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.

Our Wheels of Justice contest has reached the midway point, and today being the 15th marks the last possible day to enter the monthly contest at LEGOSuperHeroes.com to be eligible for December.

MOC Madness Sweet Sixteen Round Starts Today

FBTB MOC Madness 2011 Building Tournament Board Sweet Sixteen

I messed up. I didn’t seed the brackets correctly. Ranks 1 and 2 from the same quadrant should have met in the next round (assuming they weren’t victims of a great upset), and not this round. Oh well. Something to keep in mind for next year.

No matter, the Sweet Sixteen round starts today. Polls will be open for three days so go vote for your favorites. Good luck to all!
