The Sun MOCS

[Rocketbilly]

I was browsing The Sun website to look for the terms and conditions of their free Lego offer when I came across their alternate builds.

What they've done is provide building instructions for models you can build from the pieces in the seven promotional polybag set that they're giving away this week. Fair enough.

But the results are less than impressive...

Not sure if I can post images directly from The Suns website, but here's a link to one of my favourites.

Impressive, no?

Also keep an eye out for Jack Sparrow's banana-boat mobile...thing: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/affiliates/lego/3579469/Build-this-vessel-ship-shape.html

Gives the Black Pearl a run for its money, eh?

I'm not sure what's worse, the models or the puns. Five groanworthy puns in four lines for that boat-thing! That seems excessive even for the Sun. But the models are pretty bad, too.

On the plus side, the models made me laugh.

Surely EBers (albeit not this one) can do better....??

I don't need to look further than that airplane design......my 11 year son could do better !

You know this sounds like a good contest idea.....make a different creation from just the parts found in one poly bag set....eh ?

My thoughts exactly!

But the guy is a LEGO certified professional, we couldn't do any of this better!

....that's a pretty poor excuse for a professional, then.
