Vraptor140

I do wonder too when and how the winners are announced, for all we know they've already been contacted silently.

You're right that it's been quite a while since gear functions appeared in constraction sets — since 2008, in fact, which was oddly the last appearance of a gear function in a figure (Icarax) AND the last appearance of a gear function in a vehicle set. The 2009 vehicles included some functions, but none of them were gear-driven. Vehicles and mecha are a great place for gear functions because their movement doesn't have to seem especially lifelike — in fact, jerky movements are well-suited to things that are meant to seem inhuman and mechanical.

Actually gear functions on figures were back last year with the Brain Attack sets.
