You probably know this moc

[colibri]

just saw this moc on Lego Ideas. You might know it from Moc Pages, where I got the pic from. I still have to vote for it but I got to go. I just wanted to ask you a question.

How many bricks do you think this moc might have. Does it stand a chance in the review, or would it be too expensive to be produced?

On the other side, the moc as such looks great.

Just curious

Just my thoughts, but I believe there are too many parts and too many minifigs. TLG could cut down on both and produce something similar, but then you lose out on some of the cool building techniques used.

While this is a gorgeous Moc that Sirens-of-Titan made, it is just that... a MOC. A large chunk of it is built with techniques that the lego group would not use, and as it is currently it would only be good for display, since there are few playibility features( no interior, hard to reach into the center courtyard, etc). If TLG were to accept it, it would most likely have to be almost completely redesigned.

You might know it from Moc Pages, where I got the pic from.

It is also featured here at Eurobricks, as part of the Guilds of Historica.

I'll echo what others have said, it's a MOC not a playset and Lego produces the later.

For advice on playsets look towards my TrollTown or Nuju Metru's Dragon Lands series. All of those creations are designed to be buildable by others, they follow Lego's rules around legal connections and use appropriate numbers of bricks for sets.

When designing a set also ask yourself what is the story that this set is supporting. Is the story so obvious that it doens't need to be written down; especially important when your toy is global, obvious stories don't need written translations.
