I want to say a big thanks to everyone who participated in Winter Bash this year! We had a total of 170 users earn 367 hats!

We added 200 new users to our community this December, more than in any month since the initial spike when we entered public beta in 2011. We also had more new visits and total page views than we've ever had. Thank you to each of you for keeping the site tidy, active, and welcoming for all of the folks that were interacting with our community for the first time.

Now for the contest results:

We had a tie for most hats between @NeverForget and @AlexanderO'Mara. They've agreed to split the grand prize rather than flipping a coin for it, so they'll each get a set of their choosing up to a 100 EUR value. Congrats to both of our winners!

The following 32 users earned at least 3 hats:

Alexander O'Mara (22 hats)
Never Forget (22 hats)
zovits supports GoFundMonica (18 hats)
Rin Rio-Oki (12 hats)
Phil B. (9 hats)

Congrats to our winners! Each of you will receive a Ginger Bread House:

Winners should email me at my SE username at gmail with shipping information and prize selections. I will be reaching out via other means in the next few days if I don't hear anything from the winners.

Thanks everyone!

    Wow, that's amazing! I just got back into LEGO (after about 20 years) a few months ago and the Gingerbread House seems really nice, I'm super happy!

  • I know it can take a while, but should I be concerned that I have not yet received it?

  • @AlexanderO'Mara I'm sorry to hear that this hasn't arrived. The lead times are very long after the holidays as you know. There may also be an impact from Coronavirus at this point due to shipping and supply chain delays. The Billund warehouse is closed for at least the next two weeks for example. I've asked for an update from TLG, but I'm not anticipating a quick response with everything else going on.
