August Contest: Recolor a Pet!

*sigh*…brown. Brown, brown, brown. Every time I turn around, my Doberman is brown – and I’m tired of it!

Where are the orange stripes?! The neon green polka dots?! The stylish tattoo of a shark shooting fireballs out of its gills, chomping the Darkitect?! I may be a soldier, but I know style when I see it, and that canine is suffering from a severe case of the borings.

Show that sack of fleas that just because they don’t wear clothes doesn’t mean dogs aren’t above fashion sense. If you head to one of your properties and recolor your pet, maybe my Doberman will be inspired to redesign his fur into a multicolored dream coat. It’d do him good to unleash his inner poodle once in awhile.

Recolor one of your pets using one of your properties and take a screenshot of its dazzling new look – the top twenty pet designers will receive special in-game prizes and enough LEGO Minifigure sets to populate your own personal Brickopolis!

To enter, simply follow these steps:

1. Tame an animal of your choice.
2. Head into one of your properties and put on your Thinking Hat.
3. Find your tamed pet model from the Models section of your backpack and place it on the ground.
4. Click the Brick Build option at the bottom of your screen (the one with the white 2x2 LEGO brick icon). WARNING! – altering your pet model in Brick Build will cause it to no longer be useable as a pet in the rest of the Universe.
5. Using the “Color” option at the bottom of your screen and the “Color Picker” just above your backpack, create a cool and unique design for your pet.

Once your pet has been created, snag a screenshot of it and send it in to your age group’s Creation Lab (12 & under and 13 & older )to enter it!

Feel free to get creative with your screenshot by, say, including multiple colored pets, or staging your photo shoot with the dazzling backdrop of one of your more scenic properties. Instead of photographing just one bright orange and red buffalo, for example, why not show us a multicolored stampede? Maybe your jet-black recolored lion looks most ferocious when sitting in your Maelstrom Lair? The more intriguing your screenshot looks, the better your chance to win! You have between August 18th and August 25th to submit!

o 1 LEGO Minifigures Fairytale and Historic Minifigure Set (#9349)
o 1 LEGO Minifigures Community Minifigure Set (#9348)
