Big Christmas Giveaway

Alter Egotist

Hellooooooooooooooo fellow gamers.

Christmas giveaway time! I've been very very fortunate in my collecting and in people's generosity to me this year so I wanna pay it forward to you fine people. Health has meant I'm not as focused or even present on here as much as I'd like but hopefully next year I'll get a break health wise and meet up with more of ye again.

On to the giveaway!

One lucky winner will receive a box full of goodies just in time for Christmas to enjoy, cherish, pass on to someone else or even resell. Whatever they so please. I do not judge. People gots to eat or in my case continue putting those sealed NES games on the shelf. I'm up to 98 sealed games by the way if anyone is interested and just need two more by the end of the calendar year to reach that all important goal of 100 in my first year of the challenge I've set myself. Fingers crossed! Cross them I said!

I've become sidetracked.

So what do you need to do to enter? Just respond below. This giveaway is just for you fine members of Arcade And Retro and I aim to let it run for the working week next week (Monday to Friday) and pick a winner on Friday evening when I get home from hospital with the winners parcel being sent out early the next week (if I get a reply and their address in time) to be with them for Christmas!

I'd like to keep the prizes a surprise but I'm a big child and love presents so I'll reveal more during the week. The plan is to acquire a big box and fill it to the top.

In regards to postage, I have a friend working in a courier service and will use his services to deliver it so you will more than likely need someone at home or to provide me with an address where someone can accept it for you. Even your work address will do!

So comment below, let me know if ye wanna know "WHATS IN THE BOOIIIIX" (has to be said like Brad Pitt in Se7en" or if ye'd all prefer a surprise?

Keep it retro people!

Count me in!
And I like surprises, so I don't want to know what's in the box!

I would also like to really know whats in the box
You are so generous, here's to a healthier 2017 !!

William Somerset: This guy's methodical, exacting, and worst of all, patient.
David Mills: He's a nut-bag! Just because the f@ck3r's got a library card doesn't make him Yoda!

Optimus Prime

Count me in too , have to say you are very generous giving away stuff here now and in the past! Pictures of your sealed collection are needed too! Nearly a hundred already, It took me a couple of years to get that many unsealed ones.

Oh and keeping it a surprise gets my vote.

Star Lord

You, sir, are a legend.

If it's a body part in the box, (either Se7en style, or Justin Timberlake/Andy Samberg style) I want to be forewarned... Otherwise, surprises are good!

Retr0gamer

Count me in!

I hope things are improving for you man.

Corholio

Count me in too!

Very generous of you to do this. Surprises are good for sure, I bet whoever gets it will be very pleased.

Fair play for this man, not many people do this sort of thing.
You can leave my name off the list though, so someone else can win "The Box"

Same here, I have everything I want for Christmas (other than a Euro Lotto win! :P) so I'll pass on putting my name down. But whomever wins make sure to post some snaps (and maybe stick around a while if you're a lurker).

Fair play Alter. :cool:

I'd also like to be included in the draw. Even though I visit here quite often I very rarely post and would understand if I'm not active enough to be included. Either way it's very generous of you to do this. Happy Christmas buddy!!!

GreyAlien

Like the above poster I don't post often, but visit quite often to read.
