Well another week came and went, and still no winners have contacted me yet- sorry I meant to post this sooner. I had to cover the store all week because my primary guy was sick, soooo yep still no winner. I have to admit I’ve never had a harder time giving away free stuff (fairly).
So now I really don’t have any more ideas of how to make this thing work. I tried to make the potential winner pool smaller, and that didn’t work. I can’t and won’t charge money for entry (possible illegal lol). I’m not even getting anything out of it really, except some buzz and maybe a few new followers. So what is a MBG to do? How can I make it fair to do a monthly give-away?
What do you think? Choose a winner from followers who posted a comment that week, month etc? Do a modeling/ painting contest? I really don’t know. How about we make a contest out of making a contest that works, lol? Please tell me what you think, I am all ears!
Thanks for reading- MBG

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
