If you were one of the 12 main picks for the calendar, check the email you used to submit to the contest. The 2nd Figma Link figurine arrived so I did the lottery drawing for the prize selection order. I let you know which number you drew, and thus what order you will get to select from the remaining prizes. If you didn't receive something from me, just let me know. (Since it may be an issue of emails not getting through, check your spam mail -with words like "contest" in the email, it might be filtered out- you can also try to reach me here on blogger, on my DA account, or on Facebook in this case.) And thank you again guys!
Since I never really got to update the forum thread with the contest info (because the prizes weren't all here, so I didn't confirm them until I was sure they'd show up) this is what was available this year. Next year (or this year's! Holy crap it's 2013!) should be even better *crosses fingers* The first year's contest prizes were pretty sweet!
Also, I still plan on making a post, a few posts, about other pieces. That's really important to me: there were so many wonderful ones and I wanted to talk about them. Before Christmas I was very scattered, and then out guests arrived: so I promptly caught a bad flu... which brings us to today! But I feel very bad about it because it's something I've wanted to do, it's something I feel is very important.
Anyway, here's what was goodies there were this year! Not counting the 4 participation prizes that were given out :3 That consisted of another copy of the Japanese Hyrule Historia, an English copy of Hyrule Historia, and 2x Link plushies and practice Ocarina's with Zelda songbooks!
Prize 1:
Japanese copy of Hyrule Historia
(Collector's item at this point, for those of you who haven't followed along insanely closely I feel like I shoudl explain or this will look odd: I didn't know they'd be releasing it in English at the time. I got these reserved for the contest when they were still selling out and seemed to be a limited edition: Which seemed like quite a feat. I was so excited I could offer them. I bought most of the prizes early in the year. If I had more money, I'd include an English copy with these. But I can't afford it T_T)
Prize 4:
These Six Figurines (from Various Games)
Includes Link and Zelda from Skyward Sword, Young Link and Yound Zelda from Ocarina of Time 3D, and Link and Tetra from Phantom Hourglass.
Prize 5:
Map of Hyrule by Mudron
Prize 6:
Box Set of the 10 Akira Himekawa Manga (English Language Version Only)
This includes Ocarina of Time vol 1 & 2, Majora's Mask, Four Swords 1 & 2, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, The Minish Cap, A Link to the Past, and Phantom Hourglass.
