On the Second Day of Christmas...

Sorry for the delay everyone. I didn't realize the complexity I'd added, and then of course I got caught up in the Holiday. But don't worry, I didn't forget.

So, first off, I want to thank all of you for a fantastic year. I have had a lot of fun, a lot of trial, but I'm proud of what I've accomplished, and I'm grateful for your support. If it weren't for many of you, I never would have continued after this years unpleasantness.

I've got some big plans for next year, such as trade shows and conventions, and I hope you will all be willing to be a part of it. Also we are planning on our second bag to get released soon, and some new lasering ventures. Rest assured, I'll keep you all informed.

So, without further delay, I present this year's winner of the Outrider Hobbies Christmas Present:

Jeremy Harder of O'Fallon, IL

Jeremy is the winner of a Force Operations: Ranger bag complete with a set of foam cut to his specifications.

But wait! There's more!

Jim Leitzel of Columbus, OH is a winner as well. He gets a set of foam to fit in a Ranger Bag, unfortunately though, no bag.

"Is that all?" you ask. Of course not!

The first 10 people to respond to this email will get two troop trays of their choosing (40 Troops, 30 Troops, 21 Large, or 15mm Infantry).

So, in closing, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Thank You again.

Thanks,
Bryan Wade

PS - Watch for the New Years day sale. I think it will go great for those new armies you all got for Christmas.

Small Snafu In The Christmas Present

Hey everyone,

Sorry for this not being the exciting post you wanted to see, but I ran into a problem with sorting out who was subscribed to the mailing list and who was following on Twitter and Facebook. I will figure it out in the morning and post hopefully before I go to work. (Yes, the normal job is making me work on Christmas.)

Thanks for Understanding,

Outrider Hobbies Christmas Present 2010

Well fellow gamers, it's that time of year again. Time for the Outrider Hobbies Christmas present!

If you participated last year, I hope you'll be interested again this year, as it's going to be BIGGER! This year we aren't just giving away foam, We are giving away enough foam to fill a Force Operations Ranger Bag. Yes that's right, you get the bag too! And who knows, if we get a good response, we may even give more than one set away. So tell all your friends.

This year will be a bit more complicated, but not much, and it still doesn't cost anything. So, what are the rules then...

1) Sign up for the Outrider Hobbies Newsletter. Don't worry, we won't spam you with a lot of useless junk. Moving forward however, we are going to be offering email only specials. So if you want to stretch your gaming dollar as far as possible, you are going to want to be on that list. You can find it on the right hand side of the screen. You may also sign up for the mailing list by registering at http://www.foamcorps.com/.

If you are already on the list, just make sure you complete part two.

2) Follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook. Again, not for tons of spam, but there will be exclusive offers there as well. Also more updates about where you can find us, great places to play, and great people to play against. Again, you can do either of those on the right hand side of the screen.

3) Be good this Christmas season. Like last year, we don't really have a way to enforce this, but it doesn't hurt to remind you that Santa is keeping notes. Just saying.

So, really that's all you have to do. Nothing crazy. No purchase necessary. Just giving something back to the gaming community.

On Christmas Eve (sometime after I finish prepping the presents under the tree for my boys) I will send out an email through the mailing list announcing the winner.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at info@outriderhobbies.com.

Oh, and if you'd like to see last year's winner, check out this thread.
