I finally had time late last night, while Friday Night Magic was raging in the background, to go though the Disqus system and pick some winner for our contest.
But before I get to all that, lets talk about more fun stuffs. Monday is actually the three year anniversary of this blog. It’s hard to believe, but Spikey Bits existed even before I threw my hat back into the ring of retailing once again.
It’s been a fast a furious few years now, but we never could have done any of this without you, our loyal supporters!
So free stuff aside, thanks for being there for us.
A New Hope (for Free Stuffs)…..
Now to celebrate a good many things all at once, this month’s giveaway will reflect what the blog is all about, the hobby. I’ll announce the new contest, next Saturday April 14th. So make sure you check back then for then for all the info on yet more free stuffs from Spikey Bits.
Adepticon Closing Fast
As you may have noticed Adepticon is this month. I got a nifty new Twitter app for my phone, so you know I’m going to be tweeting and posting up a storm all about whats going on at the event.
More on that soon, but if I was a you, I would make sure to sign up for all the Spikey Bits channels if you haven’t already so you don’t miss a minute of Adepticon 2012 coverage!

Congratulations to the winners. Please send me an email from the account associated with your Disqus commenter profile containing your follower name (if different), real name, and mailing address so that my bits ninjas can get you your swag. If you could please put “Contest Winner” in the subject line as well, so it gets sorted properly.
Paints you Say?
Oh and don’t forget right now we have yet another small give-away going on in conjunction with our special on the New Citadel paints, that you may want to checkout here.
I think I’m going to run out of things to giveaway shortly… -MBG
Original March contest info below, enjoy!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To celebrate the new releases, in a way that everyone can participate in (for FREE of course)- we’re doing another giveaway!
Check it out, this one is really easy too!
All you have to do to enter to win a shiny new Tervigon, Hive Tyrant, or Thunderwolves kit is: Be a follower of Spikey Bits, and post at least one comment on here between now and March 31.
I’ll choose THREE winners, that’s right three winners one for each of the three new kits, from the comments left on the blog by followers. So the more comments you post the better (not that we need more commenters per ce, it’s just easier to choose from a list in the Disqus menu, and the last “voting” contests ended with shenanigans).
I’ll pick the winners around the end of March/ start of April. So the more posts you make the better, but please don’t spam, and remember the blog rules; no cursing or attacking others.
Oh and here’s the LINK to “follow” the blog.
So that’s it, short and sweet, good luck to everyone! -MBG
(I know, I know… there are Fenrisian Wolves too, but why win a $25 kit when you can win a $50 one, right?)
