I think this contest has some of the best entries ever seen in an EB contest! Edited May 1, 2011 by prateek
Brickdoctor Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Wow. Very difficult choice. I need more like ten points. In the end it was between Ignacia Village (3) and Treasure Hunt on the River Nile (18) for my top choice, and I went with the latter because I felt a vehicle entry was more original than a location entry. In entry number order, 2- Pharaoh's Quest Curse of the Mummy - 1 point 3- Ignacia Village 1 point 18- Treasure hunt on the river Nile 2 points 21- Professor Hale's Oasis Hacienda - 1 point 32- The Final Ruins - 1 point 39- The Dojo and the underground - 1 point
Dazmundo Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 5/ The City Connection by TazManiac - 1 point 6/ Museum of Antiquities by TooMuchCaffeine - 1 point 12/ Attack of the Dojo by lego-maniac - 1 point 24/ PQ Museum Raid by CorneliusMurdock - 1 point 28/ The Excavation of the Fortress of Ra Ahmin Ka by Tervlon - 1 point 38/ Colosseum of Atlantis by Brick_Tom - 1 point 39/ The Dojo and the underground by arlutik - 1 point D
Capt. Redblade Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 These entries are amazing! Hopefully TLC is watching this thread for set ideas. 4) Pharaoh's Quest Chess (Oky Wan Kenobi) - 1 point 7) Temple of Amset-Ra (Gabe) - 1 point 13) Attack on the Nile (Yatkuu) - 2 points 34) Temple of Anubis (Oky Wan Kenobi) - 3 points
JimBee Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 2/ Pharaoh's Quest Curse of the Mummy - 1 point 10/ Ninjago Battle Chess Arena - 2 points 18/ Treasure hunt on the river Nile - 2 points 21/ Professor Hale's Oasis Hacienda - 1 point 27/ Ninjago Red Castle - 1 point What a contest. Thanks to the staff for putting it together, and the entries were really something. It was really hard to pick which entries should get my votes, but the main question I asked myself when choosing was, "Would I buy it?". That, I think, is what should decide which entries are the best, because that's the whole point of a D2C set. Good luck to all!
Captain Becker Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 All the entries are great, but many of tjhem are more like a MOC or Vignettes, and they have not thinked at what TLG would actually make.But this dont mean at i dont like them of course. Thats why im gonna give 7 points to: 3/ Ignacia Village by quy - 4 points 32/ The Final Ruins by Jalkow - 3 points I really think at these would be an actual Lego sets, even at there are still some minor things wich i would change. Great work whit these. Captain Becker

Pack765 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 There were many great entries that surely would have won any other contest, but the entries that I felt embodied the spirit of this challenge the best are: 11/ Leviathan Dragon Fish by ---Vertea--- (1 point) 13/ Attack on the Nile by Yatkuu (3 points) 30/ Kraken's Treasure by chief (1 point) 32/ The Final Ruins by Jalkow (2 points)
Superkalle Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 And here are the votes from the Swedish jury (or at least one Swede): 4 points for 23 - maybe nothing to be played with, but oh so sweet to look at 3 points for 28 - brings out the little archeologist in us all
Solitary Dark Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Blimey ! - Way too many fantastic entries - and I just cant give any entry more than 1 point, It was hard enough selecting a final 7 - Sorry to those I missed out - there was at least another 5 in contention here - What a fantastic contest. So in no particular order 18 - 1 point 6 - 1 point 32 - 1 point 3 - 1 point 23 - 1 point 5 - 1 point 10 - 1 point I'd buy several of these! Well done everyone.

Lord Of The Fries Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 They were all great entries but these were my favourite: 2/ Pharaoh's Quest Curse of the Mummy by TazManiac - 2 points 5/ The City Connection by TazManiac - 2 points 28/ The Excavation of the Fortress of Ra Ahmin Ka by Tervlon - 2 points 34/ Temple of Anubis by Oky Wan Kenobi - 1 point Good luck to all the people who entered
L@go Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 A lot of nice entries! My voting is a bit biased here, as I like the PQ theme much better than the other two, but hey - everybody has their favourite. So here are my votes: Entry number 5, The City Connection by TazManiac: 1 point. Entry number 10, Ninjago Battle Chess Arena by Kris Kelvin: 1 point. Entry number 15, Rise of the Dread Colossus by Aanchir: 1 point. Entry number 18, Treasure Hunt on the River Nile by Nieks: 3 points. Entry number 21, Professor Hale's Oasis Hacienda by Rufus: 1 point. Good luck, everyone!
Captain Blockbeard Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 3 - Ignacia Village by quy – 1 point 13 - Attack on the Nile by Yatkuu – 2 points 15 - Rise of the Dread Colossus by Aanchir – 1 point 32 - The Final Ruins by Jalkow – 2 points 38 - Colosseum of Atlantis by Brick_Tom – 1 point There were so many others that really caught my eye, but I voted for these because they were not only impressive but also seemed like appropriate designs for official potential Lego sets.
Decale Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Here are the sets that trigger my imagination the most 6/ Museum Antiquities by TooMuchCaffeine: 1 point 7/ Temple of Amset Ra by Gabe: 1 point 12/ Attack of the Dojo by Legomaniac: 2 points 28/ The excavation of the fortress of Ra Ahmin Ka by Tervlon: 3 points

Aanchir Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 13/Attack on the Nile - 3 points 19/Spinjitzu Training Temple - 2 points 37/Temple Assault - 1 point 38/Colosseum of Atlantis - 1 point Overall, I found myself surprised with what my votes fell to. Most of the stuff was stuff I had already observed to be fantastic entries. However, I narrowed my choices down by choosing things that had: Stunning visuals A unique concept A feeling of completeness-- specifically, it should be something that can stand alone and make someone want to shell out the cost of its parts. Adherence to the aesthetic of their respective themes Complex building techniques or ideas Attack on the Nile was, needless to say, my favorite in most of these respects. Spinjitzu Training Temple fell behind in a lot of respects (its visuals aren't too amazing, and its concept was already explored in the trap-filled Spinjitzu Dojo), but it picked up some of the slack with its amazing playability that lends it a sense of completeness. Colosseum of Atlantis almost got dropped from my voting roster because the sharks pulling the chariot drew away from its sense of uniqueness-- however, the uniqueness of the overall structure and its beautiful adherence to the Atlantis aesthetic won me over. Temple Assault, meanwhile, outdid most of the other temple-style Pharaohs Quest entries with its simple but detailed design (and the fact that it resembles genuine ancient Egyptian architecture didn't hurt its chances either). Entries that were on my list of favorites but which I ultimately didn't vote for included Atlantis Seafood (a brilliant idea, but a bit out-of-place and lacking in unique building techniques) and Kraken's Treasure (brilliant action features, but the overall set design isn't visually stunning and the "mech mode" of the Kraken feels a bit odd). Overall, based on how the votes have been falling, it doesn't look like my entry's doing too well. Sometime I'll inquire in the topic asking why people did/didn't like it as much as the other entries. I'm sure the large parts in it might have something to do with that. But in any event, it was a fun entry to make and I'm so glad I went to the effort to participate in this contest! I feel this contest brought out the best in everyone, and needless to say I never expected my best to match up with the best of this site's more experienced builders. May the best entry win!
The_Customizer Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Wow, VERY good competition and creations! Took me quite a while to decide! Anyway, here are my votes. +1 To: 4/ PQ Chess, by Oky Wan Kenobi +1 To: 13/ Attack on the Nile by Yatkuu +1 To: 18/ Treasure hunt on the river Nile by Nieks +1 To: 34/ Temple of Anubis by Oky Wan Kenobi +3 To: 28/ The Excavation of the Fortress of Ra Ahmin Ka by Tervlon Great job guys! You all deserve first, but only some many can win it!
