You know, I forgot to add that to the rules. Official rule will be that you can enter as many times as you'd like in each category.

It's based off ROTS.

So back in Aug 2021 I ordered 2 pneumatic pumps. The order was left pending for so long I forgot about it. I got the order last week. And then I got it again on Thur and Fri. And then again on Mon and Tue. Seems to be a glitch loop where I get another order shipped out each day. Waiting to see if I get another one today. I called CS and my rep said all she saw was that the order went out today. Clearly a newbie because her answer was that I should call USPS who's been delivering the packages. I'll try calling again tomorrow to get a different person. As has happened before, Lego told me they don't want the pieces back and I can keep the extras. I just wish it was a more useful part. Why couldn't this happen with Black Falcon torsos!?!

Aunt Beru is sold out on Shop at Home. Surprised it lasted as long as it did. I ended up not getting any of the promos since everything I wanted to buy was out of stock and I couldn't convince myself to buy $160 worth of sets I already had or didn't plan to buy.

Nothing dumb about it! This preference is for you to use all standard Lego pieces. But you're not going to get disqualified if you have custom capes or even a clone brand gun or two. But the idea is to create with Lego. As long as your MOC captures the essence of that rule you'll be fine.

Sounds like the model has changed enough for you to enter it. Go for it!

Yeah, it just seems good to have a limit. I'd love to see a U shaped fighter that's not the tradition U-Wing from someone though.

Very nice ship! Love the use of the Batmobile windscreens. Took me a minute to recognize them and they work perfectly for your build. Just an FYI, you don't have to include the planet name in your post titles anymore

Love that SNOT floor. But it's your E-Wing that really shines here! Fantastic work on the shaping, especially at the nose. I also like your use of the minifigure trans-clear handles to act as repulserlifts for the ladder.

I really like the shape of this ship! My complaint would be that it's too blocky in parts. A lot of brick stacking going on. I'd recommend experimenting with some SNOT, especially for the sides.

Probably better to play it safe and not use that bonus. Maybe if you show his ratification as Moff being accepted among other Imperials first. Though, the bonuses are meant to be easy to use. So maybe it's best to just not over think it

As long as the droid is an astromech of some kind. A protocol droid would count towards the limit.

Good question. I'm going to say that it should hold no more than 2 "beings." So an astromech slotted in somewhere would NOT count toward the 2 person cap.

This contest is officially closed! We'll be working on judging this week. In the mean time, go check out the new May the 4th contest. You are welcome to cross post entries for that contest here for Mysteries.

We've got loads of cool prizes for you to win. Come check out our annual Star Wars contest!

And the prizes just got better! I've updated the list with even more sets to win. Minifigures can be of made-up characters or aliens that Lego has not produced yet. However, aliens should already exist within the SW universe. A brick-built droid would count as 1 of the 5 figures.

Contest is live!

May the 4th be with you. Welcome to Eurobrick's annual Star Wars contest! This year we're expanding our categories and prizes. So you have lots of ways to participate, and lots of ways to win! General Rules The contest runs May 2nd through June 30th. As long as it's still June 30th somewhere in the world, you can still enter. All entries must be new builds not shown online or publicly before May 1st 2022. Only official LEGO elements should be used. Avoid third party parts or clone bricks. Digital entries will be allowed. All digital entries must use only existing pieces in existing colors. Entries may be updated as long as the contest is still open. All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Watto’s Junkyard forum with the title prefixed by, "[M4-22 - category] - entry name". (For example, "[M4-22 - 12x12 Vignette] – Sarlacc Pit".) You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects on one picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. It is also prohibited to use the Lego logo in any picture. The only size restriction is the 12x12 Vignette category. All other categories can be any size or scale. As this is a Star Wars contest all entries need to be Star Wars related. A link should be included in this thread to ensure your entry is counted. This contest is open to all EB members, even if they joined EB after the contest has begun, with the exception of the Star Wars staff, who are not eligible to win prizes. Each contestant can only win 1 category prize and 1 individual prize, if multiple categories are won by the same contestant, he/she chooses which prize to receive and the other prizes will be awarded to the runner ups. You can use this stamp on your photos if you'd like: Judging Method There will be a team judges who will score builds based on the following criteria: Category: Pass/Fail Does your build fit the category? Majority vote of the judges decides pass/fail if the vote isn't unanimous. Storytelling ?/10 Does your build communicate a story all on it's own? Aesthetics ?/10 Detailing, build composition, and visual impact. Technical Ability ?/10 How well you use building techniques. SNOT, NPU, and movement are all elements of this category. Final Score: ?/30 Individual Awards Grand Admiral: awarded to the competitor with the highest total score combined from all entered categories. To win the Grand Admiral prize you must enter at least 3 categories. Categories 12x12 Vignette - Film Scene Recreation Recreate any scene from the films or shows within a 12x12 space. Any scale is acceptable. Border is included in the 12x12 size limit, so if you want to include a border, the whole build still needs to fit on 12x12 studs. Example: Purist Minifigures Create 5 purist Star Wars minifigures. These minifigures should be related to each other somehow. They should have a matching color scheme, all work in the same industry, or have something else that ties them together. Background builds are allowed. But the judging will be based on the minifigures. *rule addition: You can include up to one brick-built droid as a character* Example: Brick Built Creature Any creature from the Star Wars universe in any scale is allowed. The only rule is that it needs to be brick built. Example: Alphabet Fighter Create a SW fighter that resembles a letter of the alphabet. Can be an existing letter like A-Wing or X-Wing though creativity is encouraged. *rule addition: Your ship should hold no more than 2 beings. A slotted astromech does not count toward this limit.* Example: Prizes 12x12 Vignette- Film Scene Recreation - First place wins Imperial Armored Marauder: - Second place wins a custom figure from @MKJoshA Purist Minifigures - First place wins Luke Skywalker's X-Wing: - Second place wins a custom figure from @MKJoshA Brick Built Creature - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 100 Euro as their prize like: - Second place wins one set with an equivalent value up to 40 Euro as their prize like: Alphabet Fighter - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 160 Euro as their prize like: - Second place wins a set with an equivalent value up to 70 Euro as their prize like: Grand Admiral - A set or sets with an equivalent value up to 200 Euro as their prize like: Fine Print By entering, you consent to Eurobricks reposting your entry on Eurobricks' social media channels, crediting you. 1st place in the Vignette and Minifigure categories can choose the custom minifigure as their prize instead. If this happens 2nd place will win the set. Prizes supplied by EB staff are not exchangeable for other sets or prizes. Prizes with a EUR amount are supplied by TLG and are subject to the rules below. Prize values are determined in accordance with German Shop at Home and prizes are subject to availability on the Shop at Home in the winners' local countries. Some back and forth with Eurobricks staff might be required to select an available prize. Prizes could take 8-10 weeks to arrive but we will keep you updated as much as we are able.

Sorry Oky, decided to move it to May 2nd so it didn't overlap with the Mysteries contest ending. Details will be up shortly!

I should have specified "pre-order"

Me too! It's really killing the excitement of new sets. However, my wallet (and wife) will be so happy if Lego keeps up this mess that is the new B&P.

Yeah, that option isn't there for me anymore. It just says "coming soon."

If you did, we can always fix it on the back end. Don't sweat the form. It's a small learning curve we know, so there's lots of grace if you mess something up

Sorry about that! We'll get the rules updated soon. IP stands for Influence Points. That's what you earn for your team if you build in a square they have access to. The Light Side controls P6 and H16 which you can see on the map. That means you can build on any planet in those 2 squares or any of the ones adjacent to them. So for P6 that includes P5, P7, O6, and Q6 as well as H15, H17, G16, and I16. You can build outside those squares, you just won't earn points for your team.

Wow, the Tank is sold out in the US already. And I can't even order the N1. Says it's been moved to June 1st.
