The winners of the Lego Moments in Space Contest have been announced. The contest was set up so applicants could suggest a future Lego mini set that would be given out as a Free with Purchase promotion in 2019. 1065 entries started out with high hopes. The voting took ten days and reduced the pool of candidates that Lego would review to just the top 25. Lego spent another few days deciding on the grand prize and 11 Runner ups.
The Grand Prize Winner: Cosmic Coin Operated Rocket Ride – by MSmiley
The contest always stated that the winner “Might” get made into a Gift with Purchase set, no guarantee. But with today’s announcement, according to the Official Lego Ideas Twitter Feed: “His winning entry, the ‘Cosmic Rocket Ride’, will be adapted into an official Gift with Purchase set!”
So that is very exciting news!!
The Link to the official Lego announcement is here.
I know there are a lot of happy and broken hearts at the end of this contest as more than a thousand people put their hat in the ring. Lets all hope for more contests like this in the near future because there were some terrific advantages to this scaled down Lego Ideas contest!
