L-space Posted April 28, 2011 I know the question for new contest ideas was over taken two weeks later by the character rides contest but my contribution led me to the following idea: The Alternate Build Where we make alternate builds like in the good old days when LEGO suggested them on the backside of the boxes. Two categories spring to mind: 1. Free style: pick any official LEGO Star Wars set 2. Given set: a pick of three sets (small, medium, large) to alter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted April 29, 2011 That's a friggin' great idea for a contest L-Space. I'll keep this one in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted April 29, 2011 Indeed, but I would leave out the "free style" category. Just have three categories: Small, Medium, and Large. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Man Posted April 29, 2011 This is a realy good idea L-space, the winner gets a mint Cloud City . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L-space Posted April 30, 2011 Indeed, but I would leave out the "free style" category. Just have three categories: Small, Medium, and Large. I ment by freestyle that you get to pick your own set and by Given set that the staff picks 3 sets, (S, M, L) to alter. Off course making the inventory available for those who don't own a set. I know that limits the contestants somewhat but it would be great to see what different alternate models will be build from one set. And otherwise create a freestyle bbuild. Freestyle: Picking your own set could of course be done in the same size categories as well. This leading up to 6 categories in total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted April 30, 2011 Agreed. Alternate builds are extremely fun, especially to builders with less experience (like me) where the parts and colors are already picked out for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Man Posted April 30, 2011 Agreed. Alternate builds are extremely fun, especially to builders with less experience (like me) where the parts and colors are already picked out for you. But less so for me who has about 2 sets still made (8014 and 8015) and they're in alterat modes as it is. Still a good idea L-space (!!!!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Man Posted May 2, 2011 Apologies for the double post but this is a separate question about the rules for most contests in Star Wars land. Why are Custom minifigs and accessories allowed (Brickforge, Brickarms and so forth), but clone brand parts (megablocks, blocko and so forth)are not? I occasionally use M********s in MOC's for more detailed engine pieces, or for a different windshield, how is that any different from customizing figs and their equipment, they both add a level of detail or specificness not found in Lego.

KimT Posted May 2, 2011 Good question, which we're actually constantly discussing. The reason (so far) is that LEGO is our main (and sole) aim with this site and thus using just that for contests is common sense. The reason we allow custom parts is that they offer what TLG hasn't produced. I am aware that so does megablocks and other companies, but we like to think there's a difference between TLG's competition and private customizers. I'd like to elaborate on this when I am not at work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceroknight Posted May 24, 2011 How about something relating to the classic "how many jelly beans in a jar" type? Like, how many stormtrooper helmets in a jar or something? Or has this been done already... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted May 24, 2011 How about something relating to the classic "how many jelly beans in a jar" type? Like, how many stormtrooper helmets in a jar or something? Or has this been done already... Not yet, but it would certainly be useful for some kind of quick raffle-like contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Nihilus Posted October 18, 2011 I was just thinking that you could have a Planet Contest in the light of the new Planet theme. Something like 3 categories: Best custom Planet Best custom Mini related to a Planet Best custom Minifig related to a Planet. Just a suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KimT Posted January 4, 2012 will there be any contest in the near future? early 2012? Most likely not until I get settled in at my new home. Plus I need a job - so I'm kinda busy right now. I do promise to whip something up early Spring - hopefully with great prizes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim Thomsen Posted May 14, 2012 Any update with that contest yet ? And are there any more of those special EB stormtroopers left? I am no longer part of the Star Wars Forum. So I guess you'll have to wait for a loooong time for me to run a contest in the Spring I'm sure that the staffers are planning something, they usually are. An no, the EB Stormies are all distributed. Perhaps the new staffers will make something similiar eventually, perhaps not! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fan of Lego Posted July 17, 2012 Escuse me ,I want to know how to attach a signature to my messages and how deans make a avatar please ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted July 17, 2012 Go to your profile page by clicking on your name in the top right corner of your screen. Then click on "edit my profile" on the right side of the page. On the left side of the page should be a bunch of tabs, two of which are "change signature" and "change avatar". From there, the instructions should be pretty clear. Let me know if you still need any help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WonkyRick Posted June 13, 2013 Good salutations, is anyone looking for a T-14 Hyperdrive Generator? Not really, it's a decal created by me, because the minifig is super rare these days!!! And a bit expensive.. I'm starting a decal production company soon, and looking to take requests. Thinking about pirates next. Ask about my Star WarsTM collection. Good to meet everyone over here.
