Hey there Hoppereenos!
Issue 3 is now out and in full swing. For those of you that have already collected your 55,000 Pie Bombs and have now moved on to collecting 61,500 Freeze Rays… here is a Calendar that should help you out.
As per usual, I will be starting the Calendar one day AFTER Issue 3 release so you can factor in time to get to the complete unlock of the new Issue.
Here we go…
The 3 Issues are going to overlap one another depending on where YOU are in the game.
Now for some insight. This Calendar is created by utilizing the date the new Issue launches. If you are behind and still collecting the previous issue items (Carbon Rods/Pie Bombs), you won’t match up the Calendar. No worries… I was in my game 10 minutes and already had 2000 Freeze Rays. They will be simple to collect if you just spend a lil time in your game and your neighbors daily. This is 61,500 divided by 13 days.
BREAKDOWN OF PRIZES
Here are the Prizes you can win for Issue 3 and the amount of Freeze Rays you will need to unlock them.
Issue 3 Prizes Requiring Freeze Ray Guns
Don’t stop collecting Freeze Rays once you hit 61,500, because as in the last rounds you WILL have that extra chance at the 3 Donut Mystery Boxes. Word of caution on this one, if you are NOT in your town when you hit the bonus, any additional Freeze Rays collected may not count towards the new mark. So be careful. If you are close, you may want to go back to your Springfield just before you hit it. 
For every Additional 6000 Freeze Rays you collect, you will get the chance at tapping on one of 3 Mystery Boxes with 1, 2, or 3 Donuts inside. 
If you miss your chance the first time or even second, you can retry for $150,000. So make sure you have some cash set aside if you want to buy your donuts. (I intentionally did NOT use my trick on this one so you can see how much it costs to try again. The 3 donuts were in the center box on this one without the trick.)
Now… the shortcut trick I use for these and the Level Up Bonus boxes you can try in your games. This is completely up to YOU to try it. I seem to get 3 donuts pretty much every time on the first box with it. Just press and hold down on the box on the far right. Do not let go, keep pressing down. Watch the lights. They will cycle through around, back and forth, and flashing. Once they cycle all the way through one time, let go. (Usually as the lights are cycling to meet up at the top.) It is how I have usually avoided paying any extra cash for my 3 Donuts.
There you have it. An Issue 3 Calendar taking you to the end of the 3 Issues and that much closer to the Secretive Issue 4. Again, do not worry… you CAN keep collecting the Issue Currency until you reach the next goal. So continue collecting Freeze Rays until you hit 61,500 and it will switch over for you.
What do you think of the new Issue 3 so far? How fast is your Collection of Freeze Rays going? How many do you have? Looking forward to a specific prize? Let us know.
