Trekker 42 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I figure someone would have posted here if that were the case. The winners may not find out until they receive something mysterious in the mail. Well, since I decoded the message relatively soon after it posted, responded and got some DST love in today's mail, I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that I'm one of the winners. For me, the prize consisted of: White AA Blank White DST Blank Zombie Luke Cage Zombie Hulk SDCC08 BSG Red Dress Six NY Toyfair 09 Unification Spock and... drum roll Nightcrawler. A big thanks to our fine friends at DST who send us cool stuff even though we foiled their evil code scheme. AHHHH! Unification Spock! LUCKY!!!!

Bob Harris Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Those are great prizes, congratulations folks! DST seems to be pretty generous to add two exclusives in that gift box as well as the wanted Nightcrawler! Great thing! If I were DST, I'd also send elhonez something special although he might not be one of those top 10 decypters responding on that last code in time. I mean, where would we all be, if elhonez didn't crack that code at first sight.* ____ * Yes, that was a subtile hint, DST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Ol' USPS standard post - manilla padded 5" x 7" envelope - post date 5/14 Why thank you for the info. Now i need to sit by my mailbox tomorrow for a minimates-galore package. Looks like i'll be skipping school!! Hmm, so the only major difference is Zombie Hulk for Spidey. Here's hoping for Spidey; i wanna wipe off that paint and make a generic zombie out of him. The one problem i see here, though, is that while we try to hunt down who is getting prizepacks, we don't know for certain if the ten belong to this board. I mean, with us and the Headquarters posting the codes in updates, who knows who could have been keeping track. Willing to bet that we're the only ones who visit regularly though, so that's a glimmer of hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I wonder when Bigbadtoystore is putting wave 30,and 29 on pre order. Oh please. BBTS has waves 31-400 on pre-order. They also have wave -1 due out this month. and last month. and the month before that. And people wonder why i think BBTS isn't reliable.

karamazov80 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Honestly, I don't completely understand your post, TTF. As for when these will pop up there, hard to say. In the past, they have "spoiled" the news of possible releases and the figures involved by posting pre-orders before anyone else, but they do seem to be dragging their feet with this one. It seems as if they post pre-orders right after something was announced, even before they have placed orders with their distributors (I've seen Hot Toys releases pop up a few hours after they were first announced). I guess this is what TTF is talking about, in that they sometimes allow for pre-orders before they actually know how much they will have to pay and how many they will be able to order for a specific thing. As such, they sometimes have to remove listings or change prices around. Despite all that, though, BBTS and Sideshow Collectibles are the only two sites I will pre-order from--both are highly well-known/reliable, and neither charges until something comes "in stock." In that sense, BBTS is a heck of a lot more "reliable" than a number of other places I have ordered (or tried to order) from. You order something from them, you pay when they have it, and you get it from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also a big fan of BBTS 'cause you can easily cancel pre-orders bu logging into your account instead of emailing customer service... I know there's a few times my LCS has surprised me with something that I bought and then easily cancelled the order and avoided shipping fees.
