Legoman123 Posted January 17, 2014 This may sound stupid... but does the first place set get made into Lego? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted January 17, 2014 Congratulations to gazumpty, Galaktek and Cara (I've added some traditional bling bling to your profiles ) and thanks to everyone for entering the competition. We restricted the size of the entries a bit compared to last year to give more people a chance to enter. It has resulted in a record number of entries and we were amazed at the creativity of all the entrants. We're glad to hear that everyone seems to appreciate this little twist on the competition. So, once again: thanks to everyone for making the fourth Expand the Winter Village Contest a big success. This may sound stupid... but does the first place set get made into Lego? No, it doesn't. We simply took TLG's idea for last year's Winter Village set and asked people to expand on it. I'm sure the designers are looking at the entries for inspiration though.

gazumpty Posted January 17, 2014 Hey everyone...first let me just say I'm honestly humbled by the response and all the kind comments received during the entire contest, it's a credit to EB and all it's members that even in a competitive environment, the feedback is always encouraging and affirming! As this was my first proper MOC I never thought I would get close to the top 3, let alone finish 1st... so I'm really appreciative of all those who lent me their support! Congratulations to Galatek and Cara with their fantastic entries, totally deserving of their wins and prizes. Also congratulations to each one of the other 51 entries who have really embraced this contest and given TLG something to consider for future sets. Each one would grace and be a credit to the Winter theme! I would like to thank (starting to feel like an oscars speech here ) everyone that voted, for me and for the other competitors, big thanks and legolove to Rick and Pandora for running the contest and sorting out the prizes. As for my choice, I'm going to choose 10229 Winter Village Cottage, as I missed out on it at the time... and it looks pretty cool! Right enough rambling from me...see you guys later on the forums! As lightningtiger would say..... BRICK ON! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
