Lady Liberty on vacation

Sorry about the lack of blog posts for three weeks, life has been hectic. In the meantime I've bookmarked a lot of MOCs to put here. For instance, Carnigee77 built Statue of Liberty Returns to France.

Big_Sal_224 is Off Duty.

Roller Coaster

Ian Spacek made this Roller Coaster.

Time to vote

It's time to vote on the Eurobricks Collectible Minifig Contest series 7, 8 and 9. There are a ton of great entries, some of which I've already featured - I've got to go back and post a lot of the others. By far the darkest entry is Mr Bill's businessman. Remember, the rules for this contest specify that you don't actually include the collectible fig. Imagine the businessman "at an upside down or cockeyed position at the end of the clear rod coming from the roof overhang".

Down the rabbit hole

Spidertoutouille made this rabbit hole for the most recent Eurobricks Collectible contest. Too bad there's not a pic of the whole thing including the rabbit.

Eurobricks Collectible Contest

Over on Eurobricks they are holding another Collectible Fig Contest, challenging you to build vigs to house the figs from Series 7, 8 and 9.

Eurobricks in down contest

Last week, when Eurobricks was down for a few days, an impromptu vig contest sprang up on Flickr. Now that the forum is back up, you can see all of the entries and vote on a winner. What do you do when your favorite LEGO forum goes off line? Some people get busy building, others just panic and bang their heads against the wall.

Where am I?

Little Bricker asks Where am I? for MOColympics.

Summertime

Well, the first day of school is only a couple of days away, so it's time to bid adieu to the summer. There are some great vigs in the Toys n Bricks Summer Contest including Mista_Carrot's remembrance of the family road trip. Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Time to vote

It is time to vote in the Eurobricks Collectible Series 6 Contest. Follow the link to see all the vignette entries.

Eurobricks Series 6 Contest

There are only a few more days to enter the Eurobricks Collectible Minifigures Series 6 contest. As with their previous contests, you are challenged to build a vig to house one of the latest series of Collectible Minifigs. Some entries include Oky's Area 51



Skaftepetter's flamenco dancer


and Scootercide's dream.

This vig will scare my son

Pascal made housework for his Iron Builder face-off.



BTW, on the title, my toddler son hates hates hates the vacuum cleaner. He always runs up to his room when we're cleaning.

Collectible Contest 6

Eurobricks has announced the Eurobricks Collectable LEGO Minifigures Series 6 Building Contest. Create a vig as a setting for one of the new Collectible figs.

Ai se eu te apanho!!

Luis Baixinho made Ai se eu te apanho!! for a space contest over on Comunidade 0937. Google translate says this means "oh if I get you!", but maybe Luis or someone else who speaks Portuguese can give a better translation.

And the winner is ...

Finishing up the Eurobricks Collectible Fig Series 5 results, first place was claimed by Cecile's Godzilla.
"Honey, dinner is ready!"
"Graaaawwwwrrr... *caugh* I mean, I'll be right down!"
"Are you playing Godzilla with your LEGO town again?"
"eh...."
"You better not come down here in that costume!"

Eurobricks winners

Continuing on with the top entries in the Collectible Series 5 Vig contest, 3rd place went to Dan Church's Pharaoh Queen entry.

And 2nd place went to bellis' Eskimo entry.

Collectible fig vig 5

Over on Eurobricks they held another of their series of contests, challenging members to build a vig to feature of the series 5 Collectible Minifigs. Well, the winners are in. Let's take a look at a couple each day.

5th place went to Ninja Nin's zookeeper entry


4th place went to Cornelius Murdock's detective entry (obviously set at Reichenbach Falls).

Polish history

Over on LugPol they are having a contest to create MOCs based on alternative versions of Polish history. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about Poland's past, so I don't know what's going on in Jantin's entry, but I certainly like how he combined 8 interesting vigs into one overall MOC.

It's alive!

Eurobricks is having another of their Collectible Fig Contests, this time for Series 4. As with previous contests, the idea is that you build a vig to house one of the new Collectibles. For instance, Titolian made Frankenstein's Lab to house the monster.

This vig isn't big enough for both of us

Jalkow made this showdown for a LowLUG contest a couple of years ago.
