Question About Some Contests

[Dunjohn]

I'm just wondering why some contests allow Brickarms and custom elements, but not clone brands or Megabloks. What really is the difference? They're all technically not Lego.

I believe this is because there is a difference. Clone brands and megablocks are competitors to lego and work against them to produce products, sometimes even copying them. However Brickarms and other custom elements work for the FOL community to produce lego like elements while not trying to remove sales from Lego.

In other words megablocks steal sales and Brickarms do not.

Ah. Excellent response. I could practically feel my brain cells clicking into place. Makes sense, thanks!

Nor sure if that's an official answer, but it makes perfect sense to me.
