Hi,
I’m not 100% sure I’ll understand your record.
I was one of the 5 (yes, we were only 5 people) people building that set at
the 1000steine Land in Berlin. According to the official LEGO time keeper
we needed 2 hours 09 minutes and 42 seconds. We were one person less. We
didn’t like our time at all, but it was nevertheless slightly faster then
yours.
What record were you attempting to get? A new US-speed build record or a
new 6 person record, I am slightly confused.
Best regards,
Christian

Hi Christian,
I guess there needs to be a couple of clarifications. Or something like
that.
Our attempt was based on sketchy information - at the time, there were no
announcements online about the attempt by y’all, so we did not have a count
of people involved nor a time (I did do a check online, but wasn’t very
successful in finding any info before BrickFest)
Our team was approved by the LEGO rep timing, and the team went. The time
was indicated to be faster than the 2:47...so where did that time come from
is my question?
Anyways, it appears that the record we made was fastest time with a
six-person team in the US:-) And hopefully it will stand:-)
Congrats on your time!

Hi,
before the 1000steine Land we didn’t have any information about what set to
build and who will build. 5 people were selected to build, and the rules
were:
-Build the set as fast as possible
-Only use one set of instructions and do not rip the insturctions apart as
in do not damage them at all
-Break the seals on the box when the time starts, so no presorting of
polybags
The do not rip the instructions apart made it even more difficult, as we were
constantly flicking pages. Maybe for next year we can decide on rules we all
use, would be more fun to compair our results, if we all use the same rules.
Official time keeper from LEGO was Jan Beyer according to his
posting on
1000steine the time was 2 hours 09 minutes and 42 seconds.

Well, there’s all the rules right there!
And the time was misconstrued by us as 2 hours, 42 minutes.
We were allowed looser rules (I think we were allowed to rip the instructions),
so different methods were done.
I agree that a uniform set of rules should be used, heck standardize them and
release the rules online.
