----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello guys,

Some weeks ago we designed a deserted island MOC for a Lego Ideas contest. The theme was related to the coast and there was a limit of 250 bricks. We decided to create a MOC based in a deserted island with a castaway, and include a ton of details and accessories to make it fun and playable. We got the inspiration from an old screensaver that had this theme. So far this is what we came with:

Visit the Submission Webpage on LEGO Ideas.

Today we are pleased to say that our build has been selected as finalist of the Lego Ideas contest, which will decide the next Lego purchase gift. At the moment the contest is open for voting and, the next week, the design with more votes will officially become the next Lego purchase gift!.

Here is the link of our entry if you want to take a look: Submission Webpage on LEGO Ideas.

Best regards.

Was it that screensaver from the early 90's called Johnny Castaway?

We all did it!  Well, everyone who contributed to this marvelous venture!

According to the official announcement on the LEGO Ideas blog, Ray the Castaway received 969 votes, while the entry in second place, Message in a Bottle by JuBex received 524 Votes.

So that's quite a wide margin - getting close to double the votes.

But still, it's not even 1,000 votes, so we can definitely do better for future contests.
