Enter Kill Teal (Volume 2) contest to win 10260 Downtown Diner [News]

Our friends over at New Elementary are holding a contest in honour of the reintroduction of teal-coloured LEGO elements by LEGO.  There are some great prizes to be won, including two Grand Prize winners receiving a copy of 10260 Downtown Diner.  The competition is based on the ‘Mark Stafford Killed Teal’ story (if you do not know this story, it is explained on the competition page), and a previous build of mine that jokingly showed Mark Stafford killing Teal by sweeping it into a furnace.

Your entry should be a LEGO creation depicting the following: How might Mark Stafford kill teal again? The closing date is 22 February 2018, so there’s still time to get building and enter.  All the details, rules and entry form can be found over on New Elementary’s contest page.
