Lord of the Rings: War in the North Snow Troll Giveaway

DOUBLE UPDATE: By the way, you guys should probably read the next post the contest winner... might be worth checking out.
UPDATE: Contest is over, get ready for the announcement!

Seeing as how the gaming community has been good to me the past few years, particularly cheapassgamer.com, I've decided it's high time I start giving back. I can't begin to think of the countless tips I've read about and helpful comments from random CAG'ers since I joined the site oh-so many years ago. So hopefully some of them are reading this because I've got a nice freebie for commenters.


This is going to be a bit of an experiment and hopefully it goes over well. With any luck I can pull this off every now and then, and as long as I find enough decent stuff to give out. As some of you may have read in my last post I was able to pick up a free troll statue from Best Buy as a promote for Lord of the Rings: War in the North. Some locations are giving them away, but the majority still want $10 to purchase separately. Since there seemed to be surplus at a couple of the stores near me, I took the liberty of picking up a spare while the getting was good.



As you can see it's still in the original box that was shipped to Best Buy, and it's packed in a solid blister case. Hopefully by my pics you can tell it's in damn fine condition.


I'll keep this nice and painless: leave a comment below along with an email address for notification at the end of the contest. I recommend spelling out your email address in this format - johndoe at email dot com. A small pain but it's just safer for everyone. CAG'ers can just use their usernames if that's easier and I'll shoot a PM. Oh, and sorry for any international readers but this is a US domestic contest only this time around.


The deadline for comments is Friday December 9th at 6pm EST. I'll pick a random entry at that time and contact the winner. Good luck!

    Sorry Anonymous, I accidentally deleted your comment. To answer your question I believe the troll shows up as the $9.99 cost, and then zeroed out in a separate line. But that's if the employee bothers to ring it up. When I picked up the game they just handed me the troll without scanning. By this point I wouldn't be surprised if Best Buy just hands out leftovers for free.
