Monster, take a pic of your collection and send it to them, I´m pretty sure your luck would change immediately.

Raffles can be a crapshoot. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I lost out on the first two and didn't even bother for the Vader one. It doesn't give me much hope for later this year when they'll offer the 5-pak Clone Commanders. That'll probably be a raffle too.

My real concern is the Clone Commanders as well. Those I want for my collection.

The B&W maquettes I can live without.

I prefer the raffle system, it should only be limited to paid members not just any club members. Trying to through by phone or computer can be fraustrating. I have missed many exclusives this way. Ask the Bowen or Sideshow guys.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

I seriously don't think so. The only way to have the "enter the raffle" button available was login into your GG account.

I posted this at GGC.com - and it is based on a poll there saying 23% of people won nothing. I'd love to hear your thoughts:

Man... I think 23% of people missing out on the b&w raffles is a bit too high. Very few people won all three (1 here at GGC.com and a few on RS I think)... but I agree, that if raffles are gonna continue... I'd hope GG weights them some how. No one should ever be EXCLUDED from a raffle... but I think the raffle should weigh in prior luck as well as how long you've been a PG member. Something like this?

Every 3 months you get a bonus raffle entry. Every raffle you win costs you one raffle entry in a future raffle. So here is an example. GG hypothetically raffles a Jar Jar bust one year from the date the PG started, The Jar Jar is the 7th raffle (oh God, I know... but follow me here):

Person #1 has been in the PG 1 year. He gets 4 raffle entries for that.
He won 3 prior raffles. Since this is the 7th raffle... there are 7 entries... but he loses 3 from prior wins... giving him 4 entries. So 4 entries + 4 = 8 entries total

Person #2 is a newbie. Just joined PG. No 3 month bonus entries. He gets 7 entries since he has not won any previous raffles. Total = 7 entries total

Person #3 is a middle of the road guy. He's been in the PG 6 months. So he gets 2 raffle entries. He has participated in and won 4 raffles in a row (lucky dog!) So he gets those 4 subtracted from 7 and ends up with 3 entries. So he gets 2 + 3 = 5 entries total

Person #4 is an unlucky guy. He's been in the PG since day 1... so he gets 4 entries for that. He has been in every raffle and lost every one! Oh God! He gets all 7 raffle entries. So 7 + 4 = 11 total entries.

Summary:

Person #1 - long time member - moderate luck = 8 entries
Person #2 - newbie... no track record = 7 entries
Person #3 - not a newbie or vet - awesome luck = 5 entries
Person #4 - long time member - bad luck = 11 entries

Seems to me to be pretty fair! Again, I'm not really a raffle guy... but what do you all think of swabie's formula of doom if these are gonna conitue?

I welcome all suggestions and "You're an idiot" posts.
