MAB Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Well, that's aftermarket value. The cost to TLG is whatever plastic and printing costs the figures have. So, $3-4 US per figure, plus the Unikitties. Cost to TLG is much lower than that. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I'd imagine the community team provides these figures at no cost to CopMike. Just like they will give sets to certain reviewers for free, in exchange for a review to help get the word out. Why do you think so many people are trying to have the next big LEGO blog?? Quote

jluck Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I hope I win too! Edit: Anyone know how CopMike affords all these figures? Does he purchase them himself? (Or are some of them from TLG?) Values on Bricklink: Prize A = ~$64 Prize B = ~$31 Prize C = ~$73 Prize D = ~$49 (Didn't realize which Batman that was. ) Prize E = ~$50 Prize F = ~$50 Prize G = ~$25 Assuming there's 24 of each prize, the total would be around $8208. Yeah... Plus shipping to all 168 winners! Instead of prying into copMike's financial records, I'll just say thank you copMike, your sacrifice (including the time commitment) is extremely appreciated by all here. Quote

bungeshea Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Can somebody do it tomorrow? I'll be away from my computer and it's reaaaaaly hard to copy and paste on my phone. It's easy... just go to eurobricks.com/sieg/cal in your phone's web browser. Then bookmark it or something. Quote
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 It's easy... just go to eurobricks.com/sieg/cal in your phone's web browser. Then bookmark it or something. No, I can go to the page on my phone. The copy and paste is hard because the calendar reads weird in my phone's browser. Quote

AoNZ Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Day 4 winners: 4MKJosh AAoNZ Kristel Peppermint_M AndersI VBBN mechamike A-AoNZ!!! Haha this reminded me of the Key and Peele - Substitute Teacher video where he calls out the role and says: "A-Aron" instead of "Aaron". So cool Prize B! I haven't any Chima figures but I've been watching the show heaps recently so great to finally get some! Huge thanks to CopMike and I will check back daily to see the winners entries for entertainment! Good Luck All! Quote
rodiziorobs Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 I was really hoping for those Unikitties, but am thrilled with the SW figs, as well! That, and my entry picture being put on the calendar all on the same day? Whooah awesome! A Big Thanks to CopMike and Sinner. Quote
Mr Meleca Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 WE WON yesterday!!!! my daughter did send a message to CopMike and I am going to reply it for the others working on it: "Thanks for choose me. I am really happy to be chosen. I jumped and I hugged my mom when I knew about the news. I got all tangled up when I was choosing how to do it, but then I had an idea: I could make Father Christmas coping the microword of LEGO. I am going to open my little present in Christmas. Happy Christmas Ines" Quote
