Classic-Town.net is proud to announce the winners of the Sidelines Scenes Contest.  As there were eight entries to the contest that were all excellent, three virtual EB medals are being awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.   

The first place winner of the contest is… (drum roll please)… Dennimator with 10 out of 42 votes.  The second place winner is Guss with 9 votes.  And the third place winner with 8 votes is EB member Eti.  What a fantastic set of sideline scenes!  All of the participants of this contest deserve a big round of applause! 

Thank you all participating and/or following the ”almost live” coverage of Snow Box Derby 2008.  I hope you have enjoyed the contest and I hope to see you again next year on the slopes.  If you wish to congratulate the winners and/or discuss the contest, you may do so here.

At the base of the slope, 16 contestants and their snow boxes pass the finish line.  One favorite EB Admin unfortunately stepped on some thin ice watching from the sidelines.  Luckily, he was quickly pulled out by some of the other fans.

After a very close race with outstanding snow boxes, Eurobricks’ members voted for their favorite snow box entry and their favorite team.  With exclusive Snow Box Derby 2008 coverage, Classic.Town-net is proud to announce the winners of this year’s event:

The first place winner, winning 13 gold medals is EB Champion, Mr. Mandalorian with his entry, Basilisk Snow Droid.  The second place winner, winning 8 silver medals is Sir Nadroj with his creative entry, TheEconomy.  And the third place winner taking 7 bronze medals is Sir Dillon with his snow box, Spike.  While all of these individuals deserve a round of applause, let us not forget those that did not take home a metal today, but gave the Snow Box Derby their all by building fantastic snow boxes. 

Winning by just one vote over the Pirate Team, Team America is our winning team taking home 18 medals.  It is a proud day for Sir Nadroj and Erdbeereis1, and all of the winners of this exciting Eurobricks Winter Event.  Thank you all for participating and we look forward to next years event.

NOTE: The winner of the Sideline Scenes Contest will be announced tomorrow.  I hope you’ve all enjoyed the contest.  You can also congratulate the winners and discuss the contest HERE.

Late Breaking News from Classic.Town.net! It appears that one member of the French Team has in fact entered the race at this late hour. Proudly flying the “Tricolor”, the Snow Box is being lifted toward the EB snow hill by Jipay and his crew of scurvy pirates. The sound of the French National Anthem (La Marseillaise) can be heard from the distance as Jipay sees visions of the Arc De Triophe and Tour Eiffel in his head.

It is a proud moment for the French, but will this late start cost them the race?

There’s been eight outstanding entries in the Sideline Scenes contest.  Which scene do you like the best?  Vote for your favorite HERE.

As we’ve anxiously been wating to see all the Snow Box Derby entries, the contest now has 16 final contestants in a race to see which Fellow or Staff Member and Team will be taking home a Snow Box Derby 2008 trophy.  All EB members may now vote for their favorite Snow Box and Team HERE.

Eurobricks Citizen Dennimator is on the loose!  It appears that this rogue member has tried to thwart the Snow Box Derby by putting on his black hooded robe and building a destructive Snow Box in “Dr. Doom fashion”.  As his first quest for world domination, he’s even tried to use three other EB members as skiis!  Yes, Dr. D. Dennimator is spreading chaos on the EB Slopes as other contestants veer off into the sidelines.  Just look at Hinckley as he runs over our favorite Walrus, Sinner, in wacky antics.  Will no one try to take Dennimator Down on Snowy Hill?

Meanwhile, another of EB’s rogue members, Majek, successfully stole the plans to ImperialShadows’ “Ye Olde Dirty Oar” Snow Box.  Despite a few pages being wet from the snow, he created a modified sailing Snow Box, the Snow Crusher, and I must say, “It’s Fast”!

Just a few more days before the Grand Finale!  Who will win Snow Box Derby 2008?  Which fan will build the best Sideline Scenes entry?  Make sure you continue to check out Classic-Town.net for the latest!

Late Breaking news from Classic-Town.net!  It appears that the Empire has launched their offensive against the Rebellion.  Mr. Mandalorian and LuxorV are attacking TheBrickster’s Snow Steamer as this story appears.  Will TheBrickster’s alliance with the Rebellion save him from this mechanistic onslaught, or will the Empire’s desire to rule the Snowbox Derby prevail?  Stay tuned for more exciting news…

With just three days left until the end of EBs’ winter games, our favorite Fellows and Staff desperately attempt to gain popularity along the sidelines.  The American Team (Sir Nadroj and Erdbeereis1) seem to be loosing some favor among the fans, as Mr. Mandalorian’s and TheBrickster’s Snow Boxes have gained momentum.  Just looking along the sidelines, you can find many fans holding up posters of their favorite team.

There’s the Men In Black, Batbrick and TheBrickster, looking sharp pictured with MIB suits:

There’s the “old stars and stripes” with the American team pictured:

Fans are really going crazy along the sidelines as they display these bright-colored posters.

What is this sailing in now?  It appears to be a Pirate Ship?  Folks, here comes ImperialShadows with his entry, “Ye Olde Dirty Oar”.  Many of the male fans can’t seem to keep their eyes off ‘er (and the Snow Box looks pretty good too).  It looks like the Olde Dirty Oar is armed with an old Spanish cannon, which should be a formidable weapon against the onslaught of the Snow Mechs.  This will definately be a close contest with all of these fantastic entries.

Let’s see what other terrific Snow Boxes will be enterd in the last few days of Snow Box Derby 2008!
