HYPOTHETICAL CONTEST POLL QUESTION???

[Ed Mack]

If a LEGO website was going to run a contest, what should the TOP prize be?

[stephen_rockefeller]

I need to find this website you speak of ;)

[abri123]

Does the way you've written 'a Lego website' mean yours? Am hoping any prize wouldn't just be for US residents only though.

[Fcbarcelona101]

Assuming such a great site existed, I believe the gift certificate would be the best choice, giving people the ability to decide anything they want. Having said that any of the sets would be an AMAZING prize anyway, especially for those of us who have a hard time deciding which set to build next.

I voted for the B-Wing, just because I don't have one, and would want one since it would be a good investment and looks great as a display. I also agree with Fcbarcelona101, but I would say do a giftcard for only LEGO Shop at Home because the point of the prize probably is to have a LEGO oriented prize, so I wouldn't want the winner to be spending the $200 on for example, shoes for his mother, nothing against doing that, though!

I'd do the $200 gift card because then anybody who gets it can get whatever they want.

Good point! BTW, my brothers buy their own shoes.

From an Investor's stand point. If you sit on $200 it wont be going anywhere, anytime fast. It will move at the rate of a rock. However, some of the other options (all of the rest) if you sit on it for about a year, you will most likely get more. Do you want instant satisfaction or long term satisfaction ?

Who wouldn't want a Haunted House? Or another Haunted house? Voucher is a ok as well, but hard for those outside US to get max value from. I look forward to finding a website with such a comp :)

I think that Ed is thinking that people may want different sets, besides the ones offered like sets more in the $50 range instead. Just gives people a few more options...

Good point.

BTW, my brothers buy their own shoes.Lol, I do too...er, at least my parents give me money then I buy my shoes myself!My parents used to do that but then when I started making money they made me buy my own. But lets look at the bright side, I can buy shoes I like and that might be a little on the expensive side! :)

I said $200 gift certificate, that way the winner could chose to spend his/her money on whatever Lego items they wanted, since not everyone is a Star Wars or City theme fan, etc. Second best choice in my opinion would be a Haunted House, I have never heard of someone not liking the HH, it's one of the most iconic Lego sets of all time.

[Huskers1236]

I agree with most others, the gift certificate gives a nice freedom to find something that especially piques your interest.

[stephen_rockefeller]

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the sets..........if you don't want one or mutiples of the above sets in your brickfolio I would be hard pressed to call you an investor.

[Damnation666]

I think the top prize should be a Lego set. If you give people $200, they might spend it on underwear. Get my point. Maybe they can tell Jeff and Ed what sets they want for $200 or less and they can order them through Amazon to make sure Lego sets were bought.

agreed......if it was a GC I would make a S@H one.

[emes]

The gift certificate is much easier for the hypothetical site to ship/transfer to the winner...

[TheDarkness]

It's all about Lego. Haunted House

[kerrmando]

They are all great prizes but I'd go with Town Hall or Gift Card personally

[Rich B]

agreed......if it was a GC I would make a LEGO Shop at Home one.

Yep it'd have to be a shop at home GC for sure! We can't be having Lego contests for underwear lol

[Grolim]

Just a little example of what $200 gets you at shop.lego.com 10228 Haunted House is $180, cool. But switch regions to my country, and that same set will cost $240, plus $64 shipping. That's why a set is so much better and even for all players. Even if I had a $300 voucher I'd feel sour about spending that at shop.lego.com when the price is so inflated for non US customers.

[sadowsk1]

I would say gift cards. The cost of shipping any item could be added to the balance of the card and make things a lot easier for a person to get what they want. In the end though, who can be picky about getting any Lego or Lego related item for free?
