Collaborative Build:
Coordinators – Kyle Donovan
Name – Minifig Mecha Makeover
Notes -It’s going to be the game that I am putting together for the Friday and 10:30am slot. It shall be called Minifig Mecha Makeover, and the premise is that participants bring a minifig (this could be a CMF, licensed minifig, their sig-fig, or any minifig that is special to them) as well as a 1 gallon ziploc or small shoebox tote full of loose parts in colors that suit their chosen minifig. They will be provided a blank mecha frame which they are then to customize for their minifig, with suitable weapons and/or accessories. Then all the mechs will be displayed as a group in the mecha theme during public hours, and participants take theirs home at the end. There might be judging by a team of mechs-perts at the end, if we have to declare a singular winner, but really everyone wins because they all built a mech.
