when I know how long they last for :-)

I saw a FAQ thing from Pex about the event perks, and he said they'd last 8-12 hours. This was a day or 2 after the perks were initially announced though, so i'm sure it was subject to change.

When I talked to the Event Promoter, most of the items I looked at had an 8 hour timer on them. I bought a jukebox and put it in our city mall. I <3 the Jukebox! I also bought an NPC actor and two flags. Had a hard time finding a big enough open space to place them in the city. Everywhere I tried said I was too close to an object, to move away. 
Those things have a really BIG footprint. And our city has very wide boulevards between buildings and gardens.

I purchased a Crashed AT AT, 2 rebel banners and a Naboo Gazeebo.
I was unable to place the AT AT anywhere in my city. I tried everywhere, including inside our empty Fortress area where we can place 4 Rebel Faction Bases. This thing must have a HUGE footprint.
The Gazeebo appears to need about as much space as a medium garden or large house.
The rebel banners need about as much space as a small garden.
That is all I have figured out so far. I am hopeful that i can find a spot to place the crashed AT AT within my city limits.,

Where did you read the timer? I must not have been looking in the correct place.
Footprint /cry
I =so= wanted to put a race droid in front of our shuttle/garage. I could fit a small house there, but not the droid! Had to go all the way out of town, and =then= couldn't get it to work.
It asks for how many waypoints. OK, 7. I have the course laid out. What are the co-ordinates of this WP? =This= WP? The beginning? Or WP #1? I tried both ways. Then it locked up and wouldn't let me do anything.
When it's working... I'll try again.
But the juke boxes! /love
I set one in city hall, invited every resident I could find, ran all 30 tunes. Decided on the "Political Campaign Music" aka Naboo Celebration (music from final scene of Episode 1).

Last night I put down a neutral shuttle, an NPC Actor by the shuttle making fun of one of our more "Colorful" citizens. The Actor was his "brother" and he was begging the city to take him away from his own family because of our bad he was. LOL.
Also put a jukebox in our mall (Wow, really love this) and a crashed ATAT.
The ATAT footprint IS huge. I had to put it outside of the city to get enough room for it.

I read about the timers on the Player Event Perks page and also, if you go through all the "tell me more" conversations with the Promoter, he explains about some, but not all of how long each timer is.
As for the HUGE Footprints on these things, Pex had this to say in the Events: Plyer Event Perks thread:
This thread to is to discuss the new Player Event Perks that are in the game. Constructive ideas and comments welcome.
Keep in mind that at this point, PEP stuff will be temporary. We would like to shift some of these items into more permanent forms linked to professions in the future, but for now, they are temporary perks.
Some changes in the works:
- Reducing the minimum distance between perks/other objects. Overall making them easier to place
- Making intangible objects tangible so they can be re-deeded, moved, rotated, etc
- Making the NPC actor only speak to those who select "converse"
- Adding more decorations

We set up a lottery droid last night by the merchant tents...he lasts a week and has a 10k entry fee then at the end of the week picks a random person and delivers the money to thier bank account and disappears(at least thats the way I understood it) seems to attract the people, so far today we have more lottery entries then sales.
