The LEGO Group in Billund held a challenge to select a designer to go to BrickFest - Five designers took the challenge, which was simple: Build a moonbase module according to the standards set by the Space Community, and seen at this link on Zemi.net - hi Jon!

Each designer built a unique design that will be judged by a fan poll—this poll to be exact!

The five modules are:

1. The Loony Luna Knight:
Reluctant to let go of the past and their traditional ways, the Loony Luna Knights live a simple life of jousting and hunting Jar Jar meat. They reluctantly use only the most basic of technology to help them survive in the harsh realms of space, air tanks and fem bots are as advanced as they like to get. After reading “The Da Vinci Code” the knights traveled into space fo rthe holy grail in hope of proving Dan Brown wrong...5000 years later they are still looking.

2. Command and Defense

3. Squidman Module (and what is a Squidman? See the video here - PG for language)

4. Space Hungry Hippos (and how does this work? See the video here!)

5. Ice Planet Dome

More photos can be seen at poll page.

Vote for the best module by Sunday, July 30 - the winner will be coming to BrickFest, as well as its designer! .

Good luck to the designers!

Event Coordinator, BrickFest 2006

I voted for the ice planet module if only because of the coolness factor of being the only ice planet MOC ever to use the large octagonal dome in trans-fluro-orange (now if only I could find a way to get ME one of those :) (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) --SNIP-- (...) Hi Joe, These are all very cool. You might want to add names in the poll section. It's pretty easy to make a mistake if you're trying to remember numbers. Tim (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

		Re: Which Moonbase will go to BrickFest? YOU decide!
Talk about a hard choice! I voted for #2 because of the sheer awe-inspiring size, but if I had 2 votes, the Hungry Hippos would get a vote, too. (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) module out of all of them, with the head that opens into a lab. That's cool. It gets my vote. But I would like to see the hippos too. I think you should send them all! (18 years ago, 26-Jul-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

		Re: Which Moonbase will go to BrickFest? YOU decide!
Though they are all wonderful and all deserve to go to Brickfest, I have to vote for the adorable hippos. I thought they were really cute, but after watching the video and seeing them in action, I'm convinced no Brickfest would be complete without a (...)

		Re: Which Moonbase will go to BrickFest? YOU decide!
(...) Wow, all of the entries are great. Very different & distinct styles. As a castle fan, I'd vote for the Loony Luna Knights, but the functional Hungry Hippos are just too cool not to vote for! -Bryan (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

		Re: Which Moonbase will go to BrickFest? YOU decide!
After a week of voting, the moon base competition has finally come to an end. On behalf of the LEGO Group, I would like to thank all the designers who took the time and effort to enter. I’d also like to thank the fans for their comments and positive (...) (18 years ago, 1-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX) !
