That is a good idea.

Thanks, I personally would love to enter a contest to create a small part of a colony especially, there's a reason I still play AoE III sometimes after being introduced to StarCraft.

There could be a squad-of-four minifig contest. Make 4 minifigs related to a certain topic.

Nice, I really like the squad of four idea! Lots of things to choose from...

I think a good idea for a contest would be creating a clone trooper, or any other sort of soldier or something.

^I think that would be a bit too easy (just sharpie-ing a clone) or too hard (peeps not having any.). I know I wouldn't participate in something like that.

That sounds great, as long as it's generalized. maybe it could be microscale too! Although minifig scale would be much better.

Maybe it could be both minifig and micro scale?

Like we have the evil minifig trolls attacking the helpless microfigs.

While that would be neat to see what people could come up with, no. I meant more like have two contests that are basicly the same but one in minifig scale and one being in microscale(like microspace microscale).
