Topic: Hasbro 2009 build a diorama contest

[Clonehead]

We dont already have a thread up for this yet, do we?

Details of this contest were revealed during SDCC. I know that the grand prize is $1000 worth of star wars toys and your dio will be shown at celebration 5. Can someone list the dates and rules for me? I believe that your dio must use at least 5 hasbro figures and possibly portray a scene from one of the movies or tv shows?

Anyway, this incredible diorama display was constructed and shown at SDCC where the details of the contest were announced.

With all of the stuff going on, It would have been easy to miss, buddy. Do you know the dates for this. I havent found the official starwars/hasbro location for this info, yet.

Thanks for that info, boss! I will be working on a dio for this contest which you, Shawn, will appreciate. I'm not planning on a big one but want to make it special. As it is a contest that exists to promote Hasbro figures and vehicles, I won't be making any paint apps or part swaps as I had originally planned for this project.
  My dio in question was originally going to be produced to tease poor Tamer. Details will start to emerge  sometime this week, as I find time.

[Tamer]

Well now, I am sure curious.

[Clonehead]

All will be revealed in due time, my friend.

* DocOutlands wonders if Clint's dio is why all the Snowtroopers suddenly disappeared from local stores...

 

[Clonehead]

I think that it's Narceron's holiday project that has taken all of your store's snowtroopers, my friend.
No, the project I have in mind will not contain any imperials or clones nor even mandos, believe it or not.

Here are a couple more shots of that sdcc floor display dio.

Aussie wonders if Shipyarders are planning a assault on C5 too?

[Clonehead]

I'm game if it isnt too far away. They did hint at an overseas celebration, I believe.

really?.mmm Land Down Under plz Mr Lucas!

[Tamer]

Yes, they did hint at an overseas location eventually. I figure it would be Australia if it were overseas. I am wondering about that rumor we heard about Baltimore last year. I don't think they have ever done East Coast before. Still, the population base sure does favor the NorthEast.
