Last month at least 5 out of 8 pictures in the Theme Gallery have been stolen from known AFOLs.

But now the builder of the month is announced and you can see: nothing happened at all! A pirated picture has been voted and announced as winner for the Theme Gallery. http://www.lego.com/gallery/theme/ I'm really disappointed again about TLCs behaviour on this.

(...) all! (...) That's funny! Now TLC has removed the wrongnamed stolen Testarossa (which was a Mustang in fact) and has exchanged the model of the month against the next stolen picture: (URL) model with name "top fueler" has been created by Alex (...)

(...) Jumping in late here, but I think it stinks.

IMHO, it would (...) (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
