Once again it’s the time of year that the community and our staff love most – time for all of us to celebrate our respective holidays & traditions with the friends and loved ones we hold dear. But it’s also time for TokuNation.com to celebrate itself. Our little community is hitting another milestone this year, our 7 year anniversary!! January 4th 2019, will officially mark 7 years since TokuNation first went public as part of the network of TFW2005.COM, ToyArk.com, and HissTank.com through both network owner Tony_Bacala and our founder and original Editor-In-Chief, TokuChris.
For 7 years now we’ve posted news, rumors, toy galleries, videos, and even dabbled in podcasts for a bit (never forget Talkin Toku!). As times have changed we’ve done our best to change with them, delivering you content in different ways, covering new and exciting topics, and trying to improve our social outreach. This year we even had some leadership changes as I took over full time as Editor-In-Chief from our founder and my dear friend Toku Chris. But the more things change, the more they stay the same as well! There’s one constant that’s been with us since our first year – the annual Toku Toy Box giveaway!
Like years’ past, TokuNation is hosting an annual holiday giveaway open to ALL registered users! You’ll recall that in years’ past giveaways, users could post in a selection of galleries within the contest period to automatically be entered into the drawing for several prizes. This year however we’ve opened things up. Not only will we be posting a number of eligible galleries throughout the month of December, but every gallery we’ve posted in 2018 also makes you eligible! If you’ve already posted in the 1 of the over 40 galleries we’ve produced this year, then you’re already entered. If not, you already have over 40 chances with more on the way this month! To show our appreciation to you, the community, we’ve assembled a number of individual prizes instead of prize packs this year. We wanted to share the love around a bit more than we have with big concentrated prizes in the past. So this year will see a number of individual prizes distributed to our random winners, so there are even more chances to win this year than ever!
Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the OFFICIAL RULES for of Toku Toy Box 2018! The first new gallery of the giveaway period will be posted later today, so be on the lookout! For now though, thank you. Thanks to all of you who continue to call this place your home for news, discussion, images, sales, friendships, artwork, videos, podcasts, and everything else in between. Happy Holidays from all of us, and best of luck in our giveaway! It’s our gift to you this, and every, holiday season!
Toku Toy Box 2018 Giveaway Official Details!
TokuNation's annual giveaway Toku Toy Box returns for a momentous 7th year! To celebrate the holidays this season and our 7 year anniversary in just over a month we're back for another annual giveaway! Read on to find out how to enter!
In years past, throughout the month of December, we posted toy galleries that qualified you for an entry in the giveaway, just by posting in them. HOWEVER, as of last year we've been doing things a bit differently. For many of us, the holiday season can be a hectic rush and the last thing on your mind will be to visit a website for toys and TV shows to enter a contest. So in an effort to allow absolutely every user possible a chance to enter, we've opened things up. Not only will we be posting a number of new galleries all throughout the month of December like last year, but every gallery we've posted in 2018 up til now will qualify you for entry! If you posted a reply in any of the over 40 galleries that have gone live on TokuNation this year then you've already been entered. And if you haven't, you already have 40 opportunities for entry! With plenty more to come through out the month of December! Starting today!
For each gallery, you need only make one relevant (non-spam) post in that discussion thread to be entered into our giveaway! Seriously, any off topic posts, 1 word posts, etc, will be deleted and your entry will not be valid. Additional posts in the same gallery will not give you additional entries either. As stated we've already got 40 threads for you to use for entries from the last year alone, with many more going live over the course of the next month. Every time we post a new gallery you'll have yet another chance to be entered into our giveaway!
Now, for prizes this year. In previous years we've had some seriously massive prize packages. Concentrating things into 4 or 5 packages has worked great in the past and we've managed to really give some of you an epic holiday season with them. But this year, we wanted to change things. Rather than large prize packs, we'll be giving away multiple individual items or small groupings of items at random to our randomly selected winners. In this way, we can share just a little bit more with a few more people than we have in the past. We won't be revealing exactly what these items are just yet either. But trust us when we say, you'll know very soon the various items available to win
Toku Toy Box is open ONLY to registered TokuNation.com users, but this contest is also open worldwide. We will ship prizes anywhere to anyone. You just need to register and post in any of the relevant previous or upcoming photo galleries for a chance to win. Each time we post an eligible gallery we'll tag it so you know what to do.
NOTE: All Toku Toy Box Prizes are donated at the expense of the staff of TokuNation. Unless otherwise noted, no prizes have been donated from any company or outside entity. Winners must be in good standing on the TokuNation forums. Any member with 3 or more active infractions is not eligible for entry. TokuNation staff, TokuNation former staff, and network current and veteran staff are not eligible to win. TokuNation.com has the right to refuse any entry in to Toku Toy Box. Previous years' winners are no longer barred from winning either. Winners selected at random in January 2019.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: All forum rules are in effect. Click here to revisit our forum rules. Duplicate accounts on the forum are against the rules. Anyone found using a duplicate account to enter the contest will be permanently banned from the TokuNation.com forums, and disqualified from Toku Toy Box.
SITE REQUEST: If you win one of the various prizes available - congratulations! If you happen to already own one of said prizes that you've just won, we only ask that you please "pay it forward" ... instead of selling it, gift it to a friend, give it away, or do something of that nature. Keep the spirit of giving to each other alive!
Um... forgive me. There is no "Discuss on the TokuNation forums" link at the bottom of that post.
I just hope they'll be enough galleries I'll actually be able to discuss and relate to, this year.
Seeing this post go up and then witnessing every gallery of the year being bumped immediately by people farming through them all never gets old.
Anyways, the new format sounds interesting. Looking forward to what you guys have in store and what galleries we will get. Toy Box is always that time of year when some real gems from the collection surface. The vintage stuff especially is always great, I remember staring at the Kabutack pictures... 3 years ago? Damn.
More random stuff I remember: The gallery of Ultra-Act Ultraman Belial from last year (you totally summoned the Figuarts release by doing that Den-O, Tamashii saw it and went "Well now we have to.") and one year - I think it was 2014 - you had a Figuarts Broly pull the winners? I had to think about it now that they’re making the new one. Kinda sad that it won't be here for Christmas, that would’ve been a fantastic throwback.
"Damn it, I know I should've commented on those galleries earlier," he says knowing full well he cant win again
Let the chaos begin!!!
Woohoo ! Can't wait to catch up with the galleries and find out what the prizes will be this year!
Oh, cool! Haven't actually been on the forums before but this is a good change, I like this
Edit: Kind of feel like a jerk for not doing this earlier.
Edit: Edit: Which gallery should I start from?
