Blakstone Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Lord Tyrus, last year the first batch was not mailed out until Jan 22. But the last regular winners did not ship out until Feb 4. The extra winners took even longer to get their prizes. But the thing is that the Mods do this stuff in their spare time. It is a massive project to both run this raffle, sort all the various components, and to coordinate international shipping to so many winners. It takes time. I am not watching my mailbox. It was just be a very pleasant surprise when it does come. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Oh, I completely agree, the mods do a great job, I struggle myself with sticking to contest deadlines etc., fitting them in with my schedule, and who's to complain about free LEGO? The mods are fantastic for even doing this contest. It's just that the thread looked completely dead, and I was worried it had continued somewhere else... (It has happened to me before ) Quote
Mofo Jones Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 The raffle thread always has a slew of activity in three stages: Entries being posted, winners selected, and then when people start receiving their LEGO. I won last year too and I think it was late February or early March when I received my prize. Quote

Sir Brickalot Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Any updates on shipping? Not to sound impatient, but... Quote
Peppermint_M Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 This is a mamoth task that has multiple prizes and international destinations. All run by one great guy who also has a job and life outside of LEGO fan forums. We all want our exciting prizes and they'll arrive when they arrive as a nice little surprise one day. Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 ^ Of course I respect that, Peppermint_M. I know how much work CopMike puts into these raffles, I just need to be more patient Quote

SteampunkDoc Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Yes! Thank you CopMike for sacrificing all the time and money necessary to do this for the community. It's a great work, and I don't think we appreciate you enough. Once again, I congratulate all the winners, and hope that the respective postal services all do a swift and loss-free job. (Also hoping I'm in the next batch of shipments. ) Quote
MAB Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks copmike, I can only imagine the fun of posting that many parcels in one day. :-) Quote
Slurpifier Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Thank you very much CopMike! Usually is hard to post that many packages, especially in a day! Quote
Rolli Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Some things are worth waiting for (I hope )! Most definitely! I guess I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we are grateful for the work you're putting into this every year again and again! Thank you! Looking forward to receiving post the next days...
