LEGO Batman’s Return comic strip contest

It was just about a week ago when we talked about the LEGO Star Wars Freighter Wars Contest, where you can enter for a chance to win the new #75192 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon. Since then, LEGO added another exciting contest to their ReBrick website, this time for Batman fans. Details are below. 🙂

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – OVERVIEW: Build a comic strip showing Batman re-joining The Justice League! LEGO Batman has decided The Justice League needs to be even more awesome, and to do that, they need him! But how will he go about re-joining? How will Superman and the other members of The Justice League welcome him, considering his behavior in The LEGO Batman Movie? Create a brick built comic strip depicting his return using up to five scenes/panels!

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – HOW TO ENTER: Build out scenes/panels from your comic, creating up to five scenes/panels, you can use photo editing or other means to create text boxes and speak bubbles, although having these are not a requirement. Use photo editing to combine them all as one picture, or upload them as five separate pictures and submit them to the contest. Use the description field to describe your model – then hit “submit”. When you receive a “Success!” pop-up notification after clicking “submit” on the entry submission page, your entry has successfully been submitted. The ReBrick moderation team will review it within 1-3 working days to make sure it fits all the contest rules.

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – RULES: Builds can honor any iteration of Batman including TV series, movies, comics or original creations but otherwise should not relate to or include any third party IPs. This means all entries containing third party IPs that do not relate to LEGO Batman or DC Comics, including licensed characters from Marvel Super Heroes, Star Wars, etc. will not be eligible for the contest. Please do not use elements or minifigure parts specific to another IP. Use of any LEGO DC characters is allowed. Your entry must tell a story. Your entry can only be five scenes/panels long, although it can be as short as one scene/panel. You can use photo editing to combine your entry’s photos into one or more scene/panel, or upload each scene/panel as a separate image. Action is accepted, but entries with extreme violence and blood will not be eligible for the contest. Text boxes, speech bubbles, and other effects are not necessary, however you can use photo editing to add text boxes or speech bubbles, built text using bricks, or use paper/common household objects to create text boxes/speech bubbles (please do not write or draw on bricks). Use of LEGO Digital Designer to create your entry is allowed, along with photo editing software or adding effects to your entry. Entries must not contain LEGO elements which have been modified from their original form, including painted or cut elements, however the use of homemade stickers is allowed in the contest. Entrants must be at least 13 years of age at the time of entry. You can read the rest of the entry guidelines and rules here.

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – DEADLINE: You must submit your entry by October 6th, 2017 at 10:00 AM EST. If you are not sure what time zone you are in, you can use an online time-zone converter to make sure you don’t miss the deadline.

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – JUDGES: A panel of judges from The LEGO Batman Movie team will select one grand prize winner and two runner up winners. They will judge entries upon: overall coolness and originality – 25%, most inspired details – 25%, relevance to the LEGO Batman universe – 25%, LEGO Batman humor and style – 25%.

There will be two runner up winners, who will receive the same currently available sets but not the mystery set, and a winner certificate with a small customized model from one of The LEGO Batman Movie designers.

LEGO BATMAN CONTEST – ANNOUNCING WINNERS: Winners will be contacted on the email address associated with their LEGO ID account after October 25th, 2017 and announced on ReBrick when the winners returned the signed Winner’s Certification Documents. A winner who does not return their Winner’s Certification Document within one week (5 days) of receiving it will be disqualified, and a new winner will be selected.

This contest is different than a normal building contest as it also includes photography and photo editing skills, and would be a fun challenge for creative LEGO and Batman fans. There are already a number of entries to this competition, which you can see at the official contest page. And for some inspiration, you can also browse through The LEGO Batman Movie sets at the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon available!

Just a quick reminder that the #75192 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon is available for LEGO VIP members starting today, with regular release beginning on October 1st. If you would like to get the set early, and avoid the risk of backorders and delays, you have two weeks to get your hands on the set. 🙂

As we have discussed in the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon press-release (see here), the #75192 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon is an updated version of the #10179 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon from 2007. You can go back to the press-release article to see all the details, and below I will repeat some of the basic info and designer-video for your convenience.

Travel the LEGO galaxy in the ultimate Millennium Falcon! Welcome to the largest, most detailed LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon model we’ve ever created—in fact, with over 7,500 pieces it is the biggest LEGO model ever sold! This amazing LEGO interpretation of Han Solo’s unforgettable Corellian freighter has all the details that Star Wazrs fans of any age could wish for, including intricate exterior detailing, upper and lower quad laser cannons, landing legs, lowering boarding ramp and a 4-minifigure cockpit with detachable canopy. Remove individual hull plates to reveal the highly detailed main hold, rear compartment and gunnery station. This amazing model also features interchangeable sensor dishes and crew, so you decide whether to play out classic LEGO Star Wars adventures with Han, Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO, or enter the world of Episode VII and VIII with older Han, Rey, Finn and BB-8! 7,541 pieces. Price: 799.99 – BUY HERE


In the designer-video below, LEGO Star Wars model designer Hans Burkhard Schlömer, and LEGO Star Wars graphic designer Madison (Maddy) O’Neil, will show you both the exterior and interior of the Falcon, as well as the play-features, minifigures, printed elements, stickered decorations and more. So much to see here!

It’s really heard to imagine how large this set is, unless you have a chance to see it in real life. If you are lucky enough to live near an official LEGO store, the #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon should be on display. Also, if you have ever seen in person the #10179 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon released in 2007, the two sets are actually the same size.

And, if you are looking for display options for the set, one of the most popular and practical ways LEGO fans have been displaying the earlier version of the Falcon is to encase it in a glass-top coffee table. This allows the Falcon to be fully visible, and protected without taking up extra space. Below is a wonderful example of this arrangement by LEGO fan lysanderchau. He even includes building plans for the coffee table, in case you would like to build one yourself in this flickr album.

If you missed out on the previous version of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon, this is your chance to add it to your collection. It really is the crown jewel of all LEGO Star Wars sets, and the dream of hardcore LEGO Star Wars fans. You can find it under the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the new LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon? And how do you think it compares to the original? Do you have the previous version? And are you planning to get the new set? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
