LEGO contests for every interest and style!

There are a number of LEGO contests happening at ReBrick right now for teen and adult LEGO fans, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a roundup of the contests that you can participate in. 🙂

➡ LEGO BRICKHEADZ BRICK SELFIE CONTEST: This contest started back in April, and the deadline to enter is tomorrow, May 8th. The response to this contest has been fantastic, with over four hundred submissions. The contest basically asks participants to create a LEGO version of themselves in blocky LEGO BrickHeadz style. Again, the deadline is tomorrow, so there is not much time left to participate, but you can still squeeze in your creation if you hurry up. And, even if you don’t plan to compete, I highly recommend checking out the submissions, as there are some really great BrickHeadz you can take inspiration from for your own building. We talked about this contest in more detail preciously (see: LEGO BrickHeadz Brick Selfie Contest), and you can check out the entries, discussions, and other relevant info on the contest page: LEGO BRICKHEADZ BRICK SELFIE CONTEST

➡ LEGO FRIENDS GO-KART CONTEST: This contest was recently closed, but still worth mentioning, because of its immense popularity. There are close to five hundred super creative entries! We talked about this contest in detail already (see: LEGO Friends Customize Your Go-Kart Contest), but in short, participants were challenged to build a vignette featuring a LEGO Friends Go-Kart. This contest is a tie-in with the upcoming LEGO Friends Go-Kart racing sub-theme that will be released this summer. The winners will be announced on May 21st. Here is the link to the contest page: LEGO FRIENDS GO-KART CONTEST

➡ LEGO FIRST LEAGUE TROPHY CONTEST: This contest is actually run at LEGO Ideas instead of at ReBrick, but you can access the contest page from either websites. LEGO Education is looking for a new design for the First LEGO League World Festival trophy, which is used to recognize all World Festival award categories and the champions award. Basically, they want epic and display-worthy trophies built from LEGO bricks. The deadline for this contest is May 31st. You can find out more information at the contest page: LEGO FIRST LEAGUE TROPHY CONTEST

➡ LEGO JURASSIC WORLD CONTEST: This is the most recent contest on ReBrick with a deadline of June 1st. The challenge is to build something iconic that symbolizes the action-packed stories of the Jurassic Park or Jurassic World films. Your entry could be something like the hatching of a dinosaur egg, the iconic Jurassic World logo, a DNA string, claw marks, a shaking glass of water, a dinosaur footprint in the mud, or whatever else you think represents the films well. As this contest is very new, there are only a few submissions so far, and there is still plenty of time to enter. You can find out more info about this contest here: LEGO JURASSIC WORLD CONTEST

The rules for each of the contest are listed at their respective pages, but in general, all ReBrick and LEGO Ideas contests are for teen and adult builders (you have to be at least 13 to enter). This means that the bar is set pretty high, and you will be competing against some really creative and experienced builders. However, this should not deter you from entering, as these contests are a fun way to challenge your creativity and building skills. Also, as these contests are run by LEGO directly, the prizes are always very generous, usually containing a large number of really nice LEGO sets and exclusives both for the grand prize winner and the runner up winners.

What do you think? Are you planning to enter any of these LEGO contests? Or have you submitted your model to any of them already? Feel free to share your own ideas and submissions in the comment section below! We would love to check them out! 😉

LEGO Ideas updates & great projects

by on May 6, 2018
in Featured LEGO Creations

I thought it would be a good idea to do a little bit of round-up on LEGO ideas projects. We are still awaiting news on which LEGO Ideas project (if any) will be approved from the last batch. This includes three other houses from RobenAnne in the same style as the #21310 LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store that was released last year. Other projects currently under review are the Pop-Up Book by JKBrickworks, the Jaguar E-Type Roadster by Ozzyeatingbats, the Christmas Story House by twrt0es, and the RuPaul’s Brick Race by SeeMarkGeek. You can see them all at the In Review section of the LEGO Ideas platform.

Waiting for the next review period, a large number of projects already achieved the required 10,000 votes. This includes the Modular Arcade by Astronaut Avila, the Treehouse by KevinTreeHouse, the SR-71A The Final Flight by JustOneMoreBrick, The Flintstones by AndrewClark2, Stitch by Legohaulic, Embraer A-29 Super Tucano by Alex Paschoaletto, the Mystery Science Theatre by JMaster, the Acclamator Class Assault Ship by Lucero, and the Amelia Earhart project by Alatariel. You can see them all at the Achieved Support section of the LEGO Ideas platform.

There are also some great projects very close to 10k votes. Some of my favorites are the Fiat 500 F by saabfan, the Dinosaur Fossil Skeletons collection by Mukkinn, the Chemical Plant by Ymarilego, the Food Stand Diners by FrostBricks, and the Big Steam Tractor by Mr_Kleinstein. There are other projects close to 10k votes as well, so make sure you check them out at the Gathering Support section of the LEGO Ideas platform. Please note that these projects still need support, so if you like any of them, don’t forget to cast your vote.

A new project that was recently posted by JKBrickworks and already gathered quite a bit of support is titled the Pursuit of Flight. This small kinetic sculpture is designed to celebrate the wonder of flight. The two planes tilt as they move from side to side, giving the illusion of flying gracefully through the air. Jason from JKBrickworks writes: “For a while now, I’ve been thinking of building smaller LEGO sculptures that still exhibit interesting and unique movement, and one theme I wanted to explore was flight. This model features a micro scaled Sopwith Camel and Fokker Dr.1 moving from side to side, tilting as they do. I think it gives a pretty good impression of the planes soaring over the countryside below, with the one in the back chasing the one in the front” The model is only around 400 pieces, and can be easily customized to feature different planes, birds or even space ships flying over different environments.” You can see it in action in the video below, along with explanation of the mechanism that controls it. If you like this project, you can vote for it at this LEGO Ideas page.

Another recent project that is quickly gathering support is the Clockwork Aquarium by msjmiley. This is an ingenious little aquarium with fish that “swim” around the perimeter of the tank, a crab that jumps, and a starfish that spins as the fish pass by. This all happens by turning a crank which operates a smooth and robust mechanism built into the cabinet. And just like with the previous project, the various elements can be switched out to change the theme to, for example, SpongeBob or Nemo. You can learn more about this project and give your vote at its LEGO Ideas page.

LEGO Ideas is an excellent platform for LEGO fans to submit their own ideas for possible future LEGO sets. In addition to listing your own projects, you can also support the projects that you really like by other LEGO fans. Creativity, innovation, cooperation, and networking are all integral part of bringing great LEGO Ideas projects to life, so make sure you visit the platform and participate. It only takes a little bit of your time to support projects, give some feedback, and encourage others to vote as well. To see the currently available LEGO sets that were originally submitted by LEGO fans, visit the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? Which LEGO Ideas projects would you like to see become official LEGO sets? Are there any projects we didn’t mention here that you would like to see getting more votes? Feel free to share your own favorite picks in the comment section below! 😉
