The LEGO Ideas team is running a new contest for gamers and brick enthusiasts! This is a fun challenge with great prizes. Details below.
Do you ever find yourself needing to step away from the intense battlefields, adventurous quests, or high-speed races in your favorite game? What if we told you there’s a way to make your “be right back” moments just as epic as the game itself? Introducing the LEGO Ideas “Be Right Back” Gaming Sign Challenge!
This is your golden opportunity to combine your love for gaming with your passion for LEGO bricks. Imagine crafting a unique, brick-built “BRB” sign that not only informs your teammates and online friends that you’re AFK (away from the keyboard) but also adds a touch of cool and clever flair to your gaming setup.
Not sure where to start? Below are some ideas to get your creative clutch power flowing:
- Retro Arcade: Craft a sign that looks like it belongs in a 1980s arcade, complete with pixel art and neon flare.
- Speed Runner: Design a high-energy sign with elements like golden rings, loops, and a sense of motion. Think about incorporating bold colors and a sense of speed into your build.
- Fantasy Quest: Use elements like wands, shields, and magical creatures to hint at your favorite RPG adventures.
- Battle Royale: Create an action-packed sign inspired by a game field filled with supply drops, high terrain, and tactical opportunities. Use bright colors, creative structures, and dynamic scenes to capture that intense, competitive spirit.
- Space Odyssey: Create a sign that looks like it’s from a futuristic spaceship, using sleek lines and metallic colors.
- Block World: Design a sign that looks like it’s been built from colorful, blocky elements, featuring familiar landscapes such as grassy plains, pixelated trees, and maybe even a few blocky creatures. This concept is perfect for a playful and interactive feel.
- Nature Retreat: Design a BRB sign that incorporates natural elements like trees, waterfalls, and wildlife for a calming AFK break.
