I'm pretty sure Alex did it that way to reward those who were actually participating and not just logged into Crowdpurr via a code group notification. Still sucks that he didn't throw out a $1 bone to everyone.

And non US residents are of course of no importance to them.

After all only US residents buy from Sideshow, so screw international customers! Yay!

That honestly sucks. It seems like now it'll be impossible to get rewards unless you are lucky eough to be in top three or actually make a purchase.

Last year you could almost get 2x Hot Toys figures (low end) in rewards. This year we’ll be lucky to get one.



…. Which isn’t too bad when you stop and think about it.

Have you confirmed this w/SS specifically for RP? So, what, if they picked and called your name (because you did the whole "I agree" thing), and you emailed sideshow social to collect, they'd say, no, sorry, we can't electronically drop RP into your account?

I haven't personally, but we've all heard Alex saying it was only for US residents time and again.

Though in practice it's probably only the physical goods that that won't be rewarded.

When they first started using this method, whenever it was for rewards they would open it for everyone, and it was only the goods that were restricted. Sometimes they used different hashtags. But now it seems they only use the one hashtag, and they always mention the rules and restrictions.

I used my RPs from last year and a few from earlier this year to get just that. 2 HT figures. Bo-Katan and Chrome Mando w/Grogu.

Yeah, in practice I suspect it doesn't matter for RPs...either way, I'm not sure how they would tell aside from looking at the mailing address from a person's account, but they wouldn't need to do that if they're just applying RPs, so I doubt RPs via Streamyard giveaways would be denied if one is outside the US. You should just win one of them so we can test this theory

I might be late to the party. But did they change the max amount of rewards you can use ?
I had about $200 reward points. But last week I purchased an item and it would only let me use a max $75 reward points. It wouldn?t let me use more than that. It wasn?t overly expensive so I just paid but you can?t flat out use all your rewards anymore ??
