A few years ago, the same thing happened in a Swedish LEGO competition. I
hated it!

I went to the Mid-South Fair in Memphis. In the arts & crafts pavillion,
they have a section where people (mostly kids) make art out of toys.
(Most of the case was Legos.) What irked me so much was that some of the
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?

(My H:Masters stuff would have moondusted all of those items if I knew
that there was such a category.)
