Hey it's Fukoko here once again. I'm kicking off the prelaunch events of Akihabaka.com with 7 (yes 7!) days of free gifts for members of Figure.Fm and followers of our twitter! #akihabaka
First up are...two ultra rare Fraulein Revoltech Tohsaka Rin!
Two random twitter followers/Figure.Fm members will be mailed this gift free of charge! Only catch? Make a meaningful comment and you will be entered to win in our first...ever GIVEAWAY!
The Day 2 of 7 will be July 12th. Stay tuned and start twitting us if you want to win.
Also, my first post generated a lot of buzz about the Takamori Haruka Figure I got! I must admit, I fell in love with it at first glance. A little history about the figure...
Bought in HK
Used
Roughly $60 USD
Condition: 7/10 (Unfortunately it was damaged in transit when I put it in my suitcase. It was in rough shape to begin with but I knew I just HAD to have her. <3)
Beat Blade Haruka (an Eroge)
Here are some pictures I took with my LX3.
Definitely a great way to generate interest! Thanks for setting up this contest! =)
Yes I will agree with jabes. This is a great way of generating interest to your site even i am interested and can not wait till the site is launched. A small little note i would like to mention there seem to be a small spelling mistake in the description you spelled it Tohsaka Run insted of Rin:) and also about your Haruka figure she is still gorgeous even though its a little damaged!
Thanks for the heads up! Hehe, guess I was a tad bit excited when I posted.
Tis a smart way to publicise :D I seem to be your first twitter follower btw :DD Chuffed bout that myself :3
Haruka is purdy indeed, toyed with getting a Haruka a few days, since there have been a few versions released. I would have got one of the Koto's I think.
Love the name btw, 'Akihabaka' surprised its not been used before really, tis a very small, clever change :)
And I seem to be 2nd? ^ ^; Maybe linking to your twitter page will give people more motivation to follow.
I liked the name too. ^ ^
Well I retweeted it already, can tumblr it too :3
Took a while of thinking actually ^^;;....I was in front of my laptop for a while.
I always wanted a Tohsaka RUN! XD
Good luck with your venture. I'm planning to be a games designer myself. :D
Lol @IronFixXxeR! I need to expand my Fate/Stay Night figure collection and what better way then by getting a Tohsaka Run from a giveaway! Good luck to your blog, I'm sure it'll have many viewers! :D
I sure hope so. It's more than just a blog though. More like a lifestyle website XD. Akiba-kei.
Will add you to my twitter when I get home, iPhone not has "add" feature
o.O
Which app are you using? I've used a few and they've all had the capability to follow new people. Try TweetDeck or the official Twitter app (both free).
I'm using a 3GS with 4.0 and the latest twitter upgrade. Maybe it's that I'm still getting used to it, only had it for less than a month =0
If you're using the official Twitter app, go to the search function and type the username. Once you've found them, you can follow from their profile. ^^
Ah... Will try it next time, just added Akihabaka at home on the MBP, Thanks!!
ahhh sorry but I don't understand about what contest >.<
It's not really a contest. Just gotta subscribe to Twitter and make a neat comment here!
Following. ^^
This sound like buckets of win to me! I'll be sure to stay tuned and watch out, looks like this is going to be good :D
Also now following on twitter :3
Sounds awesome.... My only question: I get a "404 Not Found when I click on the link. (here and on twitter) Is it because I use Safari?
The site isn't launched yet....July 30th will be official launch date. And whoops, Tohsaka Run? Tohsaka Rin!!! Thanks for the heads up. XD
waaaaa.... i haven't seen fate/stay night yet(but has been planning to for a VERY long time). TT_TT
is it worth watching? @@
Not really. They reallydropped the ball on this one. They combined the three routes of the game into one complicated storyline. To really enjoy the series, get the game and play it thoroughly. xD
game, eh? i'd better find a copy of that then. or maybe i'll try mixing my brains out by watching the anime first. hahahaha
I watched the series before playing the games. Ruined the games for me a bit. XD
As many other people have stated, this is indeed a very wonderful way to generate interest *~*
Although I would say it's also a double-edged sword since there would be quite a number of people who would just stick around for the free stuff. Hopefully, as your site grows, you'd be getting a loyal following even without these figures you're going to give away :3
I'm pretty intrigued as to what you've stated in your first figure.fm post... a giveaway with each video blog (if I'm not mistaken)? You must really be generous (or you have some kind of magic sponsors behind all these). If I were in your shoes, I would make giveaways, but maybe just once or twice a year o.o;
I've been guilty of not updating my blog much these days. I should do something about that. ><; Will make sure to add you on my blogroll once your site officially launches!
I really hope people won't just stick around for freebies. While its nice receiving free-stuff once in a while, to really enjoy things, you gotta earn it. :) Thanks for considering my blog though, makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside hehe.
No problem! I do know the exact feeling of getting to know fellow bloggers and seeing people interested in your posts :3 I've been trying to get out of my chronic May sickness to make a new figure review already T_T
I think a lot of bloggers are putting out something from their own pockets for everything they have aotm, it's all about the love for our interests and sharing them with people more than anything else :3
It's because I want to share the love but yes...I might have to reconsider giving away so much free stuff. I am not sponsored at all but if I ever am, you can be sure I will
share the love even more. Until then, everything, including equipment I use for any reviews or features will come out of our pockets. o v o
Interesting,I hope you go far in this venture.
I hope I do too. XD
