Interestingly, TLG removed the vote totals from all 33 final entries. They are
no longer posted....

There were 3 entries which had a lot of votes, at the end they had more than
1500 votes... the 4th had "only" about 600 votes. Ok, two of those 3 didn't win
(disqualify for cheating?). All three received every day more than 100 votes and
the last day ALL 3 got more than 500 votes!!! I think all three received a lot
of votes (or simplier they were cheating?) and LEGO what has done? They
disqualified 2 of them! Not all 3! Why?

I've followed, during the last days, the numeber of votes of the first 4 entries
(I will not add any name because I want take this post as objective as
possible!)

number of votes during the last days - final number of votes => result
----------------------------------------------------------------------
462 - 547 - 557 - 592 - 1764  => disqualify
479 - 593 - 659 - 850 - 1827  => 1st senior winner
433 - 519 - 794 - 809 - 1924  => disqualify
447 - 543 - 554 - 585 - 638   => 2nd senior winner

The numbers says all, I don't need to add anything. I think the data into the
LEGO servers will confirm my numbers.

Now you can understand why I'm disappointed. Please, LEGO, if you will make next
time a contest, try to make it seriously and not like this time.

Anyway, I will not buy any of the creations of the contest. Those people will
not get money from me!

Best regards,
Luca Giannitti

(...) I think, (and hope) they have read my (and your) post about the contest and they are doing some controls about all the entries in order to find the real number of different votes (if would be simple if they check the IP number... even if you (...) (20 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.lego)

Dear LEGO, I've followed with interest the Lego Factory Contest and I've submitted a couple of my own creations (just for fun). Today we know at the end the names of the winners and it is time to make some considerations about the whole contest. The (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.lego) !
