I GOT A GOLDEN TICKET!!! *another small update*

[Magnus9178]

I would absolutely love to meet up with people from the board! I don't live very far from the city, so once I know more details of the trip it should be easy for me to plan. I'll keep everyone posted.

Congrats! Assuming that means you'll be at NYCC next year, let's meet up.

Congratulations and I am very happy for you!

Can't wait to see what kind of goodies you bring back home.

Not quite Veruca, but definitely not Charlie. My LCS Ordered me all the pullbox variants and I looked on their shelf for a ticket and found nothing; I'd like to point out that I'm very loyal to this store so regardless of another deal that was in the works I still bought what they ordered me. Another local shop that hooks me up with valiant variants got a larger order, none of which I bought but neither did they have the ticket. In the meantime I had worked out a deal with Ed from Collector's Paradise and have been waiting for the shipment to arrive. It finally came today...

The story: My parents stopped by to drop off my Christmas gift as I was getting a new 55' TV and they decided it was better to bring it directly over in my dad's truck from the store instead of trying to work things out on Christmas. I knew the order should be here any day so I asked my mother to grab any mail at the house that may have came; I don't have things delivered to my apartment cause I don't trust my scrubby downstairs neighbors. Anyway, I help my Dad bring the TV in and figure I'd open the package first since I would be messing with the TV all night. After unwrapping the package I grabbed half the books to take a look. The first book I looked at was the golden ticket. I was like WTF, no way is this real. If you had followed the thread about the Collector's Paradise extras someone joked about people getting a golden ticket. I really thought it was a joke, to amazing to be real. So I posted a vague message on the other thread and PMed Ed "I got a Golden Ticket, Thank you!" He sent a 1 word response "WHAT?" I clarified with him that he had no idea. It's been an amazing day for sure. *EDIT* The TV is out of the box but had no been hooked up yet, lol.

Ed recaps his version of the story on his thread here:

This is the coolest thing ever! Just curious, are you Charlie (only purchased one or two copies) or Veruca (your father ordered a storeroom worth)?

[Magnus9178]

YES! I went over to a friend's house and brought it up on YouTube to sing. I've now been whistling the song all night!!!

Congrats! That is fricken awesome!

[lorddunlow]

I usually do feel a little jealous when people get cool things on here that I'll likely never own, but I think it is so awesome that you got this!

I just want to touch it. I honestly figured none would be found. Didn't someone ask just think morning if anyone had heard about any being found?

[Magnus9178]

I thought I saw that too, but I can no longer find it.

I left the house for a few house and now I have a bunch of questions to answer, lol.

First I just want to thank everyone for congratulating me! I really hope to see others form the board out there win as well. Good luck everyone

I didn't get any variants, but I did send in my postcard to enter for one of the other 5 spots in the contest. So there's a chance I'll win still. Massive congrats, dude. Very glad to see someone from the boards get this and hope there's more to come.

[nscc]

*SQUEE* yea!

Thats awesome, big congrats to ya

[Magnus9178]

Wow that was a weird spelling error, that sentence should have read "I left my house for a few hours..."

And thank you, good luck on your submission!!!

Kudos on finding one. It is even better that it is a board member here.

After a couple of weeks I have to admit that I was wondering if any of these would ever be found so this is especially exciting.

Enjoy your win! Wonder if VEI lets you keep the actual book or if you have to trade it in to get your goodies?

[Magnus9178]

Oh, yeah, of course that was it...

I sent the email to valiant last night notifying them. I CANNOT WAIT for their response
