It appears that at least a few of you appreciate my SS RP event recaps, so here's one for Spooktacular 2020!
FYI- this recap only includes the codes given out on SS's social media channels and in their videos, so it does NOT include any codes that were randomly emailed to people. Also, this recap does NOT include any of the higher value ($10, $20, or $100) and extremely limited (10 or less redemptions available) The Bossy Boss Boss codes given out during the Spooktacular Daily Wrap-up videos streamed live in the Let Your Geek Side Show Facebook group.
Also, for some of the codes given out during some of their live stream videos, no one on the stream said how many redemptions were available. However, almost every time a redemption amount was listed for a code (besides the higher value and extremely limited The Bossy Boss Boss codes and a couple "for stream only" codes given by The Bossy Boss Boss during Daily Wrap-Up livestreams), the limit was 2,000 redemptions. So, for the purposes of this recap, I assumed that anytime SS didn't tell us how many redemptions a code had available, it had 2,000 redemptions available.
In total, SS gave out 45 codes during this event, broken down like this:
-4 codes on Thursday the 22nd
-2 codes on Friday the 23rd
-5 codes on Saturday the 24th
-4 codes on Sunday the 25th
-5 codes on Monday the 26th
-5 codes on Tuesday the 27th
-6 codes on Wednesday the 28th
-4 codes on Thursday the 29th
-5 codes on Friday the 30th
-5 codes on Saturday the 31st
The 45 codes given out were worth a total of $85, broken down like this:
-17 codes worth $1
-18 codes worth $2
-9 codes worth $3
-1 code worth $5
For recent comparisons, SS gave out 24 codes worth $53 during their 2020 Sideshow New York Con event in early October and 17 codes worth $62 total during their 2020 Sideshow Con event in July. And during Spooktacular 2019, they gave out 40 codes worth a total of $76, so more codes worth more money in this event when compared to their two most recent events and this same event last year.
Instead of time limits on codes during this event, Sideshow continued to offer them with a limited amount of redemptions once they were released. Here's a breakdown of how many redemptions the 45 codes had during this event:
-1 code had 850 redemptions
-1 code had 1,000 redemptions
-1 code had 1,100 redemptions
-42 codes had 2,000 redemptions
The three codes that didn't have 2,000 redemptions available were released by The Bossy Boss Boss in the Daily Wrap-up streams and were intended to not be shared and only redeemed by the number of people currently watching the stream.
Similar to the recent Sideshow New York Con event, SS unfortunately posted these codes on MANY of their social media channels during this event. Here's a breakdown:
-7 codes posted onscreen or spoken during a video on the Let Your Geek Side Show Facebook group
-5 codes posted onscreen during a video on the primary Sideshow Collectibles Facebook page, on the Let Your Geek Side Show Facebook group, and on the Sideshow YouTube channel
-2 codes posted onscreen and in the chat/comments during a video on the primary Sideshow Collectibles Facebook page, in the chat/comments during a video on the Let Your Geek Side Show Facebook group, and in the chat/comments during a video on the Sideshow YouTube channel

Thanks to everyone here for sharing the codes during Spooktacular 2020! Hopefully SS gives out a bunch of codes during Geeksgiving 2020, which starts in just over two weeks!
According to the registration page for the event (
https://www.sideshow.com/events/geeksgiving), the "majority of the event takes place in the Let Your Geek Sideshow Official Facebook Group" (which matches how it went last year). While I certainly am thankful that it appears SS will greatly reduce the places where they give out RP codes (it certainly will make tracking down all the codes and putting a recap together MUCH easier), limiting most of the codes to one place may make them harder to redeem if they keep them at 2,000 redemptions (since they'll be less spread around and everyone can just primarily focus on the LYGSS page and videos all week). I guess we'll find out soon, though!
