Capcom handing out mysterious Mega Man items before VGAs

by JC Fletcher on Dec 11th 2009 1:45PM

If you're in Los Angeles tomorrow and have an interest in either Mega Man collectibles or eBay profits, be sure to get to 1013 W. Olympic Blvd. in LA tomorrow between 2pm and 5pm -- actually, we're guessing you're going to need to get there early. And bring a printout of this coupon with you.

Capcom and i am 8 Bit plan to hand out some kind of extremely limited Mega Man swag in enticing E-Tank boxes. It's likely related to the newly announced Mega Man 10, and with the Mega Man 10 "box art" done by i am 8 Bit's Gerald de Jesus, it's possible that the item will bear that image. If you get one, be sure to let us know what's in the box! We have to know what is in the box.

I was able to sell the free Mega Man 9 poster from the i am 8 Bit gallery on eBay for $80 :)

At least give me some replies before you downvote me, you jealous asshats.

lol...asshat...

I support you. I just don't have the balls [of cash] to spend $80 on a poster

Son of a Bitch! Looks like I'm going to miss out on this. Damn you Quentin Tarantino!

Best to not ask I guess.

Oh I thought I responded to this. Anyways, here's basically what I previously wrote.

My sister does award shows, she was going to do the VGA's and give me tix. She ends up getting an internship at "A Band Apart" and is no longer doing award shows. She is, however, planning the guest list for the DVD/BR launch of "Inglourious Basterds" and I'm going to a bachelor party. Maybe free copy of the movie on br. That'd make up for missing this and I'd undamn Quentin Tarantino.

Maybe inside the box is another box. And in that box, a code to a virtual box.

It never ends.

*sigh* Just once I'd like to see one of these where you don't have to live in New York or California to participate :(

Yeah it a shame besides LA and NY most of the USA is useless. Well Chicago, but everything else is just empty space. Its true, everything between LA and NY might as well be lower Canada.

oooooooooh man, time to get a plane ticket!!!!!!!!

Hope your leaving, like, Right now then =)

Wow, that's a toughie. I'm like 30 miles from there, but I think that driving to Downtown L.A. on a Saturday afternoon and then coming back would end up taking like 4 hours out of the day. It's probably an action figure or something I'm guessing. What to do, what to do...

Huh. Interesting. Perhaps customizable weaponry that you can use to build your own evil robot man and try to conquer the world.

LET'S SEE WHAT'S IN THE BOX!

NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

STUPID!!! YOU'RE SO STUPID!!!

(Should've stuck with the red snapper...)

Are you ready Weaaver!!!???

Maybe it's a button, and if you push it, someone dies, and you get a million dollars. I've heard this before.

I expect a poster/promotional item for Mega Man 10 including the E-Tank energy drink.

Whatever is in that box, it's the only thing I ever wanted.

There's a blue dick in that box.

oh you!

Well basically was gonna get tix from my sis, BUT now she has an internship at 'A Band Apart' which means no tix (free inglorius basterds bluray?) AND now I'm going to a bachelor party.

Stupid gimmick sequel to stupid gimmick sequel designed for spergers

Gwyneth Paltrow's head is in the box.

all i want is megaman legends reboot. the 8-bit thing was cute, but seriously - move on.

Leave my Mega Man 9 and 10 alone. Mega Man Legends is the one that's "cute." The 8-bit ones are hardcore

WOOHOO!!!

I live in Chicago but a friend of mine just moved to LA. A quick text message and..
She's gettin me one, and she'll be back in time for Xmas.
Win.

What's in the box?

What's in the box?!!!

WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?!!?!?!!?!

A) The Box will have a button in it, but only be given to young couples struggling in the face of the economic crisis. If they press the button, they will get a million dollars from Capcom, but an indie developer they've never heard of will die. The Box may be empty, but any sufficiently advanced technology can seem like magic.

B) It's FULL OF ****!!!!!

Pick whichever obscure reference you get.

Funny...Im high, that was funny

I don't care what it is, I want it. I also wish I had the game box for 9. I friggin love old school Mega Man. MM9 was totally my GotY. I might get him tattooed on me. Blocky pixels and all.

I AM GOING!!! I LIVE IN L.A. :) I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN THE BOX!!! :D

I live just two miles west away from there.

And just said that to annoy you people.

"A boat is a boat, but the mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat! You know how much we've wanted one of those."

Inside the box was a Mega-Man 10 box art T-shirt. Its Awesome!

Box Contains a S-XXL Tshirt with Mega Man 10 Box art and an E-Tank Energy Drink.

THE MEGA TRUCK http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/7379/megatruck.jpg

Oh god that's sexy. I wish I'd made my LA friend go get this for me. Oh well.

It was a good ol' treat, considering the downpour we had here in L.A. during that time. The address given was an empty business store, with a huge parking lot. There were about 160 ppl that showed up by 2:15pm (the arrival of the "Mega Truck"). Inside the truck, they had employees passing out the promotional MegaMan E-Tank energy drinks, as well as a mystery box inside with....

...an excellent quality, pre-shrunk Mega Man 10 shirt! I was told they didn't have XXL but I did obtain an XL.

Oh yeah, the Mega Man truck was blasting 8-bit Mega Man music the whole time it pulled over.........and the truck was a rented ice cream truck with the Mega Man stickers pasted all over the ice cream ads. They ran out of boxes by an hour.

Well-organized and well-stocked by Iam8bit.com if you ask me!
