under Contests and Giveaways, Power Rangers

We teased it for weeks and it’s finally time to reveal it!

Our goal at San Diego Comic Con was to get as many awesome things as possible to give away to our fans, users, and social media followers! And while some of our contest item attempts were thwarted due to insane lines, policy changes from Bandai, and overall work versus play-time, we did snag a few things and have bundled them together for some fun prizes!

Without further wait, here are the prizes! Click the title of the story to check out pictures of each individual prize.

The Grand Green Prize[/u]
The Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is an icon of the brand, and the actor who brought the character to life, Jason David Frank, went on to be the most popular Power Ranger of all time. The Grand Green Prize celebrates the character of Tommy Oliver, and is yours to win!

  • SDCC 2013 Bluefin Tamashii Power Rangers Action Card Game S.H. Figuarts Red & Green Ranger card, mint in bag

The 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers is upon us, and the current iteration of the brand, Power Rangers Megaforce, heavily plays on the original series featuring five teenagers with attitude who spend their off-time at Ernie’s – just like the original five! They power up using cards to morph and call upon their weapons and Mechazords. There were seven cards exclusive to San Diego Comic Con 2013, and all seven of them are yours to win in one shot!

  • A full set of the 7 SDCC 2013 exclusive Power Rangers Action Card Game cards all mint in bag (S.H. Figuarts Red & Green Ranger, Red Mighty Morphin, Dino Megazord, Green Mighty Morphin, Red Ultra Megaforce, White Mighty Morphin, and Red Mighty Morphin with Dragon Armor)

So how do you go about winning these great prizes?

Between now and the end of the month of August, we will post three items on our frontpage – they could be news stories, a toy gallery, a site update, etc. – and if you see the following catch phrase in the news story:

“Post in this discussion thread, retweet this news post on Twitter, and “Like” this story on our Facebook for your chance to win the ______ Prize!”

…just follow the instructions and you’re entered! It’s important to note that we will NOT announce the contest entry in the news story title, it’s up to you and your peers to check out our updates to see if it’s a contest story! We may or may not hint at when a contest story is coming.

There’s three ways to enter for each prize!

1 – Post in the discussion thread of that news story (you must be a member of TokuNation.com to do so, so hurry up and register today!)
2 – When the news story hits Twitter, retweet it! (so make sure you’re following us @TokuNation on Twitter!)
3 – “Like” the story on our Facebook (so be sure to ”Like” us on Facebook!)

Entries from all three places will be pooled together and one winner will be randomly selected for each prize. You have a way to enter three times (through the site, Twitter, and Facebook) so be sure to increase your chances at winning by doing all three!

NOTE: Due to our RSS feed, we realize that our Twitter feed will post the news story from the frontpage, as well as a second time when it hits Facebook. We will only honor one retweet of the contest entry story as a contest entry. You are more than welcome to retweet both of the tweets just to make sure you’ve entered, but you will NOT be entered for both.
