Dollar Store Iron Man Arc Reactor Contest
- Thread starter Montagar
- Start date
Ok, I have now read this whole thread.
Since I am unable to edit the first post (since it's not mine) I will try to address everything here. (even though a lot of it has been addressed over, and over, again throughout the thread.)
(if Darth comes back and wants to change any of this, that is his right, I'm just trying to get our ducks in a row. )
1. The dead line is the 25. I'm going to make it 12:01am WST (so when the 25th turns into the 26th on the west coast.) that night so you'll have all day on the 25th.(I gave real though about pushing it back for to something like the 31st for my sake, since I'm coming to this so late, but that isn't fair to all of you, so it will stay the 25th.) However, voting may not start on the 26th. My Moms Bday is the 26, and I will be spend my free time with her, so pics will probably be posted on the 27th or 28th. (sorry, but got to be good to Mom.
)
You can join the contest right up to the end. (so none of this, "is it to late for me to join", or "I would have joined but it's to late" business. You have right up to the dead line to join in, so please do so.)
$20. = 20 of any other currency. (there have been like a thousand post asking about this, even though it's ben answered over, and over again.) It's about having 20 cheep items, not about conversion rates. the max for each item is $3.00 The max is limit is $20. (or 20 pounds, etc, etc, etc,) This is excluding tax, shipping, etc.
Unless Darth comes bak, the helmet is off the table as a prize, but if anyone wants to donate anything, large or small, I will take offers through the end of the voting period.
If you post pictures of your entry in this thread, or any other, before the contest is over, I am going to disqualify you. (I'm sorry, but this is an anonymous contest, and posting pics in advance, or revealing withc one is your, is unfair for a number of reasons.)
You need to send me (or Darth if he comes back) your pictures via e-mail to jedimasterjpb7@aol.com, or by PM.
Since I've only received one entry so fair, I'm going to set the limit at 3 pics of your finished reactors. Along with pics of all receipt, and either a pic of all the parts before building, or some build pics. (the
receipts, and parts pics are for proof, they will not be posted in the voting thread, but they are required.)
If you send in more then 3 pics of your reactor, that is fine, but I will pic the 3 that get used. (I am a photographer by trade, so I know what I'm doing) If you send in less the 3 of your finished item I will post what you send in, but your are doing yourself a disservice.
I will allow collages, but I will not require them. (some folks don't even no how to post pics, I'm not going to ask them to edit them) However, there can be no more then three pics of your finished reactor in the collage, and the collage will count for as many pics are in it. (i.e. if there are 2 pics in your collage, you can still enter another single pic, if you have 3 pics in your collage, then your done. except of course for your "proof" pics.)
Those are the main things I can think of right now, but feel free to ask any questions, I am here to help.
On, a side not, their have been a lot of folks saying they can't find anything at the store to work with. No offence, but that shouldn't be a problem. These aren't Prop, or even hardware stores, they are dollar stores. You can't expect to go in and buy exactly what you want. it's about MacGyver build! I find it helps if you don't draw up your plans in advance, just go and let the parts talk to you. The guy that won the LS contest, made an amazing saber, the blew peoples mind. Then after the contest was over we all found out that it was made of placematts, cardboard tubes, Pens, and other things, you would have never guest it was made of in the end. I kept hoping some one would do a chocolate saber, but no-one did. (maybe they will in this years contest. ) I know it's a little late for a pep talk, but i just thought I should put it out there.
Feel free to start sending your entries any time.
Oh, and once again, Darth, I hope you, and your Dad are Ok, and feel free to come back any time, I'm just keeping yoru seat worm.

It may be worth posting this outside of this thread (maybe in the Junkyard?) as there are probably members who aren't watching this thread or are otherwise unaware of the situation who would be keen to donate something.

I am indeed back. I am terribly sorry that I've been unable to post back for a while. I was out of the country for 9 days on a medical mission trip to El Salvador and got sick while on the trip. I have been sick the last few days and have been recovering.
Thank you SO SO much Jason1976 for keeping things moving in my absence. I would have never imagined my summer turning out to be so hectic. You can continue to email entries to Jason as well as myself. My email address is
Pkmnjunky7@aol.com
All of the guidelines Jason has posted are correct. Follow those and feel free to PM questions. Once the deadline comes to pass, all received entries will be posted and opened up for voting to TheRPF community.
Once again, sorry for my absence, I'm just glad to have the ability to access the internet again.
PS: The prize I offered is still on the table. :-D

Epic comeback
Just one question, what about the entries that were already sent to jason1967, will they be forwarded or should they be re-sent?
Assuming Jason1967 has no problem with posting them for me, they should be fine. If he would rather everyone send them to me I am fine with this as well. Either way there will be a thread with all the entries in it.
Welcome back Darth. Sorry to hear you where sick. It's nice to have you back.
I just forwarded the entries I have receive so far to you (3 of them is all I have recieved, and that's what I have forwarded), and if it's ok with you, from now on, everyone can send their entries to you. (just too keep things orderly, and to make sure no-one falls through the cracks.)
I was happy to help out, and would be happy to help in any way you might need in the future.

as much as I wanted to do this contest (it only would have cost $15 for a 2.5" deep mark1 arc) I won't be able to enter this contest.
between procrastination, work, commissions, and a broken wrist, I don't have time to finish it within the next 8 hours.
sorry to say it but take me off the list... :unsure
