Hey y'all, I just wanted to give you a heads up that when you're out shopping this holiday season that you should remember that there are others less fortunate out there and that you might want to think about donating to Toys For Tots. To help encourage you to give this year, I'm running the 2nd annual Joes For Tots contest. All you have to do to enter is take a picture of yourself donating toys or send me proof of an online cash donation. What can you win? Good question! Here's the list of stuff: - Sideshow 12″ Cobra Commander – From Sideshow Toys - Battle Front Clone Pack, Battlefront Droid Pack, Crimson Empire Pack, G.I. Joe Mars 3 Pack – From Brian’s Toys -1 Custom Action figure in 6″ or 3.75″ scale (your choice of character)- From Evan Jones of FigureRealm.com - 2 50 Dollar Credits – From Big Bad Toy Store - 5 $10 Gift Certificates – From 80sTees.com - Electronic DeLorean – From ArticulatedDiscussion.com - 9 Mini-Mates gift sets consisting of 24, Back to the Future, and The Spirit – From Luke’s Toy Store - ‘09 SDCC Exclusive Stormtrooper Commander – From DinosaurToyVault.com - Masters of the Universe Classics He-Ro – From DinosaurToyVault.com For more rule details and to see how the prizes break down please visit PoeGhostal.com, the host of this year's contest. You can also follow the official Twitter page for news updates and extra stuff. Thanks!

awesome thing you're doing here! And I'm not even kidding that about 5 minutes before you posted this, I was thinking of what I was gonna donate to Toys for Tots this year!
Quick question though... how are winners chosen? based by amount of donated material, or chosen at random, i.e. person who donates 3 neo-vipers has an equal chance at the person who donates a Pit. |

Slight bump for the day crowd that hasn't seen this. I don't want anyone to miss their chance at winning a Sideshow Cobra Commander for doing something so simple!

This is my plan to help the Kids (and fellow joe fans).
I usually donate cash through work (either Autism Rocks, or Tft). This year, I'm taking the 3 or 400 bucks I would donate in cash, going to Wal Mart/Target in my town (there's one of each) and filling a shopping cart with wave 1 - 3 peg warmers. You figure at roughly 5.50 (damn you state of CT sales tax!) a figure that's 72 single card joes. That will clear at least the Target in my town. The kids get the joes, Hasbro gets the sales, and hopefully I can find a damn SS. Snake Eyes sometime before 2013

Good plan. Be sure to take a picture and send it to me. If not for the contest, I love to see people dropping stuff off like that.

I dropped a $10 bill in a donation box a couple weeks ago and the guy in charge about flipped out over "how much" I had given as most only drop $1. I thought that was really sad that $10 was considered "a lot" for Toys for Tots. You can barely even buy anything good for $10 anymore.
