Two $1 emails so far.

What are you guys planning to buy with the added points?

With the paltry amount from Spook, in addition to my regular rewards, I should have enough to cover the shipping for another statue at least...

My account was at zero before the first email.

The email:

As a thank you for joining us, we've added $1.00 in Sideshow Rewards to your account. Use them to get something cool!

Gee. What should I spend my dollar on? Decisions, decisions.

 

[BurningRage]

Got another $1 and $2 email.

 

[Asta]

I got $1, $1, $1 and $2 which tally in order with the first five lottery spins.

 

[Asta]

This is a new one:

As a thank you for joining us, here's a promo code for $3 off select items. We've added this code to your online wallet. Use it at checkout to get something cool!

That one lasts a month.


Everything is geared towards getting sales quickly. Is Sideshow short of money? Are they paying their social media team in Dark Troopers?


Okay let's see what you can spend that on:

This is a new one:

Yeah, I just received two of those, except they're promo codes not reward points. And there are no eligible items.

Sideshow: Here's $3 for nothing.

Everyone: $3 for doing nothing?

Sideshow: No. $3 for nothing.

OK, just got a $3 rewards email . I guess they realized their mistake lol...

Same here. They deleted the promo and replaced it with rewards.

 

[The Buffinator]

Holy ****, I just got a $15 rewards e-mail! I assumed the $3 one was for the BBB After Party question, but now I'm guessing this is it. No idea what the $3 was for, as I only had two $1 rewards outstanding...

 

[loki2371]

I got an email for $2.

The only spin I managed to get something from was the drawing thingy they do. But that was only for a $1. And I only got the 1 email.

So they gave me double!! ....

 

[BurningRage]

Got two $3 emails.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Got $2... was only owed $1... so that's nice. Thank you, Sideshow.

Received an additional $25 in total ($1 + $2 + $1 + $1 + $2 + $3 + $15). All expiring Feb 1st.

So that's a potential grand total of $151.50 for the event if my calculations are correct. Did anyone manage to get the full amount?

I think the rest of us are assuming that if anyone did, it was YOU!

I didn't keep a running total, but based on what I managed to collect and what I know I missed, the total is $123.50 for all the codes, not counting registration or lotteries. I believe there was a total of $9 from the various lotteries (don't think I missed any), so potentially $137.50 if you add up everything. Plus an unknown amount from BBB for his question during the after party stream.

Probably the last time I'll participate. It's not enjoyable and I'm too old to last so many days on minimal sleep. I slogged it out to boost my remaining points for a figure I want to pre-order, but with all these short term rewards, it's not worth the effort anymore.

PS. I just remembered, I received a single use $2 code via email from the fortune teller. So the total of the regular codes should be $121.50, rather than $123.50.

LOL. I did pretty well but missed a few. Not worth the lack of sleep but I figured if this was my last time, might as well give it a good try. Would have been great if someone here got them all.

The short term expiry on these ruins it. For overseas folks like me, need $60+ just to cover tax and shipping. Even then, it's a minimal saving vs buying from a local seller and not worth the trouble.

Yup.

That applies for U.S. customers as well. I'm in Michigan and (depending on the price of the figure) I find that I have to burn anywhere from $45 to $60 in reward points with Sideshow just to get their cost competitive with other out-of-state sellers who don't charge sales tax and whose shipping is half what Sideshow charges me. If the stars align I can combine reward points with a $20 Thank You promo code, but those are rarely available when something I actually want goes up for order.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, for instance if I were to get the new Chewbacca from Sideshow, it would cost an additional $40 with tax and then another $20 shipping (20 miles)... so I have to come up with $60 before I'm even at retail price. There's just no way to get the cost down by much.
