Hello,
While going through some of the current official Lego design contest entries
held on their site, I came across a startling discovery: The model in first
place has been on the web for as long as I can remember, and it also belongs to
Mr. Greg Williams. However, it says on lego.com that it was made by some 10
year old kid. I invite you all to go to this link,
http://www.mindspring.com/~gregw/images/apc-left.jpg , and tell me that the
model in first place on www.lego.com is not the same thing. If any Lego
employee or site maintainer or something is reading this, I ask you to please
regard this message. Either remove the model from your contest all together, or
give proper credit to its rightful creator.

| Hmm...greg williams has directions on how to build it on his site so the kid could have "built" it, but ceratinly didn't design it or make pictures of it. Unless greg w is masquerading as DEJNAP, 10 years old form sweden..... (...) (25 years ago, 2-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

| Yikes! Thanks, Todd, for pointing me to this thread. I admit I haven't been keeping up with lugnet lately. That is indeed my APC model on the LEGO website. However, after reading the rules I wonder if LEGO will do anything. Here's an excerpt: "The (...) (25 years ago, 2-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
