Batman LEGO contest announcement!

If you like the LEGO Batman universe, if you follow the adventures of the dynamic duo, if you like the films, cartoons or games dedicated to Batman, here is your chance to show your affection to the LEGO Batman theme. And not only that, you can also win some valuable prizes! Interested? Then check out this LEGO contest over at Eurobricks!

THE CHALLENGE: There are two categories to choose from:

  • Category 1 – Build an 32×32 LEGO Batman SceneBuild an 32×32 vignette depicting any scene from the LEGO Batman Universe. It can be a scene showing our heroic bat crusader fighting off the criminals or showing a typical ordinary peaceful day in Gotham City. Just make sure it looks like a Batman related scene that can be fitted right here in Gotham City.
  • Category 2 – Build a 8×8 Vignette Home Scene for any LEGO Official Batman CharacterBuild an 8×8 vignette home scene for an official LEGO Batman character. It can be a vignette home scene that shows a part of Batman’s batcave, or a part of Joker’s playground or even a part of Killer Croc’s smelly sewage. You decide what vignette home scene that you will like to build for.

THE DEADLINE: November 29th, so you have quite some time to work on your entry!

THE PRIZES: First place in Category 1 will receive #7785 LEGO Arkham Asylum. First place in Category 2 will receive #7782 LEGO Batwing: The Joker’s Aerial Assault. Second and third places in both categories will receive random LEGO Batman keychains.

THE RULES: There are detailed set of rules for both categories. You can read them here: Batman LEGO Contest Rules. Read them carefully to make sure your entry doesn’t get disqualified.

Let your LEGO minifigs speak their mind!

There is a very interesting new product available: LEGO Minifigure Speech Bubbles. Here is the official description:

“Create a scene and start a conversation between your LEGO minifigures with the LEGO Minifigure Speech Bubbles. Each set includes 24 Speech Bubbles that can be connected to your Minifigures to make it look like they are talking. Attach the stickers with pre-printed sayings or use the included stencil to make your own messages. Comes with one Lego Minifigure to add to your collection.”

The LEGO Minifigure Speech Bubbles includes:

  • 1 LEGO Minifigure
  • 24 Speech Bubbles in different colors and shapes
  • 12 Pre-Printed Sayings
  • 24 Blank Stickers
  • 1 Stencil to make your own messages

The speech bubbles attach to the minifigs neck in the same way as minifig backpacks, air-tanks, quivers and other minifig gear. There are some regular bubbles for minifigs talking, exclamation bubbles for minifigs yelling, and cloud-bubbles for minifigs thinking. Cute, huh? 😉

The LEGO Minifigure Speech Bubbles are currently available only from Toys’R’Us for $9.99. Here is the link: LEGO Minifigure Speech Bubbles

I see great potential for these speech bubbles for LEGO vignettes and dioramas, as well as for LEGO photography, and stop-motion films. Also, if you ever participate in a LEGO exhibit or contest where you can only use LEGO products (no customizing or other brands allowed), the speech bubbles can add some really interesting dynamics to your LEGO creation. That’s just my thought. What do you think? 🙂
