Some of you are cold
Some are hot
Get your guesses in
Or you'll miss your shot

Just over 12 hours left
You still have time
Don't forget my contest
Or I'll come up with another rhyme

That's a scary number.

That was on purpose... It's spooktacular time.

Re: Freaktacular 2015

Yeah, I'm not sure if that means I'll get taxed on the website, or by customs when it ships! I'll probably give it a shot to find out by at least ordering the Falcon! That'll be my test subject for how deep I delve into this LEGO abyss.

If it is over 75 CAD you will get the free shipping. They still get you for tax/VAT. I've sent some sets to Eli26 for his birthday, so this is how I know.

Re: Freaktacular 2015

It looks like it's five times the scary number you're thinking of.

I wish I knew this before I guessed.

Yeah, I figured that'd happen! Still probably the best way to go about getting the Falcon for now, so I may still go this route. Unless you mean I'll get taxed twice...then that's a sad day.

Anybody want a peanut?????

My guess.....

765


1. lego sells out all the time. Scalper are hard at work buying sets and doubling the price. Just look at the Jurassic World stuff.

Nah, you'll only pay online. They won't tax you again. FedEx will just ship it to you!

Did that stuff sell out? I never paid much attention. Loved the movie, but I can't go that widespread on licenses! And most of the Jurassic World LEGO stuff didn't seem that impressive to me. That said, I'm definitely picking up the game down the road!

That's good to know. I prefer getting it out of the way...not a big fan of that charge at the door.

CONTEST TIME!

Since we've been talking Legos here for the past few pages, I think I'll base my first contest on it.

The prize: One Funko Pop Vinyl Rocket Raccoon (#48) Bobble figure

The contest: You need to correctly guess the number of Lego bricks/parts that I currently have on display in my collection. Note, this is the number of bricks and not the number of Lego sets.

Rules: 1. I will give you until noon (central time zone) tomorrow (10/6/2015) to get your guess in.
2. Each freak is allowed only one guess.
3. In the likely change that nobody guesses the exact number of bricks that I have on display, I will choose the freak who gets closest without going over the number of bricks I have on display. If two people have the same correct answer, I will choose the freak who submitted their answer first.
4. The number of bricks that I will use for my answer is simply the total number of pieces from each set that I currently have displayed (I will not count extra pieces that come with some sets, or the odd piece that has just made its way into my collection for one reason or another).
5. I will cover shipping within the US or to Canada. I'm sorry, but I cannot cover shipping overseas. You are welcome to pay for shipping overseas, but I figure that the value of the figure is not worth your paying me for shipping.
6. I will post the name of the winner in this forum sometime tomorrow.
7. You can snivel all you want, but it will not change my decision on the winning entry.

I think that's it. Enjoy!

Hmmm.

I am a bit late but my guess is 1,111.

Hopefully I get over this cold before Spook starts!

Re: Freaktacular 2015

Okay SO, I think I will be giving away 2 things. Mondo released 2 Halloween (movie) pins during Mondo-Con. They are awesome. I got an extra set and I may just give those away.

I wanted to do a contest but yeah it's hard to get involved with us being all the way over in the UK.

Re: Freaktacular 2015

My guess for the contest is 12,457 bricks...

Didn't Lego just announce a Doctor Who set for around Christmas?

Re: Freaktacular 2015

yeah, they've got a Dr. Who set planned. Supposedly they're also doing a Ghostbuster Fire Station set next year.
