Iron Builder: Round 1 results

The world heavyweight of LEGO® building contests, Iron Builder is underway and the results of the first round in the Iron Forge are in! There were 120 entries from over 60 builders and only the top 20 progress to Round 2, which whittles the 20 down to eight.

The seed part was minifigure legs. Here are the 20 winners in no particular order, other than that we have arranged them into the groups they will be completing within in the next round. Bring on the NPU!

Top 20 builders, Iron Forge Round 1

Some builders are bred for greatness, and others are just bread to be toasted. It's a Wonder some have even made it this far... "Boom! Toasted!"

"Alright guys, you can leave now. Show is over.
Oh and let me take a seat and enjoy your fighting, as it's all a joke to me."

To use some legs is here the quest - so look who I found with his treasure chest!

The pirates also wanna join in...

[Editor's note: There's also a video showing how Ben used official LEGO magnets in this model. The ship contains the accessory that holds the golden egg from 4767 Harry and the Hungarian Horntail and the base uses a train magnet.]

Are you feeling stir crazy during this social-distancing time? Shake things up with a movie night at home. It can be a great bonding experience.

I’ll leg you see the types of ways this seed part can be used by forcing you to look at it from my perspective

"You might have had feelings of A New Hope,
might have thought your builds were dope,
but - sorry - I've got to Strike Back,
enter me - with the Return of the Leg!"

I seriously don't know what you guys are all quarreling about? Meanwhile I'm hanging out in my Gardens.

Oh don`t mind me, just doing a fly-by while the rest of you still have your legs safely on the ground

The Iron forge can be a draining experience, but I'm here to clean up the competition and rinse out the riff raff. So you all had better brush up on your buildings skills!

So what's next? Round 2 seed parts are the hammer and wrench!
