Does the highest ranked, and the 'moster truck' look like a familiar brand?

Not to mention 2 of the entries are bionicle, and the only model with real

Several Words for Lego: Actually sponsor a building contest, don't supply
clone bricks and *definitely* no bionicle entries!

Just my two brickz...
