TheLegoDr Posted May 16, 2014 I enter every set I get, I have yet to win anything. But I'm sure there are winners out there somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SheepEater Posted May 18, 2014 I always thought this was Lego's way of trolling us AFOLs. Especially since he lasted a good 3 or 4 years on every non-Friends lego set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckBricks Posted May 27, 2014 I noticed this on Benny's Spaceship too. Orange jacketed fig with a red cup - perhaps the same one Tragic Banjo mentions. I agree it's a great move. Even as a kid I hated seeing other kids in Lego catalogues, they always look so self-satisfied. You must have despised Zack the Lego Maniac then... Even watching his commercials makes me feel annoyed at his overbearing smugness... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maniac4Legos Posted May 31, 2014 Are going to list sets without the shouting win kid? 70160 has the green ninja. 60032 has a firefighter. Play well, Maniac4Bricks :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egg roller Posted June 4, 2014 I think the kid is sort of hypnotizing. I mean, I can't look away it's so bad. I always laughed to myself thinking about what that photo shoot was like. What did they have that kid saying for the pics? Stupid kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorayaki Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Okay, obviously many people have had enough with that crazy boy, what about her? She is giving a sweet smile, not a hideous shouting . (All from Silentmode.tvbelow) And as result, the Lady Robot.... uh, no, Emma takes the seat instead? I wonder why TLC wouldn't call Max and Nina back. It would also be interesting to feature more characters in differet advertising. Edited June 4, 2014 by Dorayaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artanis I Posted June 4, 2014 Okay, obviously many people have had enough with that crazy boy, what about her? She is giving a sweet smile, not a hideous shouting . She looks a bit creepy to me. And why is she bent over like a hunchback? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Leg O Brick Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) The girl's better than the Win kid, but theirs something about her, sinister, like she's concealing a machete or knows something I don't know with a very suspicious smile. I know I've already commented, but I've been sorting 1000 plus instruction manuals, and the win kid on the back of the City Chinook is massive. These huge, unblinking eyes...Scared the hell out of me at one in the morning yesterday. Edited June 4, 2014 by Dr Leg O Brick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These huge, unblinking eyes...Scared the hell out of me at one in the morning yesterday. It's her Kubrick stare. I'm going to miss the absurdity of the "Win" kids, but I'm sure a friendly minifigure will better convince kids and families to fill out a survey than a terrifying vessel of unfettered competitive zeal.

Win Kid looked like he would annoy me. Win Girl looks like she has already worked out where to hide the body and how much cleanup will be involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caperberry Posted June 5, 2014 You must have despised Zack the Lego Maniac then... Even watching his commercials makes me feel annoyed at his overbearing smugness... Yes he's horrid. But thankfully after my dark age began. I distinctly recall scribbling violently over the faces of the two girls in a meadow giggling over their Scala jewellery. I hated them every moment more and more. Okay, obviously many people have had enough with that crazy boy, what about her? She is giving a sweet smile, not a hideous shouting .

Wodanis Posted June 6, 2014 Just got Emmet's construction mech today and so happy to see a male mini-figure on the back!! I'll have to take a photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
talos Posted June 6, 2014 I had never seen the win girl, I don't buy the right sets I guess to have come across her. Thanks for sharing the photo...haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8BrickMario Posted June 6, 2014 From SilentMode's Mall review: It seems Emma has gotten a bit full of herself, and challenged Gewinne!th to a duel… and won. Standing victorious over her pummelled corpse, Emma flexes her muscle and claims the trophy, as she proudly takes the title of “WIN”. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naf Posted June 6, 2014 I noticed this on Benny's Spaceship too. Orange jacketed fig with a red cup - perhaps the same one Tragic Banjo mentions. I agree it's a great move. Even as a kid I hated seeing other kids in Lego catalogues, they always look so self-satisfied. In the 80's they used to have a picture of a random kid playing with the set on the inside flaps of the box. Even back then I thought it was strange, why is there some random kid on my Lego box showing me how to play with my toy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wout Posted June 6, 2014 I think the boy is now around 16-ish and happy his picture wont be used for promoting lego anymore. About the girl, It's I think not only the (Kubrick smile), but probably that the photographer said to the girl: "Smile!" She did, and her smile was not a real smile because it is difficult to smile and look like real and we can see that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artanis I Posted June 8, 2014 Every time I see the title of this thread (like just now) I say "thank God"... In the 80's they used to have a picture of a random kid playing with the set on the inside flaps of the box. Even back then I thought it was strange, why is there some random kid on my Lego box showing me how to play with my toy? They may have had slow fashion sense but at least they weren't ever pulling terrible faces that made you cringe.

talos Posted June 8, 2014 I got my Ghostbusters set yesterday, and on the back cover of the book, shouting win kid... I guess they got printed a while ago to still have the kid and not something new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
