I hear your pain -- I really do -- but as we say on our About page, "The Brothers Brick is a LEGO blog for adult fans of LEGO."

An 18+ contest is consistent with how we've run contests in the past, and eliminates our liability in requesting real names and addresses from minors.

Thanks in advance for understanding!

TFOLs look at the brothers brick too, this is kinda ridiculus but I can see both sides of the argument. Still though, why not 13 instead of 18? I mean, by rule, to be an AFOL you have to be at least 13 right?

^ The A in AFOL does stand for Adult, not Teen. ;-)

TBB certainly wouldn't be the same without all the talented builders and active commenters who just happen to be teens. That won't ever change. For the purposes of this contest, though, the 18+ requirement isn't open for discussion. Sorry! :-(

:( I mean, I can see why, but look at all these TFOLs wanting to build... I think Andrew was just nicely trying to say that they don't want to drag noobs over to the brother's brick, or maybe not noobs, just people nat quite up to par with everyone else.

^ I could name a dozen under-18 builders who are more talented and frequently more mature than most AFOLs, so that is truly not the reason.

As I said in my first response above, the 18+ restriction really is about avoiding the legal complications of requesting real names and addresses from minors. I don't personally understand every nuance of the law, but rest assured that our reasons are legal and not discriminatory.

If anyone is that desperate to enter could they not simply use their parent's or guardian's name and address. With parental permission of course.

Where is the scene from? Like the 70s, 80s, 90s, or 2000s?

Jiminy, people need to let it go. It's a waste of time to complain about something you're not gonna change. Go build instead.

Hey, that's the warehouse/hide-out I built to inspire the animators of this,

I was wondering where that model went.

^ At the beginning of the video? Hmm, I can sort of see the similarity.

For the record, I didn't build this scene -- and unfortunately I can't say for sure who did, so I'm unable to confirm what witha K said at the moment.

EDIT: This scene was built by Keith Malone, a Creative Director who works for LEGO.

Even though I'm not 18 this still gave me an idea of something to build, so thanks Andrew :)

Quick update on this example entry for the contest:

I received this photo from The LEGO Group without complete details on who actually built it. Contrary to my initial information, the building itself was created by Erik witha K Varszegi and the scene was designed by Keith Malone.

Apologies for any misattribution or confusion.
