Blow the man down

Ricardo Silva summons up a storm in this whimsical scene. The fig posing in this great and the use of white dinosaur tails is perfect. Also I absolutely love the expression on the cloud.

Put Your Brick Where Your Mouth Is TWO – Contest Extended

Dan — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 16:16:06 +0000

It seems that I somehow failed to announce this contest here on TBB when it started a month ago. As things stand right now, we’ve reached the deadline with fewer entries than we have prizes! I just received the prizes from LEGO a few days ago, and they’re all great. It looks like we’ll be giving away one each of almost all of the new Alien Conquest sets, not the small ones, though. Our smallest prize seems to be a twenty dollar set!

Just like last year, this contest is all about trying to build something that you think would make a cool set. Mark Stafford is serving as our celebrity judge, and he’ll try to give each entrant some insight into how a real set designer would have their design critiqued. Of course, this is an unofficial contest, and in no way constitutes a job offer from LEGO, or solicitation by LEGO of ideas for actual sets to be produced. It’s all in fun!
