I'd rather put one large order with an online discounter than spend money this way. No, I won't win a 7' pile of product but I'll have more money at the end of the day than you will.

Looking at your signature, I have the feeling you spent significantly more than me, and by quite a lot

None, this week.
Followed by twice as many next week.
The Auld Grump, three times as many the week after....

I would use some of it to finish off my IG and Imperial Fists, the rest I would build an extra army I could donate to my FLGS as a demo army for noobies to play around with.
I already have 7 or 8 2000 point armies and really don't have a need for another. And I would just feel wrong winning this just to turn around and sell it all for a profit when I know there are people out there in this world who can't afford an army and really want to play. I don't want brownie points with my store, I don't want anything for it, I would seriously feel like gak selling it all or making another army I don't need laying around.

Indeed. It probably would have been the final incentive to buy some of the new Harlequins. As it is, I'll wait and grab them from eBay later.

sooo as a citize/resident of australia, if i ordered from the GW US store, had it sent to my mail forwarder in Oregon and won the golden ticket, would GW a)send the stuff to the mail forwarders warehosue for me to ship to aus, b) deem me ineligible for not being a US resident and/or c) try and get the IRS to tax me even though i'm not from the US?
actually the IRS can do whatever they want. i have no plans on ever going to the states

For me, its an excuse to buy the few web-exclusive items I want/need. I cant get them cheaper anywhere else, and the guy at my FLGS doesnt make much or anything when I buy them through him.
Ive been meaning to get the Sanctus Reach and Shield of Baal books, and they are all roughly $40-70, so theres an order or two I might do, might not.

Let's do this
So I'm working on a formula to make this easier.
82 / H = Q
P * Q = V
Where H=height, Q=quantity, P=price and V=value.
Now I just need to find a way to automate it so you can plug in a kit and it returns V.
You can do stuff like that in excel.

Honestly, for everybody complaining about the average height of a space marine earlier...you should see what a 7' tall stack of miniature boxes looks like, picture wise, not just the illustration they use on the website.
I don't think I can directly relink it from the local GW facebook page, so here.

5. Prizes must be chosen from Citadel miniatures available on www.gamesworkshop.com at the time the winner selects their prizes. Products from the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings ranges of miniatures, as well as any limited edition products, are excluded from the prize. For the avoidance of doubt, Citadel Hobby products, audiobooks and publications are excluded from the prize. ‘Realm of Battle’ products are limited to 1 per winner. Reasonable restrictions may be placed on individual product quantities by the Promoter.

Yeah, that says they're excluded from the prize. His question was, are orders with LotR models eligible to enter the competition.

A friend of me, who only plays LotR, got an envelope with his order.

No! That's not how this works. You can't just throw money at it and expect to win.
You have to throw it in GW's general direction and then you may expect to win. Of course, you can pretty much expect anything you want and 9 times out of 10 it'll come true but that's only under US law so I dunno how well that'd work here.
