I contacted Phil of Contest Blogger about the Darth Vader contest and it turns out that Phil is, in his own words, “the biggest Star Wars nut in the world”. That’s lucky for us because while the Contest Blogger may not be the first and original contest blog, it certainly is the best looking one.

It turns out that someone else also has a mimobot contest. I thought he copied me but upon closer inspection, it turns out he was one day ahead of me (… or is that because he’s in the US and a day behind the rest of us??). Never mind. He’s competition is only open for US residents and is a R2-D2. Who wants to be ‘cute’ when you can win the bad ass Darth Vader instead? :p

I’ll be buying this mimobot brand new from the online shop so this contest is open to anyone who has a proper mailing address that I can fill in on their form. All postage fees included… unless you’re in Antartica or somewhere that will cost an arm and a leg.
