 		or spruce it up a bit more than that.

I seriously doubt this will be any truly significant swag, as the list of games was out almost immediately, and all someone has to do is enter the names from the list. Also, it's open to EVERYONE who can get to the website, so that rather dilutes the pool.

 		true.
Maybe this could also just be one that they close pretty fast.

Even on facebook no one has said they got theirs yet.

 		you know what would make me really happy and isn't unimaginable, a full set of the tokens, they have handed out a relitavly small ammount of them, and if you have ever done custom tokens before, it's not really cost effective till you are ordering large quanities, the dies are like 500+ each and i have seen 6 unique sides that i can think of off the top of my head, and as you order more like anything the cost goes down.....

 		That's a great idea Agent X, a set tokens seems rather plausible option. Especially when you consider that it was a puzzle on the ARG's Arcade Aid site.

Can't wait to see what the swag will be in any case --it has all been pretty neat so far.

 		Or maybe, based on the poster released yesterday (supposedly it's 1 of 3 that go together, if I'm reading Empire right), we could be getting a series of Tron posters...

...but the tokens thing totally makes sense. I'll be slightly disappointed, however, as I got some tokens via ebay.

That was my first thought when this game came out. Wouldn't be too surprised if it's just the Flynn's Arcade/Home of Tron token either.

Like most on here, I don't really care what they send out. It was a very entertaining diversion and great to see the game still running.

 		Whatever it is, it will provide a link to the next stage of the game. Like the Bits, with the "/zerohour" link handwritten on the inside of the box.

 		So where are we now with time since completion? It seems like it's taking a while to receive anything. It seems like the postcards got here really fast, but I also do live in Southern California.

Can't wait to hear when the first package arrives.

 		I've got a PO BOX in the Phoenix area, I'd hope that something coming from SoCal will hit as quick as theirs will.

Still nothing though...and it's Wednesday again...

 		nothing.
Yeah, I got my postcards in less than a week after I finished it and I finished it the first night.

Still nothing.

I guess they're waiting to ensure that the majority of 'winners' get their stuff at the same time, similar to the first wave of postcards (which lead to Circuit Cycles), since it will probably point towards the endgame.

As crazy as it sounds, how awesome would it be if they could round up a bunch of old-school vintage late-80s pagers (which you could probably buy dirt-cheap, nowadays), and set them up to alert us when something's next gonna happen? Perhaps direct us to an automated phone line, like they had for Arcade Aid and the End of Line Club... one that would go something like:

"Flynn Lives is nearing the end of our search, and we need your help to spread the word on a global level. Go to flynnlives dot com slash endgame; we will show the world that Kevin Flynn is still with us!"

But I don't get what the purpose of the pagers would be.

They would page us to let us know the movie is a month away. I doubt it.

If I had to guess or hope, it would be a set of unassembled perlers. Pretty simple, just put a certain amount in a baggie and send it off.

The only downside I see to that is if someone assembles or arranges them wrong, then it would just be a matter of collecting the baggies full of perlers.

At this point we have made enough suggestions to where the prize will either blow us away or disappoint us. We are pretty close to the release date so they are running out of time, and who knows about ideas.

It's a type of bead used in crafts.

They look sorta pixel-like (I prefer PixelBlocks - http://www.pixelblocks.com/ - myself, as you can light them up and they don't require ironing, but I think they're more expensive), so it's no wonder they were used.

 		I'll start off by saying that I really don't expect to get much of anything and parroting what others have said about the dev team and Disney being more than generous as far as SWAG is concerned.

That said, the longer we go without hearing anything, the more likely I think that it'll be something epic. I see them waiting and then disabling the page or announcing an end to the qualification period for whatever it is to keep folks from jumping in, after it's known what's being sent out.
