Anyone been playing the Claw?

Supposedly, they will send you the prize if you are able to get a ball. The only problem is that there is usually around an 8 hour wait to get your turn.

I haven't checked out the website - but an Ohio tattoo artist illustrated for their website. He did my last tattoo for me. Art by Tom Davis. Very cool!

Good luck getting on to win something cool!!

Oh, interesting. It seems like a very cool company. I actually got a ball out of it this morning, so I'll have to let you know what I get.

How could I NOT click on something that said "the Santa Claw?" The opening video is really funny! I didn't dare sign in. All I need is one more digital addiction.

Did anyone else play The Santa Claw when ArchimedesScrew posted the link back in January? We'll, we did! After an 8 hour wait we all gathered round the computer. They were shouting instructions and pointing the best direction to go and yes, you guessed it, we got one! Well our 'prize' came in today's mail and we are now the proud owners of a Yellow Non-Toxic Knobby Ball! It actually looks a lot like the one we pulled out of the machine.......

It was a lot of fun but we're known to be easily amused.

I won too -- it pulled three balls up at the same time. I don't have any idea whether I get one prize or all three (they do say one win per household, but when you pick up three balls at once, what does that mean?).

Anyway, they don't deliver to New Zealand, so I told them to send the prize to my sister in Massachusetts. I have no idea what she got.

I tried, but after about 3 hours, my connection to the website crapped out. I didn't feel like starting another 8 hour wait, so I gave up.

Sooooo....

What did you get?

Ok, so after I replied to this thread earlier, I decided to see how long the wait was. It was only 3 hours, so I got in line. This time, my connection held and I actually got to play. And I got a pink ball - woo hoo!!

I'll let you know what I get when I get it. :)

I got my Santa Claw prize today. It was a pink knobby ball. Unfortunately, I have no way to inflate it, so it pretty much just a useless piece of pink bumpy vinyl. :)

TG

What will it take to inflate it?

What will it take to inflate it?

A pump with a needle.

Use it as a stamp.... or a naked mail postal.

Great, now The Wonder Ball song is stuck in my head.

It was a pink knobby ball.

So far, that is the only prize people have reported. Has anyone gotten something OTHER than a knobby ball?

Has anyone gotten something OTHER than a knobby ball?

Most people seemed to have received a knobby ball (or 5!) of various sizes, but there were a few other items reported on The Santa Claw's Facebook page: a tin of pickle-flavored mints, a set of Pepsi lip glosses, a rubber band shooter, a stuffed T-Rex.

a tin of pickle-flavored mints

Wow.

Mail it to me, I'll inflate it and mail it back.

Sorry to disappoint you, shiloh, but I now have a fully inflated knobby ball. And I didn't even have to have help from anyone. :D

TG

Are you sending it out now???

;-)

Sorry to disappoint you, shiloh,

That's ok. I was going to suggest you just get a pump but I figured you'd just argue with me about that. :)
