I pay the shipping for EVERYTHING. But due to funds, all participants who enter will NOT receive freebies (in the past, if you entered, I still sent goodies). I have leftovers which I WILL send out to those who probably never entered. Anyway, anyone can enter. EVEN if we’ve had beefs in the past, I throw that out and YOU can enter and maybe even WIN! What do you lose? A few minutes of your time or net searching for the correct answers.

So check it out. To win, you gotta answer correctly. THE people who answer ALL questions correctly are in a pool for THE TOP 3 PRIZES!

What are the prizes?

1st Prize. Predator. This is a TOY (not statue, not Microman, etc) that was DESIGNED by my uncle Randy Bowen. You don’t recognize that name??? Randy Bowen was THE foremost statue sculptor. In the 90s, some of you might remember the statue of the Death Dealer that was painted by Frank Frazetta. Randy Bowen did the statue. I was at his house for a Thanksgiving and watched him work his magic. At that time, he was doing the shield to attach to the knight. This Predator TOY is signed by him. He designed it and it was used by another company. This is NOT to scale with any other figure

2nd Prize. Grendel Cycle Badge. ALSO designed by Randy Bowen. This is a VERY fragile piece and signed by him. You don’t know Grendel. Think Dark Horse. Think Matt Wagner. I admit, I’ve LOOKED at the piece but never did anything with it other than NOT figure out how it fits BACK into the package! It’s pretty mint.

3rd Prize. Ok, this prize is pretty dang goofy. I am NOT going to reveal what it is. Just as I didn’t quite reveal at the time what 3rd Prize was last time. For the record, TroopsOfDoom won Prize3 and he will be receiving ( I just mailed the 14lb package today) 10 resin/clay/something Chinese Terra-Cotta-wannabe soldiers. These have been discontinued to by Daiso (where I used to work) and well, he gets the case they came in. He gets 2 cases (5 pieces each). BUT THIS 3rd PRIZE is radically different. They are incredibly geeked. And let’s face it… The significant other MIGHT like them better than you. BUT hell, maybe you can find a use for them in the pictures!!!

The contest ends 9/26/08. That should give you all plenty of time to figure out the answers. AND maybe go and rent a video or two. “Yeah baby, I wanna do this contest but I really need to watch Ong Bak the Thai Warrior cuz… Well, there are questions about it and it’s supposed to be a really good movie…”

PM me the answers and PLEASE include screen name, real name and shipping address.

Onto the body count!!!

If you read the original contest stuff AND the later posts, you would've seen everyone that enters gets a lil prize. NOT just the winners.

I know I sent a package out to you. If you want another, you can pm me your addy again. I don't keep the addresses from contest to contest (as you can tell because I'm always asking for them). IF you want to decline the prize to keep your address private, that's fine too. I'm sorry that it never showed up. I sent everyone's at the same time and got reports from most of the people that they received it.

I personally don't see the issue as a joke. However, I would've preferred that people read the 'fine print' in the statements in the contest. Everything that has been discussed was already stated.
