Two big headaches

Double Jump is Crises' entry for the Klocki sports building contest.



In a vig by Vdude, Joe Vig is about to have a close encounter with a Meteor.

Sporting vigs

Two vigs with athletic themes, one explicitly and the other potentially for the Klocki z Czuba Sports building contest: Iskra's Shark swimming and Crises' Golf.

Eury Potter and the Deathly Contests

Two deathly contests are starting over on Eurobricks. The Whack-a-Fig contest invites members to commit acts of violence on other members' sigfigs in vig form. The Kill Jar-Jar contest is hopefully self-explanatory. Early entries from Dillon and Sirnadroj.

V is for Vig

Nwrabe has come up with a great new idea, Alpha-Vignettes, or vigs shaped like letters. I think my personal favorite might be the S.

Klocki contest

One of my favorite LEGO blogs, Klocki Lego dla dorosłych, is celebrating their 6-month anniversary by joining with a Polish sports blog, zczuba.pl, to sponsor a Sports building contest. One of the three categories asks you to create a 16x16 bignette of a sports scene. You've got a month to submit your entry; we'll be watching along and reporting on the action.

Golden C3PO raffle

LEGO is using gold plated C3PO minifigs in a number of promotions. In the US you can get one by buying a new Star Wars set, with the gold figures found in approximately 1 in 250 sets. In Europe, you can enter a raffle by building a vig to feature C3PO. All entries will be posted in this gallery. Unfortunately the names are not given, so I cannot give proper credit to all of the AFOLs who built these:

I've been waiting, for a girl like you

A few days ago I posted on the Lowlug Mini MOC Madness contest. This was won by Martin Jaspers' Delay, but I could not directly link to the picture. I asked Martin if he could post his MOC on Brickshelf and he was nice enough to do so, so here it is.

Dimension Bley

As Simon Jackson (Tzidik) describes Dimension Bley, "Two work men stumble across an alternate Dimension in an abandoned space Station, Where nothing is quite like it seems....."

Where's Walldo?

MMMissed it

Hmm, somehow I missed this. Lowlug, a Dutch LEGO group, recently held their Mini MOC Madness, or MMM contest. This contest each year challenges entrants to build 16x16 scenes based on a theme, which this year was "on vacation". And the winner is Marakoeschtra (Martin Jaspers), with his Delay.

For some reason I'm not able to directly link the photo off of Lowlug's site, so you'll have to go there to see his entry. When he posts it somewhere like Brickshelf or Flickr I'll be sure to highlight it here.

Coming in at a very close second (by only one vote) is Jovel's Oh what fun, a ravine. (BTW, I'd be happy to be corrected on my translations, which used the AltaVista Babel Fish engine.)
