Very Rare indeed figure!
I just love it when I learn about a new minifigure that I have never heard mention of. It makes my day to try to learn everything about the minifigure and where any of them exist. Today was just such a day.
Today I received an email from a reader (thanks mp mikey) that suggested that my top 100 list was missing a figure. The reader pointed me to the video shown below that shows this chrome gold plated Emmet minifigure that was given as a prize in the contest in 2014. I will definitely need to add this figure to the list!

I watched the video and I was amazed. This one had completely passed me by and I had not even heard of it. I pm the author of the video and learned that he had in fact won the prize in this contest a few years back.
Lego used to have some additional information on the prize winners of the contest here. They appear to be gone now. I am not sure why people keep killing off old content on their websites? Does the storage cost too much lego? What gives?
It appears that the contest had a larger prize (A large brick built Emmet figure) and that these gold chrome Emmet Statues are the awards that were given out for being considered in the contest. But if you ask me, this was the better prize!
Here are some additional pictures that Yop Animations was nice enough to send to me so we could see his great prize. One interesting item to note is that this package appears to have three different item numbers!
The video Author (yop1172) was nominated in the Ma and Pa Cop Segment of this contest. You can see further details of this and all of the contest segments here on wikia.
