What a pleasant surprise! I was hugely inspired by last year's challenge and it helped me get to a lot of projects that had been on
my to-build list for years 
It was also terrific seeing so many other wonderful tributes to past themes. Congratulations everyone!
I had somehow missed this till voting in the annual challenge. Very glad to have found it eventually!
Your version feels like a piece of sci-fi concept art in the best possible way. Love the giant inside out balloon tires and how you kept the play features of the original. Definitely one of my favorite builds from the whole annual challenge 
Was busy traveling, and catching up with family over the holidays so didn't manage to respond here earlier.
Several more beautiful baubles to admire 
And so fun to see enough baubles for the calendar to run past Christmas!
What a treat to discover your Tallneck bauble, HawaiiToad
I love it!
So many amazing baubles this last week
Vaionaut That angel design is beautiful. Such elegant shaping and perfect use of drum lacquered gold elements.
Legopard Astonishing level of detail for the size. Love the 1x1 round plate rims!

It's always fun to see MOCs shrunk down to micro scale, and you did a great job capturing the Final Showdown

Brilliant chicken build, so much expression packed in
Built for the Return of the G.O.A.T. contest on classic-castle which paired nicely with the Annual Challenge here. I chose to re-imagine set 6078 and had fun putting my own twist on the recognizable structure. My rendition features ladders or stairs to reach every area of the gatehouse, along with a functional drawbridge. The two hidden spaces under ramps at front and back are also there, though I added some barred gates under the front ramp so minifigures have access to that storage area. The rear one contains a hidden nook where some unfortunate soul seems to have been on the wrong end of a magical scroll.
Special thanks to Rolli for loaning me the original minifigures!
Additional photos and a functions video available on Brickbuilt
Several beautiful new baubles these past days!
Love the theme mashup from banthabrick
and the clever use of a wand for the tree's star
Super micro rendition of Steentje's mine from Rauy
And what an impressive Robo-Guardian Sylon
created!
Great color blocking and details despite the limited space 
Excellent work Isaac_S
Glad to hear it made its journey successfully!
And what a beautiful micro castle revealed today!
Always such a joy seeing a new build and poem each day in December
Very strong models to start us off this year!
Beautiful rendition of the Barracuda. Super distinct and well detailed even at the small scale.
I especially like your figurehead design and cannons.
There were many, many sets I longed for growing up. Most I never got, as LEGO sets were usually reserved for birthdays and Christmas gifts, and only small sets even then. Lines like Adventurers, Dino Attack, Alpha Team, and Exo Force provided plenty of things to dream about 
Impressive Exo-Force revamp! Great use of curved tiles to simulate the stickered patterns of the original and the rear turbine looks fantastic.
Lovely forestmen hideout! I like how the tree naturally grows out from the wall on one side of the structure, while a vine climbs up the other side.
Plenty of neat details to spot too! The mushrooms and cluster of pine trees with target are my favorites
Glad to see some classic city love! Lovely update to a very recognizable vehicle. Excellent functionality and aesthetic
I also enjoyed seeing the different street sweeper sets from the past and how they influenced your build.
Gorgeous food replicas. Just looking at them sparks my appetite
The different layers and elegant frosting on the cake are exceptional, and the grapes add a great extra touch of convincing realism
My latest contribution,
Dino Attack: Buggy vs Raptor
Here is another small build for the Annual Challenge . This time I tried my hand at revamping set 7474 from the memorable Dino Attack line. It is also a donation to Creations for Charity . I've listed my Suros Bolt starfighter as well, so check out the shop if you are interested in either.
I'm very happy with the buggy and loved building in the Dino Attack style. It's another theme I admired as a kid without ever getting any sets.
More images can be seen on Brickbuilt .
Thanks for looking
This time of the year comes so quickly 
Signed up!
A quick little model inspired by the “pi-RATS & BUG-aneers” contest on Bricknerd and annual challenge here.. I was looking through Bricklink at old Pirates sets for inspiration and came across 1713 Shipwrecked Pirate, which my mind immediately translated to Shipwrecked Parrot. So I built a version of that, and threw in a reimagined 6259 Broadside’s Brig for good measure!
