Note: This contest is now closed - results can be found here.

In celebration of the 2014 Comic-Con International: San Diego, Brickipedia is hosting a Comic-Con contest in association with The LEGO Group, who have generously supplied the prizes. To enter, you will need to create an original battle machine, using parts found in two LEGO sets from the same theme.

Eligible entries:

Must have a registered Brickimedia account. If you do not have an account, you can sign up here.
Must have at least one photograph of the set. For the judges to better-judge your entry(ies), it's better if you take multiple photos from various angles. To upload images to our site, please click here. If you need assistance adding it to your entry page, leave a comment below and/or come ask us in our chatroom.
While you are free to use Flickr, Brickshelf or other image hosting services, it is recommended that you have a valid page on Brickimedia Customs. If you are unsure of how to create a valid page, administrators on Brickipedia or Brickimedia Customs will be more than happy to assist. Leave a comment below or ask for assistance in our chatroom.
To be counted, you need to leave a comment below, linking to your entry, and stating which two sets you used for your battle machine.
- If you wish to link to a page on Brickimedia Customs, you can simply copy/paste the URL, or use [[c:name of your page here]].
Should use a variety of parts from both selected sets.
Should be some sort of "battle machine" or "mech". How you want to interpret this is entirely up to you.
Must use official LEGO elements (TECHNIC, Mindstorms, DUPLO, etc. are acceptable), but contestants will be disqualified if bricks from clone brands are used. Digital renderings and LEGO Digital Designer projects will also not be accepted in this contest.
You may make up to three entries, with a maximum of one entry per category: Star Wars, Super Heroes (DC Universe and/or Marvel) and Middle Earth (The Lord of the Rings and/or The Hobbit).

The contest will run from 0:00 July 15 (UTC) to 23:59 July 27 (UTC), and results will be posted on July 28 with winners also notified on their talk pages. Any entries submitted after this time will not be considered for judging, and any changes made to customs after the closing date will not be counted.

The prizes for this contest are:

Best Star Wars MOC:
75050 B-wing
Best Super Heroes MOC:
76020 Knowhere Escape Mission
Best Middle-Earth MOC:
79012 Mirkwood Elf Army

Entries will be judged by a panel of three judges on their creativity and design.

If you have any questions or require any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact an administrator.

"Must use official LEGO elements (TECHNIC, Mindstorms, DUPLO, etc. are acceptable)." Just realized the implications of this line. XD Who's entering the Duplo DC battle machine?

(The Mindstorms Dark Side set mixed with another SW one would also have been awesome...)

I've moved the images around for you, but (the rules changed a little since you started I think), you no longer need a customs page to enter. So if its easier for you, you can use Flickr or Brickshelf or similar. :)

The format should be fine now. I altered the rating to reflect the fact that the page is up to standards, though it doesn't seem to be updating on my end.

If this counts, my model features pieces from Star Wars sets 10188, 7140 and 7930. Here is the page below with plenty of images and details. Let me know if anything is wrong with this submission, as I could make one that complies with the rules if needed:

A couple of small questions, when creating said MOC, are we supposed to simply use two random pieces that /appear/ in a SW/SH/LotR set, or that are /exclusive/ to them? Also, do decals count as exclusive pieces? And lastly, can this MOC be started from scratch or does it have to be based off of a set already released (Basically a set remix)? Preferably just a normal MOC with two SW/SH/LotR exclusive pieces/decals, but want to make sure I'm doing this right.

As the person who wrote the rules is no longer here, who knows? :P I assume appears in the sets? Otherwise you'd be very limited in parts if they had to be exclusive, no?

For your last question, the rules state that it "Should be some sort of "battle machine" or "mech". How you want to interpret this is entirely up to you", so I assume that your MOC should be made from scratch.

It seems that you already know how to upload files, so I'll assume you're having no problems with that at the moment. :) For adding them to the page, just add the name (minus the "File:" bit) to the infobox next to the "image=" line. If you want to add additional photos, create a "==Gallery==" section, and then do the following.

<gallery>
filename (again, minus the "File:")
filename#2
etc.
</gallery>

Hope this helps. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. :)

The easiest way to do it is to go to Brickimedia Customs, and on the main page where it says "Submit a custom", type the name of what you're creating and click the button. Then you can click the button "Set" beside the label "Preloadable topic outlines". From there, all you really have to do is fill in the information. If you need any more help, let me know. :)

I'd rather see you enter something like you were talking about on chat. There's only room for 3 judges, and 4 admins volunteered ahead of time so I'm pretty sure we're covered as far as judging goes.

The only Star Wars sets I have at my disposal right now are the UCS B-wing and the mini B-wing from the planets series. I combined them, so can I win the B-wing prize? :O

Or can I win ALL THE PRIZES???

Anyways, I might enter something serious later. If not I may be a judge idk
