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).
That’s right folks, we’re already past the halfway point in our latest contest and it’s time to kick things up a gear. Right now we only have seven challengers in the pool, with a heavy leaning towards villains, but one look at the talk in the contest thread tells me these are just the tip of the iceberg. You guys really know how to throw down the gauntlet so I’m not really worried about the low early turnout. Again, the deadline is 11:59pm Pacific Time Saturday November 3rd, 2012 – giving you 20 days left to polish off your robots and submit them to the forum. Here’s what you late comers will be up against:
Every one of those blew me away when I saw it posted and I can’t wait to see what everyone else is working on. Ace is still keeping the remaining prizes under wraps (what can I say, the man loves suspense) but there’s already $300 in Lego Shop at Home Gift Cards on the line so I can’t imagine what he’s cooking up to sweeten the deal.
A little behind schedule with this final update but better late than never. The poll closed on Tuesday night and the top rated video, with a whopping 52% of the votes, is Egos Collide by zhouston:
Quite the landslide victory. He now gets to pick which of the super rare super hero minifigs he’d like from the pair provided by Lego. And the runner up, who will receive the other half of that duo, is The Sinister Two by minitrue11:
Really great work on these videos and the rest of the entries. Thanks again everyone for participating!
The time has come to screen the entries and pick your favorite, so head on over to the polling thread where you can watch them all and cast your vote. Winners will be announced in one week.
The final round poll ended last night and revealed the ranks for the winning entries to the Wings of Justice Contest. Coming in first place is zhouston’s Gamma Raider, piloted by The Incredible Hulk. You just can’t go wrong with a gamma radiation powered flying battering ram:
One poll down, one to go. The field has been narrowed to the top five models (shown below), now it’s time to determine the winner. Sign in to the forum and swing by this thread to cast your final vote. Results will be announced in one week.
Last night was the deadline for entries and now the first poll is ready to go. We have 52 competitors that you’ll have to narrow down, so stop by this thread to pick your favorites. This first poll will run for one week, and you can select up to five entries. The five top ranked models will move on to the final round of voting next weekend. You can see each of the competing builds below… there’s a lot of variety and some very odd aircraft so the voting should be interesting. Cheers to everyone who participated and good luck in the poll!
As of midnight tonight you’ll only have five more days to submit your model for the Wings of Justice contest. Lots of fun designs so far and we’re sure to get some more competition in the last stretch like we usually see. I’m really looking forward to the final lineup. When you’re ready to go be sure to post your photos to this thread as outlined in the rules. Again: the deadline is 11:59pm June 2nd (PST) – that’s this Saturday night – and voting will commence shortly after. Good luck everyone and keep those models coming!
