One thing to be very careful of, and something that many overlook, is greasy or oily fingers. Many food oils will weaken the plastic and cause cracks at any mold seams and stress points, which minifigs have a lot of. I found this out the hard way from MOCing while eating potato chips, and lost around thirty cheese slopes because they all cracked due to my oily fingers, and it happened in a matter of a week or two. If your child is eating before or while they're playing with the minifigs, it's very likely that it's part of the problem. Lego may send some replacements, but if you don't make sure your childs hands are squeaky clean before handling them, then it will most likely happen again and I'd imagine they wont just keep replacing them. I hope this helps. Cheers

Cool theme, interesting and challenging guidelines, sweet prizes, no questions,...see ya at the finish line.

Hmmm,..Pretty colors.

And we have a winner!

I don't care if LEGO ever develops anything new or creative ever again, as long as they bring back LEGO Universe. HA!

So many great little details. Best Cat B for sure.

Thanks for the feed back, and I completely understand what your saying about the tower being a bit big. When I build minifig scale, I'm a real stickler for making sure that minifigs can actually fit inside, so I made sure there is room for at least two figs, plus there is a working hatch down into the hold. I thought alot about going two studs less in width but I ended up liking the way the windows divided up. I think it looks a bit more bombastic this way.Cheers.

Wow, so creative. Crutch is my favorite, but McClawson in the kilt,..cool.

Ialso agree, but this is still a great Cat B entry, especially because its a real team build. Nice work.

Oh boy, I just made it in under the wire at 11:15 Pacific. I hope this contest gets a good turn out. cause I really put some hours into it. Good luck to all the contestants and Thanks to you Bob de Q, for staging a very cool comp. Cheers CND
