The IDW Limited Twitter account has just posted a surprise contest for the upcoming weekend. All you have to do to enter is take a photo of your Transformers collection (toys, comics, bedsheets, whatever you've got) and tweet it to their account, for a chance to win some free IDW Transformers goodies!

IDW Limited wrote:Hey twitter - we've got a weekend homework assignment for you! Tweet us a pic of your Transformers Collection for a chance to win free gear.

Use #IDWLTD to make sure you get our attention. (Showing off your Limited books would probably help your case) Now get to shootin'!

The deadline is Sunday April 14th at midnight (Pacific Time). We'll give out prizes on Monday.

There will be multiple prizes, including:

A Guido Guidi sketch
Some Sketch Covers of RID #1 & MTME #1
Some trades

As a special incentive to Seibertron.com members, if you are a member of this website and are the selected winner, you win an added hardcover "The Art of Transformers" book!
(You will have to PM Natecm on here to claim the extra prize, and follow IDW Limited on Twitter.)

Go take photos for a chance to win!

But I don't wanna join Twitter. :-(

I'm with ya, Burn. Maybe if we were getting an actual IDW limited hardcover, I'd be inclined to sign up. But as it stands, I don't need another social media outlet.

I really miss the days when you could just enter contests without Facebook or Twitter :-(

Does that make me a fan of Anti-social media :lol:

I'd feel like a twit if I joined Twitter. I already have a hard enough time reading fully worded posts (with very major misspellings) that some pass off as an example of their "superior education". :roll:

In other words, Twitter gives me headaches.
I would take a picture of my TransFormers collection, but most of it was stolen by one of my uncles, who was tasked to move a truck of my family's stuff to Florida. :BANG_HEAD:

What my collection now entails (in my house) is an MP-1 Optimus from Toys 'R' Us, a complete set of G1, one (wrecked) VHS and two different DVD copies of the original Movie, four Pretender shells (Cloudburst, Waverider, Landmine, and Bumblebee), Classics Rodimus, reissues of Prowl, Tracks, and Ricochet with Nightstick, two Micromaster gestalts (Superion and whoever the trains formed), a Rise of the Fallen Sideswipe, and a pair of pose-able figurines, also from Rise of the Fallen. I'm not including the knock-off Aerialbots in that list. Comic-wise: everything my sister gave me, which I'm having trouble locating... :oops:

But it's fun!

I enjoyed posing all the bots around the issues, personally.

As to everyone else: Yes, Twitter can be a bit of a nuisance, and I only joined this year (and only two months ago on Facebook, actually), but there are some really interesting developments showing up on it, and it's excellent for promotions and advertising.

Mind you, I completely agree with the limited audience it might reach for this sort of thing, and I would have liked to see the contest open to emails, too.
