The Green Brick Giant Posted December 3, 2009 Damn I didn't win. I just had a crazy talk about how 3 is my favorite number and today's date in Europe is December 3, maybe tomorrow because it will still be December 3rd here when they are announced! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBob Studpants Posted December 3, 2009 Yes, I've won something! Congrats to the other winners as well And thanks to the staff for organizing the raffle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy0002 Posted December 3, 2009 what? madaboutlego won? but i know he already has an advent calendar! he makes stopmotion videos about how to build the pirates and city advent calendar items everyday! unfairness.... although your moc was good and im happy for you and what not, seems...i dunno, messed up i guess. im an american and i cant even buy the pirates one... if i win a raffle i hope one of the prizes (one i get) will be the pirates one, but for all i know, that might not even be a prize.

The Rancor Posted December 3, 2009 It IS a raffle though andy, so the winners are completely random, and can do as they wish with their prizes (they don't always want them) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jealousy, doubt and begrudge in one post - wow .There are prizes, cool & lots of them. I´m moving from my apartment to a new one and at the same time working a lot which include travelling abroad. Because of that and me being a perfectionist, I´ll keep the prizes a secret until I can take nice pictures of them and post them. But do not distrust this years EB Santa, you´ll will be happy !

Be careful.... it wouldn't surprise me if Santa had a list of whiners to cross off the advent list (For the record, he doesn't... but you could definitely be more gracious.)

Derek Posted December 4, 2009 I think that even though we may not win, it's important that we show our appreciation to the organizers of this. They really have no obligation to do this, it's solely out of generosity... It's free, so its not like you're losing anything if you don't win...and who would have money to buy 72 advent calendars for a silly message board giveaway? And by the time you receive it, its likely to be close to or after Xmas, so what point would they serve? Congrats to all the winners so far and thank you so much to everyone involved for dedicating your time and money to this! -darthperson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siegfried Posted December 4, 2009 (For the record, he doesn't... but you could definitely be more gracious.) Ahh, but I programmed the list and in CopMikes absence I have discretionary powers... Congrats to the winners so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted December 4, 2009 Ahh, but I programmed the list and in CopMikes absence I have discretionary powers... Your powers are indeed great and many. I was trying to reassure any worried younglings that Santa didn't have a hit-list... so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tereglith Posted December 4, 2009 It's very nice for me that you all are in a different time zone: I can check up on tomorrow's winners at 7pm!

Lordofdragonss Posted December 4, 2009 I wonder who will be on 24? Cangratulation s for everyone anyway! Great MOCs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siegfried Posted December 4, 2009 Thanks for organizing the raffle, CopMike (and you too, Siegfried, since you are obviously the puppet master) Actually I'm more like a possessed puppet; I can move a bit, but ultimately CopMike is pulling the strings.

Matt Dawson Posted December 4, 2009 For every day since the 1st, I have been looking at the calender, clicking the link, and no entry matches the page. Could these be errors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siegfried Posted December 4, 2009 For every day since the 1st, I have been looking at the calender, clicking the link, and no entry matches the page. Could these be errors? What link, what entry, and what do you expect? In case it helps, the daily calender link is supposed to go to the MOC of the winner... and it was working at the time. However with Brickshelf being unreliable the page scripts never finish resulting in the entry not being shown. I'll look into it tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dennimator Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) My mom, Roadwalker, won, and I didn´t? *Prepares my "To Do" list: 1) Be extra nice to her. 2) Show her that she won. 3) (if I won´t win later on) ask her if she would care to give that "stupid lego package" to her "wonderful, caring son".* OR: *1) Don´t tell her that she won. 2) Take the prize myself.* Nah, seriously though, I will go with the first option. At least until I find out if I won something or not... Edited December 4, 2009 by Dennimator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted December 4, 2009 I noticed one of the winners for day 4 doesn't even have an entry pic anymore? And it's flickr so it's not like BS ditched it. Now that the entry period is over do we not need to keep the pics up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted December 4, 2009 My mom, Roadwalker, won, and I didn´t? *1) Don´t tell her that she won. 2) Take the prize myself.* Well, anyway: you still have to get your mom to PM her address to CopMike... ¿puǝɹʇ ʍǝu ɐ buıɯoɔǝq sıɥʇ sı 'uʍop ǝpısdn pɐǝɹ uɐɔ noʎ uǝɥʍ ʇob ǝq oʇ uoıʇɐɯɹoɟuı buıʇsǝɹǝʇuı Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, I know what it's trying to do, (point you to the inning post in the thread), but most of the time it brings you to the right page but to a random post.

The Rancor Posted December 4, 2009 Hi all! The raffle is up & running thanks to Siegfried´s computerskills and Svelte & 3D Brickthing pic/enhancements ! 15 winners so far and still no info on the prices ? Well I´m moving from one town to another while working a lot. That, and me being a perfectionist , has so far prevented me from presenting the prizes the way I would like them to be seen - in their Great Glory ! But rest assure - I will prevail and you´ll faint when you see all the s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YG-49 Posted December 4, 2009 Secret *snip* that I'll faint to see? I can't wait to faint You ruined the surprise!!! It was supposed to be a secret! Hence the coloured and upside down text! GAH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetroiD Posted December 5, 2009 Sometimes, guys, I'm wondering if you are indeed adults or 8-year olds (Rancor, we all figured out what CopMike was talking about, but it was still supposed to be a surprise). Oh well, with the surprise ruined anyway, at least I hope we don't see a thread "What *snip* would you like to see in next year's Xmas Raffle" started...
