Soon. I'm currently uploading the photos on flickr. If you browse my account you can see some of them.

But the photos from the avatar contest need some digital post-processing... :sceptic:

I will deeplink the best-of here when I'm finished, maybe someone else can take over with the stories in the meantime. :wink:

Holodoc, can you remember how many bricks there were in that big plastic bottle? I'm curious :)

1108 and Dfenz guessed 1111 (or the other way around). Dana had 1107 if I am not mistaken.

Yup! We saw two sides of the box...sort of.

Who was the two people who wanted the contact for a brick engraver? I know Peppermint was one of them.

When I remember right it was 1107 bricks... I guessed 1111 so that's the reason Dfenz beat me :wink:

Yup: The total was 1107, Dfenz guessed 1110 and Dana 1111.

The guesses varied from 247 (Mechamike) to 2050 (Ace)

Anything you remember? Any other new sets?

I believe the clock itself is a new print on a 6x6 or 8x8 radar dish. Besides that nothing to write home about: parts list, photos of the real BigBen.

But we were only able to see two sides of the box and not the front nor the back.

I think the clock face is a 8x8 round tile actually, but time will tell I suppose.

Stupid me! :wall:

I wasn't aware of that request. Photos are deleted also on my flickr site.

I'll reupload them when CGH published his ship officially. :blush:

Wonderful pictures Stefan!

I really enjoy looking through all of them. Maybe I will also find some nice ones to post.

In the meantime I also have to say a big thanks to Stefan and Tom for the great event. Also for the rest that made it a truly beautiful time. I hope to see at least 100% of you next year in Germany. :grin:

it was a lovely event with lost of fun activities (even if some of us Norwegians arrived too late for some of them) (but then again we still managed to dominate most of the competitions - right, Pandora?)

Those damn Norwegians! :angry:

:laugh:

Yes, that was kinda lucky :grin:

It was also freaking awesome! *oh2*

I found a spare 1x8 tile with the Eurobricks logo. Who is missing it?

We are! Our group of four has three sets, one of which is missing that tile. So we're also missing another set. And we also didn't get the 1x8 Event bricks, somehow. :wacko:

A big thank you to Holodoc for all his incredible hard work in running the Event, and also to Bonaparte and CopMike for their fantastic involvement too, especially setting things up with the team at TLG. I'd also like to add a big thank you to 'Uncle' Jan and 'Uncle' Kim, who were absolutely superb with the kids! :laugh: It's always great to see you guys, and you were wonderful to the little Pandufuses. :wub:

Oh, and Amfenz.... BINGO! :laugh::grin:
