W00t! That'll teach her to mess with us Hufflepuffs! Good duel, KDM. Oops, I thought you wrote it in round 2 too. Weird. Never mind then. Hey CM, once you're back, how about we have a winner-takes-Aurorship rematch?

Sweet. Alright, let's finish this. By the way, you wrote "Crucio! - 1" which I believe is wrong.

Nice one, DLuders! OK, I've participated in all the other funnies threads, so it's time I entered this one as well. Enjoy! Yeah, I know, it's supposed to say "breathe".

Thanks, Captain! DS sent!

Diana Fabray VS. Frankfurt Flashburn Round 3 Diana (2)_______________________________Frankfurt (3) Expelliarmus - 0 _________________________Expelliarmus - 0 Mid - 0_________________________________Protego - 0 Protego - 0 ______________________________Stupefy - 0 Crucio - 0_______________________________Protego - 0 Protego - 0_______________________________Protego - 0 Health: 2______________________________Health: 3 The two duelists shouted "Expelliarmus!" and once again, both of them got thrown back at the same time and lost their wands. Once Diana had her wand back, she fired a spell at Frankfurt, but he cast a shield charm and deflected it. He then tried to stun Diana again, but she blocked his spell with a shield of her own. Next, she tried to use the Cruciatus Curse on him, however the Hufflepuff blocked that as well. The two then stared each other down, hiding behind their own shield charms. Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching. Professor McGonnagal, followed by a crowd of curious students, came out of the castle. "What is going on out here?" said McGonnagal outraged. "I was attacked by a Death Eater" Frankfurt started to explain. "She's right..." But when he turned around, Diana was gone. He was disappointed that she got away, but he was satisfied at the same time as he defeated Fabray once again. Winner: Frankfurt Flashburn What an exciting round. Congrats, CM! You've done it again! Sorry, KDM, your devious plan was delayed again. Perhaps you'll have more luck with this Hufflepuff, though I wouldn't count on it. Please update your profiles now. CM, would you care to adjudicate for me and KDM?

Thanks, KDM! Good job, Captain. It seems you got me again. Diana Fabray VS. Frankfurt Flashburn Round 2 Diana (4)_______________________________Frankfurt (4) Expelliarmus - 0 _________________________Expelliarmus - 0 Crucio - 1_______________________________Low - 0 High - 0 ________________________________High - 0 Mid - 0_________________________________Stupefy - 1 High - 0_________________________________Mid - 1 Health: 2______________________________Health: 3 Diana grabbed her wand off the floor, turned around, and yelled "Expelliarmus!" Frankfurt performed the disarming charm as well, and they both got sent flying backward. Fabray was the first to get back onto her feet and said "Crucio!" Frankfurt lied on the ground in agony, but he managed to shoot a spell close by her feet, making her loose concentration. This allowed the Hufflepuff to break free from the unforgivable curse. After he got up, both of them cast high-arching spells which collided in the air in a big puff of smoke. Once the smoke lifted, Frankfurt stunned Diana, and as she stumbled around disoriented, he fired another spell at her chest. Frankfurt is taking the lead! Can Diana make a comeback? Send me your DSs and we shall see!

If a lack of interior and an almost completely open back is normal for you, yes.

Diana Fabray VS. Frankfurt Flashburn Round 1 Diana (6)_______________________________Frankfurt (5) Low - 1_________________________________Mid - 0 Mid - 0_________________________________Low - 1 Expelliarmus - 0 _________________________Stupefy - 0 High - 0 ________________________________Mid - 1 Crucio - 0_______________________________Expelliarmus - 0 Health: 4______________________________Health: 4 Frustrated over the delay of her rise to Dark Lady, Diana Fabray snuck onto the Hogwarts grounds to ambush an unsuspecting student. When she saw Hufflepuff Frankfurt Flashburn walking around on his own, she decided to attack. She jumped out from the shadows and said "Locomotor Mortis!" Frankfurt's legs locked together, causing him to fall over. As he turned around, he saw Fabray approaching him, so he fired a spell at her, but he missed. Next, he aimed at her legs and bound her legs together as well. Once Fabray fell over and he had removed the curse from his legs, he tried to stun her, but she quickly disarmed him. However, while Diana removed the curse from her own legs, Frankfurt got his wand back and cast a spell right at her. Diana didn't like that at all, so she began to say "Crucio", but before she could finish the word, Frankfurt yelled "Expelliarmus!" The wand flew out of Diana's hand, forcing her to run after it. Frankfurt manages to even the playing field in the first round. Will he be able to tip the scales in the next? We'll see once you send me your DSs!

Thanks, meyerc13, I appreciate it. Yes, the seaplane is my personal favorite part of this creation too. I have not heard of Tales of the Gold Monkey, but I did watch and love TaleSpin, which also featured a somewhat similar seaplane. I don't plan on selling my designs. If someone really wants to recreate the plane, they should be able to do it just by studying the photos. If not, I'll gladly provide more pics for free. Still hoping to read more comments!

Thanks, KDM! DS sent. Well, since you took that win away from me ( ), I've been yearning a rematch, so after I'm done with Kestrel, I wouldn't mind taking you on again, even though I'll probably aid in the rise of the most horrible (yet pretty) Dark Lord the Wizarding World has ever seen. EDIT: Oh, looks like you already chose to duel another Hufflepuff. I'd gladly adjudicate. Sent me your DSs!

Oh, you mean like that teenager who blew up a planet-sized space station in a fighter he had never flown before? Yeah, how dumb is that. Seriously though, let's keep the fanboy wars to the PT vs. CW vs. OT vs. Whatever thread.

You're welcome. So, who'd like to duel me next? How about a rematch, CT?

That's correct, but why do you want the characters if you don't even know who they are? You can find the prices for most of the sets on S@H.

Kestrel Kingfisher VS. Frankfurt Flashburn Round 3 Kestrel (2)_____________________________Frankfurt (3) Low - 0________________________________High - 1 Mid - 0________________________________Expelliarmus - 0 Expelliarmus - 0 ________________________Mid - 0 Protego - 0_____________________________Stupefy - 0 Stupefy - 1_____________________________High - 0 Health: 1______________________________Health: 2 Soaking wet, Kestrel shot a spell toward Frankfurt's legs, but he leaped out of the way and hit Kestrel's head again. This time a small lightning bolt struck down on the Ravenclaw, giving him a little electric shock. The two duelists then disarmed each other and were forced to run after their wands. Once Frankfurt had his back, he turned around and yelled "Stupefy!" However, Kestrel got his wand back too and pulled up a shield charm just in time. Then, Kingfisher performed a stunning spell himself with formidable success, but unfortunately it was not enough to even the scores. Frankfurt Flashburn had won. Winner: Frankfurt Flashburn Well fought, you two! Congrats, CM! Go Hufflepuff! Please update your profiles. CM, I believe you still need to subtract the 5 wins that it took for you to change your spells from your win count.

Kestrel Kingfisher VS. Frankfurt Flashburn Round 2 Kestrel (4)_____________________________Frankfurt (4) High - 0 _______________________________Expelliarmus - 0 Expelliarmus - 0 ________________________Stupefy - 0 Mid - 0_________________________________Mid - 1 Stupefy - 1 _____________________________Mid - 0 High - 0________________________________High - 1 Health: 2______________________________Health: 3 Frankfurt got up and disarmed his opponent. He then tried to stun Kestrel, but the Ravenclaw quickly recovered his wand and disarmed Flashburn in return. While Frankfurt was getting his wand back, Kestrel shot a spell at him, but missed. Frankfurt cast the same spell back towards Kestrel and, being naturally talented, hit him right in the stomach, making him feel naut0ious for a moment. Once he recovered, Kestrel stunned the Hufflepuff. Then, both duelists aimed at each other's heads and shouted the same spell. The spells flew toward each other, and because Frankfurt's spell was stronger again, it broke through Kestrel's and hit the Ravenclaw on the head. A small dark cloud formed itself above Kingfisher and rained down upon him. Frankfurt's natural talent helps him come out slightly ahead in this round. Will Kestrel be able to turn the tide in the next? Let's find out!

Very true, so here it goes: Kestrel Kingfisher VS. Frankfurt Flashburn Round 1 Kestrel (5)_____________________________Frankfurt (5) Expelliarmus - 0_________________________High - 0 High - 0 _______________________________Stupefy - 1 Stupefy - 0_____________________________Expelliarmus - 0 Low - 1________________________________Mid - 0 Protego - 0_____________________________Low - 0 Health: 4______________________________Health: 4 Having defeated a Death Eater, Kestrel felt confident and challenged Hufflepuff Magus Flashburn to a duel, who gladly accepted. Frankfurt started off the duel by trying to hit Kestrel on the head with a spell, but the Ravenclaw disarmed him before he could finish his spell. However, Frankfurt quickly recovered his wand, stunned his opponent, and disarmed him. He tried to follow up with a shot at Kestrel's chest, but the adept ducked, grabbed his wand, and cast a spell at Flashburn's legs, causing him to trip. From the ground, Frankfurt tried to get back at his opponent by shooting a spell toward his legs as well, but Kestrel deflected it by pulling up a shield charm. First round ends in a tie. Let's see what Round 2 will bring!

Well, since KDM seems to be busy, I'll adjudicate for you. Send your DSs!

Thanks for the pics. The clock tower is kinda nice, but too <insert that tiresome argument> and hole-ridden. Then don't mention it, or at least put it in spoiler tags. What figures?

I think it's safe to say that we can add 10218 Pet Shop to the list.

I think Cafe Corner, Market Street, Green Grocer, and especially the upcoming Pet Shop would all fit in nicely in Diagon Alley, even though they're a bit taller than the Diagon Alley buildings. Winter Toy Shop might work too if you remove the snow and Christmas ornaments.

Depends on your definition of "special". Just kidding. Congrats, Rufus!

That was already posted a while ago. But it never gets old.

Congratulations! Your prizes are well deserved, but then again, every entry deserved to win in my opinion as they were all very good. Happy shopping!

OK, this was really tough as all the entries were really great, but I based my votes on how well the entries fit into the theme, how well they're constructed, and how well I can see them becoming an actual D2C set. 12/ Attack of the Dojo 2 15/ Rise of the Dread Colossus 1 17/ Atlantis Seafood 2 19/ Spinjitsu Training Temple 1 38/ Colosseum of Atlantis 1

OK, thanks. I still think applying decals virtually could be considered "work of the customizer" too, but whatever. I might enter if I think of something good. Can the 16 x 16 vig be comprised of multiple different small scenes from different themes? If so, could they be stacked? Is there any piece count limitation for the accessories of the figs?
