I believe we are going by the 'if it's still the 5th anywhere in the world, you can still enter' rule.

Great news Avalonians! I will be entering Challenge IV, or at least a Free build if I don't make it in time. This will be my first MOC here on GOH. Very excited!

Farming is an important aspect of Avalonia's daily life. Build a farming scene to achieve this title.

My challenge 4 kind of suits this, if it is NA then I will build another, but I do want to try out some other things now (my next build will be magical and mystic-isle like)

I think this challenge will have the least entries  :sceptic: Avalonia looks like it will have the most entries by far (7?), then Mitgardia (4 I'm pretty sure), Kaliphlin (2 maybe more), and Nocturnus (2 most likely). Which would be a total of only 16 entries, there were 20 for the commerce challenge plus 2 that didn't make the deadline  :wacko:

I think the reason for this is because you asked for something too special. I know the goal is to make people improve their building skill, but building 1-2 nice buildings, an elemental and a microscale background is really a huge task.

Me personally didn't enter the contest because as you might already know I don't tear down my MOC's since they are going to be shown in the Woodward diorama. I would have loved to build something like a watchtower or an embassy. You know something I can integrate in my project later. But I really didn't want to invest into bricks for an elemental I won't use later. I really hope the next challenge will be less special.

For every challenge so far, there have been a large number of last minute entries. I think we will see quite a few more yet.

It does makes sense that the further out we go, the less entries we will have for each challenge.

I for one, will not have time to post my entry until tomorrow.

I won't be entering as I don't have enough of the appropriate pieces. I won't be posting any MOC's for a while actually as I am rearranging my Lego room so I won't be able to bricklink anything until I've finished.

I was counting everyone who had said they would make entries, not just the finished ones. Since then though Kaliphlin has had 3(I think?) more entries/people saying they are entering, and you for Avalonia. I think on average the builds are the best quality yet though  :classic:

In addition, I think it is the season also. I feel like  people have less time in the summer - partially the good weather and probably out-of-school type vacations. One of the reasons networks used to always show repeats in the summer was because it was the lowest time for ratings... anyway, for some reason I find I have less time for anything - leisure or work, I am a professor and my load actually went way up this summer! Which is totally abnormal for my profession.

Less time? I've not only had the time to build all sets that I have purchased this Summer, but I also have had time to sort my entire collection by part, and doing other un-Lego related activities.

I also have been working on my challenge IV MOC for the past three days. It's not done yet, but it is really looking good. Hoping My nearest Lego store has green plates (any will do) and that I get the entry in on time. Cross your fingers.

Hey guys.

I haven't been active building for Avalonia recently, and I feel like I owe you an explanation. One of the whole reasons for joining GoH was to improve my castle building, and I am trying to do so without the parts selection to handle it. I'm working on a building right now, that I believe will be the best MOC I have ever created when it is done. However, I don't have the Dark Brown tiles or plates I need to finish it.

Now, because I am going to Japan next year for a school trip, I am not spending any money on Lego. However, I've been working on finding someone on Flickr that would be willing to trade me the parts I need. I believe I have found someone, and so hopefully, I will have them soon, and will be able to continue building. In the mean time, I'll just have to continue planning new things, and looking at all of your awesome work, for things I could try when I am able to land my hands on the pieces.

Thanks everyone!
