LEGO Ideas has kicked off the actual building contest for the Chronicle Books puzzle that will be released at a future date. There are four categories that you can build for including Space & Astronomy, Nature Scenes, Retro, and Architecture. Submissions can be either actual Toy photography, a high quality photograph, or digital art.

Chronicle Books has given a hint on what they are looking for and they have said the best entries will:

• Feature a clear unifying theme or storyline.
• Make use of patterns, gradation, and/or repetition.
• Not have too much empty space or large borders.
• Include a variety of different colors.
• Have enough variation to be challenging as a puzzle for fans 9+
• Have good image quality (350 dpi or greater at puzzle size)

The judging phase will consist of a fan vote and a product idea review, each with their own announcements.

If there is a Puzzle Design Review winner, they will receive credit on the puzzle, 1% of net sales of the product (an “author” royalty) and 10 copies of the finished puzzle.

There will a winner for each category and each will get the following:

• Goodies from LEGO Publishing and Chronicle Books
• All of the below LEGO Ideas sets:
• 21322 LEGO Ideas Pirates of Barracuda Bay

When

We’ve been waiting for the release of the LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327) but if you’re a VIP member, you’ll be able to get your hands on it very soon. The set has 2,079 pieces and will retail for $199.99.

Instructions

Like with all LEGO Ideas sets, the front gives a little insight about the set including a short excerpt about the fan designer, Steve Guinness. It also gives short quotes from the LEGO designers James May, Wes Talbott, and Martin Fink.

Letter

Included with the set is a booklet of a letter from LEGO Chairman, Thomas Kirk Kristiansen. There are letters in 43 different languages so there’s pretty much something for everyone. You can rip them off to put on the typewriter after you’re finished building.

Build

There are three sections each set of bags are for. 1-4 are for the front frame and keyboard. 5-8 are for the back frame and the inner workings of the carriage. Bags 9-11 are for the platen and ribbon spools.

Bag 1 are the parts used for the frame of the keyboard, most of them having Technic beams.

Bag 2 is for part of the frame for the keyboard. Here you use the arm builds from bag 1 and attach them in the correct sequence. This is easily the most tedious part of the whole build. If you messed up here after completing it, good luck finding the mistake.

Bag 3 is for the keys on the keyboard. LEGO was nice enough to have the letters printed on 2×2 … Continue

The Medieval Harbor by Namirob is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 2,996 piece build features some small shops alongside a harbor.
