I show the average at $201.28 so, between our fuzzy math, close enough. Here's the breakdown:

Santa Claus ($537+)
Ho, Ho, Ho! Triple your money or better: 14 chances, 9%

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer ($358 - $536)
Merry Christmas! Double your money or better: 6, 4%

Yukon Cornelius ($174 - $357)
Silver and Gold! Money Back: 20, 13%

Professor Hinkle ($100 - $173)
Time to write "I am very sorry for what I did to Frosty" a hundred zillion times: 42, 28%

Heat Miser ($79 - $99.95)
Whatever you touch melts in your clutch: 50, 33%

The Grinch (<$79)
$100 loss! Looks like coal this year: 18, 12%

Overall, this one looks like high risk, high reward. About 1/4 will feel pretty good and about 1/2 will feel pretty bummed. With an improved price point, this one is already better than the previous promotion at $179 for $30,000 in product. I think adding 5 or 6 $100 gift cards to the items in the Heat Miser category would bump the Yukon category up about 5% making this a pretty solid deal without much additional burden to Blowoutcards. It's also missing the BOOM factor that a $1,000 gift card adds as well. On balance, it's "ok" and close to being "good".

you are awesome for doing this. thank you very much!

In for 1 spot fo the first time on one of these promos....hoping for some beginners luck and for some last minute additions like there was in the Naughty or Nice Promo. Good luck everyone.

ncluett · 12-16-2012, 12:29 AM

In for 2 spots!

tke96 · 12-16-2012, 07:07 AM

73 slots left.

In for one, may hit another before the world ends....

blegit07 · 12-16-2012, 09:18 AM

Won the $1212.12 gift card and a wii U on my 1st try last promo. I'm in for this one as well. Gotta try and ride the hot streak!

Good luck! Funny thought....did you use part of your giftcard on this?

It will be tough to top that last win!

blegit07 · 12-16-2012, 09:52 AM

Sadly No! Bought $1200 worth of boxes on Wednesday and didnt even think about saving some of the giftcard for another promo. Oh we'll. got some fleer retro basketball and some other goodies coming in this week to bust.

Hugemojo · 12-16-2012, 02:16 PM

I have a feeling that BO will need to kick something in to get this sold. If that's the case, I'd suggest bulking up the lower end items, not the opposite.

DizzyDSki · 12-16-2012, 03:56 PM

Had great luck in the last one - in it to win it one more time

Good luck everyone!

twizza12 · 12-16-2012, 08:23 PM

They really need to put some bigger top end prizes in here, seems like waaaaaay to many chances to lose on this one....maybe a couple $500 or $1000 gift cards will be thrown in, the spots will fill up fast if this gets upgraded a bit

carl2001 · 12-16-2012, 10:08 PM

I hope they add something but the promo is already half filled.

armyatc22 · 12-17-2012, 08:47 AM

Bump to the top...full this for a random today!!

budly99 · 12-17-2012, 09:50 AM

Thanks for all the value posts. Nice job. I lost a little the last time I played.....can't pull the trigger on this one. Hope they throw some more out there, though.

navydude21 · 12-17-2012, 11:51 AM

I'm 1-4 in these promos. All of my loses were boxes priced $50-90. This one is too risky for me. Good luck to all that do get in

IHaveHisCard · 12-17-2012, 01:21 PM

In for 1.

Hope they sweeten the pot to hurry this up! Anxious!

tke96 · 12-17-2012, 02:00 PM

At this rate...we will reach the apocalypse!

I already jumped in.....come on in...the water is fine!

armyatc22 · 12-17-2012, 02:31 PM

Bump it up...add some more its not like we will be around to see any of it lol

khauser86 · 12-17-2012, 02:56 PM

There are 18 case spots correct?

tke96 · 12-17-2012, 03:12 PM

See the post at the top of this page......don't remember how many we're cases....but you can get an idea from the top.

jayred7 · 12-17-2012, 04:23 PM

keeps goin this slow everyone will withdraw...

Clvlnd · 12-17-2012, 04:58 PM

I have yet to see one go this slow. Figured my $50 box would be on its way here already!

twizza12 · 12-17-2012, 06:04 PM

Rolling with the idea that they got us, and its gonna fill no matter what, but I can't lie, the more I look at the week list the more I think it would be better to withdraw, and just buy the ox I want...cause there are waaaaaay to many misses in this crop

doodwheremycard · 12-17-2012, 06:34 PM

Send more spam emails that would get this rolling.

tyweb1 · 12-17-2012, 06:45 PM

I just picked up one of these. Never did this before so I will see how it goes.

twizza12 · 12-17-2012, 07:50 PM

Should roll with my idea f getting I'd of the 50 bad items and rolling wit 100 people or 100 good items
