Okay, just so everyone knows, I have chosen the winners but have been too busy to change the MOCpage and craft a post. I will try really hard to do it tonight..."try" being the operative word there. :D

Josh

PS. Posting this at 5 in the morning because I got two PMs yesterday, wanting to know who won...

Okay, here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for! ;) I want to thank everyone who entered, I was very impressed by the high level of the entries. It was hard to choose the winners this year. The contest was full of great entries, and many of the entries that didn't win deserved some kind of prize. I am only giving away three sets, but I could have used 15! I narrowed it done to the best 15 entries and then I had to agonize over which ones to cut.

Here are the winners in no particular order (except 1st to 3rd).

1st Place - Jungle Surprise by Stone Goblin
(Prize - 6040 Armor Shop and the forum title of "Master Tactician")

2nd Place - The Battle of Mistguard Pass by BreadMan
(Prize - 6034 Black Monarch's Ghost)

3rd Place - Shogun Showdown by SuvieD
(Prize - 6020 Magic Shop)

Congratulations to the winners! Please PM me with your addresses, so that I can mail out your prizes.

(To be an echo:) Congratulations, Winners!

I think all of the winners really deserved this. And Stone Goblin is going from special rank to special rank!

I am very pleased with the results and I'm sorry that not everyone could win. There were some superb entries which didn't win and my best wishes go out to them for next year.

Thanks for all this work Josh, and thanks for all the great MOCs everyone who entered!

A big thanks to Josh for running another successful contest, and for the set :).

I'm really glad to see that SuvieD's placed, as that was my personal favorite. The detail work is wonderful, especially the cherry tree, and there's some great ninja/samurai action in there.

A few other personal favorites:
- Hordesman's Pub Fight for the creative take. Made me go "man, I wish I thought of that!" and then pick up a Discworld novel :)
- Fry Slayer's Pre-Dawn Assault. I like that it was shot against a black background so you have to actually look for the assassins.
- SuperRadz's Arising of the Demon Azbynmop. Nice construction on the skeleton demon, great way to use bionicle parts.
- Heck, there were so many other great entries, I can't list them all. Good job all, can't wait til next year!

Wow! The people who won really deserved it! :o . Really nice building you guys!!! I like the use of Jar-Jar Binks for head dresses in the winning "Jungle Suprise."
I liked every entry. I really liked Hordesman's Pub Fight. I really like the idea of it.

Excellent Job Everyone!

Congratulations all winners! I didnt win, but now Ive learned many more methods on how to pose a minifig, and will train on doing more creative posing. :wink:

Thanks all who liked my Pub fight, I think I shouldve made it more crowded and knew some posing I didnt know then, but we'll see something next time, though then I will try something compleletly different. :)

Its fun though, both Breadman and Stone Goblin got huge amounts of old figs and SuvieD is clearly a fantasy fan, so I guess no price was unwanted. :D
