Posted June 26, 200915 yr According to a North County Times article, Hinckley was one of nine new employees hired by Legoland California, with his job being a master builder. So, congratulations, and don't let us down .
June 26, 200915 yr Congratulations, Hinck. I see your infiltration plan is working. Seriously tough, congratulations and keep on building! Stauder.
June 26, 200915 yr Wow! Props to Hinckley, great job! I must admit, $15s an hour is not amazing, but that is really prestigious! What did he build?
June 26, 200915 yr Erdbeereis said: How will that job work then? Good question. What does a Master builder do? I mean, do you design an build, do you get a blueprint and build accoring to that? Do you make a blueprint and have little magical elves build? Stauder.
June 26, 200915 yr Woah, congratulations. I think this is everybody's dreamjob on this forum. I sure hope you'll have fun!
June 26, 200915 yr Thanks Hinckley, one less job for me at Lego congratulations, you must have gotten about the best job possible, that's what I've wanted to since I was real little. Can you see if your aloud to take some pictures of the work stations there, I'd love to see how they do it. Well have fun there.
June 26, 200915 yr Just got off the phone with him. I'll let him explain how it all went down. Here's the picture of him and his winning model, built over a couple hours in full view of LEGO, the public, and the media. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lights/3661598739/ Congratulations!
June 26, 200915 yr Happy birth... Wait.. This is not I want to say... Hinckley, I wish you many succeses in this amazing work!
June 26, 200915 yr Congratulations, Mark. It's a shame they featured some teenager in the article, though.
June 26, 200915 yr Congrats Hinck! What a great job to have and everyone on the site must envy you. I know you'll do a great job as a model builder and what a great model you made as well!
June 26, 200915 yr I was able to be there, so I was one of the first to actually be able to congratulate him in person. It was the first time that we had met in real life. I took lots of pictures of the build. I'll upload a few of them later. For those of us watching, it seemed like a long time, but for those building, the two hours flew by. I'll also be posting more of my thoughts on the Search on my blog.
June 26, 200915 yr Congratulations, Hinckley! There is absolutely nothing better than getting paid for doing what you like to do the most. All the best in your new job!
June 26, 200915 yr Congratulations and good for you! Nothing better than competing for and winning a job you really want. Best of luck. Like others have said, I would love to see some behind the scenes pictures if that is aloud. Now for the real question we all want to ask...What kind of discount are you going to get and how do we contact you to place our orders?
June 26, 200915 yr Quote Meanwhile, fellow master builder job winner Mark Larson of Indiana was already collecting fans. Several Legoland visitors wrote down his Web site address, saying they wanted to view his other creations. Looks like lots of people are already a fan of your work, Hinckley! Congratulations on getting the position of LEGO master builder. So does that mean that you're going to be building some huge creations for a LEGOLAND Malaysia amusement park? Quote The new master builders will create large, specialty pieces for a new Legoland amusement park that's scheduled to open in Malaysia in 2013. The new associate builders will copy existing Lego designs and do gluing work, among other things, Downing said. Edited June 26, 200915 yr by ILikePi
June 26, 200915 yr I was wondering what Cbs8 was doing when I walked passed their Van at work. Congrasulations, so I guess you'll be moving to Carlsbad, I wish I had known that they were holding a competion, so I could have watched.
June 26, 200915 yr So does this mean no more Chicago for Hinckley? Congrats, I know you'll quickly become a vital part of the team!
June 26, 200915 yr Awwww our little Hinckey is all grown up! Congratulations Hink, you deserve this so so so so much! (I just hope that 10 - 15 US$ is enough! ) EB Event Malaysia 2013! Everyone will come and see you handy work yes? Hehe!
June 26, 200915 yr Congratulations, Dinckley! That's a wonderful model you made! Now what sort of discounts might you get from this new job?
June 26, 200915 yr Congratulations! What a dream come true! How does Jocko feel about a move from Indiana to California though?
June 27, 200915 yr Congratulations Hinckley! daxflame680 said: Now what sort of discounts might you get from this new job? 30% for us LLC employees, and two days of the year we get 50% off, once in the summer and once at Christmas time. The first of which was just a few weeks ago for us, and I definitely bought 35 sets.
