2nd Annual Cross Continent Cobra Capture Classic!
« on: February 16, 2011, 07:28:35 PM »




It's a new year and a new capture season is upon us.  The rules are the same as last year.  This is basically a geocache hunt without the geo. I will try to give fairly good clues on the whereabouts but I wont have latitude longitude available. The figures that I stash will be in plastic bags and loose, as carded figures will be harder to stash and would get banged up anyway. When you find a figure there will be a code with him. You must post the picture of the figure with the code up to prove that you have captured him. He's yours to keep. Each person who finds a figure and posts a picture of the capture will be put into a drawing. This year's drawing is for a USS Flagg.  At the moment, the flagg I'll be giving away is missing a couple of pieces but i should be able to get it completed at Joe Con.  The drawing for the Flagg will be the same as last year at Canada Joe Con in June.

I'm starting the contest off tomorrow night so stay tuned for updates.  I'll try to hit areas I didn't get to last year.  The pacific northwest (including vancouver region)  and the southeast will be getting some hits this year.  Last year I tried the idea of giving out figures for other people to hide but that kinda flopped with only 1 of the 10 I gave out got hidden, so I'm going to stick to me hiding them alone.

He hides figures across the US and Canada and it is our job to find them with the clues provided.

That sounds pretty cool!  That must take a HUGE amount of work and effort...

I still have the occasional dream where I happen upon random or imaginary GI Joe figures out somewhere.
This is only going to encourage those sorts of dreams!

However if you dream of electric Unicorns, contact your local clinic immediately.
