Celebrations are happening across the galaxy! But how do they look? The LEGO Ideas team is asking fans in a new contest to create brickfilms in the Star Wars universe, based around some of the best ‘Earth’ holidays! Read the details of this fun contest are below.

For this contest, your brickfilm should relate to one of the following four themes: May the 4th (Star Wars Day), Father’s Day, summer holidays/back to school, or the year-end holiday season (Christmas, New Year etc.).

Your brickfilm should be between 15 and 30 seconds and either feature royalty-free music/sounds, using the provided sound effects from Lucasfilm, or be silent. The LEGO Ideas team is making a library of sound effects from Lucasfilm available to contestants who wish to use the official sound effects. Please note that these assets must only be used for this contest. For full information, see the fine print section of the contest page.

Also note that for the first time, there will be a double fan vote! There will be one fan vote to decide one winner of each category (based on the categories above). These four winners will then go into a second vote with the potential of winning the ultimate prize on top of the first prize! Here is the breakdown of how the contest will go:

  1. Submission Phase – Create and submit your entry before January 13th, 2022 at 6:00 a.m. EST. 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/video editing tools, such as Photoshop, to create your videos.
  2. Judging Phase – LEGO Ideas judges review the entries and choose 5 entries in each category to be part of the first fan vote by January 27th, 2022.
  3. Fan Vote 1 – This fan vote made up of 20 entries (5 from each category) will run from January 27th, 2022 to February 3rd, 2022.
  4. First Winner Announcement – The results of the first fan vote are shared on February 10th, 2022.
  5. Fan Vote 2 – The 4 winners of the first fan vote move into a second fan vote that will run from February 10th, 2022 to February 17th, 2022 to decide the final winner of the ultimate prize.
  6. Final Winner Announcement – The results of the second fan vote are shared on LEGO Ideas no later than February 24th, 2022.

Each of the four winners of the first fan vote will win the following: #75309 LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship, #75288 LEGO Star Wars AT-AT, and LEGO Ideas tote bag. If you’re the epic winner of the second fan vote, you’ll win the following: #75313 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series AT-AT set.

LEGO Pre-Black Friday VIP Weekend

The LEGO Pre-Black Friday VIP weekend event takes place today and tomorrow (November 20-21) This 2-day event allows LEGO VIP members to shop before the before Black Friday/Cyber Monday that will take place next week. Below are the details of what is offered this weekend for LEGO VIP members.

FREE LEGO RETRO TIN SIGN: You will get a free LEGO Retro Tin Sign with purchases of $250 or more. This offer is valid on all purchases today and tomorrow at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

FREE LEGO SANTA’S FRONT YARD: You will get a free LEGO Santa’s Front Yard vignette with purchases of $170 or more. This offer is valid on all purchased at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

In addition, some of the earlier offers at the LEGO VIP center are on sale. For details, visit the VIP center of the Online LEGO Shop.

DOUBLE VIP POINTS: LEGO VIP members will earn Double VIP Points this weekend on all purchases at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

As far as what to get this weekend to qualify for all the freebies, you might consider some of the holiday sets like the LEGO Winter Village series, gifts for family and friends, and sets that you have been saving up to purchase for yourself. If there are sets you want before the end of the year, I highly recommend getting them now as similar shortages are expected as last year before the holidays.

Also, remember that the Holiday Gift Guide is now open at the Online LEGO Shop. This is a useful way to search for sets and themes based on age and interest. It is particularly helpful for those who are purchasing gifts for friends and family. You can take a look at the Holiday Gift Guide section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? Are you planning to get anything this weekend? What are your favorite sets this year? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!
