TBT! Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 NOTHING TO SEE HERE PEOPLE MOVE ALONG...... Seriously... it's war and the gloves are off on this one... I NEED TO WIN THIS CONTEST! T. Quote
jcastick Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Uummm.....you guys can have this one. Quote
TM2 Dinobot Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Uummm.....you guys can have this one. ^ IAWTP ^ Quote
Shanester Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 A production sample is a test run of an item assembled by the factory to be approved by the client. A model that the factory will base the production run on, not a prototype. No need to purchase anything. Quote
jcastick Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 " ^ IAWTP ^ " <------ Huh??? This is why people should not abbreviate on the internet..... Shanester - yeah, I know there is no purchase necessary...I just don't feel my writing skills would warrant winning a prize like that. "This item is cool." to me just doesn't cut it, which is the extent of my writing creativity ....lol Quote

I like rare pieces, but I've never been a fan of prototypes. So I'd just assume bow out and allow Timbo to have his fun. The prize just isn't worth it to me, and the journey is too much trouble on it's own. Quote
Shanester Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 I think this is the second easiest contest ever run on this site and probably one of the best prizes. IMO. Quote

Shanester Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 Someone go win this and put it in the Toys 4 Tots bin! Make sure you take a photo of it in the bin but do not divulge the location to TBT. Quote

Make sure you take a photo of it in the bin but do not divulge the location to TBT. HAHAHAHA Okay. Maybe I'm missing something. These are just test shots, correct? Not even Hard Copy prototypes? So they're essentially a step above factory rejects? Quote
Shanester Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 Okay. Maybe I'm missing something. These are just test shots, correct? Not even Hard Copy prototypes? So they're essentially a step above factory rejects? Way off. Factory rejects? They are like proofs not rejects. A test shot is a hard-copy (what else) example of what the end result will look like.

Okay. Yeah, still a serious and hardcore pass for me. I cede to the anal retentive diehard MM collectors. :biggrin: Edited November 12, 2008 by TM2 Dinobot Quote
Shanester Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 Stop emailing AFX. If you have a question, let me know. The prize is a pre-production sample, not a prototype. Quote
karamazov80 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) No offense guys, but most of you are skimping on the reviews! Maybe I'm an idiot for doing more work than I need to, but my reviews are often as long as all the others put together! Also, big props to AFX for not censoring these reviews. A couple of mine are pretty harsh, but they're still there! Edited November 12, 2008 by karamazov80 Quote
jcastick Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 To be honest, I don't think I have ever even shopped at AFX.....lol Quote
gambitron Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I'm all over this one. (sorry TBT). Quote
buttheadsmate Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 To be honest this is a one horse race isn't it ? Check out the reviews for 'Iron Man through the ages' Minimates . Quote
blacksun1520 Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 That review... Too... many... puns... My... headisgoingtoexplode! BS Quote
gambitron Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 OH YEAH! I got an e-mail today from AFX saying that I was the winner and to send them my address so they could ship the set out to me. Quote
karamazov80 Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 OH YEAH! I got an e-mail today from AFX saying that I was the winner and to send them my address so they could ship the set out to me. The set? Quote
TBT! Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Congratulations Gambitron... We shall expect pictures. T. p.s. yeah I'm kind of a little gutted I was really hoping to win this one, I posted 40+ reviews to help my odds. Quote
karamazov80 Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Congrats dude. And forget my earlier post, I thought it was for 1 Minimate, but re-reading the first post, I see that it is a whole set of production pieces. Nice score. Quote
