lcvisser Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Wow, I made it to 4th place. I thought the steampunk (sort-of) looks of my build would not appeal sufficiently, but I was wrong Thanks for all the votes guys/gals! And many congrats to the winners, well deserved! Quote
rahziel Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Congratulations, well deserved, and it was funny that the winner when asked for a review his first statement was "I'm speechless"... :D Quote

MegaRoi Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 REVIEW - EB TC13 - The Mug (limited edition) On 22. Februar 2018 at 3:37 PM, Jim said: Congrats! As stated in the information topic, the first three will each receive their respective mug! And of course the medal tag. And I do have a special prize/challenge for @MegaRoi ....if he chooses to accept. Right to the end of TC13, the first foto of the EB TC13 Mug was leaked. It was quite clear that there will be only a few available, while it's total edition is limited to three. The more I'm happy, to give you an exclusive review of EB TC13 - The Mug. Disclaimer: This mug is my own. It's not my goal to promote this mug. The opinion in this review is my own and is in no way linked to EB. SET INFORMATION Number: EB TC13 Name: The Mug Theme: TC13 Pull Back Contest Released: 2018 Piece count: 1 Weight: 325g THE BOX The prize came in a huge box! The box itself is not too spectacular, but it has a nice text on it: "Daar ben ik dan. Pak mij uit." (Here I am. Unpack me) Once opened, I found out, that there is more content in this box besides the mug. For that, I have to write another review ... CONTENT OF THE BOX The mug itself is nice wrapped and looks quite safe. It comes without any manual or closer description. Maybe EB will think about a certificate or anything else that could come with a future prize. PARTS This prize comes with a single piece: THE BUILD The build was straight forward, even without instructions. THE FINISHED MODEL Front: Back: Top: Bottom: MY RATE Playability: 8/10 Parts: 7/10 Coolness: 12/10 FINAL THOUGHTS It's exclusiveness is unreachable and every piece of this limited line is very unique! The mug itself comes in a good quality and the print looks nice. While the colors of the print may vary, each owner of this mug can be proud to have his very individual edition. The playability of this mug is quite good: you can store things in it and it will even contain hot liquids until they are drunken. Besides that, the functions could have been a bit better. I can imagine self heating mugs, or self refilling ones. Try to think outside the box EB! And as you can see on the pictures, this is a left handed mug! For future editions I would recommend a right handed version, to improve it's usability. To come to an end: this prize came without any instructions. While the build wasn't too difficult, the usage was somewhat nebulous. I think it's best for coffee on Sunday mornings. Thanks to EB, EB members and TC13 voters. Quote
Jim Posted March 4, 2018 Author Posted March 4, 2018 Awesome review of an equally awesome set You made my day Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Excellent review and fabtastic photos . Given the rareness of this set, the prices on the aftermarket will skyrocket and I see no hope of getting one at all ;-) Quote

I'm afraid it's a bit too much for my taste. Quote
Alex Ilea Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 I completly do not agree!! It has amaizing parts!! Rating should be 9/10 ? ?????? Quote
offroadcreations Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 If it's as good as he says it would be worth it to pay extra and buy immediately. Quote
BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 1 hour ago, Jim said: Bricklink and eBay for 60/70 bucks and prices Wow! So little for such a rare set? Doesn't only, like, 1 copy of it exist? Once again, congrats @MegaRoi! Your cup review was awesome, so can't wait for your boost review Quote
Didumos69 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Coffee tastes ridiculously good these days! Thanks for the nice mug ! Edited March 7, 2018 by Didumos69 Quote
Seasider Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 you've got it wrong its a right handed mug so you show off your Technic building skills while drinking your desired beverage Quote

Hehe nice pic!! 15 minutes ago, Seasider said: you've got it wrong its a right handed mug so you show off your Technic building skills while drinking your desired beverage Funny that you mention it. I have been pondering over right or left handed. I am right handed, but I drink my coffee with my left hand. That means I would see the image myself. But you are right, the mug is right handed, so you are probably meant to drink with your right hand...to show off the award Quote
