LEGO World Builder – Design Opportunities

There are a couple of new opportunities on LEGO World Builder that I thought some of you may want to take advantage of. If you are not familiar with LEGO World Builder, you can read more about the platform via the links at the end of this post. In brief, LEGO World Builder is similar to LEGO Ideas, but instead of submitting ideas for potential future LEGO sets, it’s for submitting ideas for new LEGO entertainment content like web series, TV series, or even a full movie with product tie-ins, etc.

LEGO World Builder creators can post their own ideas and work with others to create the best content. At the same time, LEGO regularly monitors the platform for potential collaborations, and they occasionally also put out creative prompts and design opportunities. This means that they provide the topic, and they ask the LEGO World Builder community to develop the content. It’s similar to some of the LEGO Ideas contests where the winning project may get turned into a LEGO gift with purchase set or something similar. These opportunities are pretty exciting as it gives creative LEGO fans direct access to the LEGO creative team to collaborate on original stories, shows, and more. Currently, there are two such projects you can take on. Below are the details.

Build Your Own Marvel Mech-Inspired Worlds! – Creators, it’s time to suit up for your next adventure on LEGO World Builder! LEGO just launched a new creative prompt searching for Marvel-inspired worlds that incorporate the power of the Mech. When Captain America needs that extra boost, he trades his signature shield and jumps into his Mech cockpit. The mighty Thor is even mightier when he faces off against the most frightening enemies in his Mech Mjolnir. And Miles Morales ups his game with his Mech-generated electro-shock webs. LEGO invites you to create short story worlds that highlight the special capabilities of these high-powered suits! If you’re interested, visit this page: LEGO WORLD BUILDER – MARVEL CREATIVE PROMPT

Expand the LEGO World Builder Digital Library! – Women make the (LEGO) world go round! Calling all graphic designers, artists, photographers, and doodlers! Now is your chance to immortalize some of the world’s most iconic women on the LEGO World Builder platform with original banner images celebrating Women’s History Month. Earn $250 for each of your banners that’s selected to become a permanent part of the image library. The deadline for this project is February 28th. For more details on this design opportunity, visit this page: LEGO WORLD BUILDER – BANNER IMAGE DESIGN PROJECT

Also, remember that LEGO World Builder is full of interesting projects created by LEGO fans and other talented creators. Even if you don’t have an idea on your own, you might be able to contribute to some of the projects, so look around and see if anything catches your interest.

What do you think? Are you planning to participate in either of these opportunities? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below! And if you know someone else who might be interested, feel free to share with them as well.

Remembering BIONICLE & Watch the Films in HD

in Other LEGO Sets & Themes

LEGO BIONICLE has been in the news quite a lot lately as LEGO BIONICLE fans pushed the theme to the top of the list in the first round of votes for the most popular classic LEGO theme. LEGO is planning to release a 90th anniversary set based on one of the top four themes selected during the voting process (more info here). Fans of other classic LEGO themes were taken by surprise and even came up with various theories of how and why BIONICLE became the most wanted LEGO theme. The bottom line is that LEGO BIONICLE is still very popular and fans are hungry for more.

LEGO BIONICLE was originally launched in late 2000, early 2001 as a sub-theme of LEGO Technic. Over the following decade, it became one of LEGO’s biggest-selling properties; spawning into a franchise and playing a part in saving the company from its financial crisis of the late 1990s. BIONICLE was even named as the number one LEGO theme in 2003 and 2006 in terms of sales and popularity. However, despite a planned twenty-year tenure, the theme was discontinued in 2010. The decision was made due to dwindling sales and a lack of new interest in the theme (possibly brought on by its decade-long back-story and lore). BIONICLE was rebooted in 2015, but it only lasted a couple of years due to lack of sales. People criticized the simplified story and undeveloped characters of the reboot and thus it never took off.

The popularity of BIONICLE had to do with its rich, original story depicting the exploits of the Toa, heroic biomechanical beings with innate elemental abilities, whose duty is to maintain peace throughout their universe. The whole narrative was told across a multimedia spectrum including comic books, novels, games, movies, online content, and a series of direct-to-DVD films – BIONICLE: Mask of Light (2003), BIONICLE 2: Legends of Metru Nui (2004), BIONICLE 3: Web of Shadows (2005), and BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn (2009).

The first three films have been upscaled to 1080 HD by the BIONICLE Animation Archive with accurate noise removal on characters and textures, original unaltered color profile, original 16:9 aspect ratio, and sharpening on smaller textures for more fine, intricate details. These are hour-long films, but if you grew up with BIONICLE, or even if you are new to the story, I think you will enjoy them. You can watch below.

BIONICLE: MASK OF LIGHT

BIONICLE 2: LEGENDS OF METRU NUI

BIONICLE 3: WEB OF SHADOWS

If you enjoyed the films, and you would like to own the films, they are still available on DVD on Amazon. Below are the links.

We won’t know for quite a while which of the four top voted themes (LEGO BIONICLE, LEGO Classic Space, LEGO Pirates, and LEGO Castle) LEGO is going to select as an anniversary set. But LEGO BIONICLE fans made it known that they are still loyal to the theme and they would like it to come back at least as a single set celebrating BIONICLE’s important place in LEGO’s history.

What do you think? Did you grow up with BIONICLE? Are you still a fan? Would you like it to come back in some way, shape, or form? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!
