LEGO Ideas Picture Perfect Memories Contest

The recently released #21345 LEGO Ideas Polaroid OneStep SX-70 Camera faithfully captures the look of the classic Polaroid One Step Camera. However, as it is a LEGO set, it can’t really take actual photos. But what if it could?

The LEGO Ideas team is challenging LEGO fans to create photos that might have been taken with a LEGO Polaroid Camera. They are looking for brick-built scenes that feature the iconic Polaroid film frame showing off special scenes and memories or creative wonders that are works of art.

If you would like to participate in this contest, your submission should include a brick-built Polaroid frame in white bricks, as shown in the image below. The scene can be larger than the frame itself as long as the frame is clear and obvious. Small portions of the frame can be covered. Your submission can be either 2D or 3D, but it should not contain any IP references other than Polaroid.

Create and submit your entry before February 8th, 2024, at 6:00 a.m. EST. (The LEGO Ideas team recommends submitting your entry 2-3 days before the deadline of the event they have to return it to you for changes. If your entry is submitted before the intake closing date but is sent back to you for changes, you will have until February 9th, 2024 at 6:00 a.m. EST. to resubmit. Resubmissions after this will not be accepted.)  You can submit your entry at the LEGO IDEAS PICTURE PERFECT MEMORIES CONTEST PAGE

If you are the grand prize winner of this challenge, you’ll receive the following: #21345 LEGO Ideas Polaroid Camera, #21342 LEGO Ideas Insect Collection, #21343 LEGO Ideas Viking Village, #21338 LEGO Ideas A-Frame Cabin, #21335 LEGO Ideas Motorized Lighthouse, a Polaroid Now Generation 2 Camera in Black, and two Polaroid Color i-Type film. Also, two runner-ups in this challenge will win the following: #21345 LEGO Ideas Polaroid Camera, #21342 LEGO Ideas Insect Collection, and #21340 LEGO Ideas Tales of the Space Age.

If you’re interested, head over to the challenge page to read the rules and get started! And while you’re there, also check out the already submitted entries. They are quite creative and they may give you ideas for your own creation.

Bulldoozer.

Yesterday, LEGO revealed the final design and release date of the set, now titled, #21346 LEGO Ideas Family Tree. Ivan’s beautiful family tree concept was brought to life as an official LEGO Ideas set by LEGO Model Designer Laura Perron and Graphic Designer Ashwin Visser.

The model comes with 1,040 pieces and is the perfect set to personalize for your family. With holders on hooks for photos and other family memorabilia to accessories such as seasonal foliage, a toy plane and a kite that you can place in the tree’s branches, and 4 bird boxes, 2 birds, and a Filipino butterfly. There are also flower elements to place on the grass-colored base, plus lots of other items to customize the idyllic scene, including binoculars, food elements, roller skates, and a magnifying glass.

In addition, the base of the tree doubles as a convenient hidden storage solution for the accessories and small builds that are included so you can easily swap them out when needed without rummaging through your entire LEGO collection.
