You may submit multiple entries to the contest, but only one entry per person will be considered when winners are selected. This means you cannot win as a semi-finalist and as the grand prize winner with two different entries. At the beginning of the year, we got the first large wave of 2018 sets, but LEGO saved some exciting happenings for February as well. So, let’s take a look at all the interesting new sets and promotions during the month! 🙂 Your contest entries and comments on contest entries must follow the complete LEGO Ideas House Rules.

The # 21310 LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Storedidn’t surprise me with anything particularly unique when it comes to techniques. This is understandable, as it was a fan-submitted model to begin with. I did find it interesting that the roof just rests on the building, and that it uses clips and bars for its peak. I also like how the door/wall opens up for accessibility, but this can be seen in other toy buildings as well. While the #21310 LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store may not be a source of unique techniques, it utilizes existing techniques to their full potential. In this regard, it is closer to fan-created models compared to official LEGO sets. ENTRY DEADLINE: Submit your entry no later than February 9, 2018 at 6:00 a.m. EST. If you’re not sure what time zone you’re in, here’s a time zone converter. Entries consisting of or containing copies of any existing third-party work or creation, or infringements of any third party intellectual property right will not be eligible for the contest (this includes references to Intellectual Property such as Star Wars or NASA). Voting Phase– Rally your friends to vote for your entry before February 19th, 2018 at 6:00 a.m. EST. The top 25 entries will be advanced to the Judging phase. Winners Announcement - We share the grand prize winner and ten runner up winners here on LEGO Ideas!If you win and your entry can be adapted into a set, a LEGO designer will consult with you regarding your model. Your model may be altered to fit LEGO design standards and any Minifigures in your entry might be changed or removed depending on current piece availability.

A panel of judges including members of the LEGO Extended Line team and LEGO designers will choose a grand prize winner and ten runner up winners based on:It’s not that LEGO designers aren’t putting their full effort into a project they are tasked to work on, but it is a very different experience compared to building something where you have intimate knowledge and love of the subject, and you have full reign over how much time, money, and effort you put into it. This makes fan-creations often appear significantly more authentic and closer to the real thing than what LEGO can typically produce themselves. LEGO IDEAS SHIP IN A BOTTLE AVAILABLE: The #21313 LEGO Ideas Ship In A Bottle set is now available! The set was originally submitted to the LEGO Ideas platform by LEGO fan Jacob Sadovich from Idaho, achieved 10,000 public votes, and was selected by LEGO to become an official set. I have included the designer-video of the set below, and you can find it under the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
