Despicable Me Minion Swap

This is so fun! I can't wait to represent Cleveland!!!!

sounds fun!

It should be really fun! The minions are super-cute. Thanks for signing up -- I can't wait to see everyone's pics!

He's SO CUTE!! I can't wait to get him!!

Sounds like a lot of fun! But I do have a comment regarding international participation: since packages can take up to even a month to reach my country from the US, if the blow-up Minion is mailed out even on June 22nd there's little chance it will arrive here by June 8th.. I do want to participate but I don't want to be late emailing the photo out.

I did mean July 8th.. :) Oops.

I can't wait for this movie, and this swap sounds so exciting.

The Minions will be sent International Express Mail on June 23rd, so they should arrive in plenty of time (it is 3-5 days).

Ooo, a sponsored swap - looks like fun! :D I wonder if we'll get to see more in Swap-Bot's future?

Super fun!

Yes - we are trying out sponsored swaps... I think they are great as long as there is something in them for the participants. Then it is win, win! :)

yay!! perfect timing we are going to take our minion to anime-expo on the third XD

Is this the first corporate sponsored swap? And we could win something? And it's free? NICE! ^v^

I also wouldn't mind a tad more time between getting the item and having the pics done :)

So glad I got home from work in time to be participant #57 out of 60!

Hi all, I didn't expect such a wonderful turn out, but I love it!!

For now, I have closed the swap for additional sign ups. I will need to check over the participants and find out if we can extend the number of minions that can be sent out... some of the final people to sign up may need to be removed, but stay tuned! Hope is not lost yet! :)

oh nooooo i missed out :o(

Minion, minion come to me!

Oh no... there won't be a minion in Malaysia (missed the sign-up)

AHHHHHH! i didn't get to read that it was only the first 60 people, or else i would've signed up in a heartbeat!!! >:(

so sad i missed out!

Yay! I was #51, so glad I decided to read the blog again, early this morning :)

Aww.. So sad I missed this.. would have been great fun getting one here to Denmark :-)

Oh I missed it! Would have been so much fun!

:( too bad i couldnt enter, i been without internet in days T-T, and today i came to Starbucks T-T and found this anyway have fun you all

Oh, rats, I missed it!!!! :(

oooh i missed it too! i was wondering where the button had gone, what a shame that they are still advertising this on the main page... was such a let down :(

this is my 1st e-swap

I am sorry for any confusion. This swap filled up much faster than we anticipated. Unfortunately, we are going to need to cut the participant list down to 60. I will be checking over the participant list for those that do not meet the requirements. They will be removed first and then I will remove those who signed up last.

I am very sorry for the disappointment. We hope to do sponsored swaps again in the future and I already plan to follow a different procedure for sign ups, with plenty of warning for when it will launch.

i hope i dont get dorped! i was one of the 1st to join. i was looking so forward to this swap. hope being a noob doesnt hurt me.

As long as you have a filled out profile (which you do) being new will not count against you in any way. :)

:D

:( ...awww, its to late to join. Maybe next time. This kind of reminds me of that Flat stanley project I had as a kid.

Too late.. This looked soo neat!!

I decided to take pictures of my minion every cool place that I go this summer and send the pics to my daughter and build her excitement and when she comes home from her trip to grandma's house take her to see the movie, so I hope my partner doesn;t mind a lot of pictures.

Awww, so sad I got dropped, I was really looking forward to this. But I hope someone will make a gallery of these pictures--I would lov to see what peopel come up with!

Hey, that's not fair. Why is the Ad still up around SB asking people to join if the sign up date has already passed? A bit misleading. It would be nice to be able to join up. Perhaps they could remove the Ad or make a second swap.

I am sorry for any confusion and disappointment. We are working to get the ad on the main page adjusted.

ad is still up :o( i would have loved a minion we call my daughter our minion it woud hav been cute to take pics all summer with them together

Oh darn I so wanted to join this swap, anyone know where you can buy a minion doll so that we could get out own and do it?

aww.. I thought the top add was for the movie.. I didnt notice that it was for a swap =o( My birthday is on the day that the movie releases.. I am totally planning on going to see it and it would have been so cool to have one of them with me here in hawaii! I could have taken him to eat shaved ice with a lil' hula skirt on! Anyone wanna donate one to me?

aww I'm too late :(

Darn my lack of internet! I had wanted to sign up for this one so bad!

Got my minion today...Thanks Rachel for all the extra with it...going to work on photographing him..

Where do I sign up?

HI.. Where to sign up? It is closed already?

Four pics of my Minion at the beach have been e-mailed to my partners and to the gmail address. Enjoy the images!

We had so much fun doing this swap! My son helped out by donating costumes and giving support (literally in some photos!) during our Minion tour of Bloomington! :D

You can see some of the awesome photos from this swap over on the Minion Facebook page.

Sadly, the swap has just concluded and we do not have any additional blow ups. I'm sorry. :(
