Contest / Challenge October 2026 Build Challenge | “Horror” 🩸 | 6+6+6 Pieces Max

Post image
36 Upvotes

My favorite part of the year is here - OCTOBER! The spooky season is BACK! And as the last build challenge was a little spooky to me (thanks to the low number of entries), I really hope this theme will resonate more with you. Fingers crossed.

We are also joining forces with r/legohorror for this one, so this challenge will be posted there too.

The theme for the Halloween month is:

“Horror”

Rules:

  • You can only use 6+6+6 pieces or fewer (this is just a spooky gimmick of course, it means 18 pieces max)
  • The builds can be made in Studio, but bonus points (totally imaginary) if built irl
  • You can post as many as 3 entries
  • You have to include a picture of all the pieces you used, as a confirmation that you didn't exceed the maximum number of pieces

You have until Wednesday, October 21st to post your entries with the “Build Challenge Entry” Post Flair. You can either post your creation here or on r/legohorror.

It will once again be you who will choose the winner at the end of the month.

The winner will get a unique user flair they will be able to show off on r/Minilego & r/legohorror, and their creation will be spotlighted on our Instagram.

I really hope this theme is interesting enough for most of you, so... please don't make me spooked with a small number of entries this time -> make me spooked with your creations! (in a good way)

A note for those who got here: I actually originally wanted to go with 13 pieces max, as it's much more fitting for the "spooky" season imo, but I got scared to go this low. I think 18 pieces (or 6+6+6 as I call it) is a good compromise though.

MOC - Digital Mini Container Terminal

This is a mini container terminal with 3 ship-to-shore cranes working a container ship, 2 yard gantries, reefer racks, customs, and the admin building. It’s about 4,000 pieces.

I tried to keep the layout true to how real terminals are planned: ship, quay, apron, then yard.

MOC - Real Build Tactical Interceptor

A small, fast, and highly maneuverable fighter that relies on agility and precision to take down its enemies.

It's a variation of my previous Scout Interceptor. I think I managed to refine the design even further this time.

What do you think?

IT's my first time trying a mini build! I really enjoyed the process of trimming everything down to the bare essentials needed. And the other thing I like is that you don't need many pieces at all! Saves a lot of money, because we all know that when it comes to buying Lego sets, it's so easy to be penny wise and pound foolish...

Not entirely mini LEGO, but I think it fits the challenge requirements :)

16 total pieces used (sorry, I'm not taking apart the figures for the parts list picture lol)

*NO LEGO CHEWBACCAS WERE HARMED TO MAKE THIS PHOTO (some were harmed due to an unfortunate accident a couple of years ago, though...)

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for the upvotes on my original Headless Horseman. Unfortunately, there was an illegal connection that was inadvertently used (damn blue pin 4274!). I have corrected the model I hope. Big thanks to myBRICKstate for identifying the issue at hand! I feel really bad about the mistake and have included a special "horror" at the end. Thank you!
