Thats not funny.

Rejection message: Your creation has been posted before."

Try to rename the whole set of files you are uploading. Once confirmed, drop a note to the moderators informing them your revised post etc..happens to me when I advanced my project. Maybe the word "BOSS" on the car plate crashes with a fashion brand.

I've send many messages to moderators, but every tome they do the same. So many copied entries in the gallery...:[

This would look really good as a 1970's police car, Blues Brother style.

[Edwin Korstanje]

That's whas for me a reason why i did not make a real copy off mine dubble headed Daf dakar truck

@ rm8: Perhaps the Competition moderators think that your entry looks too much like these previous entries (even your own rm88 one below). If you send the moderators direct links to those entries and point out the differences, maybe they will allow your newest entry to be placed in the Competition Gallery for new votes.

Great entry!

You got the "classic muscle car" look really good.

I can`t see any reason for Lego to turn it down. So good luck and please don`t stop submitting the entry ;-)

Offtop: how to contact TLG technic challenge moderators?

[DLuders]

@ rm8: On this 2012 Lego Technic Competition webpage, it says:

"How to contact us

This Sweepstakes is sponsored by LEGO System A/S, Aastvej 1, 7190 Billund, Denmark .

You can contact us in relation to the competition by writing a letter to LEGO Consumer Services, Aastvej 1, Billund, Denmark, or by phone 00800 5346 5555 or by writing an e-mail – See www.lego.com under Customer Service ."

There is also a possibility that Grohl (Milan Reindl) may be able to assist (since he's involved with the Competition also) -- look here for his address.

Another answer from moderator:

I asked many questions about what they mean, copy of who, ask to show copied entries. But everytime they answer the same phrases. This is unfair. I am disappointed.

[hrontos]

They probably do not write the rejection messages, they only select rejection reason from some list, so the message is very formal, without valuable information.

And this last one is very ridiculous, since my creations very copied several times by different users and they accepted them. And it is also not a design protection since the Land Rover is much more obvious copy of particular real car and entry is there. I am curious what is the problem.

[timslegos]

Regardless of what Lego says, you built a great car to go on top, nice job.

@ rm8: So basically The Lego Group "Rejected" your BOSS entry because it bears too close a resemblance to your first entry? Maybe you could work a deal with them -- you could WITHDRAW your first entry and REPLACED it with your BOSS entry. If your BOSS entry is the best one (and they agree to the deal), MAYBE you could easly get back the 82 official votes (via exposure on this Eurobricks Forum) in the next week or so. Do you want to risk it? I still think that Grohl may be able to help; have you sent an e-mail to him?

[hrontos]

If you want to go for that deal, simply replace pictures in your original entry. From technical point of view it is easier than to negotiate and ask them to keep your existing votes.

BTW, you can submit copies of your own entries. As long as there are at least minor changes. I have seen some entries which differ only by color.

[hrontos]

Your entry is finally there.

[DLuders]

As hrontos mentioned, VOTE on THE BOSS made by rm8 / rm88 on this Technic Gallery webpage: http://technic.us.le...=latest&index=6 . Only 8 days left! Persistence pays off!

Thank you for help and support. I emailed Grohl and customer service.

Milan answered me this night, that he will contact with moderators.

And the result is positive. I am happy. Thank you.
