Announcing The 2012 Podracer Challenge Contest

2012 Podracer Challenge

The time has come for the years first contest on FBTB, and we’re going to jump right in with a reoccurring favorite: Podracers! We’ve bumped the build phase to February so everyone has the chance to send their entry in for a group display at LegoLand’s Star Wars Days event occurring at the end March. (Optional of course, and details on that will be posted later.)

The theme of this year is Collectible Minifigures. You are to select one minifigure from the six available waves as your pilot and build a themed pod that fits the character. With 96 different figures to chose from and plenty of directions to take with each, we hope to see some fantastic and creative entries.

Good luck to everyone!

PCHLUG 101 Challenge – “Podracing!”

PCH_101_podracing
The boys over at The Pacific Coast Highway LEGO User Group are running a new contest with their trademark twist: in 101 parts or less, build a podracer. Prizes will be awarded for three categories: funny, faithful, and fanciful. Head on over to check out the full rules. It’s open to anyone, not just PCHLUG members, and the prizes on the line are the new mini pod sets. Contest is open all February… the same time frame as our own Podracer contest by no coincidence.

A Totally Different Kind Of Batmobile

Batmobile: 2025!

Lino Martins is never afraid to push the envelope. For the latest LUGNuts challenge, Batmobile: 2025, his contribution is like no other Batmobile I’ve ever seen. Conceived as a COE, steeped in retro art deco, armored to the gills and badass front to back. I can just imagine what this would sound like roaring down the streets of Gotham.

Proudlove’s Batmobile

When Flickr group LUGNuts announced its Build Challenge 51 – Batmobile: 2025, I knew we were in for a treat. As is usual the big guns are always late to the party, but they rarely disappoint. Nathan Proudlove recently contributed this pretty cool Batmobile. Be sure to check out Nathan’s photostream for more pics, including the lighting features.

CMF_TraluCMF_DangeJessir[speeder bike]

The 3rd Annual LEGO Speeder Bike Contest over on Flickr has reached the midway point, but there’s still plenty of time to get your entries into one of the three great categories. Cole Blaq himself has been busy building a quartet of new bikes which simultaneously help to promote the contest and allow him to flex his creative muscles.

Wheels of Justice Polls Now Open

Announcing The Wheels of Justice Contest

Apologies for the delay, the December bus is running over me, backing up, and then over me again. But, I got the polls up for our Wheels of Justice contest. There are two polls for you to vote in, one for an original Batmobile design, and one for a GreenLanternMobile. To be completely honest, the turnout for this contest was waaaay better than I anticipated. And I am completely blown away by the quality of some of the entries. So much so that we will be having a few more Super Heroes-themed contests in the new year, so stay tuned, True Believers. Until then, head on over to our Contests forum and cast your votes. You only have five days to do it.

MOC Madness 2011 Winners!

MOC Madness 2011

The MOC Madness 2011 tournament has come to a close and the winners have finally been determined. Before we announce the winners, I’d like to thank everyone who participated and submitted an entry. It was a real pleasure seeing the entries rolling in. We try to format the bounty hunter tournament to be as open ended as possible and the submissions did not disappoint. There was a wide range of styles and designs, and the winning entries reflect that range. So, without further ado, I present the winners.

Cole Blaq’s Lego Speeder Bike Contest

Contest Announcement LSB 2011

You may or may not be aware of who Cole Blaq is (and if you aren’t where the heck have YOU been?). Besides being one of the more talented builders on my contacts list and 2010′s MOC Madness winner, he is also host to the annual LEGO Speeder Bike contest held on flickr. This year, there are three categories to enter, with each category’s top prize being a specially designed, one-of-a-kind speeder bike. This year, FBTB is throwing support behind the Vignette category to sweeten the first place prize: a copy of 8092 Luke’s Landspeeder, ’cause sometimes you wanna bring your friends with you. The deadline is 01.01.2012 24:00 MET time. Check out the flickr group post for the full set of rules.

Plan on entering? If so, I invite you to post your entry in our MOC Showcase forum.
