Back in July, LEGO Ideas started a building contest to build your favorite hobby and the winning build will become a gift with purchase set. There were 15 finalists and there was a fan vote held last month to choose the winner. Today LEGO has announced that winner which is Build, Paint and Play! by Doomslizer.
