Contest: The 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier set to win!

25/02/2015 - 16:16 Competition

brickheroes contest

Take out your bricks, I offer you a contest that will allow one of you to win a copy of the set 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier worth 349.99 €!

And you will have to be creative to hope to win, you will have to show your imagination and a lot of ingenuity ...

You must have noticed the minifig display delivered in the box of set 76042 with a reproduction of the SHIELD logo. To hope to leave with this box, you will have to build another display, but with the HYDRA logo.

You are then free to decorate it with some (official) minifigs that you have (Red Skull, HYDRA agents, minifigs embodying the HYDRA representatives based on elements from other official minifigs, etc ... ).

You can take inspiration from the multiple representations available of the HYDRA logo by choosing the color combination that suits you best: Black and red, black and white, green and yellow, etc ...

To choose the best brick representation of the HYDRA symbol, I called on the one who is probably best placed to give his opinion: It is Marcos Bessa, the official LEGO designer of many LEGO Super Heroes sets including the 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier, who kindly accepted to don the judge's cap and who will designate the winner!

minifig hothbricks winners

With a little delay on the scheduled date, here is finally the list of the winners drawn at random who will receive as soon as they have communicated their postal details to me the Hoth Bricks minifig.

I added three winners to the ten initially planned. It's not much, but I wanted to lengthen the list a bit, just to reward more people.

I thank all the participants, regular bloggers or occasional visitors, it was a pleasure to read all your comments.

I will repeat the operation very quickly, so that this minifigure can integrate even more collections, it is planned for that.

Thank you again to all, well done to the winners, and to be fair, during the next round, the winners of this first wave cannot be drawn a second time. I think they won't hold it against me.

Workshop for making a rocking horse by Desman

Okay, after much deliberation, nobody agrees and we have to decide, so I decide.

First of all, thank you to all the participants who did their best with the inventory imposed and the many constraints of the regulations. The final ranking you will find below is highly subjective and I assume it.

The main problem with this type of exercise is to succeed in mixing colors that do not really match while maintaining maximum readability of the whole. Some did it better than others, but all of the participants who tried to meet the challenge are to be commended.

The winner of the competition is therefore outrage with his rocking horse. It is an achievement at first relatively simple but which stands out with the choice to reproduce a real toy being finished and to put it in the center of the action, the colors work, it is in the theme and that catches the eye. He wins a set of his choice: The LEGO Star Wars UCS 75060 Slav I or the LEGO Creator set 10246 Detective's Office.

In second place, Kaput and his skating competition. The dynamics of the stage, the trophy in front of the stand and the supporter with his flag make all the difference. Attention to detail pays off and he wins a LEGO Ideas set 21301 Birds.

In third place, rv069 and its winter bowling alley, even if the inventory limits and the obligation to have to use a maximum of parts are felt, it is a nice realization and very readable. The snowball that becomes a bowling ball allows him to win a LEGO Ideas set 21301 Birds.

Two additional favorites for which I offer each of the winners a set of LEGO ideas 21109 Exo Suit :

The sled taking off from lili59000, because we really have the impression that it takes off. The dynamics of the scene are excellent despite the a little empty side of the whole due to the necessary distance for the photo, it is an achievement that caught my eye.

Turkey Godzillou, because he has a good head and humor and the second degree, for bibi, it is important.

The winners will be contacted by email. thanks to LEGO Affiliate Team for the first three batches and to myself for the next two.

To win: The exclusive Hoth Bricks custom minifig

16/12/2014 - 11:19 Competition

hothbricks i love 1024

Come on, more tips to win with this time a slightly special gift: A custom minifig to the glory of the blog directly inspired by the one distributed at the Toys R Us store of Times Square during the presentation of the giant X-Wing which took place at the end of May 2013.

I have already received many emails about this minifigure, some copies of which have already been distributed by me. This is therefore an opportunity to put it forward.

Technically, no compromises were made: These are obviously official LEGO parts and the torso is pad printed exactly as the manufacturer does for official minifigs, no stickers, decals, digital printing and other quirks.

To try to win one and add it to your collection, it's very simple: Post a comment indicating why you want (or not) to try to win a copy of this minifig.

10 participants will be drawn and will receive this Yoda in the very limited draw.

If you don't win this time, all is not lost, the operation will be repeated soon.

Good luck everyone and thank you for your loyalty.

The photo above is from Benjamin Bouix (bbx), a friend whose work you can discover on his blog at this address.
