    75205 Mos Eisley Cantina Review Copy Raffle Winner

    I’m not sure how many of you reading this realize I give away almost all of the LEGO sets I review. I keep some of them depending if my kids want it or whatnot, but I try to give them away. I always put the instructions at the very end of a review. I saw the placement of the instructions as a bonus to anyone who would scroll down that far. The number of responses varied but I always got a pretty good amount.

    When I reviewed 75205 Mos Eisley Cantina I decided to try something new and that was to raffle it away. Donate $1 to FBTB and your name gets put into a virtual hat. Again, I buried the instructions way down on the bottom of the review, past the text and gallery of pictures, and I got a whopping total of two donations! Which is fine, I’m not exactly looking to recoup my costs (but if that happened I wouldn’t complain in the least) but any offset through donations is welcome. Seeing only two donations come in was, I’m not gonna lie, a bit deflating and maybe that’s why I haven’t done a whole lot of reviews in the same way. Not sure if people just don’t see the instructions, or if it was the 1-star review, or if people are just not willing to donate, or if it was a combination of all of the above. But no matter, I’m going to soldier on and keep my word. So, without further ado, I’d like to announce the winner of my review copy of 75205 Mos Eisley Cantina. And the winner is:

    Adam Kannas
    Stillwater, MN

    Now it’s been a good eight months since the entry period closed, so I’m going to have to verify the mailing address is still valid before shipping. But Adam Kannas, if you’re reading this, shoot me an email at giveaways AT fbtb DOT net.

    An Update On A Previous Giveaway

    The FANDO MANDO giveaway winner was not fulfilled due to me misplacing the set. But I found it and can be delivered as soon as I can verify that the winner, James Howlett, is still at the address he submitted.

    I may take a long time to fulfill the giveaways, but they do get done. And I’m gonna stick with the raffle format for the next couple, see how it goes.

     

  • New Day, New Giveaway Winner Announcement

    New Day, New Giveaway Winner Announcement

    So I kinda forgot that we were also supposed to give away our review copy of 21314 TRON: Legacy back when Eric reviewed it. Well I’m here to make things right and announce the winner. Congratulations go to:

    Derek Meyer
    Arlington, VA

    If you’re not Derek Meyer living in Arlington, VA, and you still want this set, Amazon surprisingly still has them on sale for 20% off at just $27.99. I figured this set would have been long discontinued cause it seems like forever and a day ago that it came out. It only came out March 31st of 2018. I’m not sure what the production run is for Ideas sets. Seems like they’re much longer now than the first couple experienced if TRON is any indication.

  • Yoda’s Hut Giveaway Winner

    Yoda’s Hut Giveaway Winner

    Kinda forgot about this but back in March, I posted a review of 75208 Yoda’s Hut and as usual with most of my reviews, I giveaway my review copy. It’s May now and it’s time to do some spring cleaning and hopefully make someone’s day a little brighter. So, without further ado, the winner of 75208 Yoda’s Hut is:

    Joseph Davis
    Albany, OR

    Congratulations, Joseph! Your ziplocked set will be on its way!

    Thank you to everyone else who entered and dropped in some kind comments. They are always nice to read. And yes, I read every entry.

    Didn’t win? Fret none, young ones, our next review and giveaway will be forthcoming.

  • LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Giveaway Winner

    LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Giveaway Winner

    Kind of a slow day. That’s what happens on weekends on holidays. But I do have something to share and that’s announcing the winner of my physical copy of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 giveaway. If you made it to the end of the review, I posted the giveaway. This is for a physical copy of the deluxe edition game for the PS4. And so, without further ado, the winner is:

    Jamie Durie
    Kinburn, Ontario, CANADA

    I didn’t finish the game, and since I posted that review I’ve had very little motivation to go back and try and slog my way through it. But apparently, based on the comments I’ve received on that article, I should just give up on gaming and throw away all my games. Those comments still make me laugh.
