In fact, in order not to be singled out as a bitter, filthy recluse, I will donate a great piece to the prize package. So if you are interested, go to any of the following sites and register your name for a kick-ass prize package. They guys do some awesome toy blogs and know their stuff. I myself have learned nothing in my nearly 50 years of collecting figures (obviously) so what do I know....except for envy to be excluded because the contest is only for those living in the continental USA, the only place that really matters in this world. But it's not that I am bitter. It's not that. Okay that's all it is. Look at that kid. I was into action figures before any of you were born ('67) Damn punk kids.
So if you meet their criteria, go get in on the fun. Let me know how it felt to see someone else blog about their prize package and remark on the item you included. Might be a dud, might be a home run but whichever it was, it would be great just to play and be included in the fun. That sounded a little bitter, didn't it?
I am just goofing. I am not bitter. Just jaded and disappointed. But check out these blogs. All take great care to include only the best pictures and information about some of the coolest figures out there. Often you can get a tutorial about how to take better action figure pictures, even with a cell phone or IPad mini. That is information I know I can use. My pictures can always be improved and I already know a little about photography myself.
In order to be eligible for he prize you have to register at one or all of the following sites. I am sure it will be worth the time because your chances will go down with each subsequent contest. As soon as everyone sees the cool package these guys can put together, there will be a stampede to register. Unless you live where it's cold, usually. Then you can just swallow your bitterness and push it down really deep down into your soul where it can only fester and grow. This must be how North Korea feels. I am already a pariah to my friends and family so why not the toy collecting community as well? I am the Elephant Man of toy collecting. Look away. I am hideous.

Arggh, I hate those "no Canucks allowed" contests and giveaways. And don't give me the legal mumbo-jumbo nonsense either, because if some organizations can do it, ALL of them can do it.
Oh Cal. You're not a bitter, filthy recluse. I'm sure you run a damp washcloth over yourself every once in a while. Don't you?
You don't need a contest to be a winner. And Debra's right. You at least wash from the shoulders up. We can see that.
Okay so I am not filthy. But I am still bitter. Can I still be bitter?
Cal, you're the first person that came to a lot of our mind's when the contest was first posted. In fact, short of spamming your comment section with frantic, "Cal, please contact me," posts, I was looking for a way to reach out to you in advance to see if you wanted to be a part of it all.
You, and all of Canada are definitely an exception to the rule as far as I'm concerned - Since you do represent the entire country as a distinguished leader.
Please do come to The Toy Box and throw your name in for the prize, and if you are wanting to contribute a prize as you said, send me an e-mail at thetoybox1138@gmail.com so that I can get you my mailing address. Everyone has sent me their contributions so that I can bundle them together.
I hope you know I was just goofing on you guys. I just thought the post would be goofy and entertaining.
I will look for something great and contact you and then mail it to you. I understand I can't win but I want to pass it forward for all the other things I have gained from my association with you guys.
Yeah, I got the humor from it. It was a funny read, but I did want you to know that you were the first person pretty much everyone thought about, and I honestly did look for a way to contact you - short of spamming your comment section.
