MKJoshA Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) "They're supposed to be great warriors... Clever, resourceful, proud, intensely loyal to one another, too." - Zahn Special challenge, from now till July 31st you can earn double XP (and double IP if built on an eligible planet). The only criteria is your MOC must include a Chiss depicted in such a way that he/she matches the description given by Timothy Zahn above. You don't have to use the official Thrawn minifigure for this. Only a blue head or blue hands are required. You can use a hood, not show the face, or some other clever way. Blue hands are currently available in the Benny minifigure in the space battle pack from the Lego Movie 2. Please include the word "Chiss" in your entry title to ensure you get double XP.

MKJoshA Posted August 21, 2019 Author Posted August 21, 2019 "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." Special challenge, from now till August 31st you can earn double XP (and double IP if built on an eligible planet). The only criteria is your MOC must be set on a planet known for its sand. Please include the word "Sand" in your entry title to ensure you get double XP. Quote
Moff Wibbles Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Well, that's fun. I did a little diorama a week ago that had a sandy base, and I was waiting for the right time to post it up :) Quote
MKJoshA Posted September 23, 2019 Author Posted September 23, 2019 "Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!" Okay, wrong movie but the quote fits. Special challenge, from now till Oct 6th you can earn double XP (and double IP if built on an eligible planet). The only criteria is your MOC must include a microscale ship. Our hope is that they can compliment your SHIPtember ship if you are building one. And if you aren't you can still build microscale! Please include the word "Microscale" in your entry title to ensure you get double XP. Quote
goatman461 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 https://discord.gg/jwp7zwC I'm going to try to make more announcements on this server to help keep people in the loop. If you use Discord, I could use your help. Quote
MKJoshA Posted November 5, 2019 Author Posted November 5, 2019 "Stormtroopers travel in squads of nine." -Stackpole Special challenge, from now till Nov 14th you can earn double XP (and double IP if built on an eligible planet). The only criteria is your MOC include 9 Stormtroopers. You don't have to own 9 official Stormtrooper figs, you can show 9 troopers off duty in civilian clothes. Please include the word "Stormtroopers" in your entry title and submit it under the Special Challenge option on the form to ensure you get double XP. This is a great way to show off a Mandalorian taking out a squad. Because... you know... The Mandalorian comes out soon. (sorry to those not in the US!) Quote
MKJoshA Posted November 6, 2019 Author Posted November 6, 2019 An additional clarification for the Nov challenge. Any version of Trooper found after the destruction of the Death Star is allowed (so no Clonetroopers). Snowtroopers, Sandtroopers, Patrol Troopers, etc. are allowed. But all 9 most be of the same type. So no mixing Snow and Patrol Troopers. Also, you can use First Order troops. We want to allow for builders who may have only started collecting troops more recently and may have a larger collection of Ep 7-9 sets than OT sets. For sake of the Factions timeline, you can say that someone has a premonition or a vision about things to come. Let me know if you have any other questions! Quote
goatman461 Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) New Limited Challenge for December. Build a landspeeder and include it in your latest build for double XP (and double IP if on an eligible planet). One entry per builder. Include "Landspeeder" in your title. Deadline December 21st. If I were you, I'd stay off the ice... Edited November 29, 2019 by goatman461 Quote
Ross Fisher Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 @goatman461 cool challenge, thanks! How heavily will you be penalizing the difference between landspeeders, airspeeders, truckspeeders, etc? Quote
goatman461 Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Airspeeders don't count. I guess truckspeeders are fine (I didn't know that was a thing). Think flying car or bike, not flying plane or spaceship. Quote
Darth Bjorn Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Take a look here: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Speeder So don't make cloud cars and snow speeders... Quote
MKJoshA Posted December 1, 2019 Author Posted December 1, 2019 The intention was to have people make a landspeeder. Not an airspeeder, snow speeder, or cloud car. Examples of landspeeders are the X-34 that Luke drives in a New Hope, the Flash Speeder from Phantom Menace, and the M-68 Han drives at the beginning of Solo. Quote

Just to clarify - @goatman461 says speeder bikes (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Speeder_bike), and speeder trucks (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Speeder_truck) are included in this challenge. It sounds like you only want landspeeders @MKJoshA ... So is this challenge 1) Landspeeders only or 2) Landspeeders, speeder bikes, and speeder trucks. Thanks - and sorry for hair-splitting... Quote
Ross Fisher Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 @Darth Bjorn Oh, hold up, Speeder Bikes are ok? Hadn't realised that! That changes things! Quote
goatman461 Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 @MKJoshA are speeder bikes okay with you? We never specified while planning a “Speeder” challenge Quote

goatman461 Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Just do a landspeeder and make this less complicated Quote

Ross Fisher Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Are we going to do another limited time challenge for Feb? Just so we can coordinate faction movements over the next few weeks. Quote
goatman461 Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Maybe. It’s meant to be a surprise and time constrained Quote
MKJoshA Posted February 13, 2020 Author Posted February 13, 2020 Credit to EB user Veynom for the picture. Not everyone in the galaxy can afford starfighters straight off the assembly line. Some can't even afford them at used prices. So when push comes to shove people get resourceful. Cobbled together from crash-sites, junkyards, or old collections, Uglies are any combination of two or more starfighters. Feel free to use your parts of your entries from the last contest for this one. Just make sure you let us know which two starfighters you're combining! Special challenge, from now till Feb 28th you can earn double XP (and double IP if built on an eligible planet). The only criteria is your MOC include an Ugly. Please include the word "Ugly" in your entry title and submit it under the Special Challenge option on the form to ensure you get double XP. Quote
