Wow hasbro just wasted my time and scammed all of us. THere is no way 100 people called in under a minute.

[murakumo32]

I don't think Hasbro scammed us, you can have multiple lines to one phone number. Damn, anyone get through yet (besides me)? I've been on auto redial since...

Alright, after an hour of calling, I've lost hope. Anyone who wins has to take me to the war though.

[nerfer34]

OK guys check out my email I sent to hasbro-
Hello, I was watching Cartoon network for flipping 3 hours and I found the number to call nerf and I called it . I called it right when the commercial said it. The line was busy the entire time. I was really looking forward to this and now I am disappointed. Is there anything that you can do to get the contest back or something?

[SneakUP]

Lol I am not done calling, anyone who called post and tell us if you won anything.

GUYS I JUST CALLED AND IT SAID "sorry please try again". The same thing as Murakmo.....

Just WOW.....

[Uncle Hammer]

Those things are impossible to get through on. You have to have really fast fingers or you lose. They get 100 calls in under a minute. Theres thousands of kids calling all across america.

[Vicious-V]

Heh. I didn't see the commercial yet. I've been watching the whole thing. My time zone is Pacific...

[murakumo32]

If you want to win, get TIVO. Doesn't TIVO allow you to FF through commercials?

[SneakUP]

Wow you still cant get through at 1am eastern.

Nerfer34, the urge to suspend you is so great at the moment. But since it's Easter, I'm going to let your stupidity mull over for the next 24 hours. You had better hope the other admins feel the same way I do, because your posts and that email you sent make the typical NIC user look like an idiot. While it may be true that the typical user is an idiot, you just killed the facade. Way to go!

SneakUP, don't think your crappy posts are keeping you out of my sights either.

Hmm, when I call, all I get is a voice saying, "five zero eight five x."

1800-504-2300 is right, right?

Sorry Infinite its just that I was actually pretty disappointed at this "sweepstakes". ALso I didn't really send that email. HAsbro has been great over the years and refunded and sent me a new hornet when mine didn't work. I'd have to say Hasbro "messed up here" but they are still a reliable company. I was just kidding about sending that email...

EDIT- by the way what is a facade?

Also- Ya I have Tivo and it did help but you still got to go through and search for the comercial. Yes you can ffast forward, pause, rewind, record all of that.

I'd say hasbro did not "mess up", it's just that a ton of kids in eastern and central time zones watch toonami. It is not surprising that 101 of them called before you did. Unless you were sitting in front of your TV with your cordless phone with 1-800 already typed in, you didn't have a chance. As for you pacific guys, I think you got screwed over (I'm not positive on that though).

EDIT- by the way what is a facade?

A facade is a mask. It is something fake.

A cover up.

You may be hiding behind a facade when you try to make yourself out to be a tough guy and then when someone punches you in the face you cry like a three year old; effectively removing your facade.

Why are you guys even bothering to call? Give up, it's not even worth it.
