New guy here, raffle donation made. I did it Tuesday, no badge yet?

We don't need no stinking badges. 

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

I just want people to see I am new and donated, so people who have been here for some time have no excuse.

Don't worry, you're good.  jbacunn was quoting from one of the best classic movies of all time.

 

 

 

I'm in for a bunch of entries too!  Yay!

NEW SETS ADDED!!!!

I added another bundle...A FRIENDS Bundle and a 21110 Research Institute.  A very generous member, auntiemamel, donated a lot of the sets.  I would like to thank her!!!

Another batch of tickets from Costa Rica! Keep on giving everybody!

Awesome, I will grab some tickets in the name of my girls for that one.

I just read this, I guess I've been a bit lazy but I'm keen to contribute if it's still going.

I went to a Catholic elementary school as I'm first-gen Polish Aussie. I'm not a practising Catholic anymore but I'll still give back because this is a great site :-)

Alright, I'm selling likes!

I've already bought some raffle tickets, but just for fun, for every "like" this post gets from members who joined before the time of this posting, I'll spend an equal amount on more tickets, up to $250.  If it gets beyond that, I'll figure out how much more I'll spend.

 

Let's set a like record!

Page 25 on the app for me... and I cursed you every time I had to keep searching every page until I found that post. LOL

I gotta start using the website again, I didn't even know we HAD badges here.

I put a direct link to ME's post so you don't have to worry about what page it's on.

We are at 97 likes/$97 Donation.  Let's make it $250.00!!  Go to page 10 and LIKE!

You're going to have to add another like button. ;-)

Who could say no to him! If SPS doesn't get the money he gets the axe! lol! 

 

I just bought some ticket and  hopefully I'll be able to do at least another $50 before the deadline. I'm not too lucky so I don't expect to win anything (but I'll still try ) I'm happy to support BP, though.  I hope you guys make your goal, GL.

Sadly, he won't be the only one getting the axe if we don't raise the money....

I understand that, I know you understand that but there are a lot of others that don't.  Just mentioning it about higher dollar sets as well as a few friends and I have tracked it and the percentages are pretty eye opening especially on Amazon.  

I too buy sets over retail. Not much but if I feel can still make some money will do it.   Bought some SSD last year at 500-600 and did well with that.  

Mainly just throwing 1 more jab into you not selling a set for a bazillion years as well.

It's all about time and lack of it.  Just packaging and shipping the sets to the LEGO raffle winners will be an issue.  LOL. Believe me...I know what's ahead.  For me it's about a "Rainy Day or College Fund."  I am really screwed.

Threaten your kids to pack and ship or you'll send them to a crappy college.

That's a great link right above, lets revive this forum a little BPs!

if you got your money on bundle #5, you may just be getting my bricks too

anyway, as cheap as I am, as lazy, as....as NOT-participating-in-SH.T as I am, I'm going to make a little version of Mos_Eisley $-4-likes idea, give this post 10 likes and I'll spend $10 on raffle ticket, up to 50 likes/$50! Let's go. (I'll pay on last day of the raffle Ed) And on the side, buy some tix too! Plus like Mos_Eisley post that I provided...

Likes don't cost anything. Let's give these people some likes.

You are certainly correct there.... the power of choice is lost with every private school that closes. That is why St. Paul's isn't about a Catholic school closing....  it is about losing the power of Choice....if every private school closed, you would have NO CHOICE but to send your child into public school-- almost being forced into it. The old Catholic Schools with mean nuns and scary priests are gone.... what is within the walls of Catholic Schools these days are computer labs, STEM programs, robotics clubs, Science clubs, academic competitons, honor societies and language clubs... and perhaps a lego club or 2 lol ---- 

 

Would be a lot more convenient if Paypal was a option, still will be donating but hopefully something to think about for the next fundraiser.

Hmm. Since every news site and blog seems like they are running articles on how good investing in LEGO is. Why don't we start posting somthing like " Brickpicker forums is currently running a raffle for some of the most wanted sets" with a link to the raffle page forums in the commnents after the articles

Okay. I'm in.

Think I read somewhere that someone donated a new gt350 for your school??   Don't know where I seen it but they said drawing would take place toward mid to late summer if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, just thought that was cool, I'm in the market for the next gt500 but will probably throw some tickets at the raffle for support.
