(What? You already saw this post last week? Well, this is the magical floating contest reminder post now. Remember, if you want money to hide from your wife, pay for your sister’s operation, or just blow on drugs then comment away!)

If you’re already entering the SDDC comment contest to win giveways from the convention, then this is even better news for you. For those not commenting at all, then this might be the reason to start. 451 Press, the network blogging overlords that actually own this blog, are having a comment contest network wide for up to 300 bucks. That’s right, for every comment you make you are also giving yourself the chance to win 300 smackers.

Here’s the official announcement with all the fancy details:

Wanna win $300? If ya do read the instructions below and GOOD LUCK!

Three comments will be chosen at random to win a cash prize of $300, $200 or $100. The more you comment the more chances you have to win. So start reading and let those fingers fly.

It is my pleasure to give something back to all the great readers of Toy Bender so I’m happy to announce the winner of the 2007 Comic-Con goodies. Oh yes, this stuff is hard to part with, but knowing that it will go to a valued reader soothes the hurt like a Keebler Scooby-Doo graham cracker stick. Have you tried those things? OMG they are awesome! Okay, I’m getting a bit off track here.

And the winner is…

Remember, the comment contest is still going on. I realize I’ve been having server problems, but I don’t see that many comments in the last few days. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by! Oh yeah, the 300 dollar comment contest is still going on too.

Look at those luscious prizes that one lucky reader will end up with in moments, but before I get to that I’d like to thank everyone who entered. I’m hoping that the comments won’t dry up completely, because I’ve enjoyed a lot of them. I also hope that you continue to read Toy Bender, because that will only encourage me and my blogging overlords to do this again in the future. Simply put, the bigger the blog gets the more benefits there are for you. Since I realize that everyone who is the least interested in winning this contest has already skipped down to find (or not find) their name, I’ll just get on with this.

The winner of The Completely Ball Kicking Awesome Off the Hook Star Wars Celebration IV Prize Package is Great White Snark! Congrats to Snark and better luck next time for those of you hoping win.

You read that title right, it’s contest time here at Toy Bender! I ended up with a few extra trinkets from my recent trip to Star Wars Celebration IV and it’s time to pass them to you if you weren’t lucky enough to attend.

In the prize round round up:

1 ) A DVD-Rom from Sideshow collectibles. I’m not sure what’s on it, but it’s got to be good if it’s from Sideshow!

2 ) A Sideshow Collectibles gift card. This card is worth up to 100 dollars depending on what happens when you put the code in their website. Insane!

3 ) Two, yes two sets of Star Wars Pocket Model trading card game ships. Each set comes with an X-Wing and a Tie Fighter that you can build and do whatever the hell it is you do with these things.

4 ) A pack of lenticular trading cards from the insightful History Channel documentary that tells you the lightsaber was inspired by swords.

5 ) A package of tissues from website J-list.com. Um, I’m assuming for use with some of their naughtier Japanese offerings.

6 ) A cool Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron stick-on patch.

7 ) One nifty mini-poster from the upcoming Star Wars videogame, Star Wars: Unleashed. This thing is printed on really heavy card stock so it’s a little cooler than just a crappy one off promo-poster.

8 ) And the most awesome thing of all, a unused Stormtrooper card back for the 30th Anniversary edition figure.

How can you get your grimy nerd hands on such a stupendous collection of trinkets that will be hereafter known as, “The Completely Ball Kicking Awesome Off the Hook Star Wars Celebration IV Prize Package”? Simply by leaving a comment anywhere on the site from now until June 16th will automatically enter you into the contest. Leave as many comments as you like as each and everyone will earn you a shot at winning. Please keep in mind that you’ll have to leave your real email address so I can contact you and let you know you’ve won. Don’t worry, I won’t be doing anything fishy with your email either. Also please keep in mind that I appreciate insightful comments and more than one word responses. Something like that might qualify as spam (see below for my spam policy).

If you’re a fan of Twisted ToyFare Theater and you think you can do just as good of a job (or better) at writing Twisted ToyFare Theater, then the king of toy magazines has a challenge for you.

Right now you can win some fine schwag over at the ultra cool toy blog, Millionaire Playboy. Well, it’s not so much a contest as it is a short survey that gives you the chance to win some neat crap. Head on over there and take the Millionaire Playboy survey through this link. I can guarantee you that they’re good with your mailing address, because I’ve been on their list for awhile now and I haven’t had any spam.

If you go over there, be sure to tell them that I sent you. Maybe if I link to them enough and praise their mightiness they might give me a little link loving in return. They have to notice my incoming links and love and adoration that go along with them. I kind of feel like the pimply faced fat girl who’s trying to attract the attention of the cool jock by leaving half melted Hershey’s Kisses in front of his locker. What do I have to make you love me Millionaire Playboy?

Oh someday he’ll leave the pretty cheerleader for me…. someday.
