3 Figure Giveaway

Update - this giveaway is being held at figure.fm - you need to answer over there and not here!
Any answers here will be ignored.

No better way to start a day than with a bunch of free figures - and unlike the current two Otacool and 1070 USD giveaways, its dead easy to get them this time.
I have for you 1 "1/8 Louise Gothic and Punk Ver. PVC " http://www.hlj.com/product/ALT20208


1 Variable Motion Figure Reina http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT34590

And 1 1/7 Reco PVC http://www.hlj.com/product/MAX04115

The question is incredibly simple. Tonight my wife and I are going to watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and you need to guess which seats we are going to sit in.

This is a figure giveaway so you need to go over to this post at figure.fm to see the cinema layout and answer there instead where you will also find the incredibly generous clues. And you get two guesses!

Remember, if you had a dannychoo.com account before May 2009 then just try to sign in. If you cant then it means I did not import your account over to figure.fm - just signup with another account - its painless! Your dannychoo.com account and figure.fm account two separate things.

Rest of the rules over at figure.fm. Arms installation is complete - Good luck!

Ah, also, for folks who cant be bothered to view figure.fm can do so vis the RSS feed.

Looks like I'm going to get home sick tonight...

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

This item was posted in the Figures category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

      So quick to answer, and he didn't even give a clue! XD
      I would have at least waited, I have a feeling he hit the enter button before he finished typing...

    The seats you sat in, are they within the range of yellow seats on the picture? I'm not sure what the seats being yellow means.

      Deluxe seats

      They're bigger, more comfortable, got a table for foods~~ (I hear they recline too)
      And also, you're in the most optimal position(s) for the best audio and visual experience

      Obviously, they cost more than the standard seat

    I'd like to enter, but I don't want to make another account as it may mess with the stats of users and uniques per month for the site.

    Oh well, maybe next time, right?

    Nice work on figure.fm, however. Looks great!

      same here. it felt like it was lacking something because there wasn't any real resolution at the end. just a set up for the next flicks. the cave scene was awesome and i loved when Draco did that stomp. ^^

    I've heard a lot of good news about how awesome this film is and how much better than teh last one it is.

    Unfortunately, I don't agree. In my opinion they left out too many key points (fine it's still long but I'd rather spend three-and-a-half hours watchign something good that two-and-a-half watching something bad), It had such a slow pace to it, and by time it finally got to the good part, it was almost non-existant. It builds up to the epic climax. All the action in the book. And somehow they found the nerve to cut that from the films plotline.

    Too much googling at girls, not enough history, tense, action, and story. I can't believe I'm saying this but.. In my honnest opinion, this is a huge letdown to the franchise. They should feel ashamed.

    At least the last film kept me on the edge of my seat so-to-speak.

    For now. I don't have very high-expectations for the final film.

    Sorry guys. Didn't mean to rant.
