1. Do I have to purchase my entry from Chibi's?

A: Entries do not have to be purchased at Chibi's. While we appreciate the support, we understand that you may have a kit or figurine that is perfect for this competition, and do not want to limit your creativity.

2. I have an unlicensed kit. Can I use this? 

A: Unlicensed kits, figurines, and anything else will not be permitted entry into this competition. We will require a list of materials in the entry form, and any unlicensed or bootleg items will result in an immediate disqualification (this does not apply to generic items such as pipes, etc., or items you design and print yourself). Chibi's firmly believes in licensing and authenticity. When purchasing unlicensed or bootleg items, the money does not go to the creators of the series, or anyone involved in the official production of the series and its merchandise, which ultimately hurts the industry. There are other serious issues involved with bootleg items, which we are happy to discuss at length (we are quite passionate about the topic).

3. I love Love LOVE the holidays!  Can my build be holiday themed?

A. Absolutely!  Winter is a time for celebrating all sorts of different holidays.  What and how we celebrate varies from person to person, and for many people these holidays are something exciting and joyous.  If you want to build something that reminds you of your favourite holiday (or holiday tradition), we encourage it!

5. Will my name/personal information be listed if I enter?

A: Absolutely not.  We are very serious about privacy and will never post any personal information without your permission.  The only information we will post on your entry will be the build name, description and provided photos.

6. Do I have to build a Gundam Model?

A: Your entry does not have to be strictly Gundam. If you want to dress up a Zaku, that would be wonderful. If you want to enter a 30 Minute Sister, Zoid, or Megami Device kit, that works too. Whatever you think works best for your idea!

7. Are figurines, dolls, and non-model items okay as well?

A: Absolutely! We know this isn't typical for a "build competition", but we want this to be a fun, creative, winter themed competition. We feel that including entries based around figurines and other items will be a fun addition to this. Some items will be excluded (plushies, etc...), but if it's made of PVC, it's probably okay! If you aren't sure, feel free to ask :)

8. If I win, do I have to pick up my prize in-store?

A: If you win and are located in the Kelowna area, we ask that you pick up your prize in-store.  However, if you live out of area and are unable to make the trip, we can either ship out your prize to you (at no cost to you) or, if you would prefer, we can issue you a credit to our online store for the value of the prize in question.
