Jim

I was referring to the Ad at the right and the Ad in the footer. Which are pretty harmless/unobtrusive. We don’t want any other Ads. If the income is high enough to get rid of the two Ads we might consider that. But we can always use some extra income for contest prizes as well, so we’ll see when the time comes.

We will be looking into that later this year. However, the two Ads we have now will probably remain.

Thanks for pointing it out.

We don’t talk about LEGO in the pub

The contest is online! Here you go Enjoy

Please don't complain about this not being fair and all. RULES AND REGULATIONS The following section describes the contest specific and general rules and regulations. But before that, please take notice of a simple motto regarding the Eurobricks Contests: CONTESTS ARE FOR FUN!

Thanks for the reminder. Got caught up in other stuff. Will try to get it online today. I will be offline for most of the two weeks after that so no hard questions lol

This is annoying. I will check it out... It was an Auto generated experiment bij Google Adsense. I have stopped it.

Done ;-)

LoL

I am not sure about the categories to be honest. I only have a single set as a prize anyway, which makes 3 categories a bit harder.

This!

Lol. Good question. Thanks for the reminder. As usual one week before a holiday always busy. It will be the Monster Truck Madness, so you can start planning. Details will be posted in a couple of days.

I only have one prize for this contest, which makes it very easy Or not easy if we do three categories lol

Monster Truck sounds cool and doable. Yup. But it's probably the same reason TLG is only selling Technic cars nowadays.

Yeah, let's start one. I even have a prize for it. Will start one next week. But I am not entirely sure which one yet.

Good question. Was wondering the same thing myself.

Yup, that's exactly my concern with running such a contest.

Monster Truck sounds cool. Not sure about the Light Brick.

Yeah, this is also one of my concerns.

I was afraid about that. Glad you saw that in time. Are you in the Whatsapp group for the 2026 (which has changed to 2027) event?

I have created two new topics for the 2027 event.

The event has been moved to 2027. The new dates are "26-30 of May 2027". Location is not definitive yet. It's either Germany or Billund.
