This contest is now closed. View the entries here.We're having a contest! Remember the large new hull element from The LEGO® Movie 2 70821 Emmet and Benny's ‘Build and Fix' Workshop? It was dismissed by many as a “juniorised” POOP part... but what if it actually opens up new creative possibilities?
So we're asking you to make an amazing LEGO® creation using this strange new element in our Build and Fix contest; we want you to BUILD something to FIX those negative opinions of this element by showing just how imaginatively it can be used!
LEGO prizes to be won!

I built a spaceship using this part a week or two ago and uploaded pictures to Flickr. Can I enter that in the contest, or does the build have to be started and completed after the contest announcement (that is, today)?
ReplyDeleteThat's okay. Thanks for checking!
DeleteThe one image per entry must be a single framed shot, right? It can't be a composite showing the creation from different angles?
ReplyDeleteCorrect, thanks for checking, I will update T&Cs.
DeleteDoes the part have to be in Light Stone Grey or can it be any colour?
ReplyDeleteAny.
DeleteSince the seed part is a POOP, is it alright to build the model using a nearly identical stand-in built out of other parts, or only using the exact seed part? I like building physically, but I don't have the part. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo - it's essential the seed part is used.
DeleteThis really is a tricky one...there's not a lot that can be built with this that couldn't be built wihh smaller parts do really justifying the part beyond ease and stability is tough.
ReplyDeleteThat said I'm a sucker for punishment so going to do my best. I do have a bit of an idea brewing, not sure how well it's likely to come off though.. M
Agreed, we are hard taskmasters. We ask a lot of our poor readers!
DeleteIf I build digitally can I use any part in any color? Even parts that doesnt exist in the given color?
ReplyDeleteYes, including the seed part.
DeleteThe “best picture of the seed part” need to be a picture of the angle in which you can see it the best or a picture on which it looks the best?
ReplyDeleteBoth in a way. We're interested in how you've used it. So probably the latter, so long as we can see it.
DeleteAh yes I recall this piece wish I had one for my son.
ReplyDeleteI built a long space ship with large blue wings with red layer wings to add flare of course as a kid I built 7 rocket boosters with flames.
(End of the day I just wanted to buy more)
This element is a new element for this year. You and your son should have a go at building something cool for our competition.
DeleteI commented on your Instagram recently to say I was still waiting on my bricks and pieces order to arrive with the parts... due to lego having a shipping delay. You said over there you may extend the contest by a little bit to allow the unfortunate entries of people left waiting by lego. Any chance you've decided on this. I have all but the seed part now built and I'd hate to see my efforts go to waste. Please consider extending atleast to the end of March.
ReplyDeleteAh ok, Nick's arrived so I hoped yours had as well. Have they given an indication or can they not tell you that?
DeleteThey have (finally) shipped today. So based on past experience it will be between Friday 22nd and the Tuesday 26th.
DeleteI did a small comic in addition to the contest - it's not meant to be part of the contest I just thought you may enjoy it :-)

Is there any place where I could find all entries? I didn't find anything, but I'm very interested seeing tge ideas for this ugly piece..
ReplyDeleteMTM
They will be published here on the blog later thus week
DeleteI was just about to ask the same question. I have already seen a couple of awesome designs mostly on Instagram.
