|
| | | Hi all, I'm sure most of you know that the Lego Factory contest ended on Monday and the winners have been announced. My son's design (car dealer) was in the running and it looked as if he was going to be one of the winners until early Monday (...)

| | | | | (...) MEGA CUT (...) At this time I have to add nothing that I didn't write in my post ((URL)). I agree 100% with you. I hope TLC will do something because a builder can't win 4 times... it is not right. Regards, Luca (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | (...) I actually voted for the pirate ship model but I have to agree with you that it is both wrong and suspicious that that person won for four entries. It was wrong, as you said, to allow one person to win more than once. It is suspicious that out (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)

|
| | | | | | Thanks for the kind words. I agree with you that the idea the Lego company has with regards to creating other sets would be a good one, given the substantial number of very nice creations that did not win. It would be nice to see some of my designs (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Glad to hear your designs might be available to purchase one way or the other. But that brings up an interesting question. Assuming a 5% royalty to the designer from sets created and sold through LEGO Factory, would it make financial sense to (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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!). (...) (20 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)

|
| | | | | | | (...) 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? (...)

| | | | | | | | | Re: Lego Factory Contest results —J. Spencer Rezkalla
|
| | | | | | | | (...) True, but you're sort of missing the point that I'm speculating on. Limiting model size can keep the designs within the realm of typical consumer spending habits AND more importantly is probably required anyway, since I seriously doubt Lego (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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 (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | | Re: Lego Factory Contest results —George Edward Godwin
|
| | | | | | (...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 28-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 28-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general)

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.

Maybe the Ambassadors could help with making serious building contests fairer. (20 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)
