Announcing The 2011 Podracer Challenge Building Contest

[Legoorci]

I don't want to be a pain, but I'd like to know wether I can make a podracer without having a fig of the theme, but the fig I want to show is also looking like the original fig (eg. if I don't own indiana jones, but make a minifig (just with normal lego elements, without cutting painting etc.) that is easily noticable as Indiana, can I use this ?).

I just wanted to say that this contest is really cool and that such events were the reason to join for me. Keep this system !

Ps: Is there anything like an introduction thread ?

Just out of curiosity, what did Lego do with Coke? I'm assuming we are talking about Coca Cola but I just cannot seems to find anything on the net.
And just to be sure, if I wanted to do a Coke themed pod racer, is it enough to build one that is in the right and recognizable color coding (Red/White) I suppose I don't need any specialized bricks?

"No passengers, prisoners, muses, navigational droids, or any other sentient being."
Does that include skeletons as decourationson on an Indiana Jones podracer

How do I edit the background on a picture?

Regarding this part of the rules:

"No passengers, prisoners, muses, navigational droids, or any other sentient being."

What if the "engines" are sentient beings? Without giving away my idea think of something along the lines of horses, which are technically sentient beings, pulling a wagon. Would that be allowed under the rules as they are not prisoners, muses or navigational aides but actually serve as the engines for the vehicle.

Hello all,

Recently rediscovered LEGOs after a dark age. It's been exciting to find such an enthusiastic community of LEGO fans.

First post and first contest entry. The build was a lot of fun, and I'm excited to see more entries.

When Eugene Krabs heard about the prize money from the second (quasi)annual Bothan Classic, he immediately entered his best (and only fry cook), SpongeBob SquarePants into the race. With the help of his good friend and engineering whiz, Sandy Cheeks, SpongeBob was able to put together a working podracer out of parts he borrowed from his neighbor's, Squidward Tentacle's, house. It's a good thing that the (quasi)annual Bothan Classic doesn't require the driver to have a driver's license, because SpongeBob doesn't have one!





Thanks for viewing!

itchybreath, I fixed your code because editing posts is disabled in here. Everyone: be sure you click the •BBCode button before copying the flickr code, html does not work on the forum. Also, click preview before you click submit. If it doesn't show up right fix it before posting. If you're confused on what to do just ask.
