I so would, for that reason and because this was your 8000th post!

Ooh... Well spotted! :D
Congrats Paulbot on No. 8000. :eek:

I'd vote for any of us who wanted to enter, it's a pity Griffin hasn't taken any recent pics of his collection as I believe he'd be a damn worthy contender. ;):cool:

[JuzMel]

Oh wow, most of you just take a photo in front of your huge collections and I'm sure you're gonna get heaps of votes! :p

If any of you here join, send us the link so we can put the "Favourite" star on your pic.

I'm on it, but my account is very quickly collecting a crap load of dust due to the amount of use it gets. :p
(I'm very, very over the whole Social-Media thing :rolleyes:)

[LordCyrusOmega]

Might just have to do this.

[liegeprime]

Hmm interesting, all or most of my pic in facebook is about my collection heheheh. I might give this a try once the facebook servers load properly and give you guys a holler for votes :D

[jaydisc]

FAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I'm on to you Paulbot! Those aren't your Transfomers!!!

[Sky Shadow]

FAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I'm on to you Paulbot! Those aren't your Transfomers!!!

Yeah... they're way too tidy and not randomly strewn into plastic containers. :p

Dude that link you have is possible the seediest link I've seen to facebook :rolleyes:

[sifun]

i vote STL's Transformer room

[Bartrim]

Dude that link you have is possible the seediest link I've seen to facebook :rolleyes:

How so?:confused:

[SkyWarp91]

How so?:confused:

The link URL looks like those ones scammers put on youtube to sites full of malware and viruses. If it was www.facebook.com/yaddablahblahblah then it'd look like a safer link to go to. Considering everyone posted up a response first I then clicked on this link to check it out myself - it's a safe url. I'm just very cautious of URL's that don't have .com, .org

[Paulbot]

Um it's Facebook's link shortener, but if you don't click that's less competition for me. ;)

And nowhere never did I claim those were my Transformers :p If people want to 'assume' that, fine, whatevs, but all I said was it's a pic of me as a fan with the largest Transformer. Show me where I used the words "collection" or "mine" :D

[Sharky]

if only 99.99% of my collection wasnt packed away...

(i really should pack MP starscream away)

who wants my vote??? (hehe and whats it worth to you??)

[SkyWarp91]

I just saw the gallery as my net is capped atm. LOL no-one else enter so that the only winner is Paul, and when he wins he owes us a share because we'll vote for him!! :D:D:D

[Paulbot]

Please other people enter.

So then when I win I can laugh at you mwahaha

Seriously though enter. OzFormers needs to represent!

I don't like the pic I entered but it suited the "biggest transformer" part. :D

[Sky Shadow]

This is my one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37558794@N02/5766762520/in/pool-1650024@N25/

I don't quite get what people have to do to vote... they have to 'favourite' it on Flikr, is that right?

[k.wong23]

I think you need to upload it directly to the competition flickr, cause I can't see your entry?

The other bloke with transformer sleeves is pretty dedicated lol

[Hursticon]

How in Sam-Hell do you vote? :confused:

@k.wong23: Damn! - You're not wrong about the guy with the tats man! :eek:

[Sky Shadow]

I think because I've never used it before, I have to be vetted as a Flickr user before my photos are visible. I'll give it 24 hours then check again...

[Paulbot]

You have to be a flickr user and favourite there. It's not as straight forward as it could be. :o

[SkyWarp91]

Okay so right now about 5000 people are facebook users who are fans of Transformers Australia, and out of how many people are there that would have flickr accounts? Let alone upload photos to their flickr accounts (there's only 3 photos atm in the game). I don't see many votes happening in a game to win $5000?

[Paulbot]

I see 15 entries here
http://www.flickr.com/groups/transformers_au/

Including a couple from other members.

[bassbot]

this looks like a cool contest. joining flickr now to favourite some peoples entries and maybe enter myself.

[Sky Shadow]

Let's get OTCA into the top 10. Then if we win we can have... like... a party or something. To help us, please:

Click on the links below and log into Flickr (if you just have Facebook or Google you can go via Sign In With Facebook or Sign In With Google). Once you log in, click 'favourite' on our entries and you're done!

Wait I'm confused, that link just takes me to 3 photos (which I assume are 3 entires) I can't see any other entries?

Would Griffin enter this competition? Or Gok? I'm sure Gok bleeds energon...

[Robzy]

Awesome! I will have to favourite you guys and join too.

[Prime_217]

my entry:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/63441844@N08/5774489467/in/pool-1650024@N25/

send a vote my way if you feel inclined :D

[jaydisc]

I think you're mistaken. I thought you have do the following:

1. Upload the flickr
2. Add it to the relevant Flickr group.
3. Post a link to the photo on the Facebook Group wall page

Whichever Facebook Wall post gets the most "Likes" wins.

So to enter, you need Flickr and Facebook accounts. To vote, you just need a Facebook account.

Nope, I was wrong. The instructions are confusing. It says to enter you have to make a wall post, but to vote, you have to favorite on Flickr. Very poorly conceived and documented.

[jaydisc]

Also, some of your photos are not visible unless you are a member of the group. Paulbot's, Sky Shadow's and stormatron's are fine. The rest are not. This is going to cost you votes. Loosen the restrictions on your photo.

[Prime_217]

it can only be voted on by flickr members, so i see no way in which it would get us less votes.

[Prime_217]

i retract my previous statement. i didnt understand what you meant :P now i gotcha :)

[SkyWarp91]

Man, Hasbro can't do Facebook Pages for SH!T

[Hursticon]

AGREED! :p

[tinyJazz]

Well here's my late entry (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tinyjazzrobot/5868341355/in/pool-1650024@N25/), just about two days left to go. ;) I'd be kicking myself if I didn't enter anyway.

That's no where near my whole collection either, just what I could transform in one evening. I have to keep most of it packed up at the moment.:)

[Paulbot]

You did pretty well getting that many out on display. How long did it take?

I saved time and just posed with Griffin's collection. ;)

[tinyJazz]

Around four hours maybe? :p I wanted to set up my bigger bots first, and realised that all my ultras and leaders were only ever at the bottom of the tubs I looked through.

I haven't transformed them back yet either. EFFORT!

[bassbot]

there's some awesome pics on the comp - i looked at the terms and realised i needed a new image so here it is! http://www.flickr.com/photos/bassbot1/5872140176/

[bassbot]

and it's 3pm and the comp is finished.

[k.wong23]

The winner from this board? Surely others have a bigger collection :p

[Prime_217]

That is excellent, I'm really glad that we've had both a Runner Up and a Major Prize getter who are both members of the fandom - Really great news indeed. ;):)

[Sky Shadow]

People only needed to get 62 favourites to get $5000? Is that right? If so, that's bizarre. One could even have paid 62 people $50 each to vote and still have $1900 left!

Congrats to all the winners! :)

[griffin]

I was thinking that when I saw some entries with heaps of 'Favourites', like the one with a photo of a single Optimus and Bumblebee.... which had like 40 favourites. An easy $400 (runner up prize value).

[tinyJazz]

Congrats dude! $5000k in the bank!!

I gotta say I am jealous :p

Me too! Lol, honestly though, I'm glad it went to an ozformers member. :D well done man!

I got an email from paramount yesterday saying they've posted my prizes, so everyone who won should have heard back from them by now I guess.

No. The top ten entries were determined by the number of favourites, and then paramount Australia picks the grand prize winner from the top ten. I think the guy in the Optimus costume actually had the most favourites.:p

Thanks to the guys here that voted for me! :o:D

[Paulbot]

Damn popularity contest. Damn not having enough friends. Thanks to everyone who didn't vote for me.

Whatever. Facebook sucks anyway. I'm going back to Myspace...

:rolleyes::p

[griffin]

Maybe they could tell it wasn't your toys... :p

(I was a bit upset too, as I woulda been hounding you for a "fee". ;) )

Want a Google+ invite? :P

[mknell]

Woooo Google+ lol
Does anyone actually have an invite to it anyway

[KillinSpoon]

I'm on it haha, I was being serious :P

[Krittle]

Wow, i didnt even realise all you guys here on ozformers were the people on the Transformers Australia Facebook Page. I just randomly joined it and entered... lucky for me... alot of people owed me favours and voted :) Top Ten :) I was bringing things out of the closet that wasn't discussed in years! Like... hey dude... remember 7 years ago when I helped you with your assignment in school... yeah payback time! lol

[Prime_217]

If I live in Perth, and they posted my prizes last friday, when should I expect it to arrive?

Honestly, paramount pictures head quarters is in australia. i won a trivia prize and my postage address for mailing was literally two blocks away from their office. i got it delivered to my workplace. it took them 2 weeks. just have to be patient with them, but they are reliable. they post with TNT deliveries, so you know they pack it safely!

[Prime_217]

I got my prize pack today and to my delight, it turns out they put a leader bumblebee in. I assumed that they were going to send a deluxe as the toy mentioned in the prize pack was one with a rrp of $29.95. Does this mean that leaders are actually only worth $30 or is paramount pictures Australia the nicest company EVER!?!?

Holy cow - Congratulations man, that's awesome! :eek::D
It certainly begs the question of how much they are actually worth huh? :p

[Prime_217]

on a second note, the "wireless" charging mat that is also a prize is pretty stupid, it doesnt actually charge anything wirelessly, you have to plug a little square thing into your electronic device and then sit them both on the pad. so really it is more work than plugging a phone charger into a wall socket.

I'll take it off your hands if you want?

[Prime_217]

Even though I doubt I will ever use it, I am a sucker for movie memorabilia, so I don't think I will be getting rid of it

[WIIGII]

finally recieved my charging mat today, with a suprise, a copy of the DOTM album too! XD just waitin for the $5G now. Apparently it's gona be on a prepaid card with Transformers imprinted on it

[bassbot]

Got my pack yesterday! Yay
