This is it. Time for another giveaway/contest to celebrate this blog hitting 1 million views and we’re gonna do it Dannychoo.com style. Let’s get right to the details and PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
The game: Very easy and simple. Guess the total (yes, including shipping) IN YEN for my 2007 Gunpla loot in the photo above. You have ONE GUESS. It is possible to get the exact amount but you can be off by 1000 yen either way. Everything you see that is “new in package” is included in the loot. The person who gets (closest to) the amount wins.
IGNORE THESE ITEMS: The Wii and nunchuck, and the two packs of Gundam markers to the left- they aren’t part of the shipment. Do not count the GFF in the case (I know some of you will be extra careful and will probably ask about it). Remember, only count the items still in package.
RULES
- Anyone is welcome to join. Be it regulars or lurkers. Prizes are also the same.
- Send your answer to zyuan3618@hotmail.com.
- Remember, answer has to be in yen and with the shipping included as well.
- You don’t have to tell me how much the shipping is but you need to factor it in to give me your final answer.
- Read everything carefully. Look at the photos carefully.
- You may ask questions if something doesn’t make sense but I might not answer.
- If you ask something that can be answered from reading this post then I’m booting you from the contest ^^;.
- You have until 11:59 PM (23:59) on Monday to submit an answer.
HINT: I got 20% off on the Gunplas. Everything came in one box.

PRIZE
XN Raiser with Hobby Japan(I have three copies at the end ^^; One for myself, sold one awhile back, and friend bought me another one) AND choose either the SD Exia or SD 00 Gundam. UPDATE: If you already have any of these, then I can give you something else… maybe another HGUC or something. Figure it out aftereward ^^;.
SPECIAL
If you can get the EXACT AMOUNT within the same day of this posting, you get my Master Grade Infinite Justice.
For the record, I always figure out how much my order and shipping cost is before I place it so I know exactly how much I am spending beforehand. The above loot took me around two hours to figure everything out… and I was spot on with the actual invoice.
Arms installation is complete – good luck!
November 28, 2009 at 12:45 PM
Okay, I’ll bite: It’s the equivalent of a PSP and Gundam vs. Gundam NEXT PLUS bundled together.
Thank you, thank you all… Now where’s my MG Wing ver. Ka and Zaku II ver. 2.0 in disguise as an XN Raiser and Hobby Japan mag? :P
November 28, 2009 at 12:50 PM
it has to be in yen D: that make it alot harder……
November 28, 2009 at 1:51 PM
Just emailed my guess to Z, cheers everyone!
November 28, 2009 at 4:54 PM
Errr Uh, I was expecting that the Wii or the nunchuck as a prize,guess Im not entering anyhoo, GL all
November 28, 2009 at 5:24 PM
Just sent my guess to Z. I didn’t add shipping though…
November 28, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Just mailed my answer to you Z, good luck to all and lets win that Justice xD
P.S. Z what will you do if multiple people get it right on the first day? (right on the amount I mean)
November 28, 2009 at 6:07 PM
I just got my XN Raiser 2 days ago… ^^;
And I already had 2 those SDs built…
So, I’m aiming for the ultimate prize, Infinite Justice.
Any chance you can tell if you use EMS or SAL shipping?
November 28, 2009 at 6:17 PM
Most likely SAL cause Z is cheap. Hahha I’ve entered, And most likely the VERY first person to send in the answer would win the prizes e-mails are timed and dated. The chances of a few people sending in an answer exactly at the same time is pretty crazy.
Anyways badluck … erh I mean good luck everyone. Hahha I’m juss kidding. Good luck all. :)
November 28, 2009 at 6:42 PM
IT’S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 28, 2009 at 7:21 PM
Never mind, ignore my previous question. ^^
November 28, 2009 at 8:09 PM
Although i have been following this site for ages, this is my first time posting a reply…good luck everyone =D
November 28, 2009 at 8:53 PM
I did it I sent a answer! Good Luck to everyone!
(your going to need it….)
November 28, 2009 at 9:04 PM
Siroh, maybe I SHOULD throw in a new MG Wing Ver. Ka or MG Turn A just to get you to seriously join one of these contests one of these days… hmm…
L, that makes it a lot easier actually o_o
Gunstray, you want the wii nunchuck? o_0 I’ll get you one if you win xD.
Saito, to give the winner a “first come first serve” basis is a bit unfair seeing how we are in different time zones and such so anyone who gets it right on “saturday” will go into sudden death.
Chris, figured it out?
I’ve just looked through my emails… there are at least double the amount of entries than replies here. Goes to show how many people lurk on this blog xD. I don’t mind though. I won’t comment on the answers except many asked about what shipping I used- that is for you to decide and figure into the answer.
Oh yea, don’t worry about whether I received your email or not. There is nothing in my spam folder. If you’ve sent it, I should’ve received it provided that you didn’t get an “undelivered notification”.
November 28, 2009 at 9:11 PM
By the way, did anyone posted a link to this blog in a bmw forum (of all places)? I’m getting some traffic from there but I’m not allowed to see the actual thread despite joining o_0
November 28, 2009 at 9:22 PM
*comes out from lurking*
So i guess no one won yet XD
November 28, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Not lurking! Submitted my answer, thanks for the contest!
November 28, 2009 at 10:05 PM
The number I came up with seems way big, even knowing that 100 yen is close to a single dollar. But that’s probably because I’ve never ordered anything in yen before. British pounds yes, but never in yen.
So I guess no MG Infinite Justice review ever if someone gets it…
November 28, 2009 at 10:57 PM
this seems pretty fun, i dont really care about the book or the kit though.
November 29, 2009 at 12:26 AM
Z: Not that it’s a guarantee I’d actually get first place (though maybe I have a chance of winning your spare 1/100 MG RX-78-2 ver. G30th around the time you review the 1/144 RX-78-2 ver. G35th… Would it surprise you if Bandai would churn out either one sooner or later?)… But putting that aside, remember that I once tried entering honorarily? The (incomplete) result of which I mentioned on your last entry. I wasn’t particularly proud with the photos, so I’ll start over again and see what I can do, if I ever get to it. *shrug*
November 29, 2009 at 1:19 AM
@Z: Yeah…though I’m not sure, you sort of said it indirectly in your post already. ^^
More emails than replies here… lol
The same thing happens at DC.com when it comes to giveaways, you’ll see more than double or triple the usual comments. Haha…goes to show my comment that, part of the traffic is due to giveaways, is right.
November 29, 2009 at 1:31 AM
The contest itself is not that difficult provided that you have an idea how much they are locally then just the matter of the exchange rates…… It’s the darn shipping that’s killing me cause I really have no idea how much is shipping there… ^^
November 29, 2009 at 2:37 AM
What happens if someone uses different emails to submit more than one answer?
November 29, 2009 at 5:50 AM
Oh yeah. Totally forgot the time zones. Hmm…
This reminds of “The Price is Right.” The final round is always so intense.
November 29, 2009 at 5:52 AM
Z, i just mailed you my answer. forgot to mention who am i in the email, mike is me and me is mike :P
November 29, 2009 at 7:57 AM
ei z i just mailed you my answer. its just for fun. too busy at school though. gotta go lurk a lot these days and prioritize school…….
GOOD LUCK Y’ALL!!!!!!!!
XD
November 29, 2009 at 8:13 AM
I’ve just emailed my answer Bro :) thanks..
this is the first time I participate in your competition, so excited :)
November 29, 2009 at 8:21 AM
@Z
THE MG ACGUY REVIEW!!!! THE EVER-SO-CUTE MG ACGUY!!!!
November 29, 2009 at 8:45 AM
Well, something to get me out of lurking this site. I’m entering the contest just for kicks. Hope I can get the right answer though >.>
I’m finishing up my answer as I type this. Getting the cost of the figure’s isn’t the problem, its the shipping for me. But hey, if its not right, well….I’m horrible with overseas shipping costs. lol. Should have my answer by the end of the day.
November 29, 2009 at 11:23 AM
shinra, I wouldn’t know xD. I am hoping no one would stoop that low.
ercjohn, it’ll come… eventually xD.
Well, no one got the exact amount within the first day (24 hours up to this point) so unfortunately, the MG Infinite Justice is lost ^^;. I have around ~60 replies at this point.
Good luck to all of you…
*maniacal laughter*
November 29, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Ah~ is that so… well, the exact amount is pretty hard to get anyway. ^^;
November 29, 2009 at 8:38 PM
ehh…I bet you rigged it…there’s probably an action base or something hidden under those MG boxes and when no body gets it you’ll pull it out and laugh in our faces. xD
But I’m no good at this stuff, I suck at math and whatnot and adding shipping plus 20% off and…etc…
So good luck, everyone!
Aw, man…me want Justice…Justiiccceeeee……..
November 29, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Someone will be heartbroken when I announce the answer xD
Chris, you think so? I thought it was easy ^^;
Lelouch, naw… that would just be too mean
November 29, 2009 at 11:43 PM
@z
who will be heartbroken? haha. i just made a random 5 digit number hoping to get the 1 number out of a lot of numbers. haha. what a mess.
November 29, 2009 at 11:53 PM
I just sent in my answer…
Dang! I want that Infinite justice >.<
November 29, 2009 at 11:56 PM
oh crap… I just realised I forgot to take something into consideration…
November 30, 2009 at 12:01 AM
do we take care of the shipping if we win?
November 30, 2009 at 12:03 AM
crap, i was 2 mins late~
November 30, 2009 at 12:39 AM
Oh my, looks like you did another giveaway though it looks like I’m too late for this one. Ah, there goes the chances for the MG Infinite Justice. ^^;
At any rate, I also sent in my answer, albeit one of the later senders though since I was kinda occupied for the past 2 days.
November 30, 2009 at 1:47 AM
Heartbroken? Hehe…that means somebody got a pretty close answer, huh?
But actually, it’s not a bad thing your Infinite Justice is secure because I remembered mentioning to you in a mail before I was hoping to see you build your pink Gundam. ^^;
November 30, 2009 at 2:13 AM
@chris
is IJ pink??? i thought its somewhat red….. XD
November 30, 2009 at 2:15 AM
ahhhhh
i’m late to see this post!!!!
ohhh is there still enough time? T_T
November 30, 2009 at 6:48 AM
@eyeshield30: Nope. ^^; From your comment, you’re already 2 hours and 15 minutes late.
November 30, 2009 at 7:06 AM
its already monday????
November 30, 2009 at 8:40 AM
Wait a sec…my mistake, eyeshield30. There’s still time. ^^;
It’s until Monday night before Tuesday.
November 30, 2009 at 11:35 AM
Z, I sent my answer already before I posted this reply up. Can you check again (because I replied to your previous sent e-mail)?
November 30, 2009 at 12:50 PM
I’ll check my email tonight since it is the last day. So far I’ve at least 70 or so entries (the range of answers is amazing). It’s still not too late to just randomly submit me a number!
November 30, 2009 at 1:38 PM
I hope I win, it took me a long to calculate.
November 30, 2009 at 3:35 PM
ei z everyone gets to have a 1/15120 chance of winning right? haha. that’s some odd chance of winning. XD
November 30, 2009 at 9:01 PM
I know it’s late but…
By 20% off, did ya mean 20% of each individual gundam; 20% off all the gundam; 20% percent off eveyhting you bought; 20% percent off shipping the stuff???
November 30, 2009 at 9:02 PM
whoops^^
20% percent
