As I did in the other thread, I have to disagree with the idea of announcing
it at Brickfest.  The voting occured on LEGO.com, so in my mind that is the
most suitable place to announce the winner.  It strikes me that this would
be a much wider audience than just the small crowd at Brickfest.

They announced the voting here on Lugnet, so I don't see it as a big problem.
They've announced plenty of other Lego Direct items at BrickFest and
BricksWest, afterall.

Could it be announce concurrently, through both means?  Sure.  But to have
the general public do the voting and then allow only a fraction of that
number to get a 'sneak peak' at the answer doesn't seem like 'fair play' to
me..

Why should it be "fair"?  Business rarely is, and besides, most of those who
voted probably don't even know about BrickFest, and wouldn't notice there was a
winner until it was announced on Lego.com.  Announcing the winner at Brickfest
would generate more goodwill than bad feelings, so if they are ready to
announce it by Brickfest (which they may not be), then there really is no
reason not to.

(...) I could not agree more. Well maybe a little more, but not much. :-) Well said, Jeff. Announcing at BrickFest (if it happens) will be a pleasant treat for us and will have zero impact on the mundanes as long as it gets up on lego.com soon. It's (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle)
