Seed Parts

The challenge is to build anything you want highlighting the cube from LEGO DOTS Bag Tag sets. You can use any color of cube(s), though they all come with the same orange loop. Using the cube is a must, and using the loop is extra credit.

After many of your requests, the seed parts are now available digitally! Follow these links to download the cube and the ring (in closed position only for now) to use them in LDraw or export them into Studio. Special thanks go out to Gerald Lasser and Orion Pobursky at LDraw for making these digital parts a reality!

The BrickNerd team will be the judges who will evaluate entries based on quality, presentation, composition, concept, creativity, and usage of the seed parts. For a little inspiration, here are some creations built by BrickNerd contributors showing off their cubes!

Post your entries to the Cube Your Enthusiasm Flickr group using the hashtags #CubeYourEnthusiasm and #BrickNerd. If you do not have a Flickr account, you can use the hashtags and tag us on Instagram. The deadline is September 12th.

Prizes

It wouldn’t be a BrickNerd contest without some awesome prizes on the line. Each winner (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) will get a Golden Nerdly trophy, a BrickNerd Box full of swag and surprises, and brand new sheep. SHEEEEP! 15 for first place, 10 for second place, and 5 for third place. (Sheep are the new goat, right!?)
