 | | ISD Build competition
|
| First, let me fall on my sword about this, I am very very late in posting this info and I sincerely apologise. As I said in this post: (URL) and down thread... LEGO is going to do an ISD build contest at Celebration III and is soliciting teams of (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.lego)

| Well it has been just under a month since the (URL) JLUG> has gone online. Pleased to see such great response so far, with over 70 members, over 1200 posts (of course, most of them are mine and a few other bull horns, wink), and 12 entries in the (...)

| (...) I don't object to your viewpoint (I think it would be really great if it DID work like Cafepress), I'm merely pointing out there are other equally viable and (simpler) alternatives to the way the Lego Factory might function. Lego already sells (...) (21 years ago, 28-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general)

| (...) Ah, I see. I did not understand that you thought the very idea of royalties (aside from their complexity) was an issue. However, on this I will also have to disagree. Without royalties, or some other tangible reward, I do not think the concept (...) (21 years ago, 28-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general)

| (...) Nevertheless, I stand by my original assertion that offering royalties isn't critical at all in making the Lego Factory concept a success - and just adds another layer of complexity to what is no doubt an already complex process. It was a nice (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general)

| (...) Uhm, have you seen print-on-demand servcies such as www.cafepress.com or www.trafford.com? They do exactly that with t-shirts, mugs, books, CD's, etc. The paperwork/legal aspects of such a venture are easy to deal with following the Cafepress (...)

| (...) A good tradeoff might be to give designers credit toward future purchases of their own. That stays "within the system" - no checks to mail, etc. When a designer's model is purchased, that designer's account gets a credit. Very simple, right? (...)

| (...) When a company does something outside its core competency, something infrequent, this is the kind of outcome to be expected. Maybe the Ambassadors could help with making serious building contests fairer. (21 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) I doubt there will be a percentage royalty given to set designers if the Lego Factory is ever opened to the general public. That would be a paperwork/legal nightmare to implement. Think more along the lines of today's Lego Mosaic (only 3D!). (...) (21 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Mark and everyone- As the parent of two LEGO world champions (the 1992 LEGO World Cup, the 2000 LEGO Star Wars Galactic Challenge), I've seen both sides of what it's like to put heart and soul into these events and then win or lose. The bottom (...) (21 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)
