Cube Your Enthusiasm Contest: The End is Nigh!

Time’s a-ticking, BrickNerd fans! The clock on the Cube Your Enthusiasm contest is running out—tomorrow, in fact, at precisely 11:59 Pacific Time.

“What is this contest,” you ask?

“Where have you been!?” I reply. “Haven’t you been paying attention!? Didn’t you read the first post? And what about when we launched digital parts last week!? Geeze!”

Okay, enough with the dramatic reenactment. Let’s review, shall we?


The Seed Part(s):

Cube and Loopy Thing. Any color, any number, any condition, part or whole. Cube is a must. Loopy Thing is extra credit.
