September 20, 201014 yr Wouhou yeah! I'm so glad I won the mime (3 heads for the price of 1, which actually in this case is zero€ ). This hunt provided so much fun, my girlfriend got caught at the minute I read her the rules, and stayed on the site on advanced hours of the night, she who had never surfed on EB before! I think it was a very well done treasure hunt, it had some good clues which needed a specific lego knowledge and THAT made it sooo gratifying when you found what you were looking for . Thank you Eb staff, you can be proud!
September 20, 201014 yr Yeah, if we do this again I'll probably host them myself; I have full control over the URL then and I have three domain names to play with! Some could even be hosted on the EB server. To be honest I don't consider this a major problem; someone would need to find at least two to establish a pattern, and we could stick in a few extra ones that don't match the clues to make things just a little bit harder. Thanks for sharing your logic though. Yes, I fully agree that it's not a major problem, and thus not worth spending a great deal of time to combat, especially considering that "I'd say you're the only person on the boards who could be bothered looking at that sort of a solution for it :P" (quoting another member of the staff)
September 20, 201014 yr Cool - Ringmaster, thanks! I've already expressed my appreciation for the contest, but no harm in repeating. Thanks to the organisers, this was great fun - I looked forward to the next clue every day. Can't wait for the next one!
September 20, 201014 yr Wow thats the second time in a few months that I am lucky enough to win some here on EB. It was a great hunt with some nasty clues, but as said before, while searching you find out lots of interesting topics around the forum. Well I am allready emptying a shelf for the weightlifter, one of the toughest to find , for me at least. Thanks, Jan
September 21, 201014 yr Dear winners, This is some update on the prizes status, 14 out of 16 winners have sent their address to me. All 16 packets are packed and ready for shipment. Please note that delivery of packages are done in stages and was explained via PM earlier from me. Therefore, winners will receive their prize at a different period but definitely before Christmas. The first stage will mail out today. Thanks. DarkFang/WhiteFang
September 21, 201014 yr Aw drats, I didn't win, oh well better luck next time I don't even recognize half the names of the winners Congrats to all the winners for completing the search I really liked this contest and hope something like it is done again in the future. Great job to all the staff for organizing it.
September 25, 201014 yr The Weightlifter just arrived here at my home in excellent condition. To be sure, I leave him in quarantaine for just a while, and check him first for anabolic steroids and such. I'm sure I will find a place for him in a future MOC. Thanks, Jan

September 30, 201014 yr The Mime is home, he's alright. Is it normal that two of his heads are sad, and the third is scared? I thought at least one head was supposed to be smiling. Oh well, never complain about FREE LEGO Thanks WhiteFang!
