    Not a bad idea but this contest will be for the full set.

    Flyers, this contest that you are possibly proposing is both a kind and noble gesture. Indeed, in its basic fundamentals is the mark of a true collector – one who does something not for monetary gain, but out of love for the hobby, and compassion for their fellow Hobbyists. :yes:

    No offense, but this is the most complicated and ridiculous ideas I have heard. WAY too much work, and seriously, who is going to send an extra $300 to escrow.

    Disclosure: I did NOT get one of the ASE sets, and I have no desire to own one. I like your idea of a contest, but as others have pointed out, it will be very difficult. I would echo the others who recommend you not do the contest for such a hot item. There are far too many people looking to make a buck; even ones who have all the best intentions or are well respected members of this forum. Just my 2 cents...

    What a super generous prize you have gone with.. I will be entering but I wanted to state that comment here first...
    Thanks for making it possible for someone that was not able to get a set earn the chance to own one.!!
