Has anyone here or on ebay won him yet? I tried 7 codes. 5 were already used & 2 were losses. I would like to have 2 of Quickdraw Rattle Shake in my great collection...

I tried 19 codes none work.

I'm not a big fan of "you may win"...may be worth it for me to scoop it off of eBay. I have way too many chips now as it is.

No one is gonna win. It's the worst promotion to date. All bags were already (taken) before they were put on the shelf.

I won this morning

Won yesterday.

So do we start sending in cards again or what?

That seems to be the only rational way to win.

I don't know how this promo works, but I do believe it's meant to have one winner per fifteen minutes... Shouldn't you try later when less people are rushing in to get their codes entered? When more people are calling in, it's more likely that one will manage to grab the one from that quarter hour before you. Unless this is just at average, of course, in which case it probably won't make a lick of difference to your luck.

I've been hearing a lot of complaints about used codes, baffles me, hopefully Frito will actually compensate buyers for that ... ABSOLUTELY STUPID move to put the codes on the front.

Just this once, I'm actually glad I didn't have a chance to enter this one, and will buy mine off of eBay, as it saved me from having to buy any chips just for a code that wouldn't even work.

By the way- I hope anyone who has cheated for codes without buying bags understands what they do.

Has it been confirmed that Qucikdraw Rattle Shake will have a regular release? We only just found Pumpkin Frightrider Bags at Toys R US (of all places)

If this really is Quick Draw Rattle Shake, there is no way the Frito-Lay promo will be the only way to get get him. No in-game character has ever been available exclusively through a "chance to win" promo.

Either this is just an early release and he'll be on shelves next year, or this is just a "Special" Rattle Shake that isn't part of the main collection anyway.

He's been confirmed to be different in the game. Look at the back of the bags; they have an in-game picture of him.

He could end up available normally but perhaps the Frito version has a difference(maybe a hypothetical regular Quickdraw won't glow in the dark?).

Good to know. Still have to believe this figure (or some version of Quick Draw Rattle Shake, perhaps without GITD feature) will be made available to the masses next year.

Maybe the Frito Lay promo figure is a "Special/Rare" Quick Draw Rattle Shake.

yeah, we got the frito-ssa- sidekicks this year(europe) so I think he'll come here next year, nah, I dont care anymore


this promo is the worst one ever!

It's been 4 days. Has anyone got Quickdraw Rattle Shake yet?

I've won 2 times...

I think our perception has been altered after several of their contests that were practically guaranteed to win. Those had limiting factors in that you either had to send in for a code or buy a bag.

With this one nothing is preventing you from hammering it with entries, so naturally the chances of winning are diminished. I can virtually guarantee there are scalpers that are chain entering the codes every single day with a ton of email addresses that are hoping to get their hands on as many to sell as they can. It is a contest with a limited amount of prizes, after all.

People were upset that it was hard to enter since they had to find the bags (or mail in and wait), now they are upset at what happens when you don't have to.

I was able to win one. Took a bunch of tries though.

He's gonna look exactly the same as upgraded rattle shake when you get his purple skin

Tried once
didnt win

That's what I reckon...

Is nothing to say his skin will end up purple yet. It is still a rigged contest tho.

can't even find one damn bag.

when i got a losing code, i said, "I hate you..."

I work at a retail store, and all the bags we received have the same code printed on them.

"Is nothing to say his skin will end up purple yet. It is still a rigged contest tho."

I can confirm that when he is fully upgraded he goes purple in game as the normal Rattle Shake does.

How is the contest rigged?

I JUST WON! Wahoo!

We have been entering 3 times per day since the contest opened. *We were not cheating. Three members of our household each with their own email address.*

The third entry today (10 minutes ago) said that it WON! I just wish that there had been some kind of immediate email confirmation as well, so I would know that it wasn't the site lying to me. lol

Thanks to unclebob [ the info about infinite emails] I have won three times.. countless about of entries

I live in the UK and can't even enter let alone win... .Count yourselves lucky.

Quickdraw Rattle Shake is a figure I will never get to own

I couldn't get the email address +1 to work, it keeps telling me I have an invalid email address. It might be because my email address ends with a number? My email address is like ex: john7020@gmail.com and then when I try to do john7020+1@gmail.com it gives me an invalid email address window. I can email to the +1 email address just fine but Frito doesn't want to accept it.

Remember, you're supposed to hook me up with one if you win twice.

Yeah, not all websites accept the + in the e-mail address, but you should be able to get the . to work.

Basically, you have 2^(n-1) email addresses you can try, with "n" being the number of characters in your base e-mail. Since you can choose to have/not have a period after every character (except the last one?), you still have a lot of possibilities. With the example you gave, you have 128 possible e-mail addresses to try.

6 to 8 weeks for Quickdraw Rattle Shake to come in the mail? Really?

I won on the second day, but I have lost every time since. Just looking for one more if I can, but I do not play every day.

Actually 8-10 weeks, according to the page. It puts it mid January if you win today, at the latest. They obviously ship them out in waves instead of packing/shipping one at a time, so it might be shorter, might be right on that. If you win right before they ship out a wave of shipments, you might have a very short wait, if you win right after, you might have a long one. But given all Frito Lay stuff is sent out from Young America, a company who's business consists entirely of handling contests/promotions for companies, they know what they are doing and if they tell you 8-10 weeks then expect that.

You said that already. lol

Hmm... must have timed out and double posted.

I guess I'm going to have to spend a LOT of type to win this. I've probably have entered 100 times so far ad still not a weiner.

I can't believe so many people are wasting their time on this. What's it gonna get you? A Rattle Shake that is basically the same except for the color. The only people entering this should be the ones that don't have Rattle Shake PERIOD as they really don't need another one.

Oh, so only those who are too cheap to pay for one should be trying to get one? Keep your opinion to yourself, bud.

It's a free figure, I used the code that was posted in the forums and have won 2....didn't have to even buy a bag of chips

So---hypothetically---if free codes weren't posted would this contest be as hard to win?

Honestly Shelly9871, I don't think it would have made a bit of difference. It had already been made known that codes were being distributed on the outside of the bags before I posted anything. Anyone could have easily searched for an image of the front of the bags to find a code that they could use to enter the contest with. Personally I think giving people the knowledge of the multiple email trick with gmail accounts did more damage to the contest than anything. But I don't fault anyone for that either. Honestly, I have won 6 of the Rattle Shakes already without much of a problem. And before everyone jumps on me, I got two for myself and the rest go to my friends overseas and across the border.

I'm a bit against the whole posting of codes here publicly for the simple fact of those that don't have it yet in how much harder you make it with more people playing who didn't pay for the bags. I already brought this up in one of the forum pages before. If it was the utmost you wanted to share, you should do so in private message.
