editor Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 This continues a series of HAIF trivia contests. The questions aren't hard because the point is to give stuff away to loyal HAIFers, and not to keep prizes away from you. There would be no point in having a contest then.Anyway, anyone who's won something from HAIF in the last 60 days can't win again so that we can spread the love. The moderators are not briefed on the questions or answers ahead of time, so don't bother asking them.Today's prize is:A Sears Tower Lego set, as seen at the Brickworld 2007 Lego-builder's convention.Today's question:What was the name of the JPMorgan Chase Tower in downtown Houston when it first opened?To win the contest, simply be the first person to reply to this message with the correct answer. You will then be contacted by PM to supply me with your mailing address so I can send you your prize. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Congratulations. That is a pretty nice give away, especially for such a huge set (so I think) If it is the Sears Tower, it has to be at least 18 to 24 inches tall I bet. A Sears Tower Lego set, as seen at the Brickworld 2007 Lego-builder's convention. Holy _ _ _ _, is this the set I am getting! That's huge? http://www.flickr.com/photos/16673999@N00/623840385/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 No. It's about five inches tall. You should take a picture of it and post it here when you get it assembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 No. It's about five inches tall. You should take a picture of it and post it here when you get it assembled.I should have it assembled really really fast then, as that is much more managable.I almost had a heart attack when I found that picture.

Pumapayam Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I got my package from Wayne today! Inside, all the Lego bricks were neatly packaged, along with instructions, and Wayne's business card. So I started building the base. Here is a close up with the Brickworld 2007 Logo. Pretty neat! Almost done; just a few more pieces! All done! And Wayne said it would only be 5 inches tall, this thing is HUGE! LOL. Thank you Wayne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1976 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 So I started building the base. Hold it right there. Did you obtain the proper permits before beginning construction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
