I was personally baffled mildly by these entries. Maybe it's crystal clear to everyone else and I need sleep, but...

Quote:
1 Complete Series D

1 Series D box containing the complete series


it just sounds so much like you'd end up with 2 complete sets of series D, only one in separate cases and one as a thinpack or encased in an artbox.

Anyway, is shipping to Hawaii that much more expensive than shipping to Canada? I thought USPS would be cheaper within the US than mailing to foreign parts.

Not sure if I'd want to win, since Karma says I could never win anything else in my life. Still, I hope I do.

A bunch of the latter lettered DVDs are later volumes in the series, so I guess this Grab-Box is intended to lure us to buy the earlier volumes too, so the latter volumes we won won't be entirely confusing. Tricky tricky.

Still, best of luck, I hope everyone wins!

I'm entering too. It's a Funi grab "box" so it's likely I already have at least some of the DVDs in it and I probably already decided not to buy the others, but meh, it doesn't cost anything to play. I'll probably not win anyway.

After all some here want to be bad sports and try to submit multiple entries, others are relying on luck and crossing fingers and other crossable body parts. Somebody's even counting on Birthday luck. The guy up there in the previous post is already blaming Karma and the announcements wont even be made until next week. And Nermal's already practicing a victory dance, taking a page out of Ocho Cinco's playbook, or maybe it's Deion Sanders, or it could even be Balki Bartokomous (although there are probably not a lot who remember who he is. Well, of course not, don't be ridi-cool-us!).

I don't remember where the hell I was going with that. I know I had a punchline originally but I forgot it already so I'll just stop. I think it had something to do with voo doo.. Ah nevermind.

I'd like to say I wish everyone luck, but I wouldn't want you all to have more luck than me so .

I figure I'll give it a shot. I don't really own any Funi DVD's anyway.

It says there's 5.

Every time ANN has a contest, I am reminded of how much I hate living in AK. Sad

*Obligatory comment on how I never got the Tales of the Abyss game I won*

That aside, I hope I win. My anime DVD collection is rather small.

Yeah it'd be a nice win. I'm more hoping maybe a young teenager will win it really. I remember when I was collecting anime in highschool. I saved all the leftover change from my lunch just so I could get the next Fushigi Yugi VHS to come out at the time Anime hyper...I would have killed to win a contest like this back then.

I agree with the above poster ^

Wouldn't hurt if I won, though. I'd probably end up with some doubles, but I have friends who would be more than happy to take them off of me.

I bet you're right. Companies tend to to that whenever they happen to just give stuff away. Anyway, I hope people are only entering once, I'm fighting off the temptation to enter multiple times, so it's only fair.
