Easiest Contest Ever
« on: August 18, 2009, 10:10:42 am »
Things are starting to ramp up for the 2009 BAKUC Semi-Finals, but I don't have anything I can really talk about there yet. So... In the meantime, I thought I'd throw a couple of freebies out there...

HobbyWave (our North American sponsor of the BAKUC Semi-Final) has been kind enough to throw a couple of Bandai "Gundam Decal" packs at me. Specifically, the decal sets for the 1/100 GN-006 Cherudim and 1/100 GN-007 Arios. I'd like to pass them on to you good people.



The rules are deceptively simple: All you need to do is reply to this thread with either an embedded image or a link to an image of your own 1/100 Cherudim or Arios. I want to see that you actually have one of these models in your possession at this moment. Be the first one to post a picture of your model as a reply in this thread, and I'll send you the corresponding decal pack. Of course, you'll have to PM me a mailing address. And, since this is something I can stick in an envelope--and not a box--this contest is open to anyone with a mailing address. Anywhere in the world.

The Fine Print: I'll try to keep this simple. You can only win one of the decal packs--not both. So, if you've got both models, decide which one you'd rather have the Bandai waterslide decals for. This offer is open to any member of the BAKUC forums who was registered before August 18th. You must post a picture taken with a camera of your model box. You can't just link to a picture on some retailer site of the scanned-in box top. The picture you post can be of your model box, your model in-progress, or even a completed model that you'll go back and add the decals to. Regardless, I hope we'll see your model--with the decals--in the BAKUC Gallery at some point.

Again--this is open to any registered user--anywhere in the world. Just prove you've got the goods.  ;)

It sure is! The Cheridum decals are yours! Send me a Private Message with your mailing address. I may not reply today, but I'll confirm receiving your address tomorrow.

Who's next? I've still got the Arios decals here.

Oh this is cool.  Please let me know if the picture is adequate.  I don't have my box anymore as I had a stack that was accruing dust, so I recycled a lot.  I have the instructions though if needed.  I thought the background might help.  hehe.  My monitor sucks.  Let me know if this picture counts though!

Good enough--you're a winner! And it looks like I have both your addresses via PM, so I'll be sending those decals out in the next day or so.

Thanks for playing! I'll try to do a contest like this again sometime soon!

Hey, guys - I had a bit of a family emergency. The decals are in my car--in addressed envelopes--ready to be mailed. It looks like I'll get them in the mail on Monday. Sorry for the delay. Be sure to let me know either here or via PM if you don't get them by the end of next week or so (like, by August 29th).

Take your time mate. Not like we have a right to complain, it's free. I appreciate the contest in the first place.

Both of 'em went in the mail today. And I would hope that both will make it to you by the end of the week. Let me know (by posting here) when they've arrived!  :D

I'm glad both sets of decals made it safe and sound. Did the envelopes work okay? I tried to "protect" the decals, but want to make sure they made the trip safely--in case I do something similar in the future.

Oh, and I fully expect to see those decals on your builds now!  ;)

Glad to hear it. Stay tuned--we're going to be announcing another contest very soon. It won't be nearly as easy, but the prizes will be much better.  :D
