LEGO Ideas has launched a new contest over at its blog site. The LEGO Ideas Out of this World Space Build contest challenges LEGO fan builders to come up with their next fan entry that may eventually turn out to be the next LEGO gift-with-purchase (GWP) set.
Similar to the LEGO Vintage Car (40448), this contest seeks to tap into the creative side of LEGO fans by allowing talented builders to come up with their best entries yet. The LEGO Ideas Out of this World Space Build contest also pushes the bar higher by providing a set of limits for the number of LEGO pieces that can be used: ranging from 150 to 250 bricks, no more no less. This piece count somewhat approximates that of a small to medium-sized set, similar to previous GWP sets.
Aside from the Grand Prize winner, there will be five runner-ups that will be recognized, and the prizes that await them does not disappoint as well. And like previous LEGO Ideas building contests, tons of great LEGO sets are up for grabs for the winning entries.
Other than the perpetual bragging right of having your creation rendered to an official LEGO set, the Grand Prize winner will receive the following space-inspired LEGO sets:
- 10 copies of the final LEGO Ideas Gift with Purchase set based on the grand prize winner’s entry
- LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (92176)
- LEGO Ideas International Space Station (21321)
- LEGO Creator Expert NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander (10266)
- LEGO Star Wars Imperial TIE Fighter (75300)
- Space Rocket Ride (40335)
- Vintage Car (40448)
- LEGO Ideas tote bag
The sweet prizes that await the five runner-ups are also equally appealing. Each of them will receive:
- LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (92176)
- LEGO Star Wars Knights of Ren™ Transport Ship (75284)
- LEGO City Mars Research Shuttle (60226)
- Space Rocket Ride (40335)
- Vintage Car (40448)
- LEGO Ideas tote bag
The deadline for entry for this contest is on or before March 8, 2021, at 6 AM EST. For the rest of the contest guidelines and on how to submit your entry, be sure to go through the building contest rules right here.
