A little bit about myself if anybody wants to know since this is my first group break. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Platteville in the fall of 2010 with a BS in Engineering Physics with minors in Mathematics and Nanotechnology. Currently I work for Terso Solutions, INC. as a Mechanical Engineer where we develop RFID enabled intelligent enclosures. My fiancée and I have a 8 month old Caviler King Charles puppy named Charlie and I have lots of pictures of him if anyone wants to see. I also know a very reputable breeder if anyone is interested in a puppy of their own.
I was thinking the best way to do this may just be a draft slot break with slots for
- Each hit (3 per box * 24 boxes = 72 slots)
- The mini's out of each box (24 boxes = 24 slots)
- An entire box of base (24 boxes = 24 slots)
A random will be done between all slot holders to see who the box toppers go to.
Which would give us a grand total of 120 slots and with a case being about $975 that would amount to $16.25 a slot before any fees and shipping. Shipping can later be computed depending on what you pick with your slots so nobody has to overpay for shipping. This way everyone could get a piece of anything they want. Also make the buying/trading of slots rather fun.
