OFFICIAL SPOOKTACULAR 2009 Thread!

[gibby]

Man, this forum is awesome. My weak collection doesn't hold anything to what guys have, but I am glad I found this forum!

I miss spook week, even though I won boo!

(rookie) CHAINSAW!!!

 

[leatherneck]

Did someone say CHAINSAW!!!!!!!!

 

[FLOSI]

Ahhhh..now that makes a lot of sense. Those chat contests were so nuts it was hard to even read what was being posted the screen scrolled so fast.

I wouldn't worry about it. And congrats on such a sweet, sweet prize.

So did you order the dead heads, Jen? I never found out what the scale was on those, 1/4?... they do look nice though.

 

[The Boot]

So, how long before some Negative Nelly comes in here and starts complaining about us posting in this thread?

Waaaaah! Necropost!! Necropost!! Spook is over!! Are you still talking about this? Head over to the latest SW b!tc#fest and join our discussion about properly sourced fabrics and oversized heads!

I give it a day, day and a half.

Right, Floating MJ?

Nah, didn't order them. If they weren't coming out right away, I may have been tempted.

Dusty posted in the specimen thread the sizes of the busts. I believe they are 11 inch tall (base included). The heads are 5 inches from chin to the top of the head. So I don't know is that 1/3 or 1/2 scale? Probably closer to 1/2 unless you got a super big noggin.

Hmmm, since I'm the only one who seems concerned about this 8:00 PT Scavenger Hunt thing, I'm starting to think my confirmation e-mail may be stamped with the wrong time and I'm freaking out over nothing.

Either way, I submitted a comment to Sideshow, and it's awaiting moderation, so we'll see if that gets looked at.

Just when I thought I was out, the Spook madness pulled me back in!

 

[BuffyGirl]

Did anyone make any suggestions when doing the survey?

My major suggestion was that they make shirts in sizes small and medium as there are women who want them to fit. That truly was what kept me from buying the kit this year. I wanted everything that was in it but didn't want a shirt 2x bigger. Oh well, next year. It seems like sideshow listens to us so I have faith that next year if a shirt is in the kit, there will be more sizes.

Anyone else?

I also think you may have just gotten a weird ass time stamp. I really don't think they word was available w/ the Mistress of HR until 8am. At 8:08am someone came into chat and announced it was up. I got my entry in at 8:09am. Don't think I've got a chance though.

Wow, the size is pretty good TBO... I really thought they were cool but not quite cool enough to order at that price... Plus they don't go with my collection at all.

The sweatshirts were a bit on the small side, FYI... Very cool though, sorry you had to miss out.... Been wearing mine all the time.

I love the smell of chainsaws in the morning! Smells like.... VICTORY!

That is 1/2 scale, Jen.

As far as the controversy goes, that always seems to happen in the chat. Both of my chat wins had controversy about whether I answered first, or even if my answers were right. And those were really small contests compared to most.

Anyway, here's my list for this year, almost nothing compared to past years:

WINS
The Dead Butcher
The Chainsaw Killer (reg)
Sideshow Hat (chat)
Sideshow Keychain (chat)
LOTR Film Frame (chat)

IN STOCK ORDERS
Creature SSE Dio
Duel of Light and Fire Faux Bronze Dio
The Dead Specimens LSB Set

PRE-ORDERS
The Clash of Kings Dio
Hot Toys Michael Jackson Thriller Figure

Hey you did good! That Dead Butcher looks sweet! And please let us know what film frames you got...that also looked liked a sweet prize.

 

[djsosharp]

Congrats to all the big winners. Including my robotic father.

Question: Has anyone put Dark Lord Dave's head on the floating MJ?

 

[gibby]

Gently used!

 

[swabie2424]

Swabie - Dang man let me be your padawan because you are the Spook master LOL. No one should condemn you for your cunning in grabbing all those prizes...you earned them fair and square so if anyone sais anything just send them to me. LOL

The Jedi Council has approved me taking you on for Spook 2010!

Oh, and by the way.... CHAINSAW!

I suggested that kit owners should have 1 or 2 exclusive contests. I kept waiting for a contest that asked "What is the 3rd picture on page 54 of Catalog 11" or "What does the guitarist say in the 3rd frame of the Mort comic". We bought that kit because we are Spook masters and we deserve at least 1 exclusive contest.

I also said next year's kit should include a tiny vinyl Mort.

Oh, and...
