Roll up, roll up! It’s New Year’s Festivities on the forum and in place of the normal way we do the Bonusball draw, we’re going to play in a slightly different fashion so more people than the usual 59 can join in.
It’s still based on the UK National Lottery Draw, and the numbers we’ll be using will be drawn on Saturday 30th December 2017 19:30 UK GMT. Answers will need to be on the thread by this time. No answers posted after this time will be valid. Any entries after this time may be charged but not counted. Your call may be recorded for training purposes. Please press the hash key to hear the main menu options again. The judges decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. You say tomayto, I say tomarto. Blah blah blah… ;-)
So here we go for the game I’m going to call “Tats the way I like it”. Why? Because it gives me the chance to give away some of my old tat - or a potential star prize.
We’ll use the UK National Lottery draw 6 main numbers as our “answer’ and we’ll use the Bonus Ball to determine the prize. One post per person please.
To allow as many people as possible to enter, you’ll need to come up with a random number between 123456 and 535456575859. What?
Ok, so last Saturdays draw numbers in numerical order were 20-32-36-44-47-56 and the bonus ball was 41. Is this starting to make sense now? Our answer would be 203236444756 and the bonus ball 41 meant the winner would get the Ninjago Tat Pack prize (see below).Theoretically, the lowest possible number that we could make from drawing the main 6 balls numbered 1-59 is 123456 and the highest is 545556575859 so this is a bit like playing the real lottery except that a prize will be awarded to the person who gets the closest. Then the bonus ball will determine which prize I send out.
If the Bonusball is numbered 1-15 you will receive a Creator Polybag tat pack consisting of very wrinkly:-
#30283 Off Roader
#30284 Tractor
#30285 Tiger
#30472 Parrot
If the Bonusball is number 16-30 you will receive a Nexo Knight Polybag tat pack consisting of:-
#30372 Robins Mini Fortrex
#30374 Lava Slinger
#30378 Shrunken Headquarters
#5004911 Crafting Kit
If the Bonusball is number 31-45 you will receive a Ninjago Polybag tat pack consisting of:-
#30371 Skybound Plane
#30427 Ice Tank
#30428 Green Mecha Dragon
If the Bonusball is numbered 46-59 you will be sent the star prize - “Tats actually not too bad is it?"
#4000010 Lego House
Fate will decide what you win. Now what do you have to do...
First, as it’s New Year, and to keep this thread read-worthy instead of a meaningless barrage of random numbers, just tell us a little about what you’d like to do/achieve in 2018 - a bit like a New Year resolution I guess.
For me, I’m hoping to lose a bit more weight as it’s going the other way right now, and to do more photography projects as they've taken a back seat over the last year.
Second, give us a number between 123,456 and 545,556,575,859. Closest answer to the drawn main 6 lottery balls placed in numerical order wins.
Have fun...

1. Actually finish a passenger coach. I was 99% complete save for 2 pieces in the wrong colour.... then I went to I wide and started from scratch again...
2. Get fit. Partly for health reasons, partly to make myself stable and partly for display purposes.
3. Complete my college course. I'm lagging. Again...
And 862950!

My goal for 2018 is attaining the thankless job I've set on for two years...
And insulate/drywall my LEGO-area of the basement.
find room to build more.
My goal would be to get back into the gym and get in better physical condition.

Lego goal would be to finally get to a point where I am satisfied with how much of my collection is sorted and I can begin to recreate old sets and build new Mocs.

This year I got 35 three times in a row on three separate bonus balls. Hopeing it’s a sign for some luck this time around.
Getting rid of the extra ballast I seem to have acquired over the festive period.
Build some of the sets I have purchased throughout 2017 before buying anymore.
Get round to building the half dozen bricklink projects that I have the bricks for but never built.
Learn how to use my camera properly so my pictures aren't quite so crappy.
But most of all, spend more time with the boss and enjoy everything 2018 brings my way.

2. Lost about 30 pounds this year, some hopped back on for the holidays, would like to lose about 20 more this upcoming year.

1. Get my display sets finally rebuilt after a summer apartment move and then work through a backlog of sets bought just before and after the move.
2. Build at least one MOC to bring to a LUG exhibition.
Other stuff:
1. Get out more and talk to actual people.
2. Learn something new or refresh the stuff I "learned" in college.

If that doesn't make sense, I blame the lack of coffee
As for achievements- my 3rd child arriving safely sometime around the spring equinox
Bar completing a few of qualifications I’m currently studying/will be studying, make the most out of the year with the partner and little one; the years are starting to rattle by now.

1. I could probably do with losing a few pounds in weight (or growing another foot taller) but I've been this weight for the last couple of decades
2. Tidy the LEGO room up, and I mean really tidy it up. Maybe sell off some sets to fund others or break stuff down for MOCs.
3. Stick to my wanted list for the year and don't deviate.
4. On the non LEGO front I need to get my 70s VWs sorted, the Beetle is currently in for repairs after a crash earlier in the year, the Camper is in real need of rust sorting.
5. Organise something special for Mrs Speedman's 40th to rival a footplate ride on a steamtrain that she got for me.
6. Put a few more faces to forum names.
Thanks for hosting another draw.

My new year's resolution would be as strong and patient as I can be for my husband and son and bring as much joy as possible.
Lego-wise there are some MOC's and sets on the horizon I'm sure.
I'm going for
835412123437
If I keep it Lego related then it would be...
-To sort as much of the mixed lots I have
-Piece together as many sets as possible
-Sell off what's not wanted
-Buy the available modulars I don't have
-Gather all of my Monster Fighter stuff and monster themed stuff together for Halloween
The real life stuff is too much to explain here and not very jolly with the exception of having my old VW fully sorted.
