I have already obtained Firefigher and Firecracker very easily. Something tells me that I will get near to Pyrotechnic. I am predicting that I will get them all up to Millenial.

I disagree with you, the farther you go the less firecrackers show up, you will not get as far as you think you will. I do not have high expectations for this, I will just settle for whatever I get. Yes it started strong but it fizzled out very quickly.
I am a collector not a fighter, need I say more? Oh yeah....and female. ;)

More and more breeding and hatching tasks. Plus I did 2 quests. And got 3 quest fights after that. Yes... I have three quests. But waiting times are far too long. I wont waste any gems for this.

Also coming up is the Pyrex Breeding which requires Headstrong Dragon which I don’t have so I’ll need to pick him up in the Amusement Park Island (Starting 4th January). Fyi, that wasn’t from a leak or unreliable source, it says on the breeding event Island.

I only have 2 available and all my tasks are quests, breeding or hatching. The first day was good but now it is not looking promising. I have no goals for thus and I will not waste gems or rm on it.

I think perhaps Gunpowder and Krait then. Uppercut is looking unlikely.
Isn't Krait after uppercut?

Yes, but Uppercut is time-limited, with only 15h16m left as I write this. The only time-limited dragon this time around, the other limited nodes are for Gunpowder orbs/Pyrotechnic orbs. Which I'd say nobody could possibly get for free.
I did just manage to get Uppercut, for free (albeit I've got all four of my breeding locations and most of my hatchery dedicated to the island right now so there's some opportunity cost), but Gunpowder is 500 of each. How many is Pyrotechnic going to be?!?
BTW, for me it's the corks (orange) which are in limited supply. The rockets (blue) are by comparison abundant. And it seems like an awful lot of the second-line nodes are firecrackers (red) only, which makes the whatever-they-are purple cones almost pointless.

I managed to get uppercut with about an hour to spare. 500 each for gunpowder is it worth it. A real lack of what you need on the board, it can only be programmed that way, straight after uppercut loads to corks appear. Still all free so far.

I have decided that from my calculations that you need 60 extra coins in the Amusement Park to get Terrifying, I will move as usual and watch the ads. There is Maze coins there and that can help me with Terrifying.

Me too, I am on Gunpowder though I doubt I will make it through his stage by the end without shelling out for some more coins.

I'm more than halfway through Gunpowder now (248/205 to go), no gems or $$$ spent. While the requirement is shocking at first, given the length of the event it's perfectly achievable.
I'm hopeful that Krait and Millenial will be easier - given that they're not new (though I don't have them yet) that seems pretty plausible. I can't see getting Pyrotechnic without spending, since I'm sure it'll cost even more than Gunpowder, but 6 new dragons for free is pretty nice.
Combined with the Amusement Park, that could be 8 if @_TheSpaceBeing_ is right and Terrifying is in reach with ads - did those calculations include getting Headstrong/Grapple, or just going far enough for the keys? Personally I hope to get Grapple/Terrifying, but I already have Headstrong so will just go far enough to get the Grapple key with him.
Could even be 10 if I complete the collection to get Strongman and am lucky enough to land the breed for Wastelander. Though those are more likely to need some gems to speed up hatching/breeding.
All that, and I am now in the process of empowering a Heroic for the very first time! (THAT cost ~$50 in coins/gems to blitz the Weather Machine, buy Winter Sun/Moon orbs, and speed up empowering enough to get Hyperion/Uller done by race end.) Good start to the New Year as far as I'm concerned, especially since all three of the other race prizes were new to me too, and the previous Alliance Chest finally got me enough orbs for Vulcan...

@scott-clark The Cost for Terrifying with the cost to unlock him is 5,660 with the total being 5,600. We need the ads or the tournament to get him. I got lucky and I’m on my way since I really wanted Terrifying and that makes up for the expensive puzzle.

Just landed Gunpowder, and Krait is indeed 90/90. Given my progression rate through Gunpowder, I think I might be able to get Krait for free too. Millenial looks unlikely though.
Also for folks' reference, I finished the mini-collection (a) with pre-existing Pyrex/Unicorn, (b) with the Grapple egg still in storage, (c) in Puffin, (d) receiving a Strongman EGG rather the orbs stated in the event description. (c) may or may not be relevant, it was simply the first place I logged in after obtaining the Grapple egg since it was a good time to trigger my shrine.
And I've gotten enough maze coins from ads that it'll only cost me $2 to get to Terrifying too... which might just be worthwhile for the shot at Wastelander. I'm not sure though, since I assume that's a pretty low-odds breed so is unlikely to pay off without lots of gems. (I would seriously LOVE to have those odds published somewhere.)

@scott-clark still need 30 odd corks for gunpowder and have only 3 on the board. I had all the blue things ages ago
