Yperio_Bricks

Thank you! Do have pictures of your Krownest mocs stored somewhere? I'd love to see them!

Another nice moc and addition to the series Love the bunk beds and floor detailing! Please let me ask, why don't you use these mocs for the Mysteries RPG?

@Yatkuu already reached 10 votes. @Math Wizard's vote was the 10th one.

Welcome to the forum @Ivo Busko Great to have you aboard!

Yep, looks better fitting for the darkest of Lords, Darth Jar Jar

Yes, you are right. Looks like that's the case.

Meanwhile at the Lego HQ: "They will buy everything!"

"From Merchant to Pirate" by Yatkuu/Gregory Coquelz

Yikes, horrible idea for a CMF. These small builds are something for an advent calendar, Lego city magazine or a polybag and they totally miss the point of a CMF series.

I thought maybe the lightning make it appear like the middle gap between the two bricks is invisible on the sloped side. If you look closely at the underside, it looks like there are 2 bricks. But maybe it's just one custom brick like you suggest

Nowadays this would translate into a miniscale Bounty Hunter Pursuit diorama (think of the Trench Run diorama), a midiscale Slave I and a buildable Geonosian statue

We have to be realistic. Nobody is programming an external page just for the voting. And a forum poll is even more risky because everybody can vote, even 100 newly created accounts. Admins or Moderators would have to manually take care of that (if it even is possible to delete votes from a forum poll). The security measures (registration date and post count would not work here). And i guess it is statistically possible that, in a fair vote, one or more entries get zero votes. But one thing is for sure, zero votes does not mean an entry is bad! This is important to note.

It is always hard to create some variety between minfigs in such a specific setting and with limited parts, but you managed to create a fabulous group of jungle warriors! Very nice

It's great to have you aboard Where did you stumble across the poll or were you a lurker in this forum?

Please don't feel bad! You did a great job being so active and helpful throughout the contest! I hope i did not sound too harsh iny my previous posts. Because of my basic English i can't express myself as nuanced and precise as i would like to

Yes , that's true. But i think that that people counting all the votes themselves is a much rarer occurrence because of laziness I would keep the voting as it is and just count the votes at the end. At the end, voting is also part of the fun and a form of engagament

I thought it is only natural, inevitable. But maybe i am just to pessimistic

As i have said, i think the current voting system is good and the best we can get imo. I didn't want to say something but now that we are discussing the voting system: The frequent updates of the results, while the voting was still running [!], are a very bad idea. If there is a bandwagon effect, then because people simply check the results and then vote accordingly. This is the only Lego contest where i ever saw this happening. Last year it had already started, but this year it got out of hand. I am sure it was done with many good intentions and to make the life of everyone easier, but of course most people will check the results before they cast their vote. So when you check the results and see some entries already far ahead, you may consider to vote not for your favorite entries but for the successful ones. Votes should be counted only after the voting period ended.

Would the experience be better for the average Joe forum user and average Jane moc builder if we fly in experts for the voting? Experts that we otherwise never see in these parts of the forum. Will the experts comment on the builds and engage with the plebs or just vote? Please don't get me wrong, I am not against the idea, but there will be implications that effect the contest in several ways. At least that is what i think.

Was that helmet part of a flower set? Or was it only in purple or so? I don't recall it. Maybe there is a newer design ID.

Look great! Especially the lightning in the corridor

Do you mean this one? Design ID 30048. Production ended 10 years ago. Is there a newer one?

How do we determine who is a Lego expert in the first place? How does one qualify to be a Lego expert?

If someone enters a contest, there is always the risk to miss out. I highly doubt the votes in this contest have anything to do with the popularity of a person. The current public voting system is simple and adequate Any other voting system will have it's own disadvantages. For example, I doubt more than 10 people would write emails. And it will be even easier to call a vote rigged if only one person counts votes in secrecy.

The Friends line has quite some good sets and this is one of them! The theme has really grown on me in recent years. And it's so much better than City! Although I probably will never buy a Friends set because of the minidolls. It's not that I dislike them per se, but since I buy sets mainly for the minfigs.... Anyway, I really enjoyed reading the review!
