Thanks for hosting, davidh777! Also thanks to GoldenWheels and Hamiltonbooks for supporting our challenges here with prizes!
I ended up with 56 watches which I'm okay with. Less than last years, but that's alright. Ready to focus on the holiday challenge now, though!

Is there a deadline for having our lists finished?
I have a few that I still need to enter. I should have them done by tomorrow.

And if you haven't tabulated the prize votes yet, here are mine:
1. Johnny Carson Late-Night Legend DVD
2. Love Actually BD
3. Holy Flying Circus BD
4. Classic TV Comedy Ultimate Collector's Edition DVD
5. Blazing Saddles BD
If you have done this, no biggie. It's my own fault for slacking on my thread reading.
Anything that was suggested is pretty awesome anyway in my opinion.

And now... the prize winners!
Those eligible for prizes were anyone who had a list with items on it, plus bonus entries went to those who nominated prizes and/or voted for prizes--46 entries in all!
The winners are...
Congrats to the winners! I've sent PMs to them asking for prize preferences--if two (or more) people want the same item, it will be first-come, first-served. Remember you need to have a U.S. address to be eligible for a prize.
In case someone doesn't respond by Sunday 12/18, or is ineligible or declines a prize, I still have the randomized list and will offer a prize to the next person up.
Thanks to everyone for participating in this year's challenge!
Not really any deadline other than having items on the list before I ran the prize count. Only one list was empty.

Thanks to the winners for getting back to me so quickly! The prizes are as follows:
HyperWeather: Pack 2
LJG765: Pack 3
shadokitty: Pack 1
GoldenWheelz has already pulled the prizes from his inventory, and will send them... er, as soon as I send him the names and addresses of the winners.
Apologies if anyone feels the PM system isn't fair. In retrospect, I wouldn't have sent them at midnight Pacific time, but I'd drawn it out long enough already, and people could always have work conflicts etc. as well. Still, I'll try not to do that if there's a next time, and as it turns out, the preferences did follow the randomizer order anyway.

I'm looking forward to watching the Harold Lloyd set. I had a hard time choosing and even my third choice was something I was looking forward to. I first discovered Harold this past September when I caught Speedy, on TCM, for the Criterion Collection Challenge, and loved his work. A big thanks to Goldenwheels and Hamilton Books.

I recently purchased a few of the "Vault" single disc releases out of curiosity. While watching them I was surprised at just how much I miss him and his show. Even though I was never a "regular" viewer I'd usually see one or two per week. Frequently tuning in just to see who was going to be on and watch the monologue before changing channels to watch Perry Mason or another late night rerun. Late night TV just isn't the same, or as good, since he left the air.
That prize set looks to have this: The Johnny Carson Show (Hamilton link) but no "Tonight Show" episodes.
It's ten episodes of The Johnny Carson Show, a early variety show he hosted, from its lone season in 1955-56. I purchased a *used* copy for more than the Hamilton price of that stand-alone release (and probably when they had it at this price - I just forgot to check there first!!!) and enjoyed it very much.

^ I see Grandma's Boy is on the set, and iirc, I think that might be eligible for the Academy Award Challenge, whenever it is.

Folks I am super sorry, David sent me the addresses almost a week ago but I just hadn't been checking in at DVDTalk. I just saw them today and ran down and shipped all the packages myself....I grabbed some vendor samples that were comedy and added two to each pack, my apologies for the delay AND that the add-ons are so-so at best (well, somebody got UHF on DVD, and that movie is awesome. The rest...eh).
Happy holidays!!!!

Thanks, GoldenWheels, and not a problem on the timing! (Well, that's easy for me to say since I'm not getting them. )
Thanks for sponsoring the challenge, and for tossing in some extra holiday goodies!
