Flanagan Bros Inc Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 3 hours ago, Ed Mack said: I also want to ask for photos with LEGO "maxifigures." Figures like the Rancor, Jabba (new and old version), T-Rex (any Dinosaurs), trolls, horses, dragons, etc... You looking for figures like the Nidhogg dragon, Boga, the Orient Express elephant, and the 2001 dinosaur theme as well? I imagine the dragon there is a bit too build-able, the others are kind of on the fence. The elephant and Boga are fairly desirable, so I'll probably look through those bins again and piece them together, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make that a special chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanagan Bros Inc Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Does maxifigure include Knights Kingdom figures? If so, I've got a bunch I can photograph, if not I won't bother. If you are on the fence I guess I'll shoot some photographs and you can decide later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the larger figures like the current Super Heroes or STAR WARS Buildable figures, no. I consider them sets. What you could do though is maybe mix them in creatively with some smaller minifigures from the Castle themes (or other). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 @Ed Mack I can take pics this week of pretty all the Jurassic World and Dino maxi-figs. The pics will be taken outside. Still need them ? I'll try to include some minifigs and vehicles from the related sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Mack Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 If people want to share some ideas here, they can. For instance, I was thinking about using some real fish in a small bowl to photograph some of the Atlantis or water related minifigures. Feel free to use that idea.

justapilgrim Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'll see what I can do with Mungus (we have snow here) and some of the rock guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I was thinking about mimicking the Abbey Road album cover with minifigs from The Lego Movie. I just need to find/build some trees for the sides of the shot. I also thought about doing it with four different Joker mini figures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanagan Bros Inc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 There's some good ideas here! I'm actually a bit jealous; where I live there'll be snow for a few months, so I'm quite limited in my outdoor photography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Some of the least popular themes might yield some of the best chances to win. Why? They have the cooler minifigures and less people are turning in photos for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeyez Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Will there be a second and third place prize??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 7 minutes ago, Popeyez said: Will there be a second and third place prize??? 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. Just let me say there is always a chance of prizes being added if there is reason to add prizes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say yes.. NOTE: Just please specify what minifigures and from what themes and/or sets they are being used from. When submitting photos, it would help Jeff and I to know exactly what we are looking at so we can include the info in the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanagan Bros Inc Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Would it be worthwhile to take a few photos of a wide variety of the specific mini-figures for possible use on the cover? We've got quite a wide selection of figures and my brother (who is taking the photos) and I both have experience in graphic design, so if you're interested in anything like that it would be easy enough to do, since we've got everything set up anyways. Even if you've got something in mind for the cover, they could always be used as a end of book 'farewell' page of sorts—or in a general introduction. I figured I'd ask because you asked specifically for themed photos and if that's all you want we won't bother taking any general photos. If they are something you might be interested in, we can throw a few in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
