Congratulations to all the winners! I have to admit, I'm kinda jealous!

So... any European winners yet?

Call me crazy, but as tempting as it will be to sell/trade it, or even keep it sealed for eternity... I'm definitely going to be opening it, will enjoy building it, and proudly display it. :smiley:

I was waiting for the part where you were going to say "and sharing the instructions with fellow Brickset members." :smile:

Either way, a hearty congratulations!

Thanks :)

I most definitely will be willing to share the instructions, don't worry about that lol.

The email requires the winners to respond and confirm that they have abided by the Official Rules of the contest.. You are only a "provisional winner" until you follow their instructions. 

So, presumably, none of the batpods have been shipped yet. Probably be a week or more before people have them in hand. My email made mention of allowing 8 weeks.. which I hope is a VERY conservative estimate on LEGO's part lol. 

GallardoLU

from my old LU days we had to provide a reply within a certain number of days, and then it would be about 2-3 weeks before prizes would arrive. you may receive a notice via email saying your order has shipped. it will look like a normal order but with a prize you cant but :) (seems I didn't win one either, which is ok considering how much I was able to win via LU)

Rpennock

Yeah potential winners have until August 15th to reply to LEGO in order to claim their prize. 

And you're right, the email did say they will provide tracking when they ship it. I'm not really all that worried about it lol. I'm expecting 2 -3 weeks until it arrives.. the 8 week thing in the email was in the context of "if your Bat-Podhasn't arrived within 8 weeks of this email, please contact us"

I wonder if THE BRICK SHOW will get their hands on one! I expect the Brickset winners to start a new thread dedicated entirely to an advanced review and a photo of every build instruction for us that failed to win! :smile: 
My tumbler will be forever lonely

@GallardoLU  What's LU?

@obi_g Wheels and Tires are available to buy from [email protected] Brick and Pieces.

Really? They're not available on the UK [email protected] site when I checked this morning... :(

LU = Lego Universe, was a short lived MMO. had racing, survival mode fighting (non-pvp) a decent story, and personal properties with free building that could be publicly shared for others to visit and play in (could fully script interactions with players) I loved the game as did many others, Lego though shut it down after a year and 3 months sadly. (oct 2010 -jan 2012)

Add me to the list that will trade a hellicarrier for a Bat-Pod.   I'm in FL USA

MugenPower

Let's hope this was some sort of market research for Lego to gauge interest in this set so they could release it for sale down the line for the rest of us who didn't win...

Drmnez

Just remember I was the first one to offer the helicarrier for batpod trade

Yes - try to work a trade out with @Drmnez first!

I'll reserve an opinion on that, unless I can get one!

I'm hoping the 'dibs' system doesn't break down in the forum...

Where do all the winners reside?  Looks like 2 in California and where else?

Mandalorian_Builder

To the winners: I'm curious, how many entrees did you submit? 

Russell844

31. Bought a Batgirl keychain and an email entry once per day.

SithLord196

I may resort to Bricklink and Bricks & Pieces if the market value for the set ends up at $350.

Sethro3

It would appear I didn't win one either..doesn't surprise me. As lucky as I am in life, I don't win too many contests.

Hopefully the instructions will be easily viewed and the pieces won't be horrendous to purchase.

New Brunswick, Canada (located north east of Maine).

Thanks for posting locations!  Kinda neat to see how it was spread about.   And the posting of the times entered is cool too!

steveomcl

I cant wait to get brick linking this set! even if there is a rare colour as long as I can make it I am happy! I already have a set of tyres and wheels at the ready! 

JBricks27

Are the emails being sent out individually or was it a mass email? Do I still have a chance of winning :/

willkfwong

I also received a provisional winner email. So excited :)

Mine was addressed to "Undisclosed recipients:" So I'm not really sure. 

It was specific for Canadian winners however.. For example, I had to answer a mathematical skill testing question as part of the requirements to receive the prize (it's for a weird Canadian law.. sweepstake prizes have to be given for games of skill, not chance). Pretty sure Americans don't have that same requirements.  

Gooker1

Any other winners not in CA and Canada?

SithLord196

Not going to lie, I'm pretty disappointed I didn't win one.

Admittedly I played right into Lego's hands, as I would have waited to buy a Tumbler without this contest, but meh, it is what it is.

Congrats to all that have won one.

Vance2

Congrats to all the winners. Out of curiosity, did the winners get their e-mails yesterday or have some received them in their inboxes today?

Some of us are still holding onto hope...

Draug

I won also! I got the email yesterday evening, about 19 hours ago. I responded to the email about 12 hours ago. 

I'm from Calgary, Alberta,  so there's another Canada winner. I'm unsure what I'll do yet; likely keep it sealed like most of my expensive sets... which from a removed perspective, maybe is silly. :)

Gooker1

Cannucks and Californians eh?

quiddity

I won one also...from Oregon...and it's a shame I bought a Hellicarrier...I totally would have traded.  Oh well...

samiam391

Anyone else starting to feel like they are the only one on Brickset who didn't win?

Gooker1

return it and take one via trade. rofl

quiddity

I'll admit... Once I get the bat-pod I'll be tempted to buy the Tumbler....

Final_Sign

Grats to the winners!  I'm pretty sure my email is broken and that's why I haven't gotten my email yet . . .

danstraindepot

I was tempted to one up the offer with the hellicarrier but I did not think that would be good form to the fellows that came up with the idea  :)

gezuvor

I am pretty sure that all the recipients were emailed at once. Would be interesting to know how many applicants were received...

Mandalorian_Builder said:

I had an alert that reminded me to send an email every morning, but would forget sometimes. Probably 20+ times ?

quiddity said:

from Oregon...

Same for me, in NW Portland.

eggshen

So the only US winners have been from the west coast?

gezuvor

x2

royv

Winner here in Cali as well. To the other winners who read the attached terms and conditions, it mentioned something about filling out a 'prize acceptance form', any ideas if that's necessary?

ToyHero

Just joined the thread... Too late to win? 

Gooker1

Lol

ARo2891

On Facebook I saw that some guy received emails this morning so maybe that's hope that they're doing it in batches?  Or maybe this kid just has a shitty email but I prefer to believe the former.  The contest rules did say they would have contacted all winners by the 7th so that still leaves a day-ish right?  I'm absolutely trying to convince myself of this at this point...I've never cared more about a sweepstakes in my life lol

Vindic8ed

Yay!  I just got an email, so here's one for Texas.  "may take up to 8 weeks" to get though. @royv from what the email said, you just reply with that confirmation paragraph saying that you were eligible to participate, they may have you fill something else out later on once you've confirmed you are a winner?

Farmer_John

In this case, I would be happy just getting the instructions. There is almost zero chance of winning, but on the positive side there doesn't appear to be any special pieces included in this set either. So the only thing the winners will get is an official box and instructions. Yes...there are those willing to pay through the nose for sealed sets, but I will be happy having the exact same set for a fraction of the aftermarket price.

Either way, life will go on...
