Except for a Canadian Orderwhich I am missing the address information.
(4 members did not give me their addresses)![]()
Everyone exept for 2 international orders will receive theirs within 2-3 days.
3+ hours of packing / shipping and labeling. All worth the effort.
I'll post pictures this evening.

Elery,
You went above and beyond. Thanks man. I saw a had a shipping notice and was shocked.

To do this for all of us is awesome in its own right, but to get all these books shipped out the day after is crazy!

Here's a photo of everyones packages.
All the books, prints and cards are sandwiched inside the envelopes. (for secure transit)

4 on the left had missing addresses, but 3 were aquired before shipping today.
15 in the center had complete addresses. (all shipped)
4 in the right (3 eBay packages plus + 1 package going to Sweden)
1 package I did not have to send because it was for myself.
(not pictured)

Only 24 people took part in this? I would have thought more would just for the card alone

Re: CLOSED - VALIANT WONDERCON EXCLUSIVES OFFER - WITH PHOTO
Bobby, I know. We had 21 unique members including myself who participated. (3 of the packages which are pictured are my eBay sales...)
More than a handful of members missed out because the offer expired before they knew about it.... some didn't check the board, and most were on Easter vacation..etc.
Some members also went to Wondercon thinking VEI would just hand the promo cards to everyone, but VEI did not hand out these cards like that. (The cards are special and are very limited) I talked with a few VF members who were at Wondercon and they didn't get the card. During one part of the day I saw the card given to only 2 individuals on Saturday and that was it.
As far as what VEI had said, the offer was a success because it was done in a short amount of time (started on Monday).
Plus a total of 72 New Amazon reviews were added in just 4 days.
(Prior to the offer, there were 49 total Amazon.com reviews)... which was quite an amazing result.

Elery,
Got mine today!!!!!! What a great thing you and VEI did!!!! I sure hope that this points out to our fellow board members the value in following the boards, paying attention, and then jump with both feet on an opportunity like this if it comes around. VEI demonstrated in spades how much they genuinely appreciate fan support and we should all be ready to acknowledge that should something like this comes our way again in the future. THANKS DR! MIRAGE AND VEI!!! You both rock!!!!!!

This offer would not have been possible without you guys.
Nothing beats the USPS Priority Mail.
You guys got them very quickly. Some members who are in So Cal, got them the next day (Tuesday)
How did the package and the condition of the items arrived?
