My older sister and I entered the Lego Club a few years ago. The Lego Club is a club for people who like Lego's. (Well duh.) We don't have dumb meetings but instead we get to stay on our comfortable LA-Z-BOY. Every two months, there's a Lego magazine that they send to us and occasionally they send us a Lego catalog. The Lego catalog shows all the new Lego sets to make people jealous and want to buy them. The Lego magazine is almost the same, but it doesn't show the prices for the Lego sets. (Probably so people will have to spend more money on the catalog.) Well, anyway, the Lego magazine has comics in it and descriptive details on all the Lego sets so that you get even more jealous that you don't have it. It has interviews with people who helped make the Lego sets, and a whole two pages showing Lego things that a whole bunch of people in the Lego club made. In every magazine, there are competitions too. They give you about a month to build a type of Lego model. The last magazine I got had three competitions. One was a Spongebob competition where you make any Spongebob character in the movies. The winner gets a big Lego version of Spongebob about a foot tall. I wasn't very interested. They had another one where you make a police vehicle and send a picture of it to the Lego club people. The rewards (the most common one) is any Lego set of your choice for up to $100. The last one, was a Lego Star Wars one. You're supposed to make a Lego version of your favorite scene from the movies. The Grand prize was an XBox 360 and the new Lego Star Wars video game. The nine runner ups get the new Lego Star Wars video game. I started with this Lego General Grievous head until I realized what I was making wasn't a scene from the movie, but more of a person standing in a pose. My favorite scene was from episode 3, but it turned out I didn't have any brown pieces which I needed an awful lot of. I tried thinking of other ones, but they had excuses too. I'm waiting till the next Lego magazine comes so that I can see if I want to do any of those competitions. But my sister says I should keep doing this one. I'm still thinking about it.
