The Yak Shack Forum

Wow!

I feel pretty lucky for us today the lovely people at Cards Inc have given us 10 boxes of the Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Wererabbit Sticard set, this is shaping up as a really fun and exciting card set

All you have to do to win a box is to answer this question - I am warning you - it's not easy!

What football club does the owner of Cards Inc (Darren Epstein) Support? (Yes you may discuss this amongst yourselves, Jo (FTY) is a useful source of English football info but I'm not sure if she'll know the answer to this, but please don't ask me!! Remember google is your friend).

Email your name and address, your forum ID and the answer to

CardsIncCompo@theyakshack.co.uk

The rules are simpler than ever - the first 10 members to email the correct answer to the address above will win a box of the Wallace and Gromit cards from Cards Inc.

UK Shackers don't forget that in the next week or so there will be W&G Cards inc goodies given away in the Sun and News of the World "newspapers", so don't miss them (like me!).

Darn...Jos not on >:D

Well, I sent in an answer.  Let's see if it's the right one.  :o=

Me too :o=

Anyone know how the winners will be announced?

Yes, nothing on google for this one.  I know the popular team over there, but that seems to easy.

I think the best thing to do is to announce what winners we have in 24 hours, all forummers from all the corners of the globe will have had a chance to run for it by then, and we'll see if we have 10 by that point.

From there if we have any boxes left we'll move on to round 2 ;)

i looked everywhere i could, and i couldn't come up with anything. maybe because i'm in the US. (:D#  i say after the contest is over everyone should list where they looked. i'd be interested to know where the answer is.

This is too hard.....i have no idea  :o

I found an interesting article...ive taken a guess...

From my knowledge of football, my clue for you all is that its a Premier League team (there are many different leagues in English football), and there are 20 teams there, so that is a good start for you all! :)

Great that helps....not  ::) I havent been able to find anything so I will give up now...will be interested to see how people got the answer though!  :P

*sighs* Trey, Trey, what are we to do with you? ;) 'Ere you go, you've got a 1:20 chance of getting the right one!

All I can say is, that if the answer is not Liverpool, my boyfriend will NOT be happy with Mike ;)

Well my guess is in...thanks cap'n Jo  (:D# what would I do without u?...well at least I had a try and my odds are a lot better than pulling a triple auto thats for sure  ;)

Well, my guess was one of those 20 teams, so at least i have a chance...

Ahhh, I thought I was your boyfriend Jo, we are such a great couple :rofl: Sorry, I've been dying to say something like that to one of my friends ;)

You'll be happy to know my anwser was not Liverpool ;D

I've put in my answer, with any luck it's the right team.

Mike... you know these cross continent relationships never work! :rofl:

Well, if its not Liverpool, then Mike Simon has done at least one thing wrong ;)

Well, I have finally managed to retreive my password, and have just sent off the correct answer, unless he has changed his team due to them having a very poor start to the Season!!

And the answer is......  ;D

Dave.

Correct answer just submitted  ;D :D

Rob

Well I have had my usual stab in the dark  ;D  Thanks to Roz, Mark, Darren and Cards Inc for another great competition  :)

Please, please post what the answer was when this has finished  ;D

Well I also had a stab in the dark which a carrot.

We can make it work *sniff*

Mike Simon ???

Aaaargh... delete, delete!

Was half asleep when I typed that... I meant Darren Epstein of course... now my answer's probably wrong... oops :rofl:

I wondered what you might be thinking there Jo :D

I'd like to say thank you to everyone who entered and tell you that I'll be in touch with the winners asap (i.e. when Mark and I can get the emails out ;)).

They will also all be posted here, it's astonishing how fast you can give away 10 boxes of cards :P ;)

So 10 people submitted correct answers?  If so, can you post the answer here for us all to see?  I know I probably sent the wrong answer, so I would like to know the correct one,  Thanks!

Hmmmmmmmmmm mebbe I missed out?!?!?  :o= :o= :o=

R  ::)

Any news yet? :o=

Seems not  >:D

R

Well they say no news is good news, so maybe none of the winners have been informed. :o= :o= :o=

Dave.

No news is probably good news ;D

I've not emailed people yet - firstly this is my first day back in Cambridge, and secondly I'm hoping the boxes will arrive today, and so I'll be emailing everyone once they are here and ready to go out :)

So keep an eye on your PMs/emails tonight folks :)

Do we have winners yet? ???

Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!  :o=

Emails have been sent out, if there are any people who don't want their prizes the prizes will be offered down the chain, so no we haven't got a final list yet :)

Could you let us know the answer to the question? I am very interested to find out which club it is

I Won ;D

Thanks for a great prize you guys. Cant wait to see the movie 8) Oh, and get the box :rofl:

Congratulations Mike! 8)

So that's 1 winner so far...

Come on folks, own up ;) or reply at least to let me know about sending :P ;)

Well done Mike.  That was a dead hard question too  ;D

Well done Mike - hope you enjoy the film as well as the cards!! ;) ;D

Thank everyone ;D

PREVIEWS START THIS WEEKEND EVERYONE

Look at the showtimes at my local cinema... do you think they could fit in some more performances :P?

09:40 10:40 12:00 13:00 14:30 15:30 17:00 17:50 19:30 21:50 00:00 (l/s*)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no email here  :o :o

Ah well  :'( :'(

Rob

I won too!!!!  Woo-hoo!!!!!  ;D

Congrats Mike and Kelly  ;D ;D ;D

OOOOOO congrats to Kelly too!! ;) ;D

Well done.

poo no email here either. So what was the answer?

I must have been pipped to the post, as I'm pretty sure I got the answer right.

O well, another time maybe :P

Congrats to the winners  ;)

Congrats to all the winners!  ;)

What was the answer  ???

Congratulations Kelly! 8)

Okay, now this makes 2 people, 8 more people need to fess up if they won. ;)

The answer was Arsenal.  I tried searching the NSU card talk site under Darrens name, but kept getting nothing.  Then when I got a hint about the teams to choose from I searched each team on NSU until I got the answer.  It was a bit time consuming and NOT easy!   ;D

Congratz Winners  ;D

R  :'(

Arsenal ??? I thought Darren had more taste than that  ;D

good job to the winners!! i spent an hour and couldn't figure it out.

Has anybody had any of these yet? I got a pack today and find it a little odd.  :-\

What do you find odd? The mix of thin stickers and cards? I like the stickers better than the cards really to be honest as they are more detailed and show more of what's going on, but maybe when they are in the album I'll feel better about it ;)

Competition winners haven't had any yet as I was only packing them up today ;) Especially since some were waiting for me to get the sticker and card albums in for them too :)

Where are they available Dawn? WHSmiths or somewhere else?

Yup Wh smiths 99p each. I liked the stickers but the cards are all part of something bigger and none of them go together out of the two packs ???

Arsenal... pfffffffft :P I am seriously reconsidering my opinion of Darren ;) :rofl:

Are there anymore winners?

I'm dying to open the box. Cant wait to get it :)

Oh was mentioned earlier, albums can be bought for WH Smiths for £2.49 ;D

Cool, do they have a website?

What the makers or the shop? I think WH Smith do but the website isn't usually very helpful I have found

Oh, I was hoping I could order the binder from there after I got the box :'( Thats like Michaels.com. They tell you about the product but dont sell it

I think they do sell not sure if they do internationally its not really a binder as such, more like a glossy book to stick your stickers in, witha  bit at the back for trading cards not sure what you are supposed to do with them really they don't stick.

Or on the collector zone for £2.99 - it's a bit cheeky to put the price up for postage when it has the price stamped on the back ::)

Lol it is a bit maybe they didn't notice ::)

I can buy the sellers sheet and stick it in the front of a binder. That will work ;D

Mike, I'd get the CI album - in fact I have ;) -  your 9 card sets won't make a proper picture if you don't - and there's so much extra to the set that's added by the album

Oh, ok. Thanks ;D

Has there been pictures of the set posted anywhere. Like a few picture of the cards? Maybe in the break-down thread :-\

I'll show you my small collection....

Oooo :o Thanks, my hands are just a itching for it :rofl:

The top six are stickers and the bottom four are cards ;D

Very cool ;D

There are very temping collectables advertised in the back of the album I really do need more money ::)

I love the book ends

I got the Dancy today for the cards that came with it ::)

I got my box yesterday ;D Thanks guys. Post breakdown soon

Great - guys Jo's started a thread for spares,so when you have an idea of what PVC stickers, cards and other stickers you need - post them so we can get trading:

http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3178.0

I couldn't resist chaning my avi ;)

That's a fab scene from the movie...

"I want toupee!"

PMSL  :rofl: yes and I love the way the bunny waves as it goes off on his head. I hope it ran fast when it was discovered  :o

I have this one on an other forum Wallace and Gromit circa 1970something

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/MorningAngel-Iola/wererabbitavitwo.jpg)

did anybody else win the contest?

Lots, I've had emails to confirm that 7/10 boxes have landed. Maybe some people just haven't emailed ;) or maybe they are still waiting.

Unfortunately (for my bank balance) 70% of winners were out of the UK

I got my box today.  My 6 year old daughter and I had a wonderful time opening!  I have lots of spare sticards if anyone wants to trade.  Check the trade thread.  I'm going to let my kids have the spare sticards after the weekend, so let me know asap if you need anything.  ;D
