The contest is over tonight at midnight. The winners havent been announced yet, as someone might squeeze in an entry a minute before the contest ends. Is this mini-modding? Just curious. Good luck to everyone who entered.

Like me! I just finished and sent mine in. It took me so long to come up with a good conclusion.
Badger, could you confirm that you received my entry in time? EDIT: Thanks!

The time period for submitting entries to the Spy Contest has elapsed. Due to the overwhelming number of entries received, it may take some time before winners are posted, but rest assured as soon as the results are finalized, they will be posted.

Thanks to everyone for making the Spy Fig Contest the biggest yet in these forums!

Even if the winners aren't announced, could it be ok if you posted a topic with all of the recieved entries?

I just hope the contest entries are announced soon. I want to see how badly I lost.

C'mon, let's keep some optimism here. I'm looking forward to seeing everybodies entries showcased.

To a moderator:
Will our dossiers be on the results thread when it is made?

Will the winners be announced by this weekend, or is week a more reasonable estimate?

Results will be posted as soon as they're available. Keep in mind all of the judges have busy lives outside of these forums, but we will work to have the results posted as soon as is possible.

I'm beginning to get anxious. Sorry, I just can't help it! I keep alternating between periods where I think, hey, my figs not half bad, I just might have a shot at this! and reality, usually accompanied by me banging my head into a wall.

I really want to see my spy and how good I did. Not that I think I won but man the limited legos I had made this very difficult. But I had ALOT of fun. Thanks for the contest. : )

Badger, is that the Carbine from A man of U.N.C.L.E. or something along those lines?

And, will there only be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd or will there be a top ten or something when it comes to rankings?

I have already gotten pictures for my spy, but my dad is on fire strike team up in Chico, so I am hoping that the contest will not end before he gets home.

That's Dumb. That's, that's just dumb.

I can't wait to see how I did! I hope the winners are announced soon.

I'm looking to make a Halo shotgun and sniper rifle. If you have any suggestions, could you PM them to me? Thanks.

You guys definitely have to appreciate how time-consuming it is to judge almost 80 entries for a contest like this. We've gotta read all the bios you guys wrote, check out the pictures, and give careful consideration to what we think your presentation 'earned.'

Of course, that's assuming you want us to really think about it, and not just glance at a picture and throw out a random judgement. Nah, we wouldn't do that.

And because I love you guys so much, I went ahead and stayed up later than I should so I could complete my end of the judging process, which should bring us near to revealing a winner. That's right, I need to be awake and getting ready for work in.. about 6 hours. But instead I'm just finishing judging your entries. Gotta appreciate that kind of dedication.


Great work guys. There were some real gems in there and I enjoyed going through it all. Make sure to throw a BIG thank you to Badger for putting this contest together, and of course to Will for providing the incentives for you all to join in.

Well thank you Damien! That is dedication.

And your right, we should thank Badger for putting it all together, and Will for making them AWESOME prototypes. Thank you both!

With that many entries, I think it would be nice if you made, say, 10-15 "honorable mentions" of the ones you thought were really cool beside the three winners.
And thanks to all the mods for making this possible! Out of all the forums I've been on, this one is the best simply because how great the mods are. Thank you!
