buttheadsmate Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 I was just thinking, that you could put up instead of an enormous and generous first price - including 5 2-packs, if I'm counting right! - more winners. Like first winner is allowed to choose two packs of those, second place is allowed to pick one of the remaining, third gets the one that's left behind. Just, you know, guessing and, well, um, hehe On a seperate note, who am I to suggest anything and the contestmaster is always right... (I guess, if it comes to shipping, everybody would help you out with a little money.) I thought about giving 2nd & 3rd prizes & it may happen without diminishing the First Prize but I decided that the 'Scarlet Witch' pack would probably be regarded as the booby-prize. The amount of entries will effect the possibility of other prizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBT! Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Could I suggest holding off until next week? There is def a buzz going on with the Annoucement contest and it seems silly to have two things running at once and then nothing next week? T.

I see your point Timbo ,I guess a small delay won't hurt. So here's the first question......... 'When will the Avengers#1 Contest start?'

Twisted Two-Face Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Huh. Well, this sounds like a very jolly-good time to myself, i must say! Sorry...wanted to feel British like the others for a sec... But this really does sound like a fun contest, and i didn't buy that wave, so...(to me it wasn't worth the money. Now it is, 'cause it's free!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) It's apparently Minimates Week & I decided that I'd run a little contest of my own....Avengers #1 Contest. This coming week (we hope) brings us The Avengers #1 Box Set. This highly anticipated box-set will ,obviously, be much sought-after & includes Iron-Man,Ant-Man/Giant-Man,The Hulk & The Wasp. It doesn't include however the Mighty Thor for some 'God knows' reason It also doesn't include Captain America who as all purists know was being 'kept on ice' until 'The Mighty Thaw' ...... & Loki was the villain the Avengers had to battle first ....sadly he too is not included. First Prize in my competition will be 'Avengers' Wave 16 which includes Thor,Loki,Quicksilver,She-Hulk,Wonder Man & The Scarlet Witch which will be 'case-fresh' in their original packaging . First Prize will also include a 'freshly de-frosted ' Captain America & Absorbing Man ,Wave 5 ,2 pack. This version of Captain America is often considered 'the members' favourite' & again is minty fresh in its original packaging. Depending on the interest (or not!) in the contest further prizes may be offered with the First Prize being upgraded with an addition of Bearded Thor. There are few rules to this competition except my decision is final,all comments to be made only in the thread & I don't want PMs regarding it . I have no affiliation with any organisation & this competition is solely my idea & my responsibilty. I am not offering Avengers #1 Box-Set as a prize or anything else for sale. I will update this thread within 24 hours with the details of how to win if sufficient interest has been generated. All the best, buttheadsmate. I've got a sneaky (overwhelmingly) feeling that after the marvellous week we had last week, being bamboozled by DST ,my little quiz will pale into insignificance. I'll blame Timbo (who else :biggrin: ) for destroying the momentum of this but I have learned a few things since I joined this wonderful forum ....anything involving the words 'free' usually gets peoples interest back. I have dealt with most of the rules & I'll make a few more up as we go. Please use the thread for any banter but not questions about the questions ,PM these . If you want to spoil it by blabbing the answers ...you'll be classed as a jerk When all the questions have been asked I'll accept your answers via PMs & the winners will be announced. Please be patient for the answers /winners as next weekend is a particularly busy time for me for reasons of real-life. The prizes are as follows: First: The complete Wave 16 including both Thor versions plus Wave 5, Captain America 2 pack. Second: As above less Variant Thor Third: Std.Thor & Loki plus Captain America 2 pack Here are the first 12 questions......read them carefully Question 1. Which Marvel Minimate consists of the least parts .....other than Zombie Wasp? Question 2. Who was the first person to decline membership of the Avengers? Question 3. Historically who is the 'earliest' Avenger who has not had a Minimate incarnation? Question 4. Name 4 Marvel Minimates that have unique mouldings for their heads? Question 5. The Amazing Spider-Man issue #96 was especially relevant for what reason? Question 6. Which Marvel Minimates have non-plastic accessories? Question 7. Which Marvel kubricks do not have a current or proposed Minimate equivalent? Question 8. The Minimate version of Quicksilver joined the Avengers in which issue? Question 9. Which Marvel Minimate has the longest 'official' name? Question 10. Which Marvel Minimate has the most parts including accessories & how many? Question 11. Wave 2 Black Spidey & Venom are the same except for their heads & have the least painted parts compared to any other Marvel Minimate. True or False? Question 12. Which Marvel Minimate 2-pack contained 2 completely unique variants? So that wasn't too difficult was it ? "It ain't Cap" Brian Please remember to keep your answers to yourself for now ,wait until all questions are asked. Thankyou. There will be at least 6 further questions (probably tomorrow) & there will be plenty of time to PM the answers to them to me (not yet )but remember the time difference in the UK & the fact that I'm frequently intoxicated during most of the evening hours here Edited November 2, 2008 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Wow, some of those will be deceptively difficult to answer, I think. Is number 8 a trick question? Question 8. The Minimate version of Quicksilver joined the Avengers in which issue? I don't remember a Minimate ever coming to life, breaking the "fourth wall" and appearing in any Marvel comics, particularly to join a team I would certainly buy that issue, though. "Minimate Quicksilver, you have shown us that your pose-ability and cuteness far outweigh your size and plastic-ness. Please accept our offer of membership into the 'Mate Lakes Avengers" Edited November 2, 2008 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just browsed through your questions and I think there are some tough ones, one has to investigate a lot of time to solve these. But I bet this is going to be fun and no paleing into anything.
