ITS BACK!!! the multi-forum hotwheels/matchbox toy drive for 2005 check the contest section for more info... or
http://www.scionlife.com/xmas/
for the rules...

"4. The contest begins on Monday, November 28th, 2005 and ends on Friday, December 16th, 2005. The last tally by 11:59PM PST is your FINAL score.
5. A photo of all toys contributed at the contribution facility or loaded to be delivered needs to be emailed to admin@scionlife.com by each website by Monday, December 19th! If a photo is not sent in by that time the website is disqualified from the contest. (You can't wait to donate until the evening of the 24th or the kids won't get their gifts!)"

I propose that at any and all M&G between those dates that all PNW members designate a person or 2 to collect those items and will work together to get them to Scionlife Admin in time to be counted....
they do take paypal donations and multi-packs are worth 1/2 the total # of cars in the pack... hotwheels and matchbox brand ONLY are counted for this contest I believe last year we had over 9 thousand cars donated between all forums...

Lets make sure Scion Life is At the Top of the donation list!!!!

Also being that the SCAAs are before the deadline and a lot local members are attending.. it seems reasonable to collect toys there as well... so if you dont make one of the regional M&Gs but are attending the SCAA's... I'll set up a box to drop the cars off in..

Lets go and see if we can top last years SL count of 1733 toys (2nd place)

oh this is crap, I bet the PNW region alone can beat 1733.

So here is my challenge to the PNW. I will personally throw a kegger for anyone who donated hotwheels IF the pacific northwest region can beat last years total for the entire board. I dont care how we get them (though setting up donation stations at dealerships would be a good start) but if we get 1734, I wil host a hotwheels keg blowout bash out of my own pocket for the region!!


SO BOOYA! GET TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm on it!

bump

no one? well Gabi and I have a few to donate but looks like I'm off the hook for beer and bbq! ( I really really wanted to hold a party for you guys too.......)

i'll put some together... but i cant do it alone.....

Just hit PayPal account up for 10.00! felt good to donate it 5.00 at a time too. SPREAD THE LOVE, DONATE!!!

Bump!! it started yesterday!!! start the collecting !!!!!

can a guy get a sticky?? huh?? whats a guy gotta do to get a sticky!!!

How are you going to know how many just the NW has donated? Especially if people are donating via paypal.

Just wondering...cause if you have a way of figuring it out, then I"ll make sure to follow that procedure. Cause I like beer. And BBQ :)

umm.. not sure about the paypal part.... maybe could bring a copy of the transaction (account #s blacked out of course) to any of the meets, or somthing??? unless could arrange with darren or troy to mark things "from the PNW" some how on the transactions..... hmm..

sticky'd

Havent gotten official "yeah that works" or whatever from admin yet... but i proposed the idea of those who paypal donations in... to put something in the comment feild like " from/for the PNW region count"... or somthing similar.. ...
so if you paypall your donations... add that.. and drop a note in this thread.. and we'll keep our own tally here just incase :)

Oh, well then in that case I just donated $2000. Bring on the BBQ! hahaha.

I think that will work. It should be too hard to keep a running tally of what was donated from up here.

lol... wooOOOT.... now just need confrimed from admin :P lmao....

Does this mean I have to bring them all down to Darren after the SCAA dinner? or is he going to be there?

:silly: Since we're a Scion site and we're having a toy drive. Maybe we should all donate Scion matchbox and remote control cars. This way we can really make a mark on the contest.

On a side note, I've seen the XB toys. Does anyone know if they sell TC or XA toy models or remote control cars? I'd like to get a TC one.

lol@Kelly.... um... if you are offering.....

Temple.... if you can find many of the scion hotwheels/matchbox cars go for it.......... as for the remote controll cars.. they wouldnt count towards the Scionlife count... just hotwheels or matchbox do...
and as for tC or xA rc cars... nothin out.... yet... that i've seen

wow... some scion regional manger Mike Davis out of oregon chipped in $350 put us a huge step ahead and into first place... :clap: :bow: :clap: :bow:

ok.. now from peruzing the list of donees... heres what i see from the PNW area.... kinda sketchy if we count Darren(scionlife) as part of our crew or not... but if its from his pocket and not the paypal donors.. then heres what i see

Darren Seeman (scionlife) $100
Dustin & Gabrielle Wilson (ohcanada_00) $35 PayPal
Mike Davis @ Scion NW Region $350

puts the PNW at
485 so far.. counting Darren/scionlife
385 w/o Darren/scionlife

woot, go scionlife its your birthday, go scionlife gonna make the poor kids happy.......

Why am I the only name on there? There seemed to me to be a lot more people than me and Darren in the PNW.......

:)

<<is plotting and scheming and stuff.....

I have actually been looking for something to sell on ebay... then all the proceeds would go to this....

then I realized I don't have anything anyone would want...

So I will have to make my donation money some other way....

Hey, count me in. Anyone know of stores that have better than 2 for $1? I am spending roughly $100 on these and want to get as many as I can. Send me a note.

i believe we have surpased the 2004 SL total of 1730 somthing.... just from the PNW alone :clap: :clap: :clap:

if there are any errors on the count please let us know... relativly hectic night last night and we want to give credit to those who donated... so shoot us(myself or Dustin) a PM if something needs to be adjusted. and we'll make sure things are fixed

Add Krista Marsh (my wife) for 30$ from the other list as well.

EDIT
oh wait, this list is just for the dinner isn't it...

Andersg & Kalel,
I dropped our cars off.....

yeah that list 2 posts above was from the dinner.... but its still all people from the PNW region... chalk up 30$ from Krista.....

puts the PNW total too........ 1929... right? i think?? sounds good...
so close to 2000 ... lets goo

Alright, I just added some. That should put us over the 2000 mark.

:)

Wow... PNW!!!!

:clap: :clap: :clap:

BCS... 100toys/$$

like i mentioned in the main toydrive thread... our next fundraiser will be to collect donations to help Dustin pay for the beer and BBQ.... unless every1 likes drinking Ham's beer and spam dogs/burgers

So here is my challenge to the PNW. I will personally throw a kegger for anyone who donated hotwheels IF the pacific northwest region can beat last years total for the entire board. I dont care how we get them (though setting up donation stations at dealerships would be a good start) but if we get 1734, I wil host a hotwheels keg blowout bash out of my own pocket for the region!!

He made his challenge... we came through.... Make him feel the PAIN of charity!

Totally Kidding... I'll bring the CHIPS! or donate what we need to make this community party happen!

I just think it's so awesome that the PNW got over 2000!

lol... i know... i know... he did say that tho.... but i'll be nice... i supply the SPORKS!!!
