Buzz & Zurg Podracers

[Oky]

Evil Emperor Zurg's latest diabolical scheme involves trying to win the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace with his evil Zurg Podracer (a.k.a. the "Z-Pod"), so Buzz Lightyear enters the race himself with his Star Command Podracer in order to stop him!

Let's start with Buzz Lightyear's pod. This was going to be my entry for the Podracer Challenge, but I couldn't get it done in time, so I had to enter the Zurg one.

Here you can see Buzz at the controls:

The LGMs help Buzz keep his podracer in shape and functioning at maximum efficiency.

But what would a Buzz podracer be without a Zurg pod to race it? That's why I built the Z-Pod.

Due to its simpler design, this one was completed much sooner and ended up being the one that I entered in the contest. It got 15 votes, which is enough to qualify it for the race.

Note how the engines are cylindrical like Zurg's body whereas the cockpit is pointy like his head.

Now it's time for you to decide which one is better and should win the race! Go up to the poll and cast your vote!

To infinity and beyond!

oh man, I LOVE that buzz one, the Zurg one is rad too, but the Buzz one is epic

I actually like zurg's better, much more smooth and slick

These are both really nice! You've gotten a lot of mileage out if your Toy Story sets.

I love the buzz one! The pod is unique and i love the way you incorpoated his spaceship.

Excellent job on these two high-quality podracer entries Oky! It's a shame you weren't able to enter Buzz's, which IMO is the better-built between the two (though I voted for Zurg's just for the heck of it ).

Wow Oky! Both are very well done and both have that "Buzz" and "Zurg" feel to them. I prefer Zurg's pod to Buzz's pod though. More NPU's Zurgs! Nice work.

Awesome! I like Buzz's better, because of the engines, but seriously, both are amazing.

Nice! I prefer Buzz's, because of the spaceship theme especially the front engine parts.

Zurg's doesn't look evil enough, I think.

Anyway, great work.

Love them both, nice job. Realy love most Lego Toy Story themes I've seen so far.

Zurg reminds me of still missing him in my collection. I could buy this set where he appairs in but then I would also get my 3rd Buzz... Not sure but still very interesting.

Great job on both of them! I can't really decide which should win the race they are so good I am a big fan of Toy Story and these is really nice!
