So far I have traded and bought from a lot of you guys, and it has really helped my collection improve. BUT I am still hungry for more!

So I have decided to create a trade thread with a built in contest for added incentive.

 

So here goes my convoluted & complicated contest rules.

 

1)  The trades on my want list below have points next to them.

 

2) Whenever I trade for (or purchase) one of these through LRG, I will tally the points in this thread.

 

3) When I hit 75 points tallied - the PRIZE will be given RANDOMLY for free to one of the people I traded with or bought from. For every figure you get to me from my CONTEST list you get another ENTRY. I will track the entry list of entries here as well.

 

4) Please check my trade wants & haves from my other posts - the trade deal can be bigger than just the CONTEST items here, and can be a purchase or a trade or a combo. But only contest items get you points. All my threads are linked in my signature.

 

5) I may adjust the points and list as we go, but you will keep whatever points you earned when you get them. I will probably add a few things later this week.

 

6) THE PRIZE IS PHOTOGRAPHED BELOW. There is also ONE MYSTERY FIGURE in addition to the 19 photographed. ****If I am not able to get to 75 points by the 4th 15th of July, the contest will end but the prize will still be given away. 

 

MY WANT LIST:

Ok guys - week one down and NO TRADES COMPLETED!

 

Got a few PMs but nothing has materialized.

 

I have increased the number of guys on my contest trade list, so lets see what we can do!

 

Check my signature for my other trade threads, and I am also willing to buy stuff too - lets make a deal!

 

[m.u.s.c.l.e.man]

I am thinking that I have the #1 in red. It will probably be Wednesday before I have time to look though. I may have some of the other colors and sculpts you need. I'll look as soon as I can. I am going to try to get a list of flesh I need to complete my set. I've gotten so many lately that I kind of lost track. I'll let you know ASAP

[OneTallPonderosa]

Cool just let me know man. 

 

I am out of town for two weeks for work, but still available to discuss trades - just wont be able to ship until first week of May.

[bbhood]

whats up with the MIMP t-rex? is it Olive or Neon Green?

got any other MIMP?

[OneTallPonderosa]

The T-Rex is certainly not the Olive.  He must be neon I guess - he is slightly brighter green than a SLUG, but I don't know a ton about MIMP colors.

 

I just added a handful of MIMP to my trade page.  Check it out via the link in my signature below.

Well, I do have the red #1 figure for certain. I haven't actually looked through for all the rest on your list but I had a picture that I had taken when I got the big lot with all the colored ones in it. I might be interested in trading for some flesh I need to complete my set. I still need several of those.

[OneTallPonderosa]

The going has been slow and painful ~ ~ ~ ~ so far still NO trades or sales made - not a single contestant!!!

 

Cmon folks - you know you want to trade me those Robin Mask 214 figures you hate so much!

 

Perhaps part with your Parthenons?

 

I Krave your Krakens!

 

Corral those Collared Lizards for me.

 

Lets do this - also check my want & have lists in my signature for all the different things I will buy, sell, or trade.

[OneTallPonderosa]

We have finally broken the ice!

 

I am considering extending the contest and adding additional prizes, we shall see how the next few weeks go.

 

Get those trades and sales in to enter folks!

 

Also, I might have an update or two on my want list, so check back soon.

[OneTallPonderosa]

Ok guys, working on another deal or two.  Also, I am going to be out of town for 10 days on vacation.

 

As such, I am going to extend the contest for now until July 15th.

 

So far its a coin flip on who gets the free prize - but hopefully we get at least 3 more people in on the shot at a free pile of LRGs!

 

Also, I will be adding the final figure to the lot to make it the even 20. Photo coming shortly.

[m.u.s.c.l.e.man]

Forgot all about this man. I still have the red #1 figure. I'm not really looking to collect all the colors so I might trade it for some flesh I need. I have a list finally made out. If you want, you can message me and we'll see what we can come up with.

Ok everyone - after a few weeks of hiatus due to work I am back to close out my contest.

 

Not quite as productive as I had hoped but I appreciate everyone who has helped me!

 

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO ---- THE WINNER IS:

 

PLASTIC FIEND.

 

I will send you a PM to coordinate your prize.

[OneTallPonderosa]

Well folks, the prize is in the mail!

 

Thanks again to Plasticfiend and everyone else who has traded with me or sold my figures I needed.

 

I am already kicking around the idea of refining the trading contest and starting another one up in a few weeks to piece together a new list of desires - we shall see how my schedule goes.

 

And hopefully a few more contestants next time around!

 

Anyhow, consider this thread officially CLOSED!
