The Yak Shack Forum

Hi guys!

The Yak Shack competitions just keep getting better - this week we are giving away a Long Grass Prop from the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Prop Card. Limited to just 95 pieces worldwide.

This wonderful prize is donated by Tom Unique (http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1738318-5463217?loc=http%3A//search.stores.ebay.com/search/search.dll%3Fquery%3Dcharlie%26srchdesc%3Dy%26sid%3D100004650%26store%3DTOMUNIQUE%26colourid%3D3%26fp%3D0%26st%3D2%26fsoo%3D2%26fsop%3D3) - a HUGE thank you to Tom for this amazing prize.

All you have to do to enter is to visit here: http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/tradingcards/?page=competition and answer the simple question :)

What an amazing prize, absolute fantastic. Thanks Tom !  :D

Typical I know the answer to that one  ::)  But not starting on collecting Charlie stuff.

I'm going to do it because its a card I want but KNEW I'd never afford so this is great for me. Thank you VERY much Tom

I will answer it at some point.  I see you made this one a bit easier though!

Some people like the easier questions, some prefer the harder ones as they know if they make the effort to find out and answer they are in with a very good chance, so I think the plan is to vary it a bit :D

Oh, Man!  I REALLY want to win this one! (as if I didn't on the others too) ::)  This person is my favorite childrens author.  Thanks again Tom!

Thanks for the easy question (since I blew the last contest) and thanks Tom for the cool card! ;D

my one and only chance to ever own this card. thanx tom. man i hope i win. :o=

thank you tom and roz and mark for the fantastic competition once again

Thanks Tom such an amazing prize to give away!!  ;D

Thanks to Roz and Mark for organising the comp....and im glad its a question that I can answer  haha

Thank you for another great competition.

Just one question (no, not what's the answer  :rofl: ).  If we thought the thick SS cards were hard to store, where on earth do you keep a card like this  :o  Just curious as I know there is a short grass version as well  :)

I agree, it's really very generous.  Thanks for the chance to win, because that's the ONLY way I'll ever get one. :)

My card came in it's on box. I suspect that the winner of the contest will get it in a box as well.

I'm in  :o= :o=

This card contains a small bunch of prop grass from the chocolate room and is limited to just 95 pieces worldwide and is one of the craziest cards ever made, it's so large that it comes in its own plastic display box!

 

Now that is really cool - a card so special it comes in its own box  8)  All I have to add is  :o=

I entered into my first contest today! Woohoo!  ;D Just wondering, how do you find out who wins? Is an e-mail sent or do they post the winner in this thread?

The winner is posted in this thread, and sent a PM to confirm.  Good luck!!

great! How cool would it be to win this prop card? I don't know what others think of it but I am in love with it. It's a cool idea and I do not mind it whatsoever, good choice for Artbox in my opinion!

We post it and email/PM them too - so they can't miss it ;)

contest over  :) I cannot wait to find out who wins!

We have to wait for word from the top Yaks ;D

It's true we do - and the top Yak went to bed early it would seem ;)

No more entries please (any received late are not valid), but of course the answer is Roald Dahl (wrote Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory)

Lots of people thought it was Ronald... clearly they are devoted Weasley fans and have their youngest son constantly on the brain ;) - but of course he was Norwegian so Ronald probably wasn't an option for his parents ;)

Our head Yak will be instructed to choose a winner from his little randomiser (made in FLASH) when he gets home tonight :) There is no massive rush as although Tom is replying to all his emails at the moment, he is away for a bit (so no shipping).

But of course we are all dying to know who has won ;)

I saw you posting Roz and thought you had a winner. Guess we need to be patient ;)

Ooer sorry Dawn... we aren't far away now... about 6 hours I reckon :D

Ok I'll sit and wait patiently (although I'm not very good at it lol) ;)

Any winner yet?  Me and my friend Pam (she's a lurker, not a poster  :D) both got this one right!

It's about 3 and a half hours away ;)

So are those who said Ronald not included?  Luckily, I did get this one right.

I think so, it's the wrong answer of course.  :P

And now we are waiting for the winner. ::)

Oooh ooh! I said ROALD :) Yay for me!!! Now, just to make that randomizer pick ME ME ME!!!

I hope, the randomizer picks me and while this is happening, a mystic voice from anywhere behind appears and says: "Don't send Tower the grass, send him ticket 16/18."  ;D

The hours in UK seem to be much longer than anywhere else.  ;D

Patience guys, i think, the randomizer picks always Roz and she has to repeat it many times.  ;D

Still no result  :o

Maybe any problems, for example the grass is withered meanwhile and they are looking for a replacement.  ;D

Stop me, if i'm kidding too much.  ;D

Well - here in Cambridge time is warped in the way that space is warped in Star Trek.

Well you aren't going to believe this guys! But the winner is Wendi/Thor!

She was entrant number 27 :) (just in case she needs a final number for her lottery entry).

Well done Wendi, I am afraid that this does not come with a watering can (sorry there have been cutbacks ;)) you will have to supply that yourself!

That's ONE LUCKY FAMILY!!!

Congrats Thor !  :D  You got a fantastic price, Wendi. :)

Well done now its her turn to run around the room cheering ;)

Way to go, Wendi!  I think the card will grow best in partial shade.  Let us know if it blooms  :rofl:  

Wooo Hooo!! Well done Wendi!! ;D

*wonders if the house got straight after her bro trashed it last week?* :rofl:

Congrats Wendy!!!

Hey Roz, when I was reading your post and you said we weren't going to believe who won....I got a little excited thinking maybe it was me again >:()

Anyway, I am very happy for Wendy.  Let us know when you get it and how you like it!!!!

Awwwwwwww sorry Sara :) well - maybe next time... we had 50 entries this time so it was a pretty strong comp but not quite as strong as the SS NY one :)

Awesome stuff guys

Can I put in a request that the next time there's an HP one it can have an easy answer like this one ;) I'm a collector of very little brain  ::)  ;D

You mean something like "Who wrote the Harry Potter books?".  ;D

Yeah or who are the Harry Potter books about ;)

Woo hoo!  Congratulations Wendi! ;D  Now you can do the 'happy dance' around the house and drive Mikey nuts. ;D
Repeat after me "I won!  I won!  I won!"  ;)

Congratulations!!!  ;D It is a very nice prop and im sure u will love it  :P

Thanks everyone and I am still in shock that I won it. :o

 My brother called me up at work and told me that I won  ;D I think the customers thought I was nuts when I kept telling Mikey if he was serious  :-[

I think when I come down from the shock of it I will start doing the happy dance Mikey (Zero) did and go around screaming like him that I WON I WON... I can't believe I WON  :o 

Well done hun, and you changed your screen name ;D

Great work Wendi 8)

Now every body is changing to thier real names ::) well I'm not it's boring  :P

I thought it would be easier to just use my real name instead of Thor  :D  I want to thank Roz for helping me with that also  ;D

thanks again for the congratulations and I will be sure to tell everyone what I think about it when I finally get to see it. It will be one of my most unique cards that's for sure  :rofl:  :o and yet still in shock that she won  :-[ :o

I changed my name because everyone knows I love Emma so I dont need that name anymore 8)

Lol true and my friend on the other site though you were called Emma  :-[ ::) Much more straight forward now  ;)

Tell me, (no offence to your friends) but who mistakes EmmasONEANDONLY as a name :-\

Maybe she just saw the first bit then switched off  :-\

Probably I make sure I look at or know the persons name on here before posting it because I dont want people to get mad at me :P

Lol it can get confusing sometimes ::)

Can I come and live at your place when the next comp is on Wendi and Mike? :rofl:

Congrats!

Congratulations wendi

Sure Jo ;)

::) Oops - you caught the attention of the Wrong Mike :P


He hee - well I have a PM here which is unrivalled in the number of shocked smilies (from Wendi) so I get this ever so slight impression that she's pleased :P

I wouldn't mind a trip to Florida right now though ;)

Well, I think it's my turn to give a HUGE congratualtions to Wendi, my dearest and bestest sister ;D I guess you can say ever since she's won, she's been unbearable ... NO, NO, NO, just kidding ... Honestly, I had to practically force her to do a victory dance ;D And naturally, I've been trying my best to con her out of it ;)

that was a wicked competition, the dealers a defiently getting generous, roz is their a list someone of all the previous prizes?

Last week was a busy week for me what with work,the new Harry Potter book and the premieres of Stargate SG1 and Atlantis that I didn't get time to post that my card arrived safely  ;D Again I want to thank the people who make these contests happen...Thanks  ;D

I love the card, It had me  :rofl: when I first saw it and I have to say it is the most unique card in my collection. Thank goodness it came in a case or I would have nowhere to put it safely in my room.(The number of the card is 62/95)

Thanks again for allowing us to win some great cards  ;D

When will we hear anything about the competition ended yesterday?  ::)
