I swear the run up to the holidays drains my bank account every year… and we haven’t even hit Black Friday or Cyber Monday yet.
The first round of bracket play is over and half the field is left, ready to go head to head once again. Sign in to the forum and go here to vote in the next round of polls right now. You have three days to pick your favorites. The next update will be Wednesday night. Good luck everyone!
I don’t know if the story on these guys is cutesy parallel dimension or horrifically hilarious toxic mutations, but either way I’d like to see more. If they end up giving me nightmares it’s my own fault anyway.
The time has come to start the bracket play portion of our Mech Madness tournament! Above you can see the full setup, Heroes on the left and Villains on the right. Forum members should step right this way and vote in each of the head to head polls. Each round will knock out half the field so every vote counts. These polls will be open for three days then the bracket will be updated and the next round will go up on Saturday. Good luck everyone!
The UK’s Sun Newspaper exclusive 30161 MINI Batmobile is now available in the US at Target stores in their seasonal section sold as a stocking stuffer. Price is $3.99 for 45 parts.
Thanks to ninnymuggins for the heads up.
The entries are in and the first round of voting has commenced. You have one week to pick the top 16 for both groups who will then be seeded into our tournament bracket. Click here to choose your Heroes, and here to choose your Villains. You get five choices per poll this round and they can not be changed, so make your choices wisely.
As of this moment you have exactly 24 hours remaining to submit your Mech Madness 2012: Secret Crisis contest entry. You’ve all had two full months to build and from the looks of the robots posted so far that time has been put to good use. I’m expecting some last minute surprises like we usually get with our contests, but even if we locked it down right now we’d have an extremely impressive group to judge. Last week we revealed the full prize packs so hopefully that motivated any procrastinators.
It’s now or never. Head to the forum to join the fray, and make sure to give the rules one last read through while you’re at it – because if you try to jump in at the last minute and happen to miss a detail you probably won’t have time to fix it. Nothing worse than spending all that time building only to miss out on a technicality right?
The clock is winding down and the entries are starting to pour in for Mech Madness 2012: Secret Crisis. Since the last reminder a week ago the field has more than doubled, as expected, and I’m sure there are more builders biding their time. Looking forward to all the last minute entries this coming week. Meanwhile, I have some exciting news for all the contestants: the supplementary prize packs are now declassified. In addition to the gift cards already announced Ace has lined up quite the haul for the victors. Here’s the full breakdown with shots of the loot he forwarded me:
Not bad right? I’ll be posting another reminder towards the end of this week, but don’t forget the deadline is 11:59pm Pacific Time Saturday November 3rd, 2012 and as always will be strictly enforced. Your entry must be posted to the contest thread before that time and clear all the rules to qualify, so the sooner you submit it the better (just in case you missed something so you’ll have time to fix it).
Just in time for half term, the Sun newspaper in the UK is giving away a series of Lego polybags starting on Saturday 27th October and running until 4th November. You can see all of the sets available and on what day here. You’ll need to purchase the paper on each day and take your voucher to your local WH Smiths or Toys R Us to get the toy, subject to availability.
No Star Wars this time, but plenty of Super Heroes and Lord Of The Rings sets.
IGN just posted this trailer (previously screened at NYCC) for the upcoming LEGO Batman movie. Take a look:
I have to say it seems a bit deceptively titled since it feels more like a LEGO Justice League movie with that setup. Sure, the tagline is DC Super Heroes Unite, but I can’t help but feel that Batman is pulling a few strings to make it seem like it’s all about him. Whatever the case, my immediate reaction to the trailer was “that giant joker bot would be awesome for our contest”. I have a one track mind. Looks fun though.
