Paulbot's 12 Days of Xmas Giveaway

[Paulbot]

When you complete the 2013 Ozformers Awards Survey (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=17579) you can nominate to go into a draw for these freebie giveaways.

You can go into the draw for as many items as you like, but can only win once. I'll be drawing each item in turn staring Australia Day 2014 and you can turn down if you win (but will then be ineligible for future draws).

The Transformers are free, but if you can't collect from me in Melbourne CBD you'll have to pay postage. Postage amounts are listed and cover anywhere within Australia.

Items come with what you see in the pics as noted. I've got to still round up some extra keys and instructions if I can, but only guarantee what's shown below.

Day 1: A couple of motorcycle babes are on the loose and someone's called the boys in blue!

Get deluxe Recon Barricade from the 2007 Movie line (with Blue Frenzy), and deluxes Arcee and Chromia from the ROTF line. All accessories included (bike stands, Chromia's missile). Instructions included as well. $10 postage anywhere in Aus.

Please post a message here, if you'd like this set.

[Mythirax]

I love, and am missing those, but I'm not going to bite on this one :D What happens if no one bites in jumping at them?

[WeallscreamforStarscream]

i guess they're yours :D

[Paulbot]

Paulbot need new strategy.

Interest has been underwhelming. I thought there'd be a bit more interest, since the chance of getting anything increased the more times you played. But I guess people were just going to wait and see if the "next thing" was better. But honestly, three deluxes is possibly the best there was going be on offer. I guess I need to show everything and then... I don't know? I wanted people to be able to have some choice in what they were getting rather than it being a lucky dip.

I'm going to have to think this some more.

Don't be downhearted mate, it's still a very cool and very generous idea you've got going. It may be as you said, people are thinking of waiting to see if there is something they want more since you can only win once. Don't be discouraged, things will pick up :)

[M-bot]

I think I'm in he same boat as some others, don't want to go too hard too soon, even though I'm tempted with these 3. Perhaps a solution is to have 'unclaimed' ones carry over and able to be claimed by winners of a later day?

I think this comp is a cool idea, from a very generous guy.:D

[WeallscreamforStarscream]

I reckon drum up the nominees first and THEN reveal whats up for grabs! Noms can't back out if they get picked!!

[Golden Phoenix]

You could do what they do with the Lotto and have them roll over into the next one

[Deonasis]

Just have a further draw/s at the end for unclaimed goods (entry is open to all again). People can jump in now or know they will probably have more competition later.

[kaiden]

only saw this now... recovering from xmas... mmm ham...

[Trent]

I actually thought 3 deluxes was an awesome deal. I just don't collect movie TFs otherwise I would have been all over them like a cheap suit!!

[MayzaPrime]

I already have them otherwise I would have put my name down for them :D

sry mate been busy with work dont get much time to look at ozformers atm.

[Paulbot]

Is all good. Still kicking around ideas for the reboot.

It's funny, I want to be generous and give away TFs but don't want to pay postage. I guess it's because to give away TFs I'm not spending anything (although losing assets, the money was long ago spent) while paying for shipping sees me spending more money right now. So maybe it's not that generous after all?

Still seems pretty generous to me

[Mythirax]

The postage doesn't phase me :D

[Starscream77]

I think you are being very generous

I think it being the silly season many may have missed this thread and also like others have stated I think some will wait to see what else may come up

I think it's a very generous concept. The movie bikes don't appeal to me. 10 bucks shipping anywhere in Australia is cheap. Bring on the next item I say. :cool:

Ok, I think I've got a solution that works, a combination of suggestions from others. Thanks for the comments/responses.

I'll reveal all 12 lots tomorrow preceding voting for the 2013 Ozformer Awards.

If you complete the awards survey, you'll find a question asking which (if any) of the lots you'd like. Tick as many as you like, no limit, all or none whatever you'd like. This puts you in the draw.

When voting is done mid Jan I'll draw (based on how people nominated) for the first item, and if your name comes up you'll win (and can pass if you've changed mind by then) and I'll move on the next one. So it will be steadily revealed, just a little later than Xmas.

I think this should work. If any items get no takers... Well I'll cross that spacebridge when it comes to it.

[Ace]

Good solve mate!

[Mythirax]

*Does a little dance* :D:D

[Jinto]

Super generous of you. :)

[Trent]

Sounds good :)

Sounds like a plan!

Hear-hear! :cool:

Great solution Paulbot!

[Paulbot]

First post updated with the 12 lots. Remember to mark in your voting forms which (if any!) you'd like a chance to win.

Thanks for completing this survey.

That was good fun, and the transformer lots you put up are fantastic. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into this.

If you're name has been drawn, and you decide you don't actually want the item anymore, that's fine - I'll just redraw.

For the interstaters, there's a postage cost as noted. For the locals, you can collect in person. (I'm going to start a thread about a meet up too)

I'll PM you over the next few days to give payment details and to get your postal address.

[VERT]

Cool and thanks. Will wait for the PM :D

[Mythirax]

Woooooooooooooo, thanks paulbot!!!

[MayzaPrime]

Sweet!!!!! PM inbound :D

[millhouse]
