I couldn't get all my thoughts in the comments section of the spook page, so I'm adding some stuff I missed here:

- I cannot stress enough how cool it is to get preorders for great horror product during Spooktacular! I hope this continues next year.

- Chris and the rest of the web team deserve extra props for putting up with our garbage, as well as coming up with creative solutions to thwart the cheaters.

- Even more extra props to the warehouse team who undoubtedly were working harder than ever to keep all the orders straight and get everything out on time. I hope they realize their hard work does not go unnoticed.

- The VIP chats are always very interesting, and i hope they continue. Thanks to Brant, Heath, Mat, and everybody, it was a great pleasure.

- Mat, we really want that History of Sideshow book!

- MORT!!! MORT!!! MORT!!!

- More Criswell!

- The "little things" were big hits with me (and, I suspect everybody else). The spook survival kit and the ornament were great and I hope to see that kind of extra product continue.

- What's the deal with me not winning anything this year? I expect something extra special next year!

Freebies:
Darth Maul Probe Droids
Willow from Buffy
Helm of the King of the Dead
Clone Trooper VCD

Won:
Human Spike figure from Buffy

Purchased:
Xander figure from Buffy using $20 Spooktactular Readiness Kit gift certificate (going to use the figure for a custom)
Hunchback of Notre Dame using $10 gift certificate kindly given to me by Bannister
Nik Sant Rebel trooper using $50 gift certificate

Preordered:
Commander Praji figure (actually waitlist since I debated about it too long)

I think I had a very nice haul. I work at home at a computer much of the day, so I was able to stay on top of what was happening much of the time. My only regret was missing out on most of the LOTR helm freebies, but I guess there's always next year.

 

[Calle_Sandell]

Yeah I had a great time, But I liked some previous years better

Frebbies:
12" Buffy : cancelled
MuzzleCage helm : Given away
KOTD helm : cancelled
Elessar Crown : cancelled

Can't stand paying 45$ shipping on a helm that costs 30$

Won:
Nothing, but got my hopes on the Pumpkin contest

Pre-ordered:
nothing..

purchased:

I guess it wasn't a good year for a LOTR fan... if you already got all the suff that was on sale..

As my third spooktacular, it was probably the most fun yet! Even if the rest of my life did persist in getting in the way. I...

Won: sadly, nothing. Not through lack of trying, to be sure. I'm actually considering going for a four year record next time...

Purchased: Helm of Sauron! Even though it puts a bit of a drain on my rent budget, I'm very excited and can't wait for it to arrive! I'm sure the landlord will understand.


Coveted: Too many items to list.

Now, to convince myself that I really don't need to keep refreshing the spooktacular homepage...

 

[Fritz]

Fun as usual! Great Spooktacular. Although I wasn't on as much as previous years, it was fun. Thanks Sideshow!
