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

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!

    These are all awesome!

    …Why didn’t I enter this again?

    WHY DID I CHOOSE NOT TO ENTER?

    (Oh, yeeaaaah, my parent’s internet privacy rules. I still regret my decision.)

One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 M One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 Marina Bay Sands! 🇸🇬 

Singapore celebrates their National Day on 9 August, and to mark the occasion, I've dug into my vault to showcase the Marina Bay Sands, one of Singapore's contemporary architectural landmarks! 

Released in 2014, it's notorious for being one of the most sought-after Architecture sets, because only 10,000 copies were made.

To make matters worse, they sold exclusively in Asia in countries like Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and the Marina Bay Sands gift shop!

Thankfully, LEGO released a newer 21057 Singapore Skyline earlier this year which also includes the Marina Bay Sands, but this is a relic from an era where LEGO had regional exclusives in their portfolio.

Happy National Day, Singapore!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing @little.ongs play with 10305 Lion Knights' Castle, which I've conveniently left in an easy to access spot in the house. 

While yes, this set is big and meant for adults, the playability and story-telling is so native to kids that it's a great set to share with your kids if you have any.

👑 Having THE definitive LEGO Castle being ruled by Queen Lionne also sends a great message to little girls and a fantastic celebration of #lego90years 

10305 Lion Knights' Castle launches today for VIPs and if you're lucky enough to be in the position to pick one up, I hope you enjoy and savour every moment of the build of what is quite possibly my favourite set of 2022.
