And good on the folks who didn't give up after they saw 6 "I found it!" comments - the reason is that some of those commentors didn't qualify. Made it clear that giveaways are for members who regularly participate in the community - and not folks who signed up just for the goodies.
I want to continue to reward as many members as possible who have been contributing to the community - so more goodies it will be then? Made possible thanks to Peter Payne at J-List.
Next up will be...
1 x figma Tsukasa
1 x figma Kagamin
And a bunch of calendars. Kanokon yum.
1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/YOYA355 (Totoro)
1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/NIECAL09-001 (Shirow)
1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/CL176-09 (Naruto)
1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/CL203-09 (Kanokon)
1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/CL177-09 (Bleach)
And if you dont end up wining any calendars, J-List have a load of them including idols, anime and nekkid 3D too ^^;
And they is be doing a figure sale too.
To participate in the fun n games, all you have to do is find this idol on this site - send the url of the post or article that includes a picture that I took of her to [treasurehunt at jlist.com]
Quick rules
-You will send mail to [treasurehunt at jlist.com] with the URL of the page you found this idol at.
You will also include a url to your profile page like http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/danny/
-The first person to mail J-List gets to choose what they want. The second person gets to choose whats left. The third chooses what remains etc.
-If you have not been registered for more than a month then register now and wait for the next giveaway.
-Dont bother to comment spam as your profile page makes it easy to see what you have been commenting on. This giveaway is for members who regularly participate in the community by commenting or posting news.
-J-Llist will only contact winners.
-When the idol hunt is over, J-list will let me know who the winners are and I will post their names.
-*Do Not* post your answer here or be banned straight away.
-Only one entry per member - multiple entries are disqualified.
Just to let you know that everybody who got the answer correct previously but didnt win anything still got a 5 USD voucher to spend at J-List.
Arms Installation is complete. Good luck.
And for those who cant be bothered to register and participate in the community yet - have a lookie at the past giveaways.
I value all readers but especially value the folks who participate in the community which is why I want them to get the goodies.

Now- does it have to be the same picture as up there, or just the model shown?
I sent an e-mail in hoping for the "model shown" tactic. Haha XD

I tried to enter the last contest, but i couldn't think of a successful way to send my screenshot. I tried to attach it to an email and it wouldn't load up. I had everything else completed and ready to send over and this was before there were many comments.....
And the prospect of searching around for an idol who i can't possibly recognize isn't an appealing one.I can't name one idol, let alone differentiate between the thousands that all look similar....
How about a contest not based on searching for something on a website, and not structured in a way that benefits folks who happen to be on when you post the contest. Because we all know there are folks who are here often!! How about a skill based contest involving drawing, mangas, music, or video that must be otaku related. that would inspire folks to be creative and it would be fun. Though it wouldn't result in having users spending lots of time on Jlist or your site, so i guess the benefits gained from that would be lost.
Of course then people with no skills and just lots of free tie would complain so i guess can't please em all

Breast Question.
Are these real, you think? They're quite large for such a slim girl. They look pretty convincing if they're not... Is breast implant surgery so good in Japan that I can't tell? When I see fake breasts on Americans I can usually tell right away, as the surgery doesn't look natural.

Been to her site...as far as I can tell from her personal pics, they look real... ^_^
