Oh, when you guys get it, can you take a picture of the list and post it here? I wonder how many sheets of paper that would take... 7,300 names..., but still readable...maybe around 16 standard sheets I'm thinking?

I hope Postal is right as well. However, it's even speculation on Postal's end. It's all speculation, despite the fact the rules state that judges will decide who wins at what time.

You're right GM, what we need is a judge's list...and then when we find out where they live... *cracks knuckles* ...we can bribe them...possibly with unused bags of leftover potato chips...

Yup, it is speculation...level-headed speculation. We've run around in circles, hashing out the definition of these rules. I have taken into account, opinions, experiences, and logic. Where I cannot guarantee that I am correct, I'd like to think I'm steering people in the proper direction. I have posted 100+ times on this topic, and have read each and every post since day one...that's 1000+ comments. I have defended this contest, I have defended this forum. There are many people here, that have been following along since April. I know it seems like an eternity, but unfortunately...all we can do is wait. I wish I had all the answers for you guys, but continuously asking questions, that nobody can answer, is just stirring the pot. So please, let's all step back, take a deep breath, and just see what tomorrow brings. Remember, good things come to those who wait. Let try doing just that.

Everybody just relax.

PostalGoddess you should contact Frito lay, and see what they say. You seem to be one of the few people with your head on yours shoulders. Everyone else is upset, listening to "a guy in another forum said...", etc. You are the only one I'd trust about this.

And once again, everyone relax, wait the 8 weeks then get upset.

Thanks, I appreciate that. However, I don't feel that contacting frito lay is going to resolve any of this, at this point. The few times I spoke with them, they seemed pretty clueless on the promotion details. I just think it is premature to call. Has anyone here ever prepped a bulk mailing?? I have done it. These people have to "build" the boxes, stuff them with the congrats paper and skylander...close the boxes...and label them. There may be sorting and separating from there, I don't know what Newgistics requires, but frito lay has 20,000 prizes to deliver between two promotion. That process doesn't even take into account deciphering out names and addresses from a recording. Be confident that they are chipping away at this everyday. Let's give them some time to do their job, and not worry just yet. Let's start today fresh.........

Got wrecking ball in the mail...

How do people know if their Flocked SS's were won via code input or via telephone call?

The first one that I've gotten from ebay had the "congratulations" message from Young America Corporation included and if I had to guess I'd think it was from the phone. No indication that a code was used.

please say something about sideacs

Well, as of now I don't believe anyone who got their Stumpy by calling in have received it yet. It makes more sense that they'd send out the ones for the codes first, so I think that's what we're all kind of guessing right now.

What info are you looking for?

Tried of all this fear mongering some people are doing, but anyway got nothing yesterday, still waiting on today, though I don't expect anything for awhile as my 1st win was on 04/23 so about 3 weeks ago

You won't be able to know if it was code or call I know with my fiancé I'll be able to tell because of how he spells his first name but other then that idk any one no when we should expect sidekick bags in stored

Please make friends with punctuation.

^ who is this punctuation person you speak of? does punctuation have extra flocked stump smashes to share?

Looks like nobody got anything in the mail today. Definitely not a case of "no news, is good news."

^ We should see some more come in by the end of next week.

yeah... waiting for the first person to post pic of the flock stump they got....

I tracked the flocked stumpy my friend got, it was put into the Newgistics mail stream on a Wednesday, and dropped at the delivering post office on the following Monday. So it looks like approximately a 5 day transit time frame. Don't forget, the post office typically delivers these parcels Tuesday-Saturday.

Still waiting for mine... Gosh, why do they take so long!

Has anyone who won Stumpy via phone received theirs yet?

Seriously?? Don't we have better things to do with our time?? Didn't your mom teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all?? This is one of those times you follow that advice.

Lol.

Umm... got my 2nd ebay Flocked Stumpy in the mail today... delivered by "FLYNN" hahaha. Flynn did not include the note like the first guy.

i got a stump smash and a wrecking ball in the mail!!

^ Was your stump smash flocked? Just wondering cuz it would be cool if they sent random skylanders other than boomer and wrecking ball.

Quote: Kesrael

So they said you won when you didn't? Is that legal?

No, i don't think it is.

its not false advertisement, we paid squat (except for the people who bought chips). but there are always going to be screw ups.

i cant believe people are so easily mislead about this. do you guy seriously think that there were 108,000 winning calls? think about how many times we all called and didnt win. so add alllllll the non winning calls to the "108,000" winners and you have a ridiculous number that would be impossible to get with such terrible promotion of a contest. and think about how many people are on this forum. not very many. and it was basically only people on this forum participating.
as for the whole "judges deciding who wins" thing, how has no one thought that means the judge will decide when to turn on the winning message? the judges just decide who will hear the winning message and who want. all of you need to relax. its insane how you are all so quick to think you wont be getting anything just because "some guy in another forum got an email from some guy at activision" or whatever. since when do we believe things like that? what happened to pics or it didnt happen?

Pics or it didn't happen only applies when someone claims to have or gotten something of value. Peope are willing to accept the notion of being robbed or gypted easily and without proof. Welcome to pessimism.

Still nothing over here, but I did the 800 and 866 numbers. I had expected not to receive a Flocked Stumpy yet, but the fact I haven't received a random is a little strange. I'm not worried though. I have bigger things than free 'Landers on my plate.

Got 3 flocked stump smashes yesterday. All were from bag codes. I know because I used my name on the phone and my kid's for the codes. No random yet.

Hi I'm from the uk and we did not get the promotion here. Would somebody be willing to give me one flocked stump smash?

to me, an email from activision telling some one such important information is pretty valuable. if i saw a screenshot then i might believe it.

Never got anything,Still got nothing UHHHH!!!

i know that feel bruh, i've been waiting for a LOOONG @** time. i want mah stumpy!

i won the "Random skylander" line about four times, i think. and i'm pretty sure i won the flocked stump smash twice

nothing has arrived so far

Me, neither. Nothing here, and I won over a month ago, on the 800 number.

I have no reason to suspect anything is coming. Maybe it's pessimism, but that could be born of fact. There is no proof those of us who won on the 800 number, are getting anything. I won about 9 weeks ago, come Monday.

This is kind of funny to me. I called once, won, and never called again. LOL to everyone who called multiple times per day for the duration of the "contest".

GM, I figured out your problem the contest did not start even start until about 7 weeks ago. It was not widely published on this site until 6 weeks ago and the 800 line did not start paying off until about 4 weeks ago.

By winning 9 weeks ago you simply won before the contest started this is why you have not received anything.

Seriously, guys chill. You are only promoting hysteria.

Ok has anyone who called in got their prizes yet? I just wanna k ow cuz I thought some people already did, and I just want to make sure. And question for those who did the game card way. About how many weeks did it take for you to get your flocked stump smash from the day you won?

LOL! GM won before that contest even started.... But yeah, like someone said before, wait 8 weeks and THEN freak out.

Phone line winners have gotten the randoms, but not Stumpy as far as I've read. I hope everyday. lol

A very good reason for that, that has nothing to do with any of the paranoid speculation, is that the 866 number was winnable several weeks ahead of the 800 number for Stump Smash, meaning they've had several extra weeks to verify and ship orders for that one. Nothing conspicuous about the delay at all.

The first day the 800# won (consistently) was April 17th.

....and all I was saying, is stop and think, maybe the key is broken on the keyboard, maybe they don't know how, who knows. I don't like people making others feel self conscience, enough that they may not wanna participate. Everyone's info and opinion is a valuable piece of this topic. If you feel you must express yourself, maybe try the PM button. There is no need to embarrass anyone.

I've got nothing today. hopefully stump smash shows up soon

I got something today!
