[DLuders]

Make Your 2012 Lego Technic Competition Final Choice

Side-by-side (in no particular order), here are the "THE 10 FINALISTS! -- Vote now! You can only vote once, so take your time". All of the pictures that The Lego Group posted are reprinted below for posterity. Voting ends at 23:59 on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 Central European Time (CET).

Although it has no bearing in TLG's official voting, this Eurobricks Poll will record your private vote on what we Technic Adult Fans of Lego (AFOLs) prefer on this Forum. There may be a difference between what the AFOLs here like, and what the public at large like (on the official Lego website).

I wonder, if all the models from the top 10 are expected to be sold for the same price.

The entries have different part counts (some of them significantly) and also some other features (motors, lights etc...) which influence the price and make them without the price info a bit incomparable.

Do we have some info on that?

BTW: did you noticed how TLG nicely randomly shuffles the images on official voting site, probably to avoid any "preffered" or otherwise forced entries? If it was intended, it is really nice detail.

[shadowhearth]

Hmmm i though this is going to be easy, but final ten is damn great!

Love the black and red offroader. though i will still vote for Boss 4x4. Its still a very simple/sleek/solid desgin which looks great.

So far i see that police 4x4 leading, but i am not really a fan of it...

[Ondra]

That police car is outstanding, In that case I hope it win.

[mobi]

The police car has lots of features and looks very good (well proportionate).

I don't understand why the Mustang style car got so many votes. It is hardly any different from stock 9398 model.

Maybe mustang style car resemble this rc set http://www.hpieurope.com/kit-info.php?partNo=101736〈=en to somebody who can afford it.

[legomuppet9]

I like the police car, but i think that it'll be too much, so I'm going to vote for hrontos quadbike, I've loved it from the start

[Gene]

I believe there must be a balance for the top 10 picks. Ranging from age group to complexity etc..mix feelings for some who didn't it to the top 10. Let's all appreciate that Lego make it a point to connect everyone of us here and have fun : )

Well I could say the same thing about police car, I don't understand why police car get so many votes. For me it looks way out of proportion and not even that nice.

It's matter of opinion. ;) I personally don't know if I would buy police car. I would buy mustang 100%.

I dont believe it is possible to count 70+ votes for half a day (i am about my Boss and Police car).

I posted advertising at my site with 125 subscribers and at my social account with 83 friends. But 70 is too much... May be someone voted twice or more?!

What do you think?

[pint14]

Most of them are great builds , but some of them have the same problem: the body work is very heavy. I think the police truck is too heavy for the suspension. If you check effermans panel trucks video, you could see it isnt very stabilized.

Anything can happen from backend. Anyway, I like the way you presented your entries. Sold!

Thats why my entry is low as it is possible. LDD entries was not tested for stability. To say the truth Police car is too high and heavy, but I like that it is very rich for panels:)

Yes my vote is already on you! Your muscle car looks awesome, although there is not so much peices as other entris have.

[shadowhearth]

Well, so far it looks like a 2 horse race.

This is quite ironic: a police car and a muscle car. Good vs evil!

[Tkavan01]

a lot of work went into creating these, saddly none of the ones i liked made it into the finals, they all seem too tall, the bodies being built above the drive train rather then integrating with it, wheels should be in wheel wells not 20mm below it!

Yes, the digital entries may suffer many these COG issue. As efferman tested with his offroad delivery service, high and heavy entries may lean. Many people probably like the part selection and overall design and do not bother that much with these issues. Or TLG will resolve it. Quad bike is probably the only that has COG lower than the Boss, since it is more flat.

yes, many details of quad situated lower than higher point of chassis.whole body of boss is higher than higher point of chassis. another words, your entry was build around the chassis, and my - on the chassis.

quad is the most original idea of challenge, and one of the best from point of stability

The police car is great but your muscle car has my vote , I would buy a car with that body but not a trial.

[hrontos]

It's very interesting to watch the battle. Looks like 2 fan clubs.

I like how rm8 with his Boss really kept in mind, that it should be able to crawl and tried to get out of this high chassis as much as possible.

[Ondra]

I think if win police car or boss lego will remake it to their eyes.Police car is huge so I think there will be problem with motors(Small speed, heavy load) so lego it will make smaller.

Emergency cars absent from technic line so I will be very happy if it won .

I belive, there many possibilities to make body of enforcer simple and lighter by using panels. Sure, that TLG will use this possibility if it wins.

[camaudio]

Although all great models, i dont really like the 2 in the lead.

For a limited eddition set this one was going to sit on a shelf and i just dont see a place for any of those.

[sapo117]

I voted for the Boss. He's really the Boss out there... love that MOC , I wish to buy/build it asap!

[rm8]

Thank you for votes.
