Commemorative Bricks Shipped

I took advantage of BZP downtime to finish shipping all the Commemorative Bricks we sold. That was no mean task... I sold 140 of them (very close to my goal of 150), which was excellent. Thanks to everyone who bought one or two!

 

The International shipments should get there in a week to 10 days. The domestic US ones should mostly be delivered by now. I feel good about that project - it cost me a couple of hundred out of pocket, but the end result was very cool, and produced something that (apparently) a lot of people wanted. It also helped put more than $500 toward BZPower hosting costs - which will help, because we are now on a more expensive server.

 

It's too bad I was never able to get the BZP DVD-ROM project off the ground, but at least a couple of good things have come from it (like Greg's Toa Tuyet story, and the engraved bricks).

Got mine a few days ago. Very nice! Almost better quality than real LEGO bricks.

 

(Quality control, TLG. Quality control.)

 

HT is enjoying his grip on BZP, though. Haha.

I don't have mine yet. Did you send any to bundalings@yahoo? Please say yes... I never got the recept, because I accidently blocked Paypal's address. Do you think, if I made a mistake, I could buy some from you now? I mean, if they don't come in a few days.

I love receiving things I expected (and wanted) in the mail. *Glares at junk mail I didn't order*

 

Let the planning begin.

What exactly is going to happen to 10 leftover bricks? I am just wondering because there may be chance that people still want some. I also can think of a few ideas of how you could get them sell off too.

 

Like for an example: you could like offer to people, who are sign up for Premier membership that don't have enough money for lifetime membership, but more than enough for a year; a chance to also get a Bzpower Commemorative Brick with it.

 

Of course, that just my idea of what you could do with it. Man, if only I could have use Paypal, then I could have want. Oh well. ~JMJ-07

Yay!

 

They arrived today... lovely.

 

However, one of the has some paint smudges and scrapes... oh well. Still cool.

 

And if you are willing to sell those extras off for cheap...

Just got mine in the mail today. They're cool, the blue bricks were a good choice, fits with BZP's color scheme.

 

Maybe someday you could make slope-bricks with Tohu's face on them. Now those would be awesome.

Ha, offer the remaining bricks as contest prizes. It might be a bit cheeper than giving a titan to a BBC winner, but be mighty cool and rare.

 

Glad you made a profit, Bink. The DVD-Rom thing isn't completely out of the picture, right? Like it could happen in the next ten years or so, right? :P

 

And thanks again for working so hard to keep the server up.

My brother and I are awaiting ours. I'm glad that BZP could profit from this fundraiser and that I could be a part of it. :)
