    I just read a bunch of questions and comments on the contest site. Digitally created images are allowed as well as use of non-LEGO objects like rocks and trees. At the very least, you need “crooks” and “LEGO city mountain police,” for example, this guy:

    I got a mountain police set and I started working on my entry for this contest. 🙂

    I just bought the little set for the minifigs. I may try to do something for this also.

    Prizes are bomb. But I prefer the original Jailbreak Joe to whatever silly crooks they have these days…

    The mountain police contest has only been open a few days and there are already 169 entries. There will be a flurry of entries when the contest is closer to being over. 😉

    I thought I had a good entry for this contest but then I reread the rules and realized that no licensed minifig parts are useable. I had this great hair piece that I wanted to use, but I determined that the hair only came in Exo-Force sets, which is not a LEGO trademark, it is licensed from Japanese animation.

    Btw, space guys, the next Rebrick contest is called Great Moments in Space: https://www.lego.com/en-us/rebrick/contest-page

    I spent several hours building and lying in the melting snow this weekend.

    @greg, Look great.

    I did a layout in the snow before it melted earlier this week. And entered:

    Duncan, that’s fantastic! The snow looks great and I am envious that you have a bear. I spotted two more snow-blending creatures.

    I had too much depth in my scene and could not get the bad guys’ expressions into focus, but yours turned out perfectly. :O

    Thanks Greg. I took about 60 shots and used the ones that came out in focus with descent lighting. I had to keep adding more snow as it was starting to warm up as I was shooting.

    I’ve never entered their contests before. Did you get a confirmation email or anything?

    Totally loving the Narwhal in the background!

    Because they allow you to include up to five photographs, my entry for the Mountain Police Chase is a story. I started with a five panel storyboard and then frantically composed and photographed everything last weekend … before the snow melted. 🙂

    This is the climax of the story. (If you have daughters, you should recognize the building in the foreground.)

    I know you are dying to see how this story plays out, so I won’t hold back the ending any longer.

    That’s sexist. Boys can like Frozen, too.

    Wait… what “mistake” did they make?

    oooOOOooohhh. See, that happened way back in Panel 4, so I didn’t realize it was connected directly to their capture…
