Ok friends, I have put up a new contest (finally) over at the forum:  VinylToyFreaks. Plan on working that grey matter, which is your brain though, this one is going to take some thought! :)

Ok peeps, its time to put on your thinking caps for the latest contest on the forum.  We need some kind of slogan for our forum. 

The best slogan will be chosen to represent this forum.  So the winner will first of all have a claim to fame of being the one that  came up with the VTF slogan!  The other thing that the winner will get is  2 prizes from our mini figure goodie bag!  The second and third prizes will be for a single mini figure each and of course honorable mentions.  This should be fun.

Here is the criteria for comeing up with a slogan.

Short and sweet. KISS is the acronym for Keep It Short and Sweet.  Something short will stick in the minds of readers a lot longer in most cases.  Make it catchy .  A good slogan should run off your tongue and be memorable that way too.  Speaking of which, making it memorable.  Easier said than done huh?  Make sure your slogan not only relates to our forum, but will make people think of us whenever the slogan is said or seen.  No vulgar slogans or cursing.  (ex.  Toys Kick A__! won't be accepted)

Please keep in mind this is all in fun and don't take it all too seriously if you don't get picked. :)  Perhaps a new slogan every year will be used.. or 6 months.. whatever..

Get on with it guys!  The contest is officially started as of today and will run until 6/8/2008.  One month.  Plenty of time to come up with something!

Thanks to one of our faithful and very dedicated Mods over at Vinyl Toy Freaks, we've been able to secure a few more really cool prizes from a couple of the big toy guys:  MAD and Sket One.. for this next contest for you all to enjoy.  Just see below and follow that link!

Ok then peeps, the Bosses here at Freak towers have given me the go ahead to launch yet another Freak giveaway....although this time...you've got to get the old grey matter working a bit, and answer a few questions. 

The rules are quite simple....Aside from having a MINIMUM post count of 25, just Read the questions, and send me the answers via email, that way no one gets to see the answers till the end date, which if your wondering will be 21st feb :)
The entrants who submit all 15 correct answers will be put into a hat, and drawn randomly by my GF so obviously, sharing answers with friends will shorten your odds of being drawn first!

Please use the Following email to send your answers to.  petekelly2[at]hotmail[dot]com (also CC:  TheFreak{at}VinylToyFreaks{dot}com) and please remember to put Vinyl Toy Freaks quiz answers in the title and include your VTF username in the main body of the email. 

You can submit more than one email if you think you might have got some wrong....but nobody will be informed if they are to be included in the final Draw until after the close and before the Draw takes place.

Anyone found to be using multiple usernames and accounts will be disqualified and banned from this and any future VTF comps, and possibly even the site, so be warned  ..... 

Right then...I suppose ya'll want to know what's up for grabs....well for starters, we have a rather fine Custom handdoodled Dunny by the one and only Sket -One, also up for grabs will be a Limited edition Modern Heroes Print from MAD, 1 x Mini Munny , 1 x Blind Boxed Buka, 1 x Blind Boxed French series Dunny (on release) and lots lots of buttons/badges/stickers and other bits n bobs.  Alright already..let's get on with the Questions!!!...

Enjoy people..
