Does the picture have to be of the actual present, or a picture of you using it? Because a holiday wouldn't be a bad present, but I think a MOC of tickets wouldn't be very interesting.

I love this raffle. Thanks again for doing it CopMike! And to TLG of course.\

So it looks like no maximum size limits on the MOC? Just a minimum of 2 pieces.

I'll have to get to thinking about what I want for Christmas (outside of LEGO of course!)

I missed out last year, so I definitely need to get something done for this year. Thanks for hosting it again! Definitely starting the planning as soon as possible. :thumbup:

For Christmas, I want Lego Sets, obviously! So does my daughter, and my wife...well, not so much, but I found something for her too.

So for me, my dream present would be Benny's Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP! from The Lego Movie. My daughter is a Friends nut, so she'd like Olivia's House before it goes from the market. My wife isn't really big on Lego, but she loves Lord of the Rings, so The Tower of Orthanc would probably be right up her alley.

(I hope that when you say "the MOC needs to be new," that my entry counts. It's not like I took an existing set and added a new decoration to it--I just made really tiny models of existing sets!)

Those mini versions of sets look pretty cool. :)

Raffle entry by rodiziorobs, on Flickr

My wife surprised me a few weeks ago with money to pick up Santa's workshop, as well as a little extra (Metalbeard's Duel, another set she knows I have had my eye on since its release) to get the Toy Workshop as well. Best early Christmas present ever!

Thanks CopMike for hosting this again this year!

Thank you CopMike for organizing the raffle again!

My ideal christmas present is almost ready... well the design is anyway. Now it's time to wait for the last few missing parts to arrive (hopefully on time).

Good luck building everyone!

800x600? I can't take pictures that small!

Well, you better start looking for "resizing photos" @ Google.

Using small pictures saves bandwith and with that time and money for all of us.

Aside that, it's simply enough pixels for this raffle.

Thx.

On the way home I realised what I want for Christmas is ice cream. Hopefully Ben & Jerry's, but that wasnt very fun to convey in LEGO.

Your wife gave you money for LEGO?...I don't think I've ever even daydreamed about that? Do you live in some kind of wonderful LEGO heaven? Edited by LuxorV

A good DSLR would be nice. Not only for brickfilming, but for photography and live-action filmmaking.

Of course, that would require several different lenses and adapters and things, but hey, might as well dream big while I'm dreaming. :wink:
