Expect me to enter! Those prizes look awesome.
The source for all your LEGO Castle needs!

I'm a little bit confused. By my count, there are fourteen categories (siege weapons, medieval life, wagons and carts, classic shops, medieval ships, outlaw fortress, miscellaneous, castle vignette, tudor style shops, yellow castle style, custom figure, champion, da vinci category, and beasts), so if we can enter two entries per category, wouldn't that mean that we can enter 28 MOCs? Or am I confused about the categories?architect wrote:You are allowed two entries per category and you can enter each category (except master builder because that works a bit differently). So I believe you can enter 14 mocs into the contest.
Same here!I'm sad to see so many catergories!
There goes whats left of my social life!
They are six bricks high. Check out the "CCC City" section of Classic Castle. Our standard wall height is based on the LEGOLAND one (but not the same thickness for CCC walls).I have a question. Somewhat emberising but...How high are the LEGOLAND wall exactly? Are they five bricks high?
You are right. I was thinking of 14 categories and should have said you can have 28 entries. But you are limited to 2 entries per category and I would suggest working on quality of mocs not quantity. Last year's contest had superb mocs, and we expect even better ones this yearso if we can enter two entries per category, wouldn't that mean that we can enter 28 MOCs? Or am I confused about the categories?
The book was published in 1982 (hence 50 years from whene Ole Kirk Christiansen founded LEGO). It is extremely rare and was available to people inside the company. Personally, I would love a copy and I am sure it is the most valuable prize. I have seen it on eBay once or twice for very high prices.What's the scoop on the "Master Builder -Book: 50 Years of Play"? Is it/will it available for purchase anywhere?
Yes TLC donated two sets (Mini Robots and Wild Collection) and the book "50 Years of Play". (LEGO also donated prizes last year) We would like to thank them for their generosity. If we put a "donated by:" on the prize page, trust that these people/companies actually donated the prizes.One, question: a lot of the prized say "Donated by LEGO"; did TLC actually donate the sets, or does this mean something like they are curent sets, bought by one of the admins for the contest?
Of course! But seeing as how I don't intend to win in any of the categories, I may as well have fun and try to churn out as many MOCs as I can, and who knows... maybe I'll get lucky.architect wrote:But you are limited to 2 entries per category and I would suggest working on quality of mocs not quantity.
Perhaps this is a stupid question, but what exactly does that mean? For example, I often post images to show people what I'm working on and stuff. I started a MOC a couple days ago with the intent of this contest, since I knew it would be coming up shortly. Is it okay for me to show people (here) pics of what I'm working on right now?Bruce N H wrote:From the contest rules: "You can not submit any creations posted online before November 1st, 2004."
So if you have something you've recently built but have not yet published, by all means--just wait a few days before you upload the pics. The main intent, though, is to encourage people to make new creations, rather than to judge
