Congratulations to the winners! Well, I think a contest would be a lot more unfair if the best contestant didn't win :P My thoughts exactly. The highly skilled builders (which I am not) shouldn't feel the need to disqualify themselves. They've spent the time to build up their skill level. They shou...

a forty one year old woman has no business playing with a kids toy. :cry: Especially one with dubious intentions! :D Awwww, here you're only as old as you feel. I feel (and usually act) like I'm about 8. The only difference is, I'm an 8 year old with a 30 year old's credit card. So when my family m...

Another reason to start your kids building early

I just found this, and I thought everyone with kids could use it as ammunition to justify buying more sets. I mean, I thought this was important research:

Daria: I really like the beach landscaping in your second moc. The front looks great too. Kind of like a temple. Also the forced perspective picture in your first moc is a really neat idea. DARKspawn: Awesome as always. And I'd like to echo your sentiment about building for the challenge. I think pe...

Whew. Finally. :wink: Congrats to all the winners. I think this is a great contest (it's actually what got me to stop lurking) and I hope to see it again soon. I'd be more than willing to help out if needed. Again, well done winners. And don't feel too bad about the time issue Lenny. Life happens.

When I first came out of my dark ages, I bought a few MB Dragons sets. I thought they were cool. All my friends were doing it. If only I had known. Truthfully, I thought the MB sets had some pretty cool parts. But they have 3 major flaws which stopped me from buying any more1: 1. The colors look poo...

I doubt anybody's upset. Digging up old threads is just a pet peeve for some people. Don't let it discourage you from participating.

Just a supposition, but I'd say you've been branded with the dreaded, "Noob of the month" designation. It tends to happen when a relatively new person posts in mass quantities over a short period of time. Also, digging up old threads tends to hack people off (particularly a few Admins who ...

Good to have you here. Don't feel pressured to lurk, just jump right in. Some lesser used acronyms: DWTPIN! (Dude, where's that piece I need?) HOITT? (How old is this thread?) WCII30&SPWL? (Who cares if I'm 30 and still playing with LEGO?) Actually, nobody uses these acronyms, but I feel that th...

As Steve had mentioned (congrats on the nuptials, Steve), today is the one year anniversary of the initial announcement of this contest. Has anyone heard from Lenny in a while?
