Yes, yes and yes

For the wallet, it's better not to get a new 500+ euro set this year I will probably get the last four sets in the list, which will boil down to 700 odd euros. That's enough for this year

Sorry to disappoint you. McLaren is also mentioned with question marks

LoL

I would be very surprised if it's gonna be something else than a (regular) purple McLaren. That being said; we are back to speculation again, so be careful the Admin won't come in and warn us

Like @Ngoc Nguyen said, we will leave that for another contest. But maybe we can turn it into a generic "9 wide build" contest, so cars, helicopters, bikes etc can be built too. Although bikes can become big, even with a 9 wide limit. So maybe trucks and cars.

Hehe Actually, I was thinking about Truck and/or build something using these tires, but I am not sure the scale will be too ambitious for 5 weeks: https://brickset.com/parts/6055626/tyre-49-53x20-truck

Can you read my mind?! LoL

We can run another contest starting next week. This allows for five weeks of building. Since time is somewhat limited it needs to be a small-ish contest. I have some things in mind, but I like to hear what is feasible within a five week period.

Hi, Welcome to EB! Please use English on this forum. Thanks!

We need to start a Patreon or something, but I need to take some time to find oit how that works.

Here is a topic to show/share some WIPs or Proof of Concepts that don't immediately warrant a dedicated topic. I have added it to the Index.

Bricksafe is the best free alternative if you don't want to use Flickr.

LoL The topic would be for "I like to show something, but I don't have enough for a dedicated topic".

Is there any interest in/desire for a Generic WIP / Proof of Concept topic? I have been asked by @Aurorasaurus if this would be an idea. A topic to post WIPs you might or might not complete or simply a Proof of Concept.

Due to work, it’s highly unlikely that I will be able to attend the event. I will make sure that you will get some sets for contest prizes though.

This could be the "General conversation topic" and you can create a new one for the specific challenge.

O wow, you really went all out. I have ordered more than the regular pins, but I haven't ordered as much as you listed. I will do a small review of the set with color replacement. This sure looks good!

This looks very cool. And what a nice set to win. Good luck with the contest.

LoL Actually will be doing a mini review of the Ornithopter. I have ordered parts to replace the colored pins etc. I will post in in Technic first. Might take some time before I finish it.

I can arrange that, but I will need to finish the 42145 first

O wow, The Martian indeed. Never realized he wore this color. I stand corrected I love this new color

Do you have any examples? Never seen this before. LoL fair enough

That is a nice C-model! Well done. Looking at it, I am not quite sure why we needed another red/orange color. I absolutely love what TLG did with the space sets across all themes, but I am not convinced we needed that color.
