Have the stores collect names (i dunno licenses)
Stores draw winners

Hold the S7 lottery after the store lotteries.

Compare S7 lottery winners to store lists
If match up, dump the winner and pick again

whatever I give up

This brings back memories of the S7 RxH set lottery.

That was a fun day... names pulled from a grocery bag...

were you in my staff meeting today?

This is my idea. Get a group pic of everyone at the lottery at each store. If I ask for volunteers to take pics and talk to Kirby, Lev, and Luke this should be easy to do. I would love to see regional pics of sb members. Our community is small enough to police it from there.

What do you think? (dress nice on Saturday)

Hope springs eternal in a mailing tube.

inside joke.

so no giant robot right?

Except each store's entries will be received over the course of the day Saturday, all the entrants won't be there together at one time to be photographed ... Presumably one 'need not be present to win' at the drawings.

Ballot paper where you put name and addy and someone takes a photo. Chaos can then be mailed to said person.

How about keeping a list at each store? Buy a figure, write your full name next to it. (The truly paranoid at heart can require a driver's license as proof ) Each store sends their list to S7. Names from web sales are matched against the master list to make sure there's no hanky panky.

Hell, either that or do what S7 did in 2006 for SDCC. Create a sign up list on this site. Your name on the list makes you eligible to participate in the lotteries. Buy a figure, and your name is crossed off the list. That would also ensure that most figures go to the most hardcore collectors.

Hey I just had a thought - how about a special lottery just for Fan Club members?

That's just mean

i only jest! i mean no harm to the arizona kaiju massive..

as for the rest of us,,i think this scene is small enough,,no need for background checks & mugshots...there are only 5 lottery figures available,,we will all know who the lucky few are...

why all the stress over a bit of fun????

I wish I was able to be apart of it...I'm sorry Luke!

Fingerprints & DNA samples from everyone..........

How about if they are mailed out after all winners names are crosschecked?

if there only 5 and im sure it not going to be easy to even win one not to mention two why all the paranoia

I'm going for all five.

take the concorde from nyc to chicago,,chicago to az,,az to sf,,then get on the itouch wifi just down the street from s7

DNA is so 2006 its all about Subcutaneous RFID Chips in 2008!

Was that the same day as the full color frankenghost release and the orange balzac fig?

So there is no chance for someone who can't go to the stores to win one of these?

This was from a few days ago. Hope this helps.

Awesome thanks for clearing that up I read through all 8 pages and must have overlooked it.

Getting to Saturday is moving slower then this Banana Slug:

Is there going to be a reasonable time frame to give folks around the world enough time to join the lottery?

i heard it is only going to be a five minute time frame.

I have given up on everything GR except for their restaurant.
