Siegfried Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 RebelRock at FBTBForums.net has posted news of a new clone speed build contest! It's at all LEGO stores. Quote
SirNadroj Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Good ol' RebelRock! Thanks for the heads up, Sinner! But only one clone as a prize? Quote
Siegfried Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 But only one clone as a prize? Yeah... A total of six given away per store. What will they do with all the abused clones afterwards? They'll be of no use to the Republic; just think of all the mental trauma! Quote
SirNadroj Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 At the last Clone Building Event, didn't they give away tons of troopers? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=303747 Quote
Shoc Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 At the last Clone Building Event, didn't they give away tons of troopers? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=303747 Yeah, I was thinking that... Cheapskates :skull: Quote
Siegfried Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 At the last Clone Building Event, didn't they give away tons of troopers? I don't know. From what I have heard those boxes were issued to the stores and were later sold and/or given away. Anyone who was there at the last one? Quote
Oky Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Well, since I'll be camping in front of my local store to get the new sets that day , I might as well participate and take home an extra clone! At the last Clone Building Event, didn't they give away tons of troopers? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=303747 Holy Brick! That would be awesome if they would give away something like that! But no - it's just one clone! I hope it's at least one of the new Phase 1s as they will be pretty rare this year! Quote
Corvus Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Hmm... I'm assuming they'll put the clones in the PAB for a lot of money. Quote
Corvus Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Isn't PAB only factory-new parts? I'm not sure. I don't do the PAB that often. What else are they gonna do with them, though? Quote
Vaders_son Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I don't know Maybe give them away to someone special they know or sell them on Ebay or ... They could just send them over to me Benny Quote
CloneMe Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Hey all i remeber reading somewhere that there was gonna be a contest at all lego stores dealing with the new clones from the clone wars, but can no longer find it. Any info would be great like time and just basically about the whole thing. Thanks. Edited July 13, 2008 by CloneMe Quote
CloneMe Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Yes thats it. Thank you very much. Do you know if it is for sure there only giving away one clone at a time? Quote
Siegfried Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 Do you know if it is for sure there only giving away one clone at a time? All I know is contained in this newly merged topic. Quote
Skipper 24 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I can't belive that my school is taking me on a school trip on July 26th to BlueWater! Quote
CloneMe Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 So was anyone here actually in the last contest. I just want to know what parts of the figures we put together. Like head torso helmet legs or is it something like head leg leg arm arm hand hand...? Quote
Oky Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 So was anyone here actually in the last contest. I just want to know what parts of the figures we put together. Like head torso helmet legs or is it something like head leg leg arm arm hand hand...? Naaah! I'm sure it will be head-torso-helmet-legs, just like putting figs together from a newly purchased set. That would be way too hard for little kids to get the arms into the torso and such anyway. So, start practicing! Quote
CloneMe Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Ok thanks. Didnt think it would be the harder one. Im definetly gonna participate and the cool thing is, is that there arn't to many people that will probably participate at the washington square mall lego store in oregon. Wew I cant wait. Quote
Norrington Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 This is awful. Sure, you might get to win 1 clone. But there are only 6 per store, so odds are you can only win one. The old clone things were great, you got to build them and keep all the ones you built. There has to be some other catch to this. Quote
CloneMe Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 yah. But isn't this just like a preliminary if you think about it. I mean I dont think its a for sure thing that we would only get one clone, right? Quote
Siegfried Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 yah. But isn't this just like a preliminary if you think about it. I mean I dont think its a for sure thing that we would only get one clone, right? Did you look at the scanned flyer? ...the fastest builder will win a clone trooper... Seems pretty clear to me. Quote
Oky Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) OK, so I went to the Lego Retail Store in Downtown Disney today and participated in the contest. What you had to do was to put together 10 of the new Phase 1 clones as fast as you could. There were always four contestants, most of them 10 year-old boys. Everyone had a tray where he could arrange the helmets, heads, torsos, and legs before each start of the contest. Being the only AFOL competing, I won of course. What surprised me, though, was that all the clones had Commander Cody's helmet! So, after exchanging the arms with orange ones and adding some clone gear, I now got a Cody fig for FREE! I still wish this were a normal clone since I'll be getting the RGS at some point and would rather have another generic clone to add to my small army of Phase-1s than having two Codys. Oh well, maybe I'll mod the helmet so that it becomes that of a pilot, or maybe I'll sell the fig and get a whole new set from what I get for it. Did anyone else participate? what was your experience? Edited July 27, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote

Did anyone else participate? what was your experience? we at blue water had to do as many in a minuet as e could i only did 10 some one else got 12 they would give you the clip board to write down your name and then look away to carry on i could have written my name down and put 14 clones in the amount built part but that didn't occur to me until after also just brasso off the orange from the helmet Quote
