"They're supposed to be great warriors... Clever, resourceful, proud, intensely loyal to one another, too." - Zahn

Special challenge, from now till July 31st you can earn double XP (and double IP if built on an eligible planet). The only criteria is your MOC must include a Chiss depicted in such a way that he/she matches the description given by Timothy Zahn above. You don't have to use the official Thrawn minifigure for this. Only a blue head or blue hands are required. You can use a hood, not show the face, or some other clever way. Blue hands are currently available in the Benny minifigure in the space battle pack from the Lego Movie 2. Please include the word "Chiss" in your entry title to ensure you get double XP.

Well, that's fun. I did a little diorama a week ago that had a sandy base, and I was waiting for the right time to post it up :)

"Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!"

Mini-MC80

Okay, wrong movie but the quote fits. Special challenge, from now till Oct 6th you can earn double XP (and double IP if built on an eligible planet). The only criteria is your MOC must include a microscale ship. Our hope is that they can compliment your SHIPtember ship if you are building one. And if you aren't you can still build microscale! Please include the word "Microscale" in your entry title to ensure you get double XP.

"Stormtroopers travel in squads of nine." -Stackpole

Special challenge, from now till Nov 14th you can earn double XP (and double IP if built on an eligible planet). The only criteria is your MOC include 9 Stormtroopers. You don't have to own 9 official Stormtrooper figs, you can show 9 troopers off duty in civilian clothes. Please include the word "Stormtroopers" in your entry title and submit it under the Special Challenge option on the form to ensure you get double XP. This is a great way to show off a Mandalorian taking out a squad. Because... you know... The Mandalorian comes out soon. (sorry to those not in the US!)

An additional clarification for the Nov challenge. Any version of Trooper found after the destruction of the Death Star is allowed (so no Clonetroopers). Snowtroopers, Sandtroopers, Patrol Troopers, etc. are allowed. But all 9 most be of the same type. So no mixing Snow and Patrol Troopers. Also, you can use First Order troops. We want to allow for builders who may have only started collecting troops more recently and may have a larger collection of Ep 7-9 sets than OT sets. For sake of the Factions timeline, you can say that someone has a premonition or a vision about things to come. Let me know if you have any other questions!

If I were you, I'd stay off the ice...

Airspeeders don't count. I guess truckspeeders are fine (I didn't know that was a thing). Think flying car or bike, not flying plane or spaceship.

The intention was to have people make a landspeeder. Not an airspeeder, snow speeder, or cloud car. Examples of landspeeders are the X-34 that Luke drives in a New Hope, the Flash Speeder from Phantom Menace, and the M-68 Han drives at the beginning of Solo.

Just to clarify - @goatman461 says speeder bikes (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Speeder_bike), and speeder trucks (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Speeder_truck) are included in this challenge. It sounds like you only want landspeeders @MKJoshA ...

So is this challenge 1) Landspeeders only or 2) Landspeeders, speeder bikes, and speeder trucks.

Thanks - and sorry for hair-splitting...

@MKJoshA are speeder bikes okay with you?

Also, are speeder bikes distinct from swoop bikes? Are swoops the equivalent of drag-race machines?

I'm fine with whatever you decide @goatman461

Just do a landspeeder and make this less complicated

And it sounds like we are going for landspeeders only!

Not everyone in the galaxy can afford starfighters straight off the assembly line. Some can't even afford them at used prices. So when push comes to shove people get resourceful. Cobbled together from crash-sites, junkyards, or old collections, Uglies are any combination of two or more starfighters.

Feel free to use your parts of your entries from the last contest for this one. Just make sure you let us know which two starfighters you're combining!

Special challenge, from now till Feb 28th you can earn double XP (and double IP if built on an eligible planet). The only criteria is your MOC include an Ugly. Please include the word "Ugly" in your entry title and submit it under the Special Challenge option on the form to ensure you get double XP.
