Actually, a blue, black, and gray castle w/various themed figures won the blue
ribbon. Moreover, how could they not know. COMMERCIALS FOR THE STAR WARS
(Classic) COLLECTION AND THE ROCK RAIDERS COLLECTION HAVE BEEN RUNNING ON TV
FOR THE PAST WEEK! ARTS & CRAFTS JUDGING IS USUALLY ON THE SECOND FRIDAY OF THE
FAIR (2 days ago).
Next year, I'd like to see real AFOLs (like myself) or ingenuitive kids come
out there with original ideas and lambast anyone who thinks of putting a
factory-made set up for display. After that, they should beat "TLG's agents"
fair-and-square.
