BOB SHARE

The occasion?  Um, lets call it:

Its Hot as Hell in Singapore This Time of Year So I Gotta Give Away Something Day!

Well, its more humid than it is hot but you get the muggy picture. :(

First off, a little bit of administrative matters...(Because were all business here at Chase Variant. Lol.)

Dill, dude, you won the last contest but ya gotta contact me if you want your Crimson Dynamo!  Its sitting in the corner of my room crying its eyes out and blathering in Russian about how hot it is here...

Drop me an email or leave a message here so I can get your address and mail CD out to ya!  If not, Ill redraw the winner and announce him/her at the same time I announce the winner of this draw!  So if Dill doesnt get in touch with me by then, think of this post as a double contest bonanza! ;P

So the contest rules remain the same!

Ground Rules

1) If you win the contest and youre overseas (i.e: anywhere else in the world but in Singapore), youll still receive the figure for free!  Ill cover the shipping cost, including shipping materials.  I may opt to open the toy (something Im very good at) and remove the bubble, especially if shipping gets too steep.  But Ill ship everything else from the card to the inserts if you like. ;)

2) If you live in Singapore, theres no definitely shipping charge--well arrange for a meet up so I can shake your hand, hand you the prize, and let the media (aka me) take a few snap shots. (Just kidding, no photos necessary.  Lol.)


Theres a couple of things you have to do in order to enter.

Firstly, identify the toy in the pic on the left!  Yes, it is your prize. And yes, this ones tougher than the previous giveaway (I hope.)  :P  Heres a clue: Hes not Crimson Haha. Clearly.  Haha.   But the dude is a Russian though he des look a tad Roman in this pic. ;)

Secondly, once youve identified the prize in question, reply to this post and tell me what the toy is!  Each correct answer will receive one chance to win.  But thats not all--you can double your chances if you recommend someone else to Chase Variant and get them to follow it.  (Youll have to let me know who you recommended in your post and Ill double your entry once theyve followed!  Its that easy.  For you, that is!  For me it might turn out to be a mathematical nightmare. 8})

Well all thats left now is a closing date!  Lets call it a week and a bit from the time of this post, thats 5am Singapore time on Friday the 15th of July.  (Thats GMT +8.)

Have fun with this one!  (Unless you already know the answer, then have fun...er..waiting? :P)  Fire away! :D
