Big news for all you toymation directors out there — the Mega Bloks Halo Toymation Fest 2012 is about to kick off! This year, videos will be broken down into five categories:
- Action: Action-packed films with a focus on combat and special effects.
- Comedy: Films that are all about fun and making you laugh!
- Drama: Films that rely primarily on story-telling and character interactions.
- Classical: Films that incorporate elements from classic movie-making, such as silent films or black-and-white.
- Sports: Films that are all about getting active! And yes, dancing is a sport. So is Grifball, for that matter.
What’s at stake? Aside from the great opportunity of having your video broadcast on Halo Waypoint, you can also win a MacBook Pro, a Canon Rebel DSLR, a ton of custom builds, the complete 2012 Mega Bloks Halo collection, and more.

i dont know making a stop motion would be cool but im wating on my spartans and CQB guys to come taking forever
:>
oh is incredible and great
i love you
Hey Halo freaks stop-motions are awesome… Totally can’t beat it man!!! all those aliens better beware or…
cause they gonna die in my stop-motion. If I make one that is. any way I like being random…..I AM SPARTAN !!!
And you are….. GLITCHED OUT GRUNT !!! Sorry about that that was a random freak that bite me. bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye @$$%#%$#%@#$#$@%%$%@%$@
has anyone submitted a video? cause all i see are the same boring ones
And they will make much more sense as well
For all those people who didn’t like my videos last year because I only had one set, that’s all going to change. This year my videos will be much better quality!
this is going to be awsome
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
I love!!!
Come on.Someone.
man376 agree there were better ones than that
how do u join in what Silverhero65
How do you join in , first time ?
same for me i missed last years animation
Jeez I need to start animating! Hopefully I actually do make on this year! I missed it last year!
hmmmmmm! man tyler was realy lucky last year. I think that 1st and 2nd was a good choise. but 3rd was a mistake. that is my opinion. Tell me what your opinion is
Can’t wait to make a video. I have only made lego stopmotions before, but i think there will be a lot more opportunities here with the more posable figures.
can u make more jackals in more sets
dude! i just bot the unsc rhino! it is awesome
Cool.I found how to make emoticons:
halofanguy470:HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today is my birthday
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:)
A little while ago I bought the covenant crimson combat unit. My elites legs were broken.
I tried the request center and it wasn’t listed so I couldn’t re-order.
i am soooo excited i am trying to build the best of my vid
I’m going to ignore the age rule
I’m in, and I hope yours is cool and I mean all of you
Yeah, that would be awesome (especially because the shipmaster is my favourite character).
i just finished taking pics now i just need to edit it:)
hahahahaha.
did the seagul get him?!
ccccoooolllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cool!!!!
shipmaster coomeing in the corvette and then i can put all my elite in there to and amgin how much the corvette would cosst
i bought the battlescape three and it came with no spartan how do i get the spartan back

hi im gonna win this contest (maybe)
It was alright
What if you have a movie that is action and comedy?

P.S.
And do we even get a free set for the 5 vids we can atleast submit?

Even i can”t enter but i am 3 year”s younger

What you have to be 13. That sucks. 3 more years.
How do you make thos emoticons.I’ll say to you my Stop-Motion’s preview next.
Hopefully a member of MegaBloks will read and answer this question for me. In the Rules and Regulations of the Toymation tournament comming up, it was stated that only one video may be submitted per category. I have been working all summer on some sweet and epic videos and now your telling me I have to choose just one(they are all action except for one). If I am misunderstanding this please explain and if not then I just wasted a heck of a lot of time. (:-(
1 mo year
awwwwwwwww i cant enter because im 1 year younger than the age limit
finally i have been working on mine for 2 years im still propoly going to lose to genetic sparten or something
Awesome. SniperShotxd
I am doing the pictures and then i am making them really fast but i dont know how to do it >:(it makes me so mad!!!!!!!! Still gonna steal all of your lego lol just joking still may the best toymation win (me hopefully
I am serious i will steal them!!!!!!! Oh.. And my xbox 360 gamer tag name is wondercats2012 but i do not have internet
oh man i’m so gonna enter
WOW, i was working on my new stopmotion when i went on the the website and this comp was on! and my film fits all the parametres!!!
I no where a flamethrower is if you have halo 3 on xbox 360 if you have alread complited the misson floodgate what you what to do is find floodgate then press floodgate then press misson start and then kill all the flood

@wort14 in the rules it said United Kingdom.
ENGLAND is IN the UNITED kingndom!
I’m in scotland and I would enter, but i’m only 10
i belive the correct term in “brickfilming” sounds cooler then toymotion anyway.
Looking forward for this year contest.
dose any won have sires 1,2,3,4 or 5 halo minifiges yet
i,m 10 year,s old
Spartan0782 it may seem hard at first but it really is’nt all that tough. All you need is a camera, possibly a tri-pod, Megablocks figs, and the will to make a good stop-motion. (p.s, i will enter for the first time too and I hope either you or me win)
Great that good video, when can I make my own toymation

i agree rvb117
hey cheesysocks i wish that they would make the spectre from halo 2 and i also want to see the AA wraith from halo 3 and last but not least a base so that people who can`t make one can just buy it and there all set for if there making a stop motion.
ok ridin00000 i don`t have a battlescape but i do have some leftover blocks that i can use
I must enter this competition
Theres one bad thing about the competition and that is because out of thousands of people around world only, i think its six, people win and only one gets the grand prize! im going to enter though!
rvb117: genericspartan will be a judge this year
Will we get a free set like last year?
im ready for this year my first
he had already made his vidio and had tons of fans on youtube even before the contest. so when the contest started he made a vidio on youtube to ask all his fans to vote for him daily and had a link to this website in the discription…….. so i dont think it was realy fair for us…
i have two hunters snipershotxd I’m using them in mine your using some?>?>?>?
halo battle-scape but if you do not have enough mg or Lego you can pick up at walmart or the dollar store big pads of paper and paint them that’s what I’m doing. and i thought that you couldn’t do one snipershotxd?>?>?>?
um haven’t actually started taking pics yet just set dressing for now. i need my laptop and it’s away right now so
This is just awesome! I really wanted to enter the last toymation contest but sadly I did not have enough time! love how there is a bigger probability of others winning
And the most fun part is that you can enjoy all other big halo mega bloks fans creations as well
hey eerr guys you know how the guy who won last year with ‘the rookie’ if he enters we are going to have to work really hard
Hay snipershot what do you want mega bloks to make next year? Because I want them to make a scarab and specter
