You are seeing Judges that aren't up on what Lego has brought out as
stock models, that's where the problem comes in... they probably don't
know that what the kids did wasn't their own creation made from the
Lego... it's sad to see that stock Lego sets of these last years could
win anything either :(  I'm still waiting for the day that Lego gets
permission from Ed "Boxer" Jones to create a few sets of stuff he's
built, I'd buy 2 or 3 at least of those for parts!!! Ed, talk them into
it!!!! tell them next time they want to use your Castle in something,
that they need to bring out better castle sets first!!!! Put some
conditions on their using your great creations!! We'll back you like
Speilberg has done with the Star Wars sets!!

Mookie goes back into deep REM sleep...

sets receiving ribbons and prizes were built EXACTLY as they were in the
SAHS catalog. (the new Town Jr. police set, the RES-Q HQ set, the X-Wing
Fighter, Anakin's Podracer, the Insectoid vehicle with the grasshopper
springed legs, and several Rock Raiders sets.) Among these, The X-Wing,
RES-Q Headquarters, and the Grasshoppery Insectoid thing got white
ribbons! Is there no crime for not having originality?

that there was such a category.)

Lego isn't a toy, it's a way of life!
