OMG A CONCLUSION TO THE CONTEST! NO WAY! *ahem* Yea… Working full time hours while being a full time college student doesn’t exactly leave me with too much free time and if it does, the time is best used to sleep @.@. Anyway, hope all of you had a wonderful holiday break and things went according to your keikaku. Now let’s finish what I should’ve finished LONGGGG ago…
The unknown gunpla and category I prize is…
RG 1/144 Aile Strike Gundam. I bought this Gunpla solely for this giveaway. I didn’t give any hints because I thought the shape/size of the box and the distinct black bottom was quite well known already for the RG series (many people made quite a point about it when the RG RX-78-2 first came out). Not to mention if you knew that it was a RG, you have 25% of getting it right anyway ^^;. Only three people guessed it right though: Vic L, Mark D, and Roy H. And this was their Rock, Paper, Scissor match:
Vic 1. Rock 2. Scissor 3. Paper 4. Scissor 5. Rock
Mark 1. Scissors 2. Paper 3. Rock 4. Rock 5. Scissors
Roy 1. Rock 2. Paper 3. Paper 4. Rock 5. Rock
Andddd… it looks like we have a draw between Roy and Vic. Those two will have to duke it out in yet another RPS match but this time it will be elimination style. First Win takes the prize. I’ll email them about the decisive battle to settle the score. However, we have a solid Category II winner…
Congrats to REEOYUY for winning the SD 00 Raiser! He didn’t get the tie breaker question right… but he also didn’t have to since no one else chose this prize. Auto Win!
And I thank everyone else for participating and waiting for the outcomes this whole time!

What?! Only 3 people knew it was RG Aile Strike? I thought it would have been a dead giveaway. Z has already bought RX-78-2 so that couldn’t have been the prize, and he couldn’t have give the 2 Zaku (Char or Mass Produced) as a MAIN prize of his contest anyway. Since Freedom wasn’t out by that time, the only reasonable answer is Aile Strike. I totally call it in the last post comments when I said, “Would have been easier to just order RG Aile Strike”.

the question was not about guessing the prize..it was the kamen rider boxes..
November 26, 2011 at 3:34 PM
The Tie Breaker actually was to guess this box. The first part of the contest was the Kamen Rider.
November 30, 2011 at 6:35 PM
And to add to my deduction of how easy it is to guess it’s RG Aile Strike, Z said this before on the main contest page: “though I’m pretty confident most of you will like this ^^.” That pretty much throws out the 2 RG Zakus because a lot like Zaku but not most people. And the fact is that RG Aile Strike is really really popular only means it’s more probable as a prize.

I’m not confident with my answer since all RG released so far have the chance. Yeah, it’s obvious it’s RG but still there are 3 possibilities. I even consider maybe Z bought another RX-78 too lol. So yeah, I pick 2nd prize in case my answer is wrong. And it paid off :).
Thanks again Z. I’ve replied your mail.

Thanks! I’ll mail out your prize next week after I’m done with finals if you don’t mind the extra wait ^^;.

Congratulation for the winner(s) :D
I wouldn’t know how RG’s Box looks like just seen the real thing when visit a Hobby store last week hahaha ^^
November 27, 2011 at 3:45 PM
Yeah, I had zero clue. I didn’t put much thought in to it, but oh well. My backlog is too huge as it is! Congrats to the winners. :)
December 2, 2011 at 7:38 AM
i actually refreshed this page like everyday until today thinking that Z haven’t updated…. because of the photo of the box being the same as the previous post.
omg i’ve been duped for like almost one week?
December 3, 2011 at 1:11 AM
I was wondering if that would happen to someone… guess it did! xD
December 3, 2011 at 1:15 AM
Well, looks like I’ll be keeping the RG Aile Strike since the winner (Roy) already bought his on release day so I’ll work out something else with him. Quiet congrats to him and everyone else who have made it this far with this absurd game of mine xD.
Ah… it’s that time of the year again, isn’t it? It is snowing here at last…
December 3, 2011 at 5:27 AM
IIITSS’SSS A GUNDAMU CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
December 3, 2011 at 9:32 AM
After reading your latest blurb, Z, I must say I feel a little envious. *sigh* Oh, well. An e-mail will be on the way soon, by the way.
December 8, 2011 at 5:34 PM

I’ll review in my Hong’s Hobby Garage blog bujt my camera broke. I’ll do the review until the Camera’s finished repairing.
December 9, 2011 at 2:13 AM

December 10, 2011 at 8:21 PM

December 11, 2011 at 4:49 AM
