So he ended up getting to ride in the actual movie cars. Thats awesome! Also props for the kid giving up his prize pack to charity. He's a bigger man than me cause i prorobaly wouldn't have been that generous!

Anyhow congrats to him and his family. many of us are 3 to 4 times his age and would kill to have the same experiance. Its good to know his family was very humble about the situation. Kudos to them!

Ok I'll be the asshole who says it. If Hasbro gave me $1000 worth of Dark Of The Moon toys I'd donate it too.

That's pretty awesome. Hasbro gave Elijah something really memorable with the trip and its amazing to see that he thought of other children in need by donating the toys. A well deserving winner. :APPLAUSE:

I'm happy a kid won this.

It was also kind hearted of the kid to donate these toys to kids who need them.

Think you had to be a kid to win anyway. What an awesome day that kid had. Congrats. And in good autobot fashion he donated his prize. Now many kids will have fun thanks to him. Bravo!

thnks for posting Duque. How many times have you seen/entered contests but never get to see or hear of the winner? A ton, so it's nice to see the winning contestant.
