Creations For Charity 2025 is underway
Posted by Huw,
"The Creations for Charity store is now open for its 17th annual sale", writes the fundraiser's organiser, Nannan.
"From now through November 30, you can purchase one-of-a-kind custom creations donated by builders from around the world to raise money and buy Lego sets for underprivileged children. Thanks to your support, we were able to donate Lego sets to kids across six continents last year. Check back often—new items will be added regularly over the next six weeks.
"Anyone can donate a creation by filling out the donation form on our website at creationsforcharity.org. We’ll list your MOC in the store and notify you when it sells so you can ship it directly to the buyer. You can also make a direct donation via Tiltify.
"We look forward to seeing you and celebrating our annual tradition of creativity and giving!"

This has somehow slipped under my radar in the past, but looks like a great idea with some really interesting models. I look forward to see what's submitted in the oncoming weeks.
I wish the campaign the best of luck in their fundraising efforts.
As someone who actually received one of the original Frog Pods at Brickworld Chicago, the UCS version is highly amusing. For those who have never been to BWC, the late Arthur Gugick once filled an entire large PAB cup with black scorpions, and told everyone who would listen how they could be stacked, rotated into a spiral, and would make great architectural details. He also won Brickworld Master that year.
The following year, he brought them back, having decided that they didn’t work as well as he’d expected. And he slipped them onto peoples’ layouts to get rid of them. Simon Liu was attending for the first time that year, and he happened to win Brickworld Master that year.
The year after that, tiny spaceships piloted by frogs appeared all over the exhibit hall, and a tradition was born.
Help me out here, I am genuinely wondering about this - I checked out the buyable models, because I would like to support this effort; but some of these models seem questionably legal. I see Fabuland-MOCs, Final Fantasy MOCs, Assassin's Creed-MOCs and Batman-MOCs and I'm probably missing a few, because the pervasive thought is "what the hell, guy?".
Are we really picking fights with juggernaut companies just to raise money for charity? I like the narrative, I just don't fancy our odds.
I always love seeing the creativity come out for this, and there’s some really cool stuff this year. Particularly love “the fold” album that’s signed by them, that’s awesome. Can never get my head around the prices tho, I understand Mocs go for a higher price and it’s for charity. But $70 for that 6 legged crab droid is a bit insane.
