Our Build a Bonsai competition is still ongoing and you have until the 14th February to submit your entries. Hopefully that will give everyone enough time to enter.

I am very impressed with the quality of the entries so far: there are some truly beautiful works of art among them as you can see for yourself on Flickr, Instagram and blockheads.builders. The judging panel, which includes Nick Vas, the designer of 10281 Bonsai Tree, will have its work cut out choosing the winners, that's for sure.

There are two categories: build a modified version of 10281 Bonsai Tree, or come up with your own design, which is exactly what Alexey Tikhvinsky did for this magical tree that is lit up with fibre-optic strands from 8480 Space Shuttle.

Find out how to enter here, and remember, the prizes include a trip of goats!

@fulcrumbop:
Here’s a full list of the Crazy Batsuits that were hanging on the tree. If it starts with TLBM, the outfit appears in the movie, and was either released under the TLBM theme, or I assembled it from stock parts, and they are listed in chronological order of first appearance. Desert Batman is from the Ra’s al Ghul set, but does appear in the Batsuit racks. I know I’ve seen Glam Bat and Dolphin Batman in trailers for the film. The last three I think do appear in the film, but I don’t think I’ve identified where they should fall on the list. Since so many of them are hidden from view, I might do a group shot of just the minifigs before I put them back in their storage case.

Animal-grouping names are so much fun. I too am happy to learn about this one. And the entries look fantastic!

Is there any possibility to extend the deadline or arrange another round? In many parts of the world, including mine, the bonsai were sold out / not in stock for a long time, and customers are only now getting their bonsai trees. Best, Tom
