To celebrate the global release of the LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed role-playing game, the LEGO Ideas team is running a new challenge, titled; Replicate Your Heroic Minifigures in Battle! So, gather your favorite minifigures and prepare them for action-packed battles. In this contest, the LEGO Ideas team wants to see you create epic and or funny battles. They can be in space, 1v1 battles, or hundreds of minifigures getting involved. The more epic, the better! Prizes are great! Details below.
The contest will consist of three phases: 1.) Submission Phase – build and submit your entry before March 23rd, 2020 at 6:00 a.m. EST. 2.) Judging Phase – judges from the LEGO Games team and members of the Gameloft team review the entries and choose the winners by April 6th, 2020. 3.) Winners Announcement - the grand prize winner and two runner up winners are announced on LEGO Ideas no later than April 13th, 2020.
Here is how you can enter the contest: 1.) Submissions may be in either physical bricks or by using a digital building tool such as LEGO Digital Designer. You’re welcome to use image editing tools, such as Photoshop, to enhance your photos/presentation. 2.) Take up to five photos of your creation and submit them to the contest. Make sure to show off all angles and any features or functions of your creation. 3.) Submit your photos in as high a resolution as possible so that the judges can see all the details clearly. If possible, the shortest edge should be at least 1080 pixels. 4.) Add a title and short description. 5.)

I don’t do any Lego gaming, but I’m curious what people build for this
A trip to Billund? Wow. I would like that.
It’s unlikely that I will ever make it to Billund, but I would love to go. It’s like the Mecca of afols. I heard that everything is very expensive there, and of course, flights are expensive too, so an all inclusive trip is like a dream come true. I wonder what the activities include.
Cool contest. It seems you’re allowed to be really creative. And yeah, I would love to make it to Billund too!
They should make a Legacy Heroes set with all those classic minifigs and builds. I would buy that. 😀
Hmmm, despite the knight’s shining white ass, this game has failed to tempt me…
The contest seems more entertaining, though, although I’ve recently moved to a new place with a lot of boxes to go through, so I’m not up for any building challenges at the meantime…
Hmm, seems like the castle featured in the trailer is from the fairly obscure limited release retail North America only set 1906 Majisto’s Tower, which main claim to fame might be its gimmick with the box’ back side consisting of a drawing of a castle with cutout doors.

I have some of those old printed walls and windows with dragons. I think I got them in an eBay lot. 😀
Yeah, me too, some second hand bulk buy with a big bulk from the set’s bigger cousin 6082 Fire Breathing Fortress…
