UPDATE: We have a winner. Click to see who won!
Welcome to BrickPOP’s first ever contest — Greed is Good. We believe this is the first opportunity on the planet to win a complete set of Series 3 minifigures. Almost no stores in the world have these yet, and yet you have a chance to have a complete set right now!!!
Finding a huge cache of Series 3 minifigs at our local store on what appears to be the first day they are available anywhere in the world was pretty damn lucky for us. And as BrickPOP readers you may get to benefit from our luck (and greed). Here’s how it works.
TO ENTER THE CONTEST YOU MUST DO *ALL* OF THE FOLLOWING
- Press this button to follow BrickPOP on Twitter (you must press “Follow” when you get to our Twitter page):
- Press this button to tweet to your followers: Tweet (Your tweet must contain this text: “My new favorite Lego blog is http://BrickPOP.com #lego”
- You must have at least 20 followers and 20 tweets. (No spam accounts please.)
- Enter by 11:59pm on Monday November 22, 2010, US Pacific time. (right before it turns into Tuesday).
We will pick ONE winner from our followers. We will verify that you’re following our Twitter account AND have tweeted the above tweet exactly as we wrote it. We’ll let you know on the blog and on Twitter. Once you give us your address your complete set of figs will be on its way to you. The figs will have been opened of course since there are no more identifying bar codes. If you want to see what they look like, just check out our unboxing post.
The contest is open to anyone, even including people that called us assholes for buying too many minifigs. Employees of BrickPOP industries are not eligible.

To win a set I need to start a Twatter account? Balls to that. I’ll just buy them off Argos like everyone else.
It kind of bugs me having to use the American spelling of favourite.
hey, they just said you had to *include* exactly that text – didn’t say you couldn’t add an extra u
yes. you may use a U.
great contest! thanks!
I’m in! Also Hillel, crazy I was listening to you on TED just moments before I saw this on BrickPop and we posted your talk on our LEGO blog.
I’m in! Wow – I just barely crested the 20 followers, 20 tweets threshold. Keeping my fingers crossed.
BTW – I’ll post to SeaLug, but FWIW – as of 9AM 11/19, there are no series-3 minifigs at the BURIEN Fred Meyers. Just me, looking hard for them, and employees that didn’t know what I was talking about….
I’ve entered, may as well give it a shot!
I somehow missed that there’s a commenting feature on your blog (is it new?). I wish you all had a contact form or emails as I’d love to suggest an RSS feed option to follow your blog. As it is, I missed the Greed is Good contest, which I would have loved to enter, but it’s hard keeping up with many sites without a Reader and Twitter makes no sense to me.
I don’t think you’re assholes for buying 11 cases or whatever. They will probably be as plentiful as S2.
Thank you.
