Every month on the 20th day, through December 2012, K'NEX will be giving away 20 products to 20 lucky fans! On the 1st weekday of every month a prize will be revealed and a new "mission" is assigned. Missions can be found on the K'NEX website: http://www.knex.com/20thanniversary/Mission20on20/ which directs participants how to find secret codes.

On the 20th of each month, when the contest closes, 20 winners will be randomly chosen from those eligible entries.

March 2, 2012 - The word has come down from collectors that Colossus is one of the best Marvel Select figures Diamond Select Toys has made in a long time -- possibly ever! So we're asking you to take pictures of him! Send us a picture of your Colossus in the coolest pose and setting, whether it's as part of a killer diorama on your shelf or in a brutal fight scene or out and about in the real world, and you can win a massive Marvel Select prize pack! The winner will get six Marvel Select X-Men figures, including some rare chase figures, plus an unpainted pre-production test shot of one of our past X-Men figures! It's our biggest Marvel Select X-Men-themed photo contest ever!

Rules:

- Take a photo in which the Marvel Select Colossus figure is the central character. You can include other figures or just Colossus, but all of the toys in the photo should be from Diamond Select Toys. No toys from other toy companies will be allowed. Photos with obvious non-DST content will be deleted.

• Paul T., Living Dead Doll

The fine folks at Mezco Toyz sent us a pile of keychains (the ones they handed out to booth visitors at Toy Fair!) to use in a contest! We had a poll on our front page, and you voted to make each item its own prize, to be awarded to a separate winner. After seeing that and realizing that we would have to pick six winners and mail out six prizes, we figured that a few more wouldn't be too terribly much more work, so we looked around for our box from Mezco's Mystery Box Sale from last fall, and found a few more items to include as prizes.

Here are the prizes, each item to be awarded to a different winner:
