May 14, 200816 yr What about a Vig contest based on some lines from a book or some poetry. Not only would you have to find some good source material but conveying all of the text would be a good challenge. What do you think?
May 14, 200816 yr What about a Vig contest based on some lines from a book or some poetry. Not only would you have to find some good source material but conveying all of the text would be a good challenge. What do you think? Uuh - I can't read No, seriously - How could other members vote for the best Vig? They'd have to do a appropriate research for every Vig, regarding the content, characters,... I don't think it would work Benny
May 14, 200816 yr I am not saying that you will have to research anything, just post the bit of text above your pics, like doc s just recently did on his vig with the dog. movies are cool and all but all you are doing is recreating something already done, with this you will have to create something, unless they made the book into a movie...

I like that idea, although I would have no clue what book/poem to chose! All I read is SW & Harry Potter! Wait a minute... maybe that's not a bad idea! I could create a scene from one of Timothy Zahn's books! I definitely like the sound of that!
May 15, 200816 yr movies are cool and all but all you are doing is recreating something already done, with this you will have to create something, unless they made the book into a movie... This is a good point indeed Opinion changed - cool idea Benny
May 25, 200816 yr Batbrick's idea for a movie vig contest sounds cool, and so do lots of these other suggestions. The reason I'm posting here is that we need to get some sort of contest up and running. There isn't even one going at the moment! Hey, I've got a cool contest! How about a contest in which the contestants are required to come up with a cool contest idea, and the best contest entered by a contestant is made into a real contest! It could be called the Contest to find Or we could have a dragon-building contest...
May 25, 200816 yr Here's my idea, maybe it has been suggested before, but i couldn't find it. Classic Space contest. With three categories: *Small - to build those classic little craft we all love *Medium - for the classic space vehicles *Large - Classic style space stations. Large trans yellow plates on!! JB
May 25, 200816 yr Idk, I'm a big sci-fi fan, so I would love a space related contest but I'm not a big fan of the classic space lego theme. So can't we have a just generally space themed contest like moon base modules or something? That would be great! The movie contest idea was also good, as I mentioned before, I think. But let's just have some kind of contest, and let's have it soon! I'm having a contest deficit!
May 25, 200816 yr Author What would you guys think of a modern Blacktron Contest? Something like modernizing and greebling Blacktron. Blacktron Rogue Forces or something like that?
May 25, 200816 yr That sounds like a cool idea Hinckley. Although any contest at the moment sounds cool. Nah I'm just messing with ya, this could work. I don't own much Blacktron, but it could be very appealing to our space fans. Looking at the replies in this thread, I think Batbrick's idea for a movie vig contest would go down well. It appears there are lots of people who would be willing to enter. Please Hinckley? I'll set my dragon friends on you if you don't agree... I still think a Dragon-building contest is a good idea.

Sorry, yes. I think it's clear we should run a movie vig contest soon. No worries there. As for contests, we just ended four or five major ones, so the staff is taking a week break or so, but you'll see some good ones soon...

As for contests, we just ended four or five major ones, so the staff is taking a week break or so, but you'll see some good ones soon... YES! I WIN! Die fools! Die! :skull: Erm, sorry about that. But I think a movie contest would be great, using sigfigs perhaps or not? A Blacktron contest would be nice, but why don't we just go nuts and have a Space Theme contest where each person updates a theme of their choice with a set? I think it'd be great, it could run with or without categories too. Oh, and thanks to entire Staff team for doing all this too, you guys rarely get enough appreciation for all the work here, so thanks! Batbrick Away!

Yes that's fair enough, running all those contests must be hard work. My apologies if I appeared to be a poor, unknowing, annoying, frustrating, dragon-loving person. Well, actually I don't apologise for the dragon-loving bit, but I do for the rest. Take as much time as you like! YES! I WIN! Die fools! Die! :skull: I'm glad someone's happy. Erm, sorry about that. But I think a movie contest would be great, using sigfigs perhaps or not? It would be fun to perhaps use sig-figs. But then of course it wouldn't be accurate to the movie. You know, weren't we going to have another whack-a-fig contest? I missed out on the first one, and it would be very popular. A Blacktron contest would be nice, but why don't we just go nuts and have a Space Theme contest where each person updates a theme of their choice with a set? I think it'd be great, it could run with or without categories too. Yes, that would broaden it a bit, and allow for a wider audience. Although it is always easier to vote when the contestants have to build to a certain theme... Oh, and thanks to entire Staff team for doing all this too, you guys rarely get enough appreciation for all the work here, so thanks!Batbrick Away! Here here! Good job staff, keep it up!
May 25, 200816 yr Erm, sorry about that. But I think a movie contest would be great, using sigfigs perhaps or not? I don't see how using a sif-fig would work. Can't wait for the Comp!
May 26, 200816 yr Ok I got some more: 1) mini that contest: vote on lego sets and then which ever one wins, is the one every one has to make mini version of. 2) colect-o-contesto: vote on who has the biggest or best lego colection. 3) get a job!!! contest: what you do? ,your the lego employe creat a whole line of lego products (e.g. fairy tales (fairys, OBVIOUSLY!!), robo force (spaceish robots), steam leaders (steam punk)
June 22, 200816 yr Some people may not like this, but how about building a solution to the illegal immigration problem? I think we'd get some pretty creative ideas... Just an idea.
July 9, 200816 yr OK, here's my idea for a contest Star Wars Scene Contest OK here's the thing it's not for a prize or anything, cause I'm not sure what you guys want. So here's the rules..... You may build a scene from any of the Star Wars films, movies, cartoons, books, or make it up..... If you make it up, it must be either funny, serious or tragic It must be with Star Wars characters It can't be anything, but Star Wars There's no limit to how many figs you can put in it It must have a caption per each picture The captions must be at least three sentances or more This contest is for fun, not any real prize The deadline is a month from now...... What do you think?
July 10, 200816 yr How about a contest where you can build any MOC from any theme, but It can only be made of two colors? Minifigs and technic peices don't count.
July 10, 200816 yr I think a vig from a favorite movie contest would work really well, and it sounds like a lot of fun! Matrix, ON!! Edited July 10, 200816 yr by JimButcher
July 15, 200816 yr I just found out what V-Pods are (vignettes that use an X-Pod case as a base), and I love the idea! Therefore, I think it would be great if we would have some kind of V-Pod contest involving sigfigs! If you still don't know what V-Pods are like, click here to see some good examples I found on brickshelf. Oh, and I would like to bring the idea of a videogame related contest back up by suggesting a "Clash of the Games" contest, in which participants have to create a MOC where two or more different video games come together. This could result in some pretty hillarious combinations and would allow the contestants to create figs and/or MOCs of different videogames! I got the idea from the Robot Chicken sketch where Mario & Luigi get lost in the world of GTA. Edited July 27, 200816 yr by Oky Wan Kenobi
