Some people are taking the above a little more literally than I'd intended.

I hadn't intended on encouraging hoax-style designs where people fake up
catalog scans or instruction scans complete with realistic-looking set
numbers -- although I'm certainly not opposed to this so long as:

* You document in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS (via some kind of disclaimer) on your
  entry that it is NOT A REAL SET; and

* You don't intentionally or accidentally mislead anyone into thinking it
  was a real set -- for even if you think the distinction is obvious from
  the context or the image quality, it may not be obvious to everyone; and

* You don't falsely claim that LEGO owns the copyright on your image to make
  it look more "real."

That said, I think the entries so far are absolutely outstanding, and they've
already begun to exceed my wildest expectations.  I can't wait to see what
lies in store for the next 4 weeks!

It's seeming more and more like the LEGO Space System product line (originally LEGOLAND Space, followed (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space, lugnet.announce) !!
