I have not spent any donuts on this event but i did have a pumpkin house and Ray gun from last year.
I did already have Squeaky voice teen as well and bought Kearny during this event as he is cheap so i could get more bags and i have already got my donuts back for his purchase during this event.
I started hoarding ammo and bags a few days ago as i knew i had time to get enough ray guns with just the random ones in my town and the 90 from daily visits. if i miss calculated i could have always opened a few bags to make sure i complete it.
so this morning i got my 2 hover-copters.
Right now i have:
220 bags
15 ammo
320 eggs
i have been saving eggs from the probe phase because of the glitch and i didn't need them during this phase.
I have premium kids, the ray gun and I log on several times a day and this phase definitely took me longer than phase 1. I just started hoarding bags last night. I had twice as many bags saved by this time during the first phase. I doubt I will finish the last phase in time unless they give us more than 2 protein strands per squished alien.
I'm at level 19, but still catching up on earlier level tasks (just got Moe's bar with Moe and Marge earlier today as well) because I've been Trick-or-Treating instead of doing regular tasks (I started just long enough before THOH to get 1 castle and the Barbarian). So I only have 4 Fremium kids.
I bought 4 premium kids ( I had credit that was just sitting in iTunes from gift cards I got several years ago.) I've shot down several UFOs and gotten ray-guns as prizes. From what I've read I seem to get more than the average number of ToT bags from tapping aliens (silver and gold ones even!). And sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to use the toilet and will log in and tap all my aliens.
Just got the hovercopter with 26 hours left. I've just gotta remember to be as on top of it tomorrow and gather as many bags as I can (then not open them)!
Got the choppa last night, another silver bag this morning and probably one more before Phase 3, should have 250+ bags to open, which I'll need as I'm socked in business-wise next week.
My choice for all my Tapped Out news and troll-free friendly chat is the EA officially approved Tapped Out UK
I declare it to be impossible to collect 7100 rayguns as a free player.
Squishing, bags, neighbor visits, eggs... 3 times a day minimum check in - I'm at 5400 with 19 hours to go.
I've just got it, and the only donuts I've spent have been to get a few bullets for shooting down the UFOs. TBH I only really got about 100/150 from this anyway as the rest were bags or items for crafting.
I think I would have got this amount anyway, as I have a fair few hours left.
So yes I think it is doable as a freemium, it's just a massive grind!
My tactic:
trick or treat 3 times a day (set reminders for each 8 hour stint)
visit the town every 4 hours for squishing
Make sure you get the full 90 ray guns from neighbour visits
Save up the gremalien eggs and release them towards the end of the day when people are less likely to tap them (ok this isn't overly reliable but I've had success)

I made it with almost no help from donuts.
At the beginning of the event I purchased the raygun, but I used donuts that I have been hoarding all year. This gave me extra ammo to shoot the saucers down with, but I have been very unlucky in receiving rayguns (I have not won any at all), but very lucky with donuts, I have won back 90 (of the 150 I spent) on saucers and squishing aliens has given me 22 more - so I am at a net cost of 38 donuts thus far.
I am at level 46 and I do have a couple of premium characters, but my numbers see low compared to many of my friends....
Still need about 850 rayguns to get the prize, so I'm tapping everything I can but not sure I will reach the goal. Might need to use a few donuts tonight.
After coming on constantly every day I finished phase 2 yesterday, it was a little harder then phase one since you only got 2 ray guns instead of 3 (like with the probes) but any who it's done and with out a single doughnut being spent.
Hopefully for phase 3 we don't just get one of those things from each rigilian because then theirs probably no way. :?
