Jeff Mack Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Ed and I received an e-mail today from Josh at FutureAdvisor.com about getting some of our more creative LEGO builders here to build a better piggy bank. Here is the actual e-mail we received from him. If some of you are looking for a few extra bucks and think you design something that can win, it may be worth your time.I was wondering if you'd be interested in giving us a post to help promote our contest. We're offering over $2000 in prizes for a new and novel take on the old fashioned piggy bank. Naturally, we want the most creative entries possible, so we're reaching out to the Lego community since they have some of the most creative people. You can check out the contest here: http://blog.futureadvisor.com/build-a-better-piggy-bank-contest/ and if you have any questions you can contact me directly.We are just passing the message along. We know nothing about this site or contest, but I think the cash prizes are worth mentioning since you can take that money and invest again in LEGO.Sounds fun to me!! Quote
dunkers97 Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Nice!!! although I probably won't enter. :( Quote
dakotahorn Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 The winner should be a piggy bank with small deposit slot and a larger one connected to it labeled "swear jar". Legos of course Quote
comicblast Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I'm going to try a couple ideas.... Do we post our ideas here??? Quote
Jeff Mack Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Well you can post your ideas here, we would all like to know and see what members do if they do decide to enter. You should refer to the link in my original post, they have all the details on how to enter there. Quote
Rich B Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 This sounds pretty cool, I'm curious to see what everyone comes up with. I would like to try MOC'ing something up, not sure if I have enough extra brick, and the proper colors at the moment to build a piggy bank though. Quote
redeemed763 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 And so many people here thought it wasn't worth while to have a bunch of friends sets on hand full of pink bricks. I'd love to see them make a piggy bank from those light bluish grey star wars pieces! Quote

comicblast Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 So...Anyone put in an entry? I know I did. It was kind of crude looking, and basically looked like a regular bank, except it was a box. There was a clear tower on the side where the coin (preferably a penny) was dropped through and hit a series of blue 2x3 slant pieces until it reached the bottom. Not great, I know, but with only 24 entries, it has a chance...-ish. Quote
