Handtruck Challenge: Winners Announced

The Handtruck Building Challenge '09 is over! I've posted the Judge's comments (where applicable) to the Entry Grid and posted the all new Winner's Grid page. (There were four judges: Myself, Nathan, and the infamous Players A and B.)

For those of you wondering what the "special prize pack" was for the builder who used the most handtrucks....it's a Baggie of Handtrucks! Because, obviously, that builder knows how to make use of them, and I sure don't need a huge pile of them.

The winners have email waiting for them on how to claim their prizes.

Thanks to everyone who played! Details for our next (BIG!) contest are being finalized now...look for details very soon!

Handtruck Challenge: Judging has begun!

The Handtruck Building Challenge '09 is over! I've posted the final batch of contestants to the Entry Grid.

We had a grand total of 36 models submitted - and now it's up to our judges to pick out the cream of the crop. Look for an announcement on that soon - along with news of our next big contest, which should also be starting soon!

Thanks to all who participated in this goofy little challenge.

Handtruck Challenge Ends Today!

This is it, gang! The Handtruck Building Challenge '09 ends today! I've posted the latest batch of contestants to the Entry Grid, but you have a few more hours to get your own builds in.

For a goofy little idea, this contest sure has spawned some impressive creations. We'll have to do some more "odd piece challenges" in the future.

Handtruck Challenge: Final Days!

The Handtruck Building Challenge '09 is nearly over! I've posted three more entires to the Entry Grid, bringing the total to 24 MOCs at this point.

Remember, the deadline for entries is Friday the 13th! If you've been putting off finishing that build, best get to it! And don't wait until the last moment to send, either - I'd hate to see anyone disqualified for missing the deadline, y'know?

Handtruck Challenge: Entry Grid Update

The Handtruck Building Challenge '09 is in that slow stretch between the early builders and those who are waiting to surprise everyone in the last couple of days. Still, we had two more amazing entries - go check them out on the Entry Grid!

Handtruck Challenge: Entry Grid Update

The Handtruck Building Challenge '09 scores another batch of great entries. Go take a look at the Entry Grid!

Remember, you have until 3-13 to get your entries submitted, but act now before all the cool ideas are gone!

Handtruck Challenge: Entry Grid Updated

The Handtruck Building Challenge '09 continues apace - This weekend's submissions are now a part of the Entry Grid.

There are some really clever ideas showing up - I'm quite impressed with what you guys have managed so far!

Just a reminder, though, that entries need to have at least some MOC element to them. Setting up a display of LEGO-stock models and adding a handcart to the scene doesn't qualify. At the very least customize a mini-figure or (better yet) BUILD SOMETHING.

Handtruck Challenge: Entry Grid Updated

The Handtruck Building Challenge '09 continues apace - I received another bath of entries last night, so I've updated the Entry Grid.

Today's update shows why you might not want to wait until the last moment to unveil your clever idea - Entries 6 and 7 arrived within an hour of each other, with decidedly similar themes! I wonder who else is in the midst of a build on a "handtruck race" theme...

Handtruck Challenge: Entry Grid Updated

We've received a few entries to kick off the Handtruck Building Challenge '09...reason enough to set up the Entry Grid.

So far it's a tie for "most handtrucks used" at a staggering "one." I know you guys can do better than that - heck, I managed three in my One-Ringer hanger bay set.

On the "Most Creative" and "Most Nifty" fronts there's a bit more of a challenge brewing...for example, check out this great Deckchair by David Pickett!

So what are you waiting for? Time to put your handtrucks to good use! Go build something!
