TECHNIC 49.5 x 20 TIRE VEHICLE CONTEST - DISCUSSION TOPIC The summer is about to start so you will all be inside building LEGO hehe. DESCRIPTION Design a non-licensed/non-branded vehicle using at least four and a maximum of six 49.5 x 20 tires using these rims. These tires (wheels) need to be used to drive the vehicle. You can use extra wheels for decorative purposes (like a spare wheel on a Jeep which won't count towards the limit). VOTING CRITERIA Voting will be 100% public voting, but the votes will be cast on an external website and won't be visible during the voting period. The voting criteria are (in no particular order): Quality of the build. Functionality. Originality. Looks (shape, color scheme, etc). DEADLINE Deadline date is September 2nd, 2024. Contest will be closed on Tuesday the 3rd OR LATER. Disclaimer: I will close the contest when I see fit and when I have the time to process the results. This can be later than the deadline date. 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!

Working on it. Still in doubt about some of the rules. Maybe I will post a prelim setup so you can shoot at it.

The banana is so tiny Great progress!!

Lol, yes, fair enough... I will put it in my calendar for next week. I will be away for most of the next weekend.

That's fine, but Eurobricks isn't the place for that. Thanks for the explanation. Let's carry on.

I had to look it up, but NEOM is one of the sponsors on one of the pullbacks. Okay, I think it's better to not start that discussion.

Uhmmm what's this comment about?

By Billund, you probably mean Germany It's great that you made the event happen. Let's aim for a big event next year again.

Looking at the current lineup, I can only conclude you are not wrong. I do love the space sets, but that's not because they are so technically engaging. So yeah, I definitely get your point.

Nope, it's not. But something along that line.

Just build something. I will send you a prize Just kidding of course. I will start a contest shortly which will run during the Summer. You will have ample time to build something and we will wrap it up by the end of August or so. As always, thanks for the nudge

LoL I love those triple build sets

So we are getting lazy now aren't we

Looking forward to the alternative model

Not sure if it's called bumping if it's a topic about a currently available set Looking forward to your mods. Still need to build my copy. Another thing I do like about this set is the price. It's quite afforable, which is nice.

Nope. Please enlighten us.

What is the purpose of this device? Looks dangerous.

Of course I meant prints Oops...

Yeah, I know and I absolutely agree. But themes seem to get a certain quota/quotum. This goes for stickers (edit: prints) as well.

Probably a storage issue. They simply don't have the capacity to store so many different parts/colors. We have seen this happen quite often in the past.

Lol, that's harsh

I suddenly realized something…jf.otten the (online) shop does have a striking resemblance to your name What’s the bad news? The price?
