Thanks!!!! We are trying to get this out as soon as possible... Its taking a lot more time and work... BUT.... it will certainly be worth the wait and none of you will be disappointed.

Just finishing up a few tidbits with Bruce. (not exactly a few... but you get the idea)

We are literally discussing this daily :D ... After the bonus is revealed and received by everyone... We will for sure share a story on how this whole thing came about. (Bruce writes a lot better than me... I nominate Bruce to write it... tsk tsk)

Thanks for everyone's patience.... and excitement!

Oh dear, I went and posted a review for the Bloodshot TPB recently but I don't know if I did it in time or not. And when I posted it it said that it had been written by 'Anon'. D'oh!

I'll still hype up the Shadowman and Bloodshot TPBs in the future anyway :)

Literally, Bruce and I were blown away when we saw the item. :o I can't imagine how the other 20 will feel. Its unbelievable!

If I were on some TV crime show, I would be able to use a computer program to figure out exactly what that image is.

Definitely. Those being rewarded are all going to receive 9 tin lunchboxes full of nanites that they can feed into their bloodstream to become real life Bloodshot-type fellows. Cool.

Nah, IMO the Harbinger logo is so stark in contrast that even in 8-bit resolution it'd be highly recognisable.

I tried fiddling about with this image yesterday in an image program and nothing I did to it helped bring out any other sort of more recogniseable image.

Only thing was when I zoomed out of the image a lot it looked a lot like a global map, only the continents weren't applicable to Earth. So that's probably completely wrong.

Only other thing I thought was that (again, when zoomed out) it looks vagely like a face facing right, with shadow under the eyebrows, a prominent chin, a headscarf/bandana and long flowing hair behind it.

Sorry folks! :?

so far the clues are
1) If five is good how great is nine?
2) An image of the item in 8 bit format
3) its smaller then a breadbox

I think it has to be something in regards to the 8 bit Harbinger Wars game ... but that first clue completely trips me up.

Nine is four greater than five. There are four Armorines. Therefore the surprise must be four Armorines penguin statues that come in a breadbox with an 8-bit version of the cover of Armorines #2 on the side. :cloud9:

Well, that's either 10 signatures instead of 9 instead of 5, or something more out there theory wise. I have no clue what this is gonna be but I love it already whatever it is! Huge thanks to Elery (Edit: and Bruce!) and Dino and all of VEI for being awesome!

Thank you so much for including me.

Uk still needs more reviews ~ did you know your password works on Amazon.co.uk and you can copy and past your reviews?

That is an assumption, but it worked vice versa Uk to USA.

THe title review in Uk shows only UK reviews, as in number of people in the UK who have reviewed.
Once opened it links to USA amazon for further reviews ~ this number or star rating does not show on cover results.
Hope that makes sence.

Feel free to copy past (your own review) over here aswell. :thumb:

You're right! the login and pw for Amazon.co.uk is the same as Amazon.com... I think I knew that.

I did the review for X-O Manowar... It said... Thanks! Your review is being processed. Your review will be posted on the site, typically within 48 hours.

Just to confirm, your amazon.com password *does* work on amazon.co.uk as well. I frequently use both sites when looking for various things, using my same account on both sites.

And Phantom's right - on Amazon.co.uk, reviews for products on Amazon.com don't immediately show up, so it'd be well worth logging onto the UK site and copy and pasting your reviews there too. I do that with my reviews anyway, write the review on Amazon.co.uk and then just copy and paste it onto Amazon.com for the same reason.
