Brickset - Mighty Micros building competition

Let's Build A Superhero Mighty Micro Vehicle

Over at Brickset there is a Mighty Micro vehicle building competition.

http://brickset.com/article/19684/mighty-micros-building-competition

Mighty Micros is a new series of Lego Superhero sets (both Marvel and DC) which have two vehicles, one superhero and one supervillain. The minifigures have a more cartoony feel to them compared to the normal Superhero minifigs.

The competition is to construct a Mighty Micro vehicle based on a comic book character who does not yet have one. This can be for a character from Marvel or DC, a hero or a villain, or something in between. It could be for someone who already has a Lego minifigure representation or someone who doesn't. 

Thanks to the LEGO ARP Team they are able to offer some fantastic prizes to the winners, which are as follows:

  • 1st place - 76052 Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave
  • 2nd place - 76047 Black Panther Pursuit
  • 3rd place - A set of Series 15 Collectable Minifigures

Requirements:

  • The model must follow the design ethos of the Mighty Micros range.
  • The wheel base must be only four studs in length, using parts 4600, 6157 or the new wheel base introduced with the Mighty Micros.
  • Minifigures need not be included but there should be a 1x2 space which a standing minifigure could occupy.

  • Upload a maximum of three photos of your entry to the Brickset Flickr group or post on Instagram with the hashtag #BricksetCompetition
