so.. are any xmas prizes not complete junk?

there should be an incentive for playing an event - (like prizes that wont end up in storage)

right now there's no difference if someone just deleted Tapped Out for the month on December...their springfield would look no different

This seems exaggerated considering we've not seen phase 2; although, I do agree that their slow drip of prizes and items to buy doesn't seem like the best strategy. I get that they want some gated content to spread the event out, but there is too little to buoy players' interests (especially long-time "whales" ready to drop donuts).

One of the tunnel prizes should be Mr. Plow's Plow Truck

I think the prizes are all right. I liked getting the Toy Workshop, an extra elf house, sponsored church, and Death Frosty so far. I was little disappointed with the destroyed wheel and had hoped we would get to do the destroying. Should have been animated.

Overall pretty happy with the prizes and having an event to play.

Well, if you complete all the tunnels you get a character.

I just thank my lucky stars I was playing back in Christmas 2013, when we not only got the Christmas lights skins for most houses but also a pile of cool buildings like Costington's, Claus Co., the skating rink, Springfield Mall, the Helter Shelter, the Nog Bar, etc. And all for free. IMO, that was the last truly fantastic event TSTO had in that you could win a ton of great stuff you'd want to keep in your town all year and you didn't have to pay money for it. After that, I think they decided they needed to dribble decent prizes out in order to keep new content in line for at least a few more years, plus they decided they wanted to make more money by making so many things premium.

Yeah, I'm glad I got all that stuff for free too. My friend who just started playing a few months ago has had to buy most of that stuff with donuts. Hehe sucker!

it's the prize for tunnel 14, with Christmas Skinner House and Festive Hot Drink Stand.
If you have Christmas Skinner House you get Plow King's Truck. If you got both you get Festive Hot Drink Stand

All I get from the tunnel is xmas skins for houses,despite not having the other items. I woud rather have items rather than skins that after xmas are useless.

I wanted d the broken wheel ,but just got another skin,I really want the plow but I am sure ,I will get skinner xmas house skin.

I actually think we have nothing to complain about. Sure, some prizes I already have from last year (nutcracker, candy cane, bell decoration) but overall I'm thrilled to be getting so much stuff that I don't have to spend do the for. All decorations will be shown proudly in my town all year round.
