Title: Raffle: Nintendo GamePacks Box
Post by: roflmao on September 16, 2011, 02:17:47 PM
Hey all!  In the spirit of generosity that's plagued the forums recently I figured I'd take a crack at it as well.

Up for raffle is one complete box of Nintendo GamePacks!
(It's not Turbo-related, I know, but it's the best I could come up with on short notice...)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eiWjDEEBv8o/TnPwyb4GrdI/AAAAAAAADlo/zCOfejiGdwk/s640/NintendoGamePacksOpen.jpg)

The box contains 48 unopened packs of cards.  Each pack contains 3 scratch-off cards and 2 stickers.  

Here's a sample of what some of the stickers look like:

Truth Time:  They don't really stick very well these days.  I gave my 3 yr old a pack from another box earlier this week and they didn't stick very well.  But after being hit with a glue stick they were good as new. :) I took a complete collection of stickers and taped them together to form a poster and have it hanging in my office.

Here's a sample of the front of the scratch-off cards:

Truth Time: They don't  scratch off very well.  We tried to "play" the games that my son opened earlier this week and the coin I used ended up rubbing off both the silver and whatever it's supposed to cover.  These things were made 22 years ago...

Here's the back of the scratch-off cards.  They include very useful tips  :roll::

Anyway, that's it.  I'll pull a name out of a hat sometime next week (I'm thinking Monday).  I'll make the drawing tonight, Tuesday, 9/20/2011.

Enjoy!

Excellent!  I'm glad to see such a good turnout.  I've updated the OP with the names of each of the people who have signed up so far.  Please let me know if I missed anyone!  (I'm trying to get over a cold right now so am not running at 100%)  I'll keep it open at least until Monday evening, though I might make the drawing on Tuesday so folks that don't stop by over the weekend have a chance to join in.

Depending on how I'm feeling (if this cold has gone away) I may even post a little video of the drawing on YT, just so you know it's legit. :)  But the jury's still out on that.
