OK so here they are, the videos showcasing my "Boss-forcer Devastator" mod: Part 1 Part 2 Enjoy! -
Lol, thanks, hopefully I'll get round to finishing the LXF and video soon.
-
So here it is, my first mod for the 41999. Not sure if you can really call it a mod, it's more of a... thing. Anyway, maybe some people remember the Enforcer, my entry for the Technic competition which came second to rm88's Boss. It was only a matter of time before I decided to try to recreate it using the 41999 so I did. However I added a few 'modifications' using parts from my 8455 backhoe loader. Firstly, an excavator bucket has been added to the front bumper for a more 'evil' appearance. Secondly, a wheel powered cannon has been mounted in the rear bed. It can be raised, lowered and ammo can be fed by pneumatics and the cannon is just two rapidly spinning wheels powered by a geared up M motor with a clutch gear to stop me blowing up the motor in the event of a jam. So here it is, I like to call it the 'Boss-forcer Devastator'. Sorry about the poor image quality, hopefully I'll get a video sorted soon.

Awesome, thanks that will help me convert my latest mod of my 41999 to LDD. When I do finally dismantle it, I want it digitally recorded. I will be posting pictures of it soon...
-
Woo, picked up my 41999 today, set 02732 of 20000. Having an epic time building it! Got some cool mocs planned using the parts too!
-
It's been delivered today but I cant pick it until tommorow! Not impatient at all!
-
I'm getting it delivered to relatives who are in more than me to collect parcels so I really hope it doesn't get lost, forgotten, dropped, incinerated, squashed, etc... by the delivery people or anyone else!
-
Awesome! Has anyone else from the top 100 received their prize yet? Anyone reckon the delivery may be slower for England cos I really want mine to be delivered at the weekend!
-
It's awesome that us top 100 get one as a prize, I feel very lucky but I wouldn't be surprised if our prize sets have been pushed back into the second batch and delayed for a few weeks after this mad struggle for the first crawlers. The wait is killing me! Exactly what I was thinking. Cheaper than the Lego rechargeable box and no mod for the 41999 will be required.
-
I wonder when we will see the "set 00001 of 20000" plate up on bricklink or eBay for like 1000$/€/£ and if anyone will be crazy enough to buy it...
-
LOOOOL! You totally had me fooled then!
-
I think they will be sent, it's just that the prizes are last priority which means that the winners may not see their prizes until a week or so after the 1st August. But I could be wrong!
-
You mean if the demand for the set is too high, they will cancel the prizes?! Is Lego really that evil? I've been looking forward to my copy of this epic set for months! Should I stop?
-
Awesome, I thought that the rechargeables may not last as long but if they do that's great.
-
Bit of a noob question but does anyone know if the battery box will take rechargeable AA batteries? I know power will be lost because they run at a lower voltage but I get the feeling that this model will guzzle battery juice and I don't really want to have to keep a large stockpile of regular batteries. Can't wait to receive my copy. I don't know when prize winners receive their models, after August 1st I guess, however it could have been sent already and I wouldn't know because I'm on holiday, I think I could make some great MOCs by using the parts with my good old 8455 pneumatic backhoe loader that I still have lying around!
-
Awesome, a confirmation e-mail, I wish there was a close up, high resolution picture of those boxes, it looks like lots of interesting futures are displayed on them. My birthday is in August, this is going to remind me of being 10 years old again, hoping for an awesome lego set for my birthday, lol!
-
I'm very surprised that they weren't originally going to give you one but congratulations for sorting it out and getting a prize!
-
Ok, thanks for clearing that up.
-
Did anyone get a confirmation email when replying to the email with their details or is it ok that I didn't get one?
-
This is one of the most interesting pieces of info for me, but where is the licence plate? I can't seem to spot it on the preview image, unless it is hidden behind the bull bar or had not been added at that point. It will be available in the online store so I guess it can be delivered to anywhere.
-
I think Meatman means the individual licence plates on each model which will give each one a high value for collectors. What would be really cool is if each prize winner had their Lego ID on the licence plate, especially rm8.
-
There clearly has been a mistake, your design was one of the best and I voted for it. I think that the only reason it did not reach the top 10 finalists was because of the Land Rover copyright issues but you should still get a prize especially as tracked entries got prizes. I think that Lego must no have your contact details correct and you should definitely try to phone customer support and explain if they do not reply to emails because the prize is very valuable and should be taken seriously.
-
OK, my bad! I just got the email telling me that I will be receiving a copy of 'The Boss' along with the other top 100 entries! This is going to be awesome!
-
I would like to think so but I just don't see a motive for Lego contradicting themselves if they were still planning to do this. It seems to me that someone working for Lego realised that it was a terrible economical mistake to award sets to the top 100 so tried to contradict it and hope no one noticed the earlier post. Also the top 100 voted entries is almost the majority of the total number of entries.
-
I'm not going to lie, I don't believe that that they are still giving away these sets. This is because in the official competition instructions it says that the only prize awarded is the production of the winning model and that "no further prizes will be awarded". Unfortunately I think that this is a more reliable source of information than the blog. Many people would say that Lego will not go back on their word, but they have already directly contradicted themselves so I think that that was to say that they decided against the top 100 getting a set idea long ago.
