The Classic Pirates are hosting a brand NEW contest.
10320 Eldorado Fortress was released on 7 July, 2023.
Now here is YOUR chance to WIN the new set!
How to Enter
Your choice:
1. Design a new Classic-Style Pirate set
Imagine you’re a designer working for the LEGO Group and you’ve been tasked with designing a brand new classic-style LEGO Pirate set.
Examples of MOCs in the style of classic LEGO Pirate sets
The emphasis is building a creation that could pass as an official LEGO set. The design could be pure classic 1989-1997 style or modern like 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay and 10320 Eldorado Fortress.
But remember! Official LEGO sets have a more limited part count than MOCs so the onus is to convince everyone your creation is an official set.
2. Remake an existing Classic set
Which classic LEGO Pirate set should the LEGO Group remake next? You show them how it’s done!
Examples of MOCs based on classic LEGO Pirate sets
The creation can be any existing LEGO Pirate set except for 6276 Eldorado Fortress or 6285/10040 Black Seas Barracuda.
Due to popular demand Eldorado Fortress and Black Seas Barracuda remakes will be NOW be accepted!
Your mission is to update a classic set as though The LEGO Group was officially remaking it.
