Many props and Happy Halloween to the code patrol. What started off kind of slow this year added up to a decent sized haul after all.

It's time for my breakdown of the RP codes that Sideshow gave out during Spooktacular 2019! It turned out to be a great year- they gave out a greater number of codes worth more money than I and probably many of us were expecting!
In total, SS gave out 39 codes this year, broken down like this:
-4 codes on Thursday the 24th
-6 codes on Friday the 25th
-5 codes on Saturday the 26th
-4 codes on Sunday the 27th
-5 codes on Monday the 28th (Sunday's W588NTYH code was offered again on Monday but is not included in Monday's total)
-5 codes on Tuesday the 29th
-5 codes on Wednesday the 30th
-5 codes on Thursday the 31st
The 39 codes given out were worth a total of $75, broken down like this:
-18 codes worth $1
-14 codes worth $2
-3 codes worth $3
-4 codes worth $5
Compared to the 29 codes worth $49 total that SS gave out during Spook 2018, SS was very generous this year!
Here's a breakdown of how long the 39 codes were live for this year:
-17 codes were live for 20 minutes (the repeated W588NTYH code was available for 20 minutes both times but is only included here once)
-21 codes were live for 10 minutes
-1 code was live for 15 minutes (the glitched YESTEST12987)
All of the $2, $3, and $5 codes were live for 10 minutes, and all of the $1 codes were live for 20 minutes (except for the glitched YESTEST12987 code, which was live for 15 minutes). SS's single LinkedIn code was actually live for 10 minutes, but it seemed like it was only live for 2 or 3 minutes because no one noticed and shared it until 7 or 8 minutes after it was posted!
SS posted codes all over the frickin' place this year, making it much more difficult to get them all compared to years past. Here's a breakdown of where they were posted. Please keep in mind that these numbers aren't exact, as some codes were posted in multiple places simultaneously (e.g., they posted a YouTube video containing a code but also posted it in one of their Facebook groups), but they're close:
-9 codes posted in their Let Your Geek Side Show Facebook group
-2 codes posted in their Rise, Conquer, RULE Facebook group
-1 code posted in their Designer Toy Collective Facebook group
-1 code posted in their Let Your Statue Side Show Facebook group
-5 codes posted in the chat of their live Facebook videos
-6 codes posted in YouTube videos
-6 codes posted in Facebook videos
-3 codes posted on Instagram
-3 codes posted on Facebook
-2 codes posted on Twitter
-1 code posted on LinkedIn
As for SS's "sleep is for the weak" tagline they've used during Spook the past several years, they gave out eight codes worth a total of $16 when many people in SS's Pacific timezone were asleep (I used the times of 10 PM to 6 AM Pacific to get these numbers, which seems like a reasonable time frame to me). They gave out one code each night of Spook during this time frame except for Wednesday night/Thursday morning when they gave out two.
What's next? SS has already announced Geeksgiving 2019 as the next event where they will be giving out RP codes. The event runs from midnight Pacific on Thursday, November 21 through noon Pacific on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 28). Like last year, all of the giveaways, contests, and RP codes will be listed exclusively in SS's Let Your Geek Side Show Facebook group, so the RP codes should be much easier to get than the many, many places they gave away codes during Spook 2019!
During Geeksgiving 2018, SS gave away 14 codes worth a total of $25, so hopefully they top that during Geeksgiving 2019, similar to how they topped Spook 2018's RP total during Spook 2019!
I hope some of you enjoyed this recap! Thanks to everyone here for sharing the codes during Spook 2019! See you all in less than three weeks for Geeksgiving!
It went to waitlist status pretty quick. Was at low stock when I got the email to get it. Also didn't know the pin was gonna hit me across the head for 7 bones. Did some quick checking around and just let it be. Rather throw that money elsewhere.
