First off I wanna say I have big respect for Ramos and Brian and I would not want your job rite now. It's gotta be killer in moments like these.
I kinda disagree with this just a little. I don't see how filling out this form and sticking a stamp on an envelope is going to be too much commitment for any flipper, it seems like a no brainer to me. Flips love something profitable thats what they live for. This process may take a flipper all of 60 seconds to complete unless they fill in multiple forms.
When I read about the lottery I thought it was the best way to disperse these sets, it's a fair and even idea ! However once I realized it was an open invitation to anyone out there, then I thought it turned a bit unfair to ALL of the collectors on the SKULLBRAIN board. There are now around 530 ative members on the board , so I don't understand why the competition for these sets could not have just been left to the HARDCORE fans of RxH in the first place. We have been the ones that buy the bulk of this merchandise via this board. I think it would have shown a little better fan appreciation. I also feel if you had offered up these sets on the board to anyone who wanted one we would probbly have all put the doe down and everyone could walk away happy.
I have sent in my ONE entry for too. Is it too late to lockdown this offer to the board members ?
CAN'O WORMS - LOL
PS, the original article in Super7 said they would be released one per week ! To whoever wanted the original release info.

The lottery is going to be announced only on Skullbrain, so it should limit the incoming envelopes. The problem is there are more RFSO folks who want the set than we have sets, so we thought this was the fairest way to get them to you guys. Even if we went by who joined first, etc. we would not hit half the RFSO die-hards before running out of figures. Hopefully with as little promotion as possible, we can keep the interest fan only.
Also, I need to discuss with Ramos, but I think box stuffing is a wack, so I will probably toss anything suspiscious. No brothers, sisters, cousins, etc. (except Jackie and John) That said, I have to make sure we do not throw any first-timers who are legit out. Good luck to everyone!

Casa Sanchez! That Elote rocket is the best logo right after that huge mural of a jalapeño with a gun running after the taco with glasses at 24th & mission.

I bet S7 has most of our addreses on file because most of us have ordered from them.
Maybe a cross check ??
What ever though.....
I sent in one entry and thats all I'm gonna send.
Most of the biggest lottery winners in the world won when they bought only one ticket.
Hopefully my luck will be the same.
But I agree, I hope the die hard RxH fans get them. Not flippers or trade baiters.

I have a feeling all those talking about stuffing the box are joking. It's too bullshyte of a move. That said, I don't doubt SOME will try...they just won't announce it here. I'm not a "Real Head", so that's one less entry form.

Hey Brian, I agree it is the best way to distribute the sets and there are far more RFSO fans on this board than sets available. So why go general public with this offer. Thats been my question of fairness from the the git ? I never saw it as a question of who joined the board first. It was about members first !

Okay - apparently you guys can't take a joke (never have never will). I don't have time nor the inclination to stuff the ballot box. I am also sure the presenters of this little lottery (S7) have made it abundently sure there is a one per customer set limit. They also know there customers - who has ordered what where when and probably why. They have a stable of regular RxH fella's and gal's. So don't get your overseas panties ina bunch!!! Good luck all! ONE Entry on the way.

Christ! Does anybody believe the "we're going to stuff the lottery raffle bit"? Calm down peeps and get a sense of humor, it's a joke.
Most of us who go to Super 7 for releases could bring multiple friends/associates/homeless with us to snag whatever we want, guess wot, nobody does.
They only announced the release right here for us Brainers! I overheard someone say they were going to pull the names of people who put up snivel posts. . . that's another joke for those unsure.

If its a true lottery though how can you toss anyone out?
As numerous people say, there are alot of people who don't post on here who collect, or who read the board.
If its a skullbrain only raffle thats one thing, but tossing other peoples if its not?
Kinda mutes the point.
Not that I have even taken the time to send in one yet.
lol

The situation above is about buying multiple pieces while this situation is about winning the opportunity to even get one. I can totally see the hard core fans sending in multiple entries to increase their chances of getting one and there really isn't much that can be done about it.

Absolutely true, but the knuckleheads talking about it on this thread are obviously joking. Truthfully, I've seena bunch of different ways to release limited pieces and there was never a single way that made everybody happy, somebody always snivels and then suggests a type of release that is "fair", but favors them in someway. If somebody doesn't get one, it wasn't fair.
Basically the only fair way to distribute them is to make sure I get one, the rest of you can figure it out for yourselves.
