well, he said if the winner wished, he could include the boxes and instructions with no additional charge.

A few questions. Are these all loose, or are the packages included? Does anyone have even the slightest idea about the possible "worth" of this collection? For those to whom space truly is an issue, can you give us an approximate idea of how many boxes or so this collection is going to take up? Thanks Moshii for answering the first question. As for the actual worth of the collection, it's really hard to say. Something's "worth" is really only determind by what people are willing to pay for it. I tried to come up with a number I felt was fair to me and fair to everyone else. A lot of members here have expressed their concern that I won't be making enough money from this venture but I felt the number I came up with was what the collection is worth. As for space, the collection will take up 4 six-foot tall bookshelves. As for boxes, half of the collection is in storage right now and about half isn't so I'm not exactly sure but I'm guessing 5-6 very large boxes.

huh, i didnt think a day like this would come, its shocking. being that many zoids to get at once, to me would be take away some of the joy in collecting. you see a zoid on a website like yours and you say oh man i would like to get that zoid and this one and that one and oh maybe even these two. this is like putting a cheat code in a video game and you beat all the levels already you know what i mean. then you say to your friend i beat this game, but you havent even played it. this is truely the prize of all prizes! ! hope you find the right house for you two! i will think about enter though.

You know, honestly, this is kinda a dream for my inner geek/dork/doorstop. If I had known about this when originally interested in zoids, I'd have been brown-nosing the entire time. Heh heh.

Hmmm... I wonder if the winner would turn around and re-sell some of the Zoids? I mean, I know there are probably people like me who would like a few Zoids from this, not all of them. Whoever wins this, I'd gladly buy the Heavy Arms Konig Wolf , Black Redler, and others! Let me know. Pheno: I guess I have to respect ur decision. You are a better person than I am, to say bye-bye to something you've collected for so long. Takes a lot of... guts,I guess.

If I won, there'd be plenty being sold/traded/auctioned off/thrown out window
Hah. Right. The chances are basically against me here.

Whoa, this is unexpected. I was actually thinking of selling off my older toys like my Ninja Turtles and possibly my Jurassic Park stuff. I may be moving this year or next and I need the space.
Regrettably I cannot enter this contest due to the space issue.. but I wish all who enter the best of luck.

I used to belong to your forum before and have always admired your site/collection. I found out about your raffle from Shortpacked. I have a question would accept checks? I'd send you a money order but the fact is I'm currently sicker than a junkyard dog and I don't know if I'll be able to get to somewhere that sells money orders before the cutoff date.
Whoever ends up winning I hope they appreciate the collection, not just try to make a quick buck by reselling it. It's kind of funny because I was just thinking about Zoids recently and how I wish they were still available in the states without having to import. I miss (as do most here I'm guessing) hunting and finding the Zoids to add to an awsome mecha army.

I would totally be selling alot of that stuff...and, the fact that they belonged to the almighty phenotype makes them all the more valuable.

Yeah, I guess I could take a check. PM me for my address. Looking through these posts I'm seeing a lot of people saying they wouldn't want the entire collection. My advice would be to get together with 4 or 5 other people, form a group, buy a bunch of slots together under the group name and then split them up if/when you win. You'll increase your chances of winning and you won't have to worry about what to do with the whole collection.

Do I or don't I.....part of me would love to enter this contest, the other part says there is an almost zero shot of taking anything home what with all the slots being bought up by the same people. Oh well, gotta pay to play I guess....just some people have alot more to play with I guess we should look at this as helping Pheno and Bethany get started on their future together and not as a contest Two things have crossed my mind though......1. I hope whoever wins will have more appreciation for what they have just received than to turn around and scalp them, and 2. I am hoping that some of the Guests that have been showing up out of the woodwork for the goodies will take the time to become a Member of this community here at the forum Best of luck to you, Pheno, may you and Bethany find much happiness together!

I agree with alot of you,
Whoever wins, be very thankful and take good care of all the Zoids. Cause you will be reciving the prize of a lifetime and u shouldnt just toss it. Heck, if I won, I would cherish them FOREVER. But im not entering. So for the person that wins, TAKE CARE OF THE THINGS THAT PHONO HAS TAKEN CARE OF AND CHERISHED FOR YEARS! OR I WILL SEND MY LIGERS AFTER YOU!!!!
