LEGO Lord of the Rings contest!

“My dear Bagginses and Boffins, Tooks and Brandybucks, Grubbs, Chubbs, Hornblowers, Bolgers, Bracegirdles and Proudfoots…” (quote by Bilbo) there is an exciting LEGO Lord of the Rings contest you may want to participate in! The contest was announced in the latest LEGO Club Magazine, but if you are not subscribed you likely missed the announcement. Here are the details of the LEGO Lord of the Rings Building Challenge:

Be part of the greatest fantasy movie-series! Build your favorite scene from any of the three The Lord of the Rings movies – The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King , using pieces from your LEGO collection and you might be a winner!

HOW TO ENTER THE LEGO CONTEST: Build a model of your favorite scene from any of the three Lord of the Rings movies using pieces from your LEGO collection (only LEGO elements can be used, no custom items, or non-LEGO parts). Take a color photo of your LEGO model (only color photos will be accepted in JPG, PNG, or PDF file format), and upload it here: Enter the LEGO Lord of the Rings Contest

LEGO CONTEST PRIZES: The Grand Prize winner will win a trip for a family of 4 to Warner Brothers Studios and LEGOLAND California! 10 First Prize winners will win the LEGO The Lord of the Rings full assortment! 35 runner-ups will win an exclusive MONDO LEGO Lord of the Rings poster!

LEGO CONTEST DEADLINE: The LEGO Lord of the Rings Building Challenge began at 09:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time on July 1st 2012 and ends at 11:59:59 PM EDT on August 15th, 2012.

➡ LEGO CONTEST RULES: The LEGO Lord of the Rings Building Challenge is only open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are five years of age or older at the time of registration. The LEGO creation should (obviously) be built by you. Enter as many times as you wish with different creations, but only one entry per person will be eligible to win a prize. One person cannot win more than one prize. You can read all other rules at the following link by clicking on the ENTER button. Please read carefully: LEGO Lord of the Rings Contest Rules

Personally, I don’t care for the Grand Prize, but the First Prize looks really-really sweet! An entire collection of LEGO Lord of the Rings sets? I will take that any day! The Runner Up Prize is okay too, I guess, if you are into MONDO posters. Also, according to the rules, I don’t see any reason why you can’t enter this contest as an older teen or an adult. The rules only say you have to be over 5-years-old. 🙄

There is one LEGO Monster Fighters set we haven’t talked about yet; the #9465 LEGO Monster Fighters Zombies. It came out later then the first wave of Monster Fighters, so some of you may have missed it. Here is a picture of the box:

The LEGO Monster Fighters Zombies set comes with three zombies, Jack McHammer (the hero) and 447 pieces to build a grave-yard with two coffins and a creepy crypt, and Jack McHammer’s vehicle with giant zombie-smashing hammers. Here is a picture of the set:

Here is the official description for #9465 LEGO Monster Fighters Zombies: Help Jack McHammer get out of grave danger and seize the zombie moonstone! Through the mist, Jack McHammer catches sight of the zombie graveyard. He’s on a mission to recover the zombie moonstone, but as he reaches for it, the zombies rise from their coffins and attack! Can he make it back to his car and battle the zombies with the giant hammer?

If you like the LEGO Monster Fighters theme, this is a great set to get. With a graveyard, four minifigures and a vehicle, it has plenty of play-value. If you are not into monster-fighting, you may still like this set for the three unique zombies that would work well in post-apoc or haunted-castle settings. Here is a picture of the three zombies in the set as well as the zombie from the first Collectible Minifigure series pictured on the right (images from BrickLink). You can now build a whole horde of these guys! 😈

The vehicle is not bad either, with some nice features and lovely colors. You can easily rework it into a classic-style or steampunk-ish vehicle, if you don’t care for those big hammers and flick-fire missiles. 🙄

The LEGO Monster Fighters Zombies set is now available at the Online LEGO Shop, along with all the other sets in the series (except for the #1022 Haunted House, which will be released September 1st). The Zombies set is $39.99, which comes to 8 cents a piece – pretty standard for today’s LEGO sets. You can check out further details or buy at the LEGO Shop.

So what do you think of the LEGO Monster Fighters Zombies? Do you like the series, or do you build other zombie-scenes? Share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉
