Myself, personally, would take one of each item and store them away unopened.

Then I'd then take two castles, two RttFF, one MS, two TT, and all of TV to add to my personal collection.

Being that I have all I need of everything else, what ever is left-over I'd keep available to use as prize materials for tournaments or gamedays.

How about the rest of you?

[netherspirit]

First I would have to find the money to pay the taxes on the prize.

After that, I dunno.

Well... that's a bunch of garbage right there...

Maybe I'd take some of the winnings and auction them off on eBay to make up for the taxes.

Nah, that comes with winning anything. The people that Oprah gave cars to that day in her audience had to pay the taxes on them.

[InfinityMax]

I would sort through the pile, keep a few, and maybe trade some of them for the money to cover taxes and another storage container. I can't believe how much room this game consumes. Then I would probably just give the rest away.

[LilNewbie]

That is a lot of stuff and would be great to win. The taxes on that stuff will be around 300 to 500 dollars (can't remember the exact percent on Gift Tax and could be modified by which state you live in too.)

I would also put one of each item into storage, take some of the items for my collection, use some of the items for customs, use some for trade bait and then give some away to my friends (including some of the peeps here that I know would like to get a nice HS surprise in the mail.)

Agreed. As much as she knows I love the game, my wife is beginning to give me, "What do you mean you want more" looks when I talk about upcoming HS releases...

[MBSowards]

You should turn that around on here and when she wants to go shopping for clothes say, "What do you mean you want more?"

Nah, I'm just kidding. It's fun to say that as a single guy who is 21, but I wouldn't want you sleeping on the couch anytime soon.

[GaryLASQ]

tournament prizes. maybe run some HS tourneys at a local library for the kiddies. i'd like to learn how to run an HS tournament so this would be my big chance

i'm sure the big retailers aren't happy with how much shelf space it consumes either. if the game's popularity does increase exponentially, HAS will have to conceed to just offering the Master Set in stores and sell all expansions in their online ToyShop.
