Time Travel Toaster Prize Guide: Prehistoric Era, Prize 1 Mammoth Statue

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Hang onto your toasters my friends because we’re going flying through space and time!  The latest event in TSTO has us going wayyy back in time to when Dinosaurs roamed the earth, Pharaohs were building pyramids & Pirates hobbled around on their peg legs!

This Event is broken up into 3 Eras, with each Era containing part of the story.  To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act.  Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event.  For the first Era, Prehistoric, you’re tasked with collecting Fossils () to unlock each prize!

The First Prehistoric Era Prize awarded at 9,100 is the Mammoth Statue, because nothing says prehistoric like a giant Wooly Mammoth stuck to wood…

So let’s take a closer look at this first prize and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield…

Once you’ve collected 9,100 you’ll automatically be awarded the statue and you’ll see this message popup:

And you’ll have the option to place the mammoth in your Springfield or store him in your inventory for later.  Remember if you store him you’ll have to go into your inventory to retrieve him (and you won’t get Tachyon credit until you’ve placed him)

It does come with a little bit of dialogue when placed:

Bart: Look, Stampy — it’s your great-great-great grandfather.
Stampy: *LONG, LONG ELEPHANT TRUMPET*
Bart: Okay, okay, you’re a different species.  Thanks for the biology lesson. I was just making conversation.

That’s it.  Just place and move on…

And here are the quick details:

Size: 4×3
Tachyons When Placed: 486  (Remember you have to PLACE it in your Springfield to get the Tachyon credit.  You won’t get credit if you store it in your Inventory and never place it…after placed and Tachyons are paid out you can store it without consequence)
Earns: Nada for now.  Just a decoration..but who knows.  I’m sure one day EA will bring it back as a premium item and throw a bonus % on it…
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Other Info: Can be placed on the grass/pavement/beach/boardwalk/dirt/pier
Animation: None.  Non-animated decoration.

And there you have it, the details behind the Mammoth Statue, the first Prehistoric Prize!

What’s Next?

Technically the Free Land Tile is next….awarded at 16,700, but since that’s not a tangible gift for Springfield (just a free land space) the next prize we’ll cover is…

Pterodactyl Nest- Awarded at 28,100.  This will be the next prize we break down in the prize guide post.
