Slegengr Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Wow, I joined at just the right time! This is something that hits right in my interests and I hope to have entry(ies) completed. I have always enjoyed LOTR and have planned a number of MOCs, some of which would fit the given categories. Time to get building! Slegengr
TheRedViper Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Sounds like a great contest, thanks for making this. I better start building.
kevkipo Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Sounds Fun! With the new sets coming out, it will make for a great Smaug vs Lake-Town or Bo5a Moc :D
Mr. Cube Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Great! I got one question - "Two entries per member, per category" means, that I may do 1 or 2 MOCs, or I must do 2?
Shib Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I haven't got a chance of winning, but this is definitely going to be a fun contest to enter!
Ecclesiastes Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 You MAY do two entries. (added in the rules now)
MstrOfPppts Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Awesome! Finally a good reason to step out of the Star Wars for a short time ...
Alfadas Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Sounds nice, will start building right this weekend!

Adolfo Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Great! I got one question - "Two entries per member, per category" means, that I may do 1 or 2 MOCs, or I must do 2? I have the same question. Can we build for just one category? Edited October 1, 2014 by Adolfo
MKJoshA Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Ah! So cool! But where will I find the time to build!?!
Wat Tambor Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 This contest sounds like a lot of fun. I have tons of ideas for sets and minifigs that are still missing and the 16x16 category is also interesting. Now I have to read "The Hobbit" again for an inspiration what to build for the contest.
Admiral Khan Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 This is something I have been waiting for... Awesome.
Graham Gidman Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Looks awesome! Will definitely try get something up for this!
Night Hawk Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Sounds Like fun! I think I'll give it a shot.
Pate-keetongu Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I'm in. Not sure of category (ies) yet, but I'll build something.
ZCerberus Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I have the same question. Can we build for just one category? Absolutely. You may have a MAXIMUM of two entries per category, but there is no minimum. You can have 1 in all three, or 1 in category A and none in B and 2 in C or just one entry in category C and none in the other two. Again, no minimum.
