Katannaka Raffle!

[CM4Sci]

Ok... Extension time!

I sorta have more prizes than entries right now... You have until Christmas Day!

Ooh, more prizes? What are they?

-Sci

[Peppermint_M]

DVDs and Polybags. They are all a bit of the older crop as they are leftovers from the Ninja Month prize pool. I thought you'd all appreciate a chance to grab some goodies.

[ultron32]

Oh, cool...

If you don't get any more entries you could just give everyone multiple prizes :P

And if the prizes are leftovers, does that mean we get tags too?

Oh, I forgot about this. Thanks for extending it! Here's my entry:

EDIT: New entry.

Here's my entry;

It's Christmas Eve and the ninja are fast asleep. Well, except from Cole, who's realised he forgot to put his stocking up! And in the (St) Nick of time too as Santa wil be there soon!

Cole thinks he should have left taking the presents down the chimney to Kai, the ninja of fire.

Ninjago Christmas:

Complete with Nya and Jay under the mistletoe, Zane with a new face for his battle damaged one, Kai getting a teddy bear and innocent Lloyd. And a rare apperence by Sensei Clause

I think my edit won't get noticed so I'll ask it again: it won't let me take a screenshot of my LDD model, so could a mod please do it? Thanks.

Did you try pressing Ctrl-K in the LDD program? I think the is a screenshot item from the LDD menu.

[Sir Brickalot]

Yes but the file's too big. Is it alright as it is?

[Peppermint_M]

The instructions for all sorts of LDD tricks are in the LDD Forum I can't be much help as I am not a big user of LDD...

[dr_spock]

As there is a size limit to attachments on EB, you can upload the image to a picture sharing site like Flickr, Photobucket, Brickshelf, etc. Then link the image in your post with the [ IMG ] ... [ /IMG} tags or use the Image button the post editor. You should scale the image to 800x600 pixels which I think is the standard on EB due to users in countries with slow Internet connections.

[Sir Brickalot]

Thanks both, opened up a Flickr account specially, now I've linked it straight to the Flickr page and don't know how to embed it. I'll go and find a tutorial somewhere. Thanks again!

[Lego Spy]

Yes! Extended time, thanks! I'll try to do a quick LDD of something.

[Lego Spy]

Alright, here's mine!

Some fun in the snow for the ninjas!

OK, I've finally deeplinked my picture! Sorry about the hassle .

[Sir Brickalot]

Here I am again, more hassle. I'm on my mobile, and I was editing the post with my entry on it, and I somehow deleted the picture. I won't be able to go on the laptop as it's Christmas, but please can you still enter me into the raffle? I've included a link to the picture on my entry post so I hope that's alright. So sorry, I'm new to embedding and everything, but I'm sure you saw the picture, and it was a lot of trouble for and to upload it, so please don't disqualify me. Thanks.

[MKJoshA]

I hope I don't come across as too harsh, but I feel that the builds for this contest have been sub-par. To everyone who posted a "quick-build-just-to-win-a-prize," shame on you. Your goal should have been to build a good looking MOC, not a few minifigs on a plate. There are very few entries that I feel are worthy of even entering into a contest let alone winning anything. That's my two cents worth, take it for what it's worth.

I suppose that depends on what you consider a "minifig on a plate" MOC. The challenge was to depict the ninjas partaking in winter/holiday related activities, so if you can depict that with a few minifigures on a plate, I see no reason why it should be disqualified. (If that's what you're suggesting)

[Oky]

Here's a quick last minute entry. It's not much, but it's supposed to be simple. Zane builds a snowman as a tribute to his sensei. Because that's what Christmas is all about, showing your love and respect for others.

Thanks to Peppermint_M for this fun raffle. Happy holidays!

The thing is, is that this isn't a contest. It's a raffle...

Most raffles out there don't require any creativity, which is why I like these EB raffles. It's a fun little excuse to throw something together for those of us that don't have time to play with Lego normally.

[Peppermint_M]

It is a raffle, all you need to do is post an entry and I put your name into a random draw. Really, it is that simple! If I wanted super duper entry builds I would launch a full flung contest. The thing is, the prize cache I have is now a little, well, old. Free LEGO is nifty but we all want new shiny latest, not stuff I picked up two years ago... This way I give you guys some cool stuff and don't feel bad every time I see the little pile in the corner of my LEGO store-space...

[MKJoshA]

Ok, fair enough. I recant some of my ranting. I didn't realize there was a difference between a raffle and a contest. That's good to know

[Sir Brickalot]

If you don't mind me asking, Pep, will the draw be tomorrow?

[Peppermint_M]

Possibly, I am off but I may have to run as a taxi for the sales .

It would be worth it if the supermarkets had got a stock of big box LEGO worth looking at, not this year though.
