There were some utterly FANTASTIC entries for this contest! :thumb: thank you to everone. Elery and I had the goal that this would be our most fun promo yet, and it looks like you all made that goal come true! :high-five:

Will post the list of winners tomorrow. All the prizes are boxed up, just waiting for me to address them. Then, next Thursday, I will deliver all of them to the post office at which point all Elery and I can do is wait for your reactions. Hope you are as pleased to get it as we are to debut it to you and valiantdom.

Great job :clap:

I also popped out the masks...and then saw other people just holding the covers up facepalm oh well...no regrets! I'll have fun with the masks...and yeah, I need to replace them...think I'll search around for some sales, sometimes ebay has really great deals, Valiant books for a dollar...
Yeah, before popping them out, I went to check to see if they are on Ebay and I saw a couple listed for each for about cover price, so it made it an easier decision for me. :) Plus ... my LCS will have 1$ back issue sales on occasion also ... i'll try to pick them up then. :thumb:

Yeah, that would work ... There is a good scan of the Shadowman Mask online that would have worked good as a print out - not sure about Rai and X-O.

Well I'll give a quick shot. Nothing great, but with no time left and a healthy amount of Naked Turtle Rum in me here is my try :
Here's the room in progress, this actually in our main living room, and I have a whole spare room that is being redone now, but not nearly finished enough to put a pic up.

I didn't have much time for replies yesterday, as I was working while taking those pics I posted.. but.

I have to first say, this is one of, if not MY favourite thread/contest ever! All 11 pages last night were looked at by my girlfriend too, when she enjoys a comic related post ya know it has to be good!! She didn't even seem like she was pretending!

Some of you are quite creative and I really enjoyed seeing your rooms, books and families and friends participating too!

The stand outs for me have to be Phantom (great job on the party and all of it Fletch!),bygranddesign for making me laugh alot! but all of you did an amazing job. :clap: :clap: :thumb:

I even held back making snarky dunlow comments... (think butters and his face jokes from south park if you are fans).. ;)

I just gotta say, I loved this whole process, and really want to thank (in alphabetical, not order of importance) Bruce, Elery and VEI for once again doing something awesome for us.

I can't wait to see the surprise prize, but really, the best part was having fun with it.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand-basket?

I can only echo everyone else sentiments on this thread. It's been a lot of fun and I can't say how much I really appreciate Ellery and Bruce and all that they are doing. I know that with my work schedule I can barely even engage in these awesome contest and promos. And these guys not only put it together they think it up and they handle all the prizes being divvied out.honestly I can't even imagine having that kind of time to do all of that. I mean I think when you're talking about super fans those two definitely have to be up there because they do it all for free and just because they like valiant so much. Thanks again guys this was a lot of fun and I hope we can do it again! :clap:
