If I win I’m gonna be so happy
I live in flipping America
This is so flipping unfair I mean I just started collecting and I want to be able to expand my collection
Well, fortunately for you, MEGA Brands runs lots of contests for those in America! Good luck!
It doesn’t look like many people have entered, got a pretty big chance of winning
i just join
We’ve actually gotten an impressive number of entrants, May. Since it is done via email, you can’t see how many.
looks like there are about 200 people who have entered,..
Do we get a confirmation email to confirm our entry has been received?
No. No confirmation emails are sent.
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I REALLY WANT TO WIN AS THEY ONLY DO MOST CONTESTS IN AMERICA!!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!
Oooooooh I do hope I win, but how do we know if we have won, do we get an email saying it’s on the way
The winner will be notified via email.
I’m going to win!
i’m in Australia we’r in the same DVD region, and a nation of the commonwealth…can i please please please enter the comp. i will pay any P&H cost, plus there is no comps. ever for us or New Zealand. please be fair and reasonable enough to consider letting us enter. thanx guys love you’r work
I’m sorry. As stated, the contest is only open to residents of the European Union.
i just entered maybe win hope i do good luck every one
Fair enough then, will there ever be any comps, for aussies? It seems like we always get left out :’( (sheds a small tear)
thanx 4 the responce as well
also i a pink hayabusa today and it had no head, what should i do? should i phone megabrands?
Well, we won’t be doing any here. It is a simple matter of logistics. MEGA Brands UK is located in the EU as I am, so for the contests that I run in cooperation with them it will only be in Europe – specifically EU countries.
While they provide the (great) prizes, I provide the shipping – and anything outside of the EU is very, very expensive.
I suspect (while I cannot know for certain) that they may not consider Australia to be a major market as compared to either the US or Europe, and thus have nothing to gain from a financial standpoint by running a contest in that area.
I do know how you feel, though. We don’t even have MB Halo on shelves here for a variety of legal reasons (having to do with Lego), so the only way I can get their stuff is by importing it myself. So, in that respect consider yourself lucky.
I promise, though – if there is any chance we can do such a giveaway we will indeed do so.
well if theres any certan items you’r looking for i would be glad to hunt around my local toy shops for you..
exept for the battle scenes i have’nt seen them around here yet. it takes a while for new products to get down here.
i’ll get you a RRP list if you are interested.
in regards to the comps tho, next time please consider letting ozzies enter, on the grounds that, if one of us was to win all P&H cost incurred must be covered by the winning party, within 20 days…blah blah blah, you get the idea….
….thanx again Brian for clearing things up for me,
if i just entered do i still have a chance of winning?
Like the article states, “On May 1st, 2011, we’ll pick a random entrant and notify them via email, as well as announce them here on the site.”
So even though i just sent my email can i still win? I’m a new collector and this prize pack would make the HAPPIEST PERSON EVAR!
Like the article (and the post above) states, “On May 1st, 2011, we’ll pick a random entrant and notify them via email, as well as announce them here on the site.”
Where on the site will the winner of the contest be shown, this page? or a new post on the site??
It’ll get it’s own post at some point on Sunday. If you’re following the RSS feed or via Facebook – you’ll know as soon as it happens. As will the winner.
Sweet! Thank you very much
