Before I reveal the winner, here are the links to Round 1 and Round 2 for references:

The question posted up was:

Guess how much Nendoroid Kureha cost me. (Including Shipping cost)

And the hints given.. I think the last hint was the biggest clue!

• I bought her from Hobby Search.
• I had some member points to spare, hence Kureha came with cheap shipping.
• I live in Singapore.
• Damage for this loot is around 50 SGD.

And the answer is 3,250 yen!

The answers given by our Round 2 Participants:

1. Optic: 4,000 yen
2. Blowfish: 3,358 yen
3. phossil: 3,330 yen
4. GNdynames: 4,383 yen

It was indeed a close one between Blowfish and phossil ><. But yes, phossil has won for our 1st Figurine Giveaway – A Figma!

And it’s Figma Tsuruya School Festival Maid Version with a Mikuru Hair Part. Woots!

Congratulations phossil! I will be contacting you very soon for your details so that Hobby Search will be able to send you your prize ^^.

Hints given were:

• It cost me lesser than 30 SGD
• Only 1 item
• Browse through the Lootings section to help you out
• You don’t have to guess exactly what I bought, a general term is allowed for the answer (eg: Textbook)

The answer is:

A Japanese Magazine.

I thought it was fairly obvious since I did tell you guys to look at the Lootings Section for clues. Haha. Why is “Otaku Encyclopedia” such a popular answer?! XD. M saw the post before it was up and he guessed it right on his first time -_-. Of course writers aren’t allowed to participate =P.

And here are the people who will  proceed to Round 2. I will start Round 2 this coming Saturday, 15 August 2009 (GMT 8+). Please do take note of the timezone!

3 of you guys guessed it right. Clearly I forgot to state that you can only provide 1 answer, but phossil will get to proceed to Round 2! Optic is our lucky wildcard and he too, will proceed to Round 2..

For those who did not get to proceed to Round 2, have no fear, I have a 2nd Figurine Giveaway coming up! ^_^

One Figma will be given to 1 lucky reader. (Not shown in the picture! Just a teaser =P)

For this giveaway, I will be making it easier for all the readers to participate. I know there are a lot of lurkers out there who probably gave the idea up of taking part in the giveaway if you don’t fulfill several of the rules ^_^”.

Edit: Forgot to include that this Giveaway is sponsored by Hobby Search. They’re my first ad client! Banzai for them! ^^.

Status: Ended. Results soon!

Len teasing you with some figmas ^_^

The Figurine Giveaway will be a figma. Yes the figma has been chosen but I won’t reveal it until we have a winner! Surprises are always good right?

Do follow me at Twitter, I’ll update twitter once I start the Giveaway! ^^.

This giveaway is proudly sponsored by my ad client, Hobby Search. Do check out their site to buy more figurines from them =P.

Edit: It’s 7th of August, not 5th, I messed up. LOL.

Mini Giveaway #1 is a mini contest sponsored by zenical where we want to thank our readers for visiting zotaku and commenting. Of course a simple question will be asked and readers who wanted to participate have to try their luck in “guessing” their answer.

So unfortunately after looking through at the people who participated..

No one got the answer correct ^_^”

Didn’t know what GNdynames was intending to post as his answer since he posted in USD, but I corrected to SGD for him, but clearly he wanted to change the numbers to SGD too? ^_^”. As for Blowfish and phossil who took part, your answers are wayy too off XD.

The answer is actually 116 SGD. It’s a 1/7 Alter Subaru Nakajima figurine which was just released last Monday. I get my figurine from TnT.

And if you actually clicked the TnT link, the site shows that Subaru is selling at a price of 137 dollars. You must be thinking that my price of 116 dollars is wrong. Actually we get to buy figurines at a preorder pricing – if we preorder before the closing date.

Take a look at the screenshot of the email I received from TnT for the preorder pricing of Subaru.

Do keep checking back zotaku for our Figurine Giveaway this coming August 2009!

This being the first giveaway on zotaku, I do not know the response I will receive. Hopefully all readers reading this now will just bother to try XD. Prizes and shipping are sponsored by me, so do not worry, you don’t have to pay a single cent to participate! Everyone, anyone can take part in our mini giveaway ^_^.

Here are the prizes the winner can choose from.

The prizes

• Code Geass Pencil Board
• Nabari no Ou A4 File
• Shana Keychain
• Shana pin and clearcard
• Saber A4 File
• Tsubasa Chronicles Pencil Board
• Bleach Pencil Board

What is “Pencil Board”?

Shitajiki (下敷き, literally under-sheet – pencil board) is a Japanese word for various types of materials placed under a sheet of paper for writing, either to prevent marking on the sheets below or to provide a better surface for writing.

The respective said prizes are all from Japan, not fake goods or whatsoever ^_^. Please note that the winner will only get to choose 1 item (That’s why it’s called MINI LOL. Hopefully we will be able to keep these mini giveaways running! =D)

The Question

What is the cost of my next figurine?

Since I buy my figurines locally now, the answer you provide has to be in Singapore Dollars. A range of 5 dollars is allowed. Meaning – If the figurine cost 300 dollars, and your guess is 305 dollars, you win the giveaway ^^.

Hints

• I have posted the figurine before.
• It is a scaled figurine.
• The figurine is by Alter =D.
