Fixed!

A failed Moc, I don´t understand what you mean ? No I don´t, but I might keep a certain succeful part of it, like a SNOT-ed window, in one piece.

There´s a prize pool update in the Xmas Raffle 2013 discussion thread - read all about it here.

Due to an attack from a foreign intelligence service/hacker group, sunstorm or just a close companionship between my brain cells and mr Murphy a whole lot of entries wasn´t put into the name pool from were the winners randomly would be drawn. Thanks to a nice pm sent to me by Dane this was brought to my attention and an Emergency Protocoll was initialized and completed. The result of that is what you see today on the 23rd. Here´s an explanation on how it was set up: As I first thought the number of entries was 165 and we had 144 set of prizes, giving the odds 144/165 or about 87,2%. Now when there was a whole bunch of posts overlooked, actually from page 7-9, or post #165-#226, and that the raffle had progressed so far the options were a bit limited. So I pulled all those entries and applied the random machine and the 87,2% magic. I came up with the number 42 about 7,5 when having 6 prize catagories. That means that to match the odds and handling as if they would have been in the raffle from the beginning, we needed to have 7,5 extra winners per prize. 7,5 isn´t really a good number if you´re using a multiplication factor of 6. So either we go down to 7 or up to 8. If we use 7 the odds to win would become lower compared to the ones that were in the pool from the start. Not a good idea! If we use 8 the odds to win would become higher compared to the ones that were in the pool from the start. A much better solution. Those on page 8-9 have been mentally tortured during a couple of days when they knew they wouldn´t win. This is a small collective band-aid for that, plus they don´t have an option to win the extra Hulk or Cave Troll day 24. So those then 48 "extra" winners today are still a percentage of the total lost post, pulled by using a random generator. And if I and mr Murphy hadn´t done this, 48 of you wouldn´t have won at all, as the total chance to win was upped with around 20% by this mental breakdown. I hope that covers about everything. And yes, tomorrow there will be the last 6 winners, coming out of the original 165 counted entries. And yes yes - now I have to send out 192 set of prizes across the globe! And remember - if you didn´t win this year there could be a new Xmas coming in the future AND this saying still applies: Lucky in love, unlucky in games So have a wonderful love life 2014!

Wow! Very nice build there concuzz !

Try again now.

Welcome to Eurobricks Bipin! I´m sure you´ll have a great time here! And very cool looking Moc´s there !

Always resort to the nuclear arsenal as the last option !

I know, I´ve showed it to him and he waaaaaaants it badly ! Sorry, I don´t really check out auctions or flea markets. But you can post that question also in the swedish community Swebrick!

Here´s a blog about injection molds that gives you quite an insite.

I remember those packs also, I got me a bunch of the 3473 with 50 black 1x6 bricks ! Here´s a link to all the bulk bricks sets on BL.The twist here is that all but one of the 7 sets with Sand Red never been in a "real" set . The only exception is the 2x4 Roof Tile that was in 7314 Recon Mech RP. Lego never reveals what they´re going to do in the future so we´ll just have to wait and see.The 21050 was a cooperation between Lego and Barnes & Noble. There were play sessions based on this set held at B&N. Here´s the full review made by JimButcher !

I think I´ve written in a couple of places, and Sinner also, that I´m super busy and will start sending out the prizes later on. And therefore I don´t read the messages before !

From TLG: :

Glitter Trans-Dark Blue 2x4 !

No, that the version with the press kit.

Yeah, how do you know that? The feedback on the submitter seems pretty solid!

Really well done by Bricktease !

Moved to the forum were the true train aficionados hang out !

Välkommen GoldVillage till Eurobricks! I guess we´ll be seeing you in the Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team forum a lot !

Why are you pushing this issue so hard, isn't it enough that EB runs this pretty cool thing every year ?Sinner is right in his answer from what's been said before, but when I wrote "start sending out mid-december" that's a change 'cause I know you'll like them asap. But the word START is the important one - could mean 1 package ........ ! Now stop thinking about that and just enjoy the warm fuzzy Xmas feeling around the forums !

I´ll start shipping mid-december as Lego Spy wrote, I have way to much stuff before and will be out of town a bit!

At time !
