Eurobricks Advent Calendar 2008

[Siegfried]

'tis the season for... free LEGO! The Eurobricks Advent Calendar 2008 is up now and you could be a winner! Every day three winners will be revealed; the daily main prize will shown on the calender itself, and on the list below will be the names of who won a key ring prize and another who wins a 6966 Mini Jedi Starfighter. (This is the follow up to the Mystery Raffle. If you entered in that then you're in.)

Rules

1. All winners (and just the winners) need to PM Sinner (that's me) your name and address ASAP. You should send your real name (or at least part of it) as well for correct addressing. We can't send letters to "BigBlocks69"...
   
2. Send a PM if you don't want the prize (for whatever reason) and we'll pick someone else.
   
3. There are a lot of prizes... and thus it's possible that a mistake might be made. Please don't throw M%g^ Bl*ks at us if we can't send exactly what we want.
   
4. You are allowed to do swaps with any other prize winners on any given day. The winners need to arrange this with each other via PM and then both of you need to tell me via PM ASAP. Other swaps are also allowed... but do note that if the prize holder (no names, but I hold none of the prizes) has been given the address then it's too late. Don't ask for any help in arranging one.
   

FAQ

1. 24 x 3 prizes in total. (72)
   
2. People can win one prize only.
   
3. People with complying avatars can win the main prizes, others can only win the sub prizes. (See, I wasn't just being mean! People need an avatar or othewise the calender wouldn't work....) To try to reduce the endless questions, a complying avatar is under 400x400. 100x100 is preferred, but smaller ones are acceptable as well.
   
4. The picture is just a backdrop for the calender, made from my own pieces. It's not being given away.
   
5. Only send me your address if you're a winner. I don't want 4000 PMs with addresses....
   
6. While some prizes are better than others, there is no grand prize.
   
7. The Jedi fighters are to be sent in one batch next year, the others are sent a few days after the addresses are received.

Now this is what I call a cool raffle! Awesome idea, and thanks for running this Sinner.

Bounty Hunter, it is my impression that this is the Mystery Raffle that Sinner had people signing up for last week.

Now the EB staff has really outdone itself! As Draggy said- does this have anything to do with the Mystery Raffle?

[dj2005]

Great idea.

Wow! I hope I win (even know i probably wont )

Great idea!!! I love how you kept it a secret!

[AgentRick]

What an interesting Birthday present! I can't wait to see the lucky winners!

[Lego12]

Cool! Thanks for this awesome raffle! You guys are the best!

[Svelte]

What a great idea!

Good to see your Green Grocer deboxed and put to good use, Sinner!

[Apolloo]

Oh wow thats awesome! But are the prizes going to be handed out to people who have more posts and are well known or just anyone?

[Tim Bit]

My I ask for a list of prizes?

This is going to be great. I entered in the mystery raffle so I'm in.

[samthelegoman1]

This is so exciting!

[WhiteFang]

But are the prizes going to be handed out to people who have more posts and are well known or just anyone?

The selection process is random. It's not based on the criteria of having more posts or being well known. Everyone of you have an equal chance, as long you have signed up for the earlier raffle which was conducted by Sinner. More importantly, you must also comply with the site guidelines on your avatar.

My I ask for a list of prizes?

Since this is an Eurobricks Advent Calender contest and Advent Calender should only be revealed on a daily basis and not through the advance basis. Let's not ruin the mystery and surprise. It will not be fun, if the prizes are revealed in advance.

I entered that contest. Was the statement about the Avatar directed to me? If so, why? I currently don't have one.

[hollisbrick]

Sounds awsome! Thanks for organising it!!!!

Found within the OP of the Mystery Raffle thread:

"To be eligible people need to have an avatar (it can be one of the generic ones if you want), and it must be compliant with the site guidelines on avatars."

[Matteo Kenobi]

SAY WHAA??? Wow talk about a suprise I won something, on day one! That's great thank you thank you!!

Looks like I won the 1237 Asimo Robot, I have no idea what on earth that is but hey sounds cool! I will PM Sinner ASAP, thanks a lot.

One question, the main prize is on the Calendar itself, I don't see the robot on it (I google imaged it so I know what it looks like now, it's a cool looking little bugger ) So does that mean things such as the Green Grocer and Train set or prizes or are they just for show?

Thanks again for the wondorous gift and the holiday spirit!!

Oh...guess I missed that part. Thanks dj2005.

[szww]

That is just so... unexpected !!!

I love the idea, (especially that I couldn't resist myself while getting Castle Calendar and open it at once )

big 'thank-you' for all of you involved in that project

[Skelotic]

Is it possible to win more than once? It shouldn't be personally.

[baby]

Wow, nice prizes. Luckily I'm in.

[Zepher]

Glad I signed up! Looks like great fun!

so wait a prize each day? As in 25 prizes total? Chances are good!

[Skelotic]

More due to three being given out the first day.

Oh and about 400 entrants.
