Project "I won" in 2017

Well, if you are around on this blog for over a year, you might remember that at the end of 2016, I decided to have a look if all those "you win free LEGO etc etc" easily.

And as such, I entered a lot of YouTube contests, Facebook likes, blog giveaways and more during the past 12 months... and I must say it is actually true.

Down here is a selection of all the things I actually won as such, as well as some words of explanation where no YouTube video's are included...

This giveaway was for an unused set of Dimensions Scooby Doo set, and it swiftly arrived.

A big giveaway, and I had to luck to come up in third place, taking a nice stack of LEGO goodies.

This was a roulette that entered you if your bought from them on BrickLink.  It`s a custom fig with some lovely parts, and who am I to say no to additional freebies.

Through a Facebook contest I got a set of LEGO cards, not available in Belgium.  Nice little thingies to have.

My price from the yearly Eurobricks Christmas Raffle arrived as well the past year, granting a heap of ghostly themed models.

Through Owen`s Lab, I obtained a set of LEGO Batman Movie CMF figures this year.

And that is it for the LEGO side of things... but there where more contests, and more stuff I snatched up

Through the excellent flemish blog, 80sGeek, I won a digital copy of 8-Bit Kids, telling the lovestory of one man and his Commodore 64.  Expect a review during the coming year on this one for sure!

Greebo Games ran a "Price is right" contest for their limited edition Fang N Hood model, and I guessed the price, and won the draw.  The model is expected somewhere first half of 2018.

On the same note, as in under way in the post, is a Power Rangers Alpha-5 action figure, which I got through the Fo Real Toys Youtube channel.

The final free loot this year wasn`t a draw, but a gift for entering the AHCP8 just as recent as two weeks ago.  Barrage Miniatures sponsored all participants with their digital copy of Rattenkrieg, which if you count the vouchers in the book is a gift of 20 euro just for entering... mighty fine.

So that`s it, the heap of stuff I actually obtained for doing things like sharing and commenting on whatever social media platform it ran.  Barely any effort, but a nice pile of stuff, which if you count it all is easily a 100 - 150 euro value just for free.

So yes, the stories of winning free stuff... are true.  Tested it, and if I really, really wanted to push it, I could have reacted to a lot more of contests to be honest instead of those really intresting me.
