It's all there right in front of you, giving the total details of the reward. All you have to do is put your 8 bit glasses on and read it

It IS the letter which will accompany the reward for each of the 33 members. We can't give you a better clue than THIS by putting it RIGHT THERE

I think it says I'm getting something.

Or... I'm getting arrested.

Could go either way...

Let you put your mind at ease.......You ARE getting something and you are NOT getting arrested

We're all getting Get Out of Jail Free cards!

About the only thing I can tell from the 8-bit letter is that Elery's name is last.

You just need to fine tune those 8 bit glasses of yours a little more to learn everything the letter openly explains

[drmirage]

We need these?

will we get our XO toys before the scavenger hunt contest ends?

will we get our XO toys before the scavenger hunt contest ends?

That's a good question! Some of us potential entrants are looking for all the points we can get.

[drmirage]

We are doing our best to fulfill the orders. So hopefully all Round 3 items and NYCC orders will be delivered before mid November.

Wow! Wasn't expecting it that soon! Don't kill yourselves before the holidays. I'm a patient guy.

That soon would be awesome indeed, but I agree that you guys shouldn't kill yourselves to get it done. Cause if you kill yourselves, then there can't be a Round #4!

Agreed. It would be nice to have the bonus points for the scavenger hunt, but not if it's going to be a tremendous PITA for you both!

Bruce and I have talked about Round #3 even as we were finishing Round #2.

(How many participants? Would we cap it? What would the qualifiers have to do to get the extra? What else would VEI give us to help make Round #3 bigger and better than Round #2? It was a subject we discussed by phone and/or email at least each day)

I'm sure Bruce write a back story after everything has been revealed / delivered.

For those who want to know the back story of Round #2. Click on the link below.

Thanks for everyone's patience.

What we do is all for the terrific fans here. Round #3 was the culmination of a plan which has been in effect from the beginning of round #1, with each one being better than the last. We wanted to cap all our efforts off with something that we felt might be the most fun promo yet, the Photo Scavenger Hunt. This project has a special meaning to us because it's different, because we're being allowed to debut a brand new/unseen/unannounced book to the winners, and because it's the last thing we're doing........

After round #3 is delivered and the prize for the photo contest is delivered, I will use #700 to give the whole backstory to these. It's pretty interesting and will make provide a lot of insight into all that goes on behind the scenes for these projects

Another big thank you guys. You both really deserve an appearance in one of the titles for all your efforts

A year or so ago I spoke to Bruce through emails after buying some Valiants from him, and he put me on to this forum and said what a great bunch of people you all where, and he wasn't wrong, this is a very welcoming and close knit community.

That was just before round 2, so I put my hand up to participate with round 2 and really enjoyed being part of it all.
All this year I promised myself to do more reviews but always found excuses to neglecting to do so until Bruce and Elery ramped up Round 3, and I found out we only had three weeks to do another 20 reviews, challenge accepted.

When I saw the photo scavenger hunt, I thought, "well in for a penny, in for a pound" and I have been having fun with that and seeing everybody else's stuff.

I could not possibly imagine what amount of time and effort Bruce and Elery put in to get all this stuff organised. but I would like to say it is very much appreciated, and how glad I am to have come into contact with you guys. If all your help has been so much appreciated by me, I can only imagine how much you guys are helping other people out as well.

Thank you

Thanks for the kind words Peter and everyone else. Elery and I have truly enjoyed doing our small bit to help VEI grow and have really loved getting you different things like the signed Harbinger Wars 1:50 variant, signed exclusives, VFVSS books embossed, and even the special unannounced/unsolicited book which is the prize for the photo scavenger hunt winners. It has ALWAYS been about helping the fans of VEI get recognized and rewarded with different items for their continuing support of VEI in so many way, be it Youtube videos, TPB reviews, or helping grow Ed's subscribers. We have always been humbled by the expression of appreciation from members since YOU have always been why we have done this

Haven't made any mention of this lately so thought I would provide an update to let you know we certainly have not forgotten the winners.

There are 8 components to the "extra" which is being put together. 4 of those are currently in hand in Vermont. Of the rest, 2 are currently in the mail to me, 1 other one has promised to ship by the end of this week, and the final component is scheduled to ship by the end of next week.

VERY anxious to get these assembled and shipped to the 33 winners who did all those reviews. The old saying is, "The wait will be worth it" and I genuinely believe that for this Thank everyone for their patience
