July 2017 - New Beauty and the Beast Tsums Are Coming Our Way!!

Hello again!! As you can tell from the title, the new Beauty and the Beast tsums are coming our way!!

Major Tidbit: If you wish to get two skill tickets guaranteed via the Two pickup capsules, please make sure to have at least 1,050,000 coins ready for this month.

Here is the timeline (Big Thank You to Mayorse for the leaks!!): (mined pictures found here)

• June 29th - You can now connect your Tsum Tsum game to Facebook. 

PLEASE NOTE: Players be aware that if you are logged into Line, when you change to a new device and install the Tsum Tsum app on your new device, you need to FIRST log into LINE to restore your game data. If you log into Facebook first, it will think you're a NEW player and you will not be able to play with your old game data!!

• July 1st to Aug 4th - New Rotation List of Premium Box Tsums 

• July 1st to July 4th - Lucky Time for new Romance Belle and Romance Beast !!!

Tidbit: Romance Belle - her skill summons Romance Beast in a circle, sort of like Daisy, and as her skill level gets higher, the circle grows bigger and more Romance Beasts gets summoned. Romance Beast can be connected to Romance Belle to make long chains. (VIDEO)

Tidbit: Romance Beast - his skill freezes the edges of the game in a U-shape as well as freeze the center of the game. As his skill level gets higher, the larger the area that he freezes when his ability is activated. (VIDEO)

Tidbit: Both Romance Belle and Romance Beast are limited time tsums that are only available until July 31st!!

• July 5th to July 23rd - Be Our Guest event!!

Tidbit: Mrs. Potts is the event reward tsum! She summons Chip tsums which can be linked up with Mrs. Potts tsums. (VIDEO)

Tidbit: There is a Challenge card for Be Our Guest event and it looks like they've included a Mission Assist feature. If you tap on the (!) button on the extra card missions, you can use rubies to make the missions on the difficult card easier to complete and thus help you get the Gold pin! It's a nice touch to help all the new players of the game. 

Tidbit: To clear the missions more easily, use Romance Belle, Romance Beast, Gaston, or Lumiere! In one of the mined pictures, it looks like the higher you skill up the new Beauty and the Beast tsums, the higher your character bonuses would be. Such a sneaky way of getting us to use our coins to buy more boxes.

• July 5th to July 8th - First Pickup Capsule - 15 tsums include: (450,000 coins needed)

• LILO x 1 !!!! 
• Belle x 1
• Beast x 1
• Genie x 2
• Hawaiian Stitch x 2
• Angel x 2
• Arlo x 2
• Cheshire Cat x 2
• White Rabbit x 2
• Skill Ticket to use on whichever tsum you wish to use it on!

Tidbit: YES, get this Pickup Capsule for the mere fact that Lilo is finally available to us in the International Tsum Tsum game!!

Tidbit: Lilo is an interesting tsum. When activated, her ability is to clear one type of tsum on the screen e.g. all the Sebastians, all the Scrumps etc. It's like half of Pinocchio's ability or just like the last bonus roulette after the game ends but your skill meter is full. Just like Pinocchio, as you skill her up, the less number of Lilo tsums cleared is required to fill up her skill meter! Great news: You only need 2 more Lilos or 2 Skill Tickets to max her at Skill 3! (VIDEO) 

• July 10th to July 13th - Lucky Time for Lumiere and Gaston!! They are not time limited tsums and will be available after the event is over. 

Tidbit: Lumiere - his skill is to activate Fever Mode and then clear random tsums like Goofy! His animation is very beautiful and pays tribute to the classic Disney Beauty and the Beast movie. (VIDEO)

Tidbit: Gaston - his ability clears a horizontal line of tsums as well as make a lot of Gaston tsums fall down for a short time afterwards. As you skill his ability up, his appearance rate increases by 10% per full skill level. (VIDEO) Please note that during when his ability is activated and lots of Gastons are falling down, any Gastons cleared during this short period of time will not count towards filling up his skill meter. 

Tidbit: Gaston is a very good coin farmer as it turns out as you skill him up closer to Skill 6! Here's a video comparing Little Oyster and Gaston by Seiji, with no boosts used at all: VIDEO . The coins in the end earned by both is quite close but Gaston still beats Little Oyster, who has been reigning on the coin farming list with no boosts required. There have been comparisons between Beast and Gaston, and ultimately it depends on how fast and how well you can use Gaston's ability. Beast is a burst tsum so doesn't require a lot of effort nor skill to get a lot of coins, whereas for Gaston's ability, you do need to be quick to be able to activate his skill frequently enough to farm the vast amount of coins indicated in the video. 

Tidbit: I manage to find a video that someone made comparing Jedi Luke, Beast, and Gaston and WOW, the differences are quite noticeable: VIDEO. The possibilities and potential are still quite overwhelmingly better with Jedi Luke than the other three for both coins and score, hands down. Furthermore the game play for Jedi Luke is much longer than it is for the other two games.

• July 14th to July 17th - Second Pickup Capsule - 20 tsums include: (600,000 coins needed)

• Gaston x 1
• Surprise Elsa x 1
• Birthday Anna x 1
• Bambi x 2
• Miss Bunny x 2
• Thumper x 2
• Rapunzel x 2
• Ariel x 2
• Flounder x 1
• Sebastian x 1
• Pete x 1
• Max x 2
• Clarice x 2
• Skill Ticket to use on whichever tsum you wish to use it on!

• July 18th to July 20th - Lucky Time for Romance Belle, Romance Beast, Lumiere, and Gaston!

• Beauty and the Beast Score Challenge (until Thurs, July 27th)!!! At this time, we don't know the exact date that the score challenge will start on. Speculation may be that it will start on Mon, July 24th and run until Thurs, July 27th.; however, I checked last year's Mickey Score Challenge, and we had about 6 days to do the challenge. So my estimate will be around July 21st in this case for when the score challenge will start for the Beauty and the Beast tsums. Once more clarity or updates have been revealed, I will update this part of the blog post.
  
  UPDATE - JULY 23: Since the Be Our Guest event is ending on Sun, July 23rd, and the promotion for the Score Challenge is labeled as a "new event coming soon", it looks like it will indeed start on Mon, July 24th. So get ready for the Score Challenge coming up right around the corner!! Good luck everyone!! 

The idea of the Beauty and the Beast Score challenge is to compete against players from around the world using the Beauty and the Beast tsums, and get a Pin as a reward based on the rank you achieve at the end of the challenge. From the mined pictures, it would look like they're doing this challenge a bit differently than last year. This year, there will be 3 groupings of tsums, thus three different groups you can try and get a high score in: Mrs. Potts & Lumiere; Beast, Gaston, & Romance Beast; Belle & Romance Belle. 

From my understanding, the ranges for each rank (aka rank boundaries) are updated hourly based on the scores achieved by players around the world. Your rank is based on your score and thus would determine which range and rank you would fall under. 

Tidbit: Final Rank boundaries are set 6 hours before the event closes, which is Thurs, July 27th at 11:59PM PDT, meaning that the boundaries will be solidified at 6:00 PM on Thurs, July 27th. In my opinion, I would only start trying for a high score at this time when the rank boundaries have solidified so that it doesn't become too frustrating trying to get the S Gold Pin. In the meantime, I think you can pause the score challenge and try to level up your Beauty and the Beast tsums that you wish to use for the score challenge. Since this is new to me, I'm not sure if this is true nor do I know for certain that you can pause the score challenge once you started. 

• July 25th to July 27th - LAST Lucky Time for Romance Belle, Romance Beast, Lumiere and Gaston!!

It is definitely another expensive month, full of really neat and beautiful tsums!! Keep farming those coins and good luck with the Lucky Times and Score Challenge!!

Happy Tsuming!! =)

"Get some info about score challenge.

So it looks like only the S, A, and B ranks get pins whereas all ranks get a specific number of bonus coins associated with the reward. I guess we shall see if it's the same for the international game as well.

Thank you so much again JC for your find. This is tremendously helpful.

Sorry for the delayed updates and responses. It has been a hectic past couple of months at home, and it will be a very busy next few weeks for me so please bear with my delayed responses. I will try to update whenever I can as well as let you all know when I find out new information for August.

Thank you in advance to everyone's help in this community for helping each other and answering questions where you can. It is so inspiring to catch up and read all your helpful tidbits. Thank you!!!

Good Luck and Happy Tsuming!!
