The Motorized Lego group on Flickr is hosting a contest for sci-fi creations that feature motorized components. The contest starts now and runs until April 1st. You can win custom trophies that include their own playable functions. Now that’s awesome.
The competition was grueling, the competitors determined. All said and done, there were 231 creations contributed by 85 different builders.
Classic-Castle has announced the winners to their annual contest, the Colossal Castle Contest VIII! Head on over here to see the winning entries!
All of the entries can be seen here.
Congratulations to everyone!
Looking for something to get your mind of the snowy, cold winter? PCHLUG has just the thing for you. Their first creativity challenge, aptly called the PCHLUG 101 Challenge – California Dreamin’, starts tomorrow. The premise is to build an entry based on the theme with 101 bricks. The theme for February’s challenge is, as you might have guessed, California Dreamin’.
What’s in it for you, you might ask? Prizes.

Aran Hudson (Cole Bl♠q) is organising a LEGO speeder bike contest over on Flickr. The contest takes place at the LSB – Lego Speeder Bikes Group and the thread for the announcement and discussion can be found here and the entry thread here.
First prize is a chrome Stormtrooper riding a bike with Chrome parts. And the 2nd and 3rd prizes are random Minifigs from the MS2. A special Speeder Bike with rider is for the most innovative concept.
….Iain Heath’s “Tastes like Zebra”! The contest was grueling and the entries were hysterical. The judges were judgmental and the winner loathes minifigs. All in all, it was a great contest!
Congratulations to Iain and many thanks to all who entered. It really was a lot fun to watch and it was the easiest contest I’ve ran in many years. Mime On!
One of the Categories for the Colossal Castle Contest is Fairy Tales–and Scrat has chosen to illustrate the Danish tale The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. In the vein of many original fairy tales, this is a sad, sad story. Scrat’s rendition captures the melancholy atmosphere perfectly:
There are 23 days remaining until the close of this year’s Colossal Castle Contest over at Classic Castle! Let me tell you–I don’t envy the judges. There are some fantastic creations. Here are just a few:
The Pastoral Life Category – Walking The Goats (David Leest)
Fairy Tale Category – Humpty Dumpty (DarkTemplar)
Mythical Battle Category – Attack of the Skeleton Horde (ACPin)
Our contest “A Mime is a terrible thing to Waste” is ending in three days, so if you are holding onto an incredible idea relating to Mime violence, you’d better get moving!
Mime Up!
