Mystery Sale - July 2009 Update
Phew! After about two weeks of hard work, we've finally shipped out all Mystery Sale orders. If you haven't received yours yet, especially if you live outside of the United States, please don't worry - the goodies are on their way.
Though the Mystery Sale is over, you can still get geektastic Science T-Shirts, Funny T-Shirts, nifty Ice Trays and other fun stuff at the Neatorama Online Store. Thank you to everybody who participated!
Neatorama Software Upgrade
We're going to be doing a maintenance/upgrade soon on Neatorama - if everything goes well, you shouldn't notice anything. If not, then, well, pardon the hiccups!
Upcoming Queue
As I've posted before, the Top 5 Submitter (based on Front Paged submissions) to the Neatorama Upcoming Queue for the month of August will win very cool prizes. The top dog will win an iPod Nano, whereas the rest will get cool stuff from the Neatorama Online Store.
As of today, the field is wiiiide open:

Meh, I could deal with a rubber duck but wish I had gotten a cooler one than the Lone Ranger! ha
Didn't know there were chances for such nice items though! Will probably try again next time around
Still, I'm addicted to these sales. I can't think of a better way to part with $10.00 (plus shipping and handling) of my hard earned cash.
Does anyone actually get anything good?
i was expecting along the lines of LOLcats book or t-shirt since the shirt size was asked.
if anyone out there actually likes these celebriducks, i will gladly send you mine...
Got Snoop Doggy Duck and Top Secret. Hoping that the second order is NOT the same thing.
Either way, for the money spent, complaining isnt going to get you anywhere. Next time if it is that big a deal, don't order.
I mean, do you guys rudely _demand_ a refund when you don't win the lottery!?! This is just terrible, It's just great for the rest of us that the neatorama staff can put up with your behaviour and don't just end Mystery Sales altogether.
I recieved my Celebriduck yesterday, I got Beetoven and it made me lul. I will be giving it to my nephew for his upcoming birthday - and it adds special character to it when it "came allll the way from America". :)
If I can catch the next Neatorama Mystery Sale / Lottery, I'll be in for it again.
The page tab/link is gone, but the forum is still there. http://www.neatorama.com/forum/
I got the flamingo and gave it to my 2 year old nephew who uses it as a bath toy. I let the top spin until the battery wore down then put it back in the packaging and gave it to a friend that has a lot of garage sales, maybe she can get a dollar for it.
I missed out on the sale this time. :(
