I have been a member here for over 3 years and have made a lot of buys, sales, trades, and friends. The site contains some of the most gererous and friendly guys around. Its a blast hanging around here. I've decided that its time to give back so I'm hosting a little contest.
Unfortunately, creativity isn't my strongest point so my idea for a contest is pretty lame. Lame but simple. All you've got to do is guess the number of vintage figures (82-94) I have. I buy and sell figures so that number changes weekly. For fairnes sake I should state Guess how many vintage figures I have in my possession on the date of October 22.
To make it a little easier I should give a few hints:
1. I have at least one of every figure from the 82-86 era.

2. I don't have a single figure from 92-94

3. I do army build, but only in small numbers. MY Cobra army is an elite fighting force.


I will accept only one guess per member and if anyone guesses the same number as another, the first poster gets dibs. Also, if two members tie, the one who overguessed is diqualified. I will accept guesses through October 22nd and then name a winner that weekend. The winner will receive a vintage Joe giftbox. Sounds easy enough. If I'm missing anything feel free to post a question. Let the guessing begin

Very kool giveaway...

I'll go with 319,thanks!

82 It was a good year for Joes and therefore my guess.

427 is always a good number

my guess is... 385

Well if you have every 82-89 thats about 255. so then you add in some 90-92 figs and allow for ELITE troopers ...


363

Congrats man, you won. I have 227 figs. Thanks to everyone for participating, it was kinda cool. I think I'll do this again sometime. Darthdrew, pm me your address and I'll mail out your prize some time next week.

Congratulations on the win :)

I am going to go with 331. Keeping my fingers crossed.

well, I guess I should have looked at the last post before I guessed. I'm a little slow sometimes.

Thanks guys. 213 was a wild guess. Thanks for putting on this contest Grunt! I guess I'll have to follow suit sometime soon.

- Mortar Defense Unit (1984) - complete
- Cobra CLAW (1984) - missing only the bomb
- Croc Master (1987) - C7 w/no accessories, no broken parts (he's flying the CLAW right now)
- Snake Eyes (1989) - C9.5/C10 with BP, sword, and blowgun
