Christmas 2019 (Abe’s in Toyland): Turbo Tappin’ Week 3, Abe the Toy Solider

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Christmas still continues in our pocket-sized towns!  By now the snow is starting to get old, and the residents of Springfield are starting to debating when to take their Christmas trees to the curb.  But alas…the story continues in TSTO…

As I’ve said before, Abe’s in Toyland follows the same event structure of the Multi-Events before it.  This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!

For Act 3 we’re tasked with collecting Toy Soliders!  Each part of the story will unlock another prize themed for the first part of the story.  So let’s take a look at the details behind Week 3 and the Turbo Tappin’ Version for Abe the Toy Solider…

Christmas 2019 (Abe’s In Toyland) Week 3 Is Live!

Full disclosure…it’s Christmas. (Merry Christmas!)  I’m not here.  I’ve prewritten this post and scheduled it in advance to go live when Act 3 hits.  So all of the information in this post is based off of the information EA has provided us in our event packets.  I have not verified in-game.  So if something is incorrect, I apologize and i’ll fix it tomorrow…maybe. If not tomorrow, then Friday. Today, I’m spending the day with my family…as you should be too! 🙂

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s officially 10am here on the East Coast, and that means Week 3 of Abe’s in Toyland is live in Springfield!

Things kick off for week 3 with some more dialogue between Grampa and Death…

Death: Look, you need to hurry up these stories. You’re supposed to be chewing coffin dirt by dawn.
Grampa: Don’t get your ghoul underpants in a ghost knot, I’m getting there. World War Two was over. I had an honorable discharge from the Army, and a dishonorable discharge from a skin condition I picked up in Paris. The economy was booming, and every veteran was dating a nurse he’d kissed on V-J day. And yet America was threatened by internal Communist subversives from the USSR. We were headed towards a Christmas nightmare!

This triggers the week 3 questline, Abe the Toy Solider, and is followed by 4hr task for Grampa, as well as a task to collect Week 3 Currency (50).  Abe the Toy Solider is the questline that will take you through unlocking all of the Week 3 prizes.

Let’s take a look at what else is in store during week 3…

Christmas 2019 (Abe’s in Toyland): Full Dialogue Week 2, A Foggy London Christmas

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Christmas continues in our pocket-sized towns!  Yes, the snow is still fresh on the streets of Springfield, as the residents do their best to win out on the holiday hustle and bustle!

Abe’s In Toyland Week 3 Starts Tomorrow

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow morning, Wednesday, December 25th, is Christmas!!!!  Oh and also Week 3 (Act 2) of Abe’s in Toyland will be starting (what lousy timing on EA’s part…).  The official start time is 10am ET.

While the Weeks 1 and 2 questlines won’t be going anywhere, so if you haven’t finished the prizes you’ll have a chance to complete it even after Week 2 starts, all of the Week 2 Premium items will be leaving the store.

So if you planned to purchase Abbey do so before she leaves our games tomorrow morning. (SIB Linked)

Also, here’s some inside info to help you prepare for Week 3 to start…

During Week 3 we’ll travel back in time to when Abe was a Toy Solider model!    Of course, you’ll have to follow along with the dialogue to find out what happens, but the same characters used for Act 2 currency tasks should be used for the Act 3 currency tasks, with the exception Abbey.  Again, the Abbey will NOT earn currency for Week 3.  So we’re looking at:
Homer
Lisa
Bart
Milhouse
Ned
Grampa
Marge
Moe
New Premium Character for Act 3

You’ll also need Grampa free for the initial questline objective…

There will also be one new premium costume combo introduced during week 3, and that costume will be able to help with the currency earning for week 3.  (150 donuts will be needed if you’d like to purchase the combo)

And that’s it my friends!  Be prepared for Week 3 to start up tomorrow morning!

Thoughts on week 2?  Ready for week 2?  Excited to see where the story goes?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
