And now....the final 10:

First off, I just want to thank everyone for submitting such amazing entries. I enjoyed reading every single one. I picked the final 10 based on the following criteria:
-Originality
-Creativity
-Making their idea read/look like a real catalog listing that Bandai would put out

If you were not picked, it doesn't mean your ideas were bad. It just means I didn't resonate with them as strongly as the 10 people below. I encourage EVERYONE to continue to develop their ideas, as we may be doing this again next year. The numbers here are not indicative of any ranking; they are being listed in the order recieved!
