Happy LEGO Halloween! Announcing the winner of the 1st Halloween Giveaway!

October 31, 2015 By Jay Ong 8 Comments

LEGO Halloween Minifigure Costumes

Happy Halloween!

To celebrate the Halloween festivities this year, I decided to hold the very first Jay’s Brick Blog Halloween giveaway, where I invited my awesome readers to dress up their minifigs in the most awesome Halloween costume to win a Trick or Treat set!

Firstly, I was absolutely blown away by the entries I received and had a great time looking through all the entries. The creativity that I was honoured to witness was incredible and I had such a great time everytime I saw a new entry in my Inbox.

So who won the 2015 Halloween giveaway?

To tell you the truth, I had an extremely difficult time picking a winner with so many quality entries to choose from. There was one standout entry that stood out from the rest.

And the winner is….!

Cato - Gumball Machine

Cato’s excellent Gumball Machine costume! Congratulations! A Trick or Treat set should be on the way to you in the mail!

But that’s not all. I had shortlisted 4 entries that were my top picks for the contest and because I was thoroughly blown away, I decided to award 3x Runner Up Prizes to those that didn’t quite make the cut. They each win 1x LEGO Series 14 minifigure!

Here are the 3 runners up.

Halloween Handoko - Zombie Star Wars (2)

Handoko’s Zombie Star Wars, which is a brilliant reimagining of this iconic Star Wars cast photo!

Halloween Handoko S (1)

Ken

Next up is Ken’s C3PO and R2-D2 in costume!

James - The Bounty Hunter

Lastly, the third and final runner up was James’ Bounty Hunter which looked amazingly cool and scary.

Congratulations again to all the winners!

I also want to feature all the other spectacular entries that I was sent. Thanks so much to everyone for joining in and I hope you guys had as much fun as I did. Kudos to everyone’s creative entries and I would love to do more giveaways like these in the future if possible.

Here we go, the very best of the Jay’s Brick Blog Halloween 2015 giveaway!

    Well done everybody! 🙂 And congrats to Cato’s excellent Gumball Machine costume! 😉 I have three questions Jay, 1) Is this the first competition you have done? 2) Will you do more in the future? (It was heaps of fun! :)) 3) Was that Trick or Treat set an official LEGO set?

      This is the first competition where I’ve asked people to submit entries! But yeah, I’m very pleased with the reception and will definitely do more in the future. I have plenty of stuff that I’d love to giveaway but sometimes I get lazy!

      Yup, it was an official LEGO set, only released on LEGO’s online store!

Here's a closer look at the minifigures in the set, and how they stack up against their real-life counterparts! 

The set celebrates these Icons of women's football, @samanthakerr20, @mrapinoe, @yuki_nagasato and @asisat_oshoala, and is set to be released on 6 June 2023!

Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands down one of THE best sets of 2023 and a gleaming beacon of just how far the LEGO Friends theme has matured. 

When you see the LEGO Friends Botanical Garden, it quickly becomes apparent that LEGO have something special on their hands with a design that's simply beautiful.

Hit the link in bio to read my full review!

It's truly a mark of a mature theme, that LEGO could debut a tasteful design like this into LEGO Friends, but crafted in such a way that it will also have broad appeal to City builders, or even fans who want a stunning architectural masterpiece to display their minifigures or minidolls in.

With so many amazing designs and sets being produced by Billund, 41757 Botanical Garden deservedly takes it's place as one of the best LEGO sets of 2023 and I can heartily recommend this set to everyone, and I have a gut feeling that this will be one of the best-selling LEGO Friends set of the year.

LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC Comics sets including the highly anticipated 76261 Spider-Man Final Battle featuring all 3 Spider-Man from No Way Home!

Got a chance to see a preliminary model of 76261 a few months ago, and while the minifigure lineup is impressive, the model is absolutely tiny.

Venomised Groot is super cute, and the Batwing is an absolute winner at this scale and price.

This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebratin This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebrating some of the most accomplished female football players.

It features minifigures of @samanthakerr20, @mrapinoe, @yuki_nagasato and @asisat_oshoala, and is set to be released on 6 June 2023! 

I read some extremely disgusting misogynistic comments on this set, from the usual terminally-online, incel-esque dudebros who probably need to get out a little.

Women's football is on the up and up, with exponential growth in game attendance, and TV viewership, and this is really smart timing on LEGO's part, releasing this just before the FIFA Women's World Cup starts.

Women's football has massive grassroots support, and is a hugely popular sport for young girls, the very builders of tomorrow that LEGO is continually trying to inspire.

LEGO is even a sponsor of the Australian national women's team @thematildas!

It's not even a bad set, and will integrate nicely into LEGO City, with clear references to the popular Football theme from the early 2000s.

Still, it's very disappointing (but not surprising) to see large LEGO pages continue to encourage and not take a stronger stance against sexism and misogyny. 

Do better with your influence and reach.
