[Winners] February 2011 Top LEGO Set Reviewer

Post by Toys N Bricks » Wed Mar 02, 2011 10:26 pm

Update: I decided to add another prize because I felt that Luciant put a lot of effort in this contest. So this means that for our Top LEGO Set Reviewer contest, the winners are hatcher and Luciant. Congrats!

It was hard to evaluate the reviews especially between forum member hatcher and Luciant as both of them worked hard on them. But our staff managed to finalize the winner for the Top LEGO Set Reviewer.

And the winner is forum member hatcher! Thanks to everyone who participated in this contest. We had a great time reading all these reviews.

Both hatcher and Luciant should be awarded for their effort. They deserved for the prize.

Is there any kind of explanation as to why he won over me?...

Sorry if I sound like a poor loser, but I'm kind of shocked by the decision to be frank and honest.

If need be, I can explain why, but I would rather have the reasoning behind your decision...
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

I'm going to break the rules with the prize. I have decided that Luciant will get a full prize as well because I know he worked very hard at this and he even had to reupload some of the pictures because of the server breakdown a few weeks ago.

So instead of just offering 1 grand prize, we're now offering 2 grand prizes.

hatcher (V-wing) and Luciant (Battle of Naboo), please send me a PM with your full name and address.

Congrats to the two of you!

Ice,

Thank you for the quick PM, and the explanation you gave me. Alleviated some of my concerns, and I apologize for post, obviously I was a little emotional over the decision :mrgreen:

Hatcher, I apologize for not congratulating you from the start....you had some great reviews. (I can't believe you beat me to posting the ARC-170... such a great set to review!) I was gonna bust out the Death Star on you, but that is a Wife-and-I project I couldn't violate, and we didn't have time to even start on it... next time good sir... next time.

I wasn't able to finish uploading all of the Atlantis sets I took pictures of =) I decided to go from the least pictures to most, so I still have Portal, HQ, etc. to put up when i make some time =)

Still would love any feedback on them :)

Wow.

I have no words.

Well, that's not true. :) First thank you very much. I can't believe I won.

Luciant, I honestly thought you were going to take it after that rash of last minute reviews. Your reviews were great, and I am very happy to hear that you are getting a price as well. As for next time, I still have some sets in reserve just waiting for the next reviews contest, including some rather large ones of my own (sadly I don't own the Death Star, so I will be very interested in seeing your review of that one.)

For everyone else who posted reviews, you deserve some props as well, posting a review takes a lot of effort, so even if you weren't one of the winners, you performed a valuable service to the other members of this board, myself included, so thank you.

Well, at least now that contest if over, I won't keep the wife up each night as I burn the midnight oil building and posting like a mad fool.

Thanks for a great contest, and Ice, I'll get that PM sent ASAP.

Congratulations to both of you and I am happy that both of you are getting prizes. I hope that both of you upload reviews of those star wars sets once you get them. :lol:

I was wondering who won for awhile and finally found this post. Congrats to Luciant and Hatcher for busting out so many reviews. I know it's alot of work and we really appreciate the reviews.
