MINIFIGURE BOOK: SITE CONTEST

[Ed Mack]

Hello LEGO fans..  It’s been a little over a year since Jeff and I started working on our first book, The Ultimate Guide to Collectible LEGO Sets: Identification and Price Guide.  Well, after a year and a half, the book is now available at retail and is selling briskly.  We would like to thank everyone who has bought a copy and hope you have enjoyed the book.  Krause Publishing did a very nice job with our book in my opinion and is seeing strong sales, strong enough to ask us to do a second book.

The new book will concentrate on the classic LEGO minifigure (...and maxifigure) and their values and unique features that make them valuable on LEGO secondary marketplaces.  The book will be done in a similar fashion as our first book...basically including most major LEGO themes and the important minifigures from each theme.  We are looking to discuss hundreds of special minifigures and will have a price guide that covers many of the major minifigures.  

But unlike our first book which gravitated towards more text and analysis than pictures, this book will make the photos of the minifigures the focal point of the book.  This book will be a hardcover book, with higher quality images and page finish.  While there will be plenty of data and analysis, the publisher wanted to put LEGO minifigures in “creative LEGO” and “real world” scenes or dioramas, besides having the traditional body shot of a minifigure found on Brickset or Bricklink.  

The creations of French photographer, Samsofy Pardugato, is an excellent example of mixing real world situations with LEGO minifigures and coming up with a dynamic photograph.  Here are a few of his works and you can check out more example here…

A person can also create a wonderful photograph with just LEGO sets, pieces and minifigures.  Here are examples illustrating such techniques…

 

As I stated above, there will be dozens and dozens of important, unique and valuable minifigures discussed in the book and not all will receive special treatment, but quite a few will and this is where Jeff and I need YOUR help.  We need the help of those LEGO fans and collectors out there that have a creative flair for photography and we are willing to offer fame and fortune for it...LOL.

Jeff and I are going to run LEGO photography “contest” for any person who wants to give it a shot.  We are looking for people to come up with “creative LEGO” and “real world” scenes or dioramas for each one of the below themes:

• ADVENTURERS
• AGENTS/ULTRA AGENTS
• ATLANTIS/AQUA RAIDERS
• AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER
• BATMAN
• BIONICLE
• CASTLE
• CITY
• COLLECTIBLE MINIFIGURES(CMFs)
• COMIC CON, TOY FAIR & CONVENTION
• CREATOR
• DIMENSIONS
• DINO/JURASSIC WORLD
• DISNEY PRINCESSES
• ELVES
• EXO-FORCE
• FRIENDS
• HARRY POTTER
• HERO FACTORY
• IDEAS/CUUSOO
• INDIANA JONES
• LEGENDS OF CHIMA
• LORD OF THE RINGS/THE HOBBIT
• MONSTER FIGHTERS
• NINJAGO
• PIRATES/PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
• POWER MINERS
• RACERS
• SCOOBY-DOO
• SEASONAL
• SPACE
• SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS
• STAR WARS
• SUPERHEROES
• TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
• THE LEGO MOVIE
• THE LONE RANGER
• THE SIMPSONS
• TOY STORY
• MAXIFIGURES
• VINTAGE PRE 2000 MINIFIGURES
• MISCELLANEOUS MINIFIGURES and THEME
• COUNTERFEITS

Each new chapter will have one of these creative LEGO minifigure action scenes or dioramas attached to it in some manner, whether it’s in the introduction or later in the chapter.  Some major themes might have multiple “special” images.  These creations should include one or more minifigures from that theme.  That is really the only rule for these images.  They have to have theme based minifigures in the photos.  

Besides the major creative layouts in each chapter, we will discuss dozens and dozens of other important minifigures that require high quality photos.  Examples of these can be seen here:

 

 

These can also be creative in nature, but they don’t have to be.  Sometimes, a quality high resolution photo of a cool minifigure speaks volumes. Specific minifigures that will be discussed in the book will be released to those who are interested by contacting Jeff or I.  I have a list for each theme and will be looking for quite a few to be honest.  Feel free to share any ideas that you have.  

As for the contest itself, there will be various prizes.  First off, each person who sends in a photograph that gets accepted by the publishers to use in the chapter introductions, which focus on real life images & LEGO dioramas, will get a “Limited Edition” book and a special call out in the book.  Basically, there will be a small bio for each person who submits winning photos in the book.  Each one of these “special” photos will  have a title and breakdown of minifigures in the image, so we can make a proper “blurb or call out” on the page.  The photographer’s name will also accompany these images.  

The TOP TEN images (in any form) that we receive will win a $100.00 LEGO or Amazon Gift Certificate each.  Judging will be done by the publishers and one person can win multiple prizes for multiple submissions.  There will be a BRICKPICKER GRAND PRIZE WINNER of a $500.00 LEGO or Amazon Gift Card.  This award will be chosen by Jeff and I and will go to the person who go above and beyond everyone else.  Maybe it’s a few exceptional photos.  Maybe it’s about dozens of solid images that can be used in the minifigure write ups and analysis or any combination thereof.  We will take a look at all submissions and all will be taken into consideration, tracked and figured into the final judging.

Lastly, I just want to say that Jeff and I want to make this a special LEGO “community” book.  We fought hard to make it a hardcover and upscale, visual book.  Here is an opportunity to make some money and gain some recognition as well.  Many of you are way more talented than Jeff and I and can create custom MOCs and images that we can only dream of making.  Now is the time to show off your creativity and let the world see your creations.

This contest will start immediately and run through the end of January at this point.  Changes in the schedule will be dependent on response from LEGO fans, but we will need time to sort through the images and put them together for the book publishers.  Winners will be announced in late Spring, after the publishers put out a rough draft of the book.  The book will be available for purchase next Fall.  Please, any questions or ideas, please ask and Jeff and I (and Krause Publishing) will try to answer them.   Good luck and happy photographing...

Very cool. I'll have to start thinking up some ideas for my submissions

[Ed Mack]

The above pictures are great for the individual minifigure discussion/analysis and would work well in portions of the book, but we would like to mix in some custom shots as well.  Here are some more creative examples of how you can make a common Collectible Minifigure like Medusa or Bumblebee Girl a more interesting photograph and one that would work well in this book....

[seapotato]

Sounds like fun!

[Fcbarcelona101]

Good stuff. Photography is not my thing, but look forward to see what other forum members can bring to the table! 

[VIPTechKid96]

Can a photograph have minifigures/bigfigs/dinos from different franchises? Cos' I have an idea which consists of characters of different franchises.

I don't see why not.  If LEGO is involved, the photo is creative and relative to what we are trying to accomplish, that is fine.  In the end, it will be up to the publishers to decide what photos make it in the book.

[Ed Mack]

I just wanted to remind people that you can win MULTIPLE TIMES!  Possibly $1500.00 worth of prizes!

[Prairie]

Are Belville and Technic figures excluded, only minifigures or maxifigures? Meh.

[puvel]

What if one of the pictures gets chosen but isn’t used in the chapter introductions? 

[Alpinemaps]

Here's a question - can we do minifigs mute MOC's? For I use all authentic Lego parts to make a wholly new creation, would you want that?

For example, it might be using authentic parts to create a superhero that doesn't current exist as a mini figure.

[Tjcjmay]

I have a few questions regarding this contest and would appreciate it greatly if one of you could reply. 

First off: Can I submit a picture that I have already uploaded to another site like Flickr?

And second: Can I add visual enhancements and effects (eg. glowing eyes, si-fi lasers etc...) to my photo? Or does it all have to be in-camera?

My personal opinion and Ed can voice his own if he feels differently.

1. We would prefer unpublished photos.  We don't want people to say or feel that they have seen the photos on Flickr/Internet already.  We will not be sharing any of the submitted photos until the book is published so that it can be fun to see what made it into the book.

2. To me you can do post processing.  I think that would be fun and add a lot to a photo if done the right way!!

Like many other books, depending on the amount of photos that are submitted, there can be extra areas of the book where great shots that might not be right for the chapters but for other areas.  This would be a good problem to have.

I will let Ed answer this one, he is the resident Editor in Chief

[Jeff Mack]

I just wanted to share a special moment I just had with those of you that are thinking of contributing and would really like to see your published work on the store shelves.  Today was finally the first day I got to go to a store and see if the book was available.  I got to say it was a pretty surreal moment to walk down the isle and then see your name on the spine mixed in with the rest. It was a lot of work, but in the end I am grateful that we were giving the opportunity and this next book will be even better.

Shouldn't the winners also get a copy of the book? Some people lives in countries where the book cannot be found.

That was already stated in the original post above...

I might include Bellville in a chapter that combines many of the larger and vintage minifigures.  Technic is also a possibilty, but their minifigures are basic and not that valuable.  If you are talking about the new "constraction" sets like the 75111 Darth Vader, that is not going to be in the book.  I'm going to post a basic outline of the chapters later today and it will show a basic breakdown of what will be in the book.

Yes, there will be a custom minifigure chapter.  Listen, I can tell you that if people come up with some kick ass custom stuff, we will find a place to put it.  I will go with the flow and morph to whatever people are turning in.

[Ed Mack]

Here is a basic Table of Contents and a list of the main minifigures I want to include in the book.  This is not set in stone.  I can adapt and change things at will.  I need individual photos of all of these minifigures.  They can be a standard  hi res shots or creative action shots.  Let me know if you have any other suggestions or questions.  Thanks...

Thank you so much for replying to me. I do have one more question though. Is it okay if I put my signature on my submitted photos like Samsofy did on the photos of his you showed? Also, how long after we submit our pictures do we have to wait till we can post them on our various sites like Flickr?

Thank you so much for replying to me. I do have one more question though. Is it okay if I put my signature on my submitted photos like Samsofy did on the photos of his you showed? Also, how long after we submit our pictures do we have to wait till we can post them on our various sites like Flickr?

I will have to ask the publisher both questions.  I will let you know as soon as I hear something.

I know Ed already asked the publisher, but I don't think I would count on adding a signature to each photo.  Your credit will be given next to the photo as well as in your bio.   Photos will not be able to be released until after the book is published, which will probably be around the same time as the first book came out. If people release the photos before the book comes out, who would care to buy the book to see the photos.

I added some info for the following question to the blog content above

What if I have a lot of images or a lot of very large files to send?
If you have images that you want to send and they are large, we do have a WeTransfer Account that you can utilize.  Feel free to go there and send us the photos and signed photo release forms here.  Send as many as you need!!  It is very simple to use!
