Fans of LEGO and The Avengers know one thing for certain: everything’s better once it’s been ASSEMBLED! 

That’s why Marvel Comics and LEGO fans are uniting for the release of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.  And to salute this new ASSEMBLY, we’re giving you the chance to create an awesome, action-packed video featuring this classic collection.

Wait’ll you see the HULK.  We are talking BIG news here....

AND: if your video wins, you’ll have the chance to show it to hundreds of fans, during a paid trip for you and a guest to New York City’s annual Comic Con! Interested?  Read on!

Just as the Marvel heroes have always been loved by kids and adults alike, your video should appeal to fans of all ages.  So make it flash like Wolverine’s claws.  “Thunder” like Thor’s trusty Mjolnir.  Sting like Iron-Man’s zinging quips.  Good guys? Bad guys? They’re all on YOUR side: the humongous Hulk, the courageous Captain America, merciless Magneto, and who could forget…Deadpool. 

Make all your favorite heroes and villains come alive in a 1 to 3 minute animated video, and you could be on your way to hang with fellow Comic-heads in the city that never sleeps. 

As a celebrity, mind you...because:

In addition to a trip to New York City Comic Con for a LIVE screening of your winning video, you'll have the chance to win more great prizes, like:

 • TEN THOUSAND dollars in cash.

 • For the first time ever, ONE extremely talented Tongaler will be awarded the “Golden Brickie” for Best LEGO Film!
