I notice I have a christmas tree unlocked for my cockpit from my 12 wins, but the snow globe is showing as costing me 750 MC. The challenge prize says snow globe. Heck - there's even a picture of it. That's what I played for. That's what I want.

I want a Snow Globe too!

Looks like some miscommunication within the PROMO Team... So what's up PGI?

So I'm getting my snow globe and a christmas tree? Snow globe was the only reason I bothered with this challenge.

PS Know it's free, but should deliver what it says it'll deliver.

Now I suppose the christmas tree unlock might have been an additional gift, to make up for the snafu where none of the wins were showing for a few days, and we'll be getting our snow globes at the end of the event, as well. If this turns out to be the case, I will publicly apologize for any insinuation I've made about a bait and switch, however inadvertent.

Text says SNOW GLOBE, additional text beside the PICTURE of a SNOW GLOBE says christmas tree.

Look at the post and the words of the announcement.

THIS ^^^
Its not the end of the challenge yet people calm down, when the challenge ends and if the snow globe hasn't been rewarded then you can take out you your pitchforks and torches again.

Yes it would help if people READ the Challenges page , but also that PGI need to be bit more clear as to where this information is:
https://mwomercs.com...type=challenges
P.S. PGI it's a LINK and it might have saved you ANOTHER kick.

Also come on people what is a snow globe?
A snow globe (also called a" waterglobe", "snowstorm",[1] or "snowdome") is a transparent sphere, usually made of glass, enclosing a miniaturized scene of some sort, often together with a model of a landscape. The sphere also encloses the water in the globe; the water serves as the medium through which the "snow" falls. To activate the snow, the globe is shaken to churn up the white particles. The globe is then placed back in its position and the flakes fall down slowly through the water. Snow globes sometimes have a built-in music box that plays a song. Some snow globes even have a design around the outerbase for decoration.

SO likely we will get a Christmas Tree IN a snow globe.

Would not think that PGI would give more then one thing away.

It says Christmas Tree, not snow globe. The christmas tree you get is pictured inside that snow globe. Nowhere does it say you get anything else. It doesn't show a different item - just the exact item you get... inside of a snow globe.

If there was a contest for a free car, and the car's picture was taken at the dealership, would you expect to get the entire dealership because the car is in it?

I actually enjoy the Christmas tree but I do find your tears delicious because you don't read what it says.
