Hi guys, I got this email today from Heather Schafer at DST and wondered what your thoughts were.

Dear Chris Hartley,

In order for us to show you how much your loyalty means to us and to thank you for participating in our

It's a good possibility. DST has sent me a BTVS cheerleader variant one time, and then I've won a few items off of their myspace profile (sadly, they don't do that anymore either). I wouldn't be surprised if the good boys at DST were doing this. Let us know what you get! smile.gif

My only thought was they may not want to ship to the UK. But who knows, I'd love to be pleasantly suprised!

I got the email too, same sender name. It would obviously require DST access to send these emails, however the email is quite bland compared to their newsletters. I'm going to wait to find out more about it...

I got one too. I would say it is legit. It is not like they are asking for your credit card or social security number.

I got it too. It's real. I sent in my address and received a TWOK bloody Khan in the mail the next week.

I got one of thee about two weeks ago and received a Minimate of Six in red dress from BSG. Definately cool of DST to sen out stuff like this. Cool hearing about the bloody Khan variant being sent out too!

The Serpent Guards are probably long gone by now. They will probably send you the Steve the Wraith figure. That is if you asked a Stargate question.

I got my Genesis Khan figure for asking a question for the Q & A on ArtAsylum.com.

I ghave it to a good friend, but it was great to get a freebie for asking a question on their blog.

Glad to see that DST is still doing the freebies. I was afraid they were going to stop that.

I got home and had a red dress six battlestar minimate waiting in the mail box. It was pretty nice for just asking a question.

Well, I got a Genesis Khan in the mail today. I'm massively impressed that DST have done this. It shows a real intent to do well with their customers. I'm also impressed that they shipped to the UK, which is something they are yet to offer in their online store. Good Work DST!

I too received a Genesis Kahn in the mail yesterday and the address info was hand written. Nice touch and gift. Now I have one opened and bagged.
