So before you un-friend us, please note that no Legos were harmed in the making of this MOC. :)

ALSO!... In case you haven't noticed this entire moc was made out of clone brands. And we have prepared a box of left over clone brand building blocks that we would be happy to ship to the first person who wishes to rescue them and pay for shipping.

Thanks!

you two are totally crazy ;)

I will add more to this comment later ;)

here it is: it looks better melted ;)

(as estetic, not as "with hatred to the clonebricks":)

Sacrilege: In this case a necessary evil.

That was totally unexpected guys.

I wouldn't call it sacrilege.. I'm sorry, but to me is simple stupidity (or let's better say: a stupid act). There are two many kids around there without toys to play with (and building blocks, whatever the brand are make exelent toys)who could have given a much more healthier use to those toys. Sorry, just my opinion...

while you do have a point,that i fully agree with, I like it.

So from what I see, you managed to get this video from Lego-hell. You know, ...where all the clone brands go to be judged for eternity? Nevermind. Tell me how you got these to burn. I believe a proper bonfire is in order...

[Moexy]

Although I have to agree with frogstudio, I do have to say that the end result looks kinda good, especially the castle (the burning gave it a ruined look, like it was tainted by nature during a long period of time and it decayed slowly).

At first I thought, that the one who did this shall burn himself. Until I found out it was a clone brand. Anyway, as much as I really do not like the various clone brands, I think this is wrong. But that is just due to my respect for toys :D

Instead of burning the blocks, send them to some children who really might get happy with them.

[AwesomeStar]

You are utterly insane!

I am glad it was early Mega Brands though. The Halo stuff they have been producing is nothing short of top-notch.

Quite the fireball I think it looks pretty good after being burned

[Gabe]

Very interesting - i don't really get the "megablocks must burn!" thing, but i do like the end result - the forms and textures created look almost painterly, and heaps more interesting than the model before burning it. As for the point that frogstudio makes, i must respectfully disagree... in the hands of artists like S and C, burning is just as valid a brick technique as the permanent glueing that you see on models in Legoland. You wouldn't say to an artist that they should donate thier paints and brushes to some needy kids if you didn't like thier work, well, i see this as pretty much the same situation.

[Masked Builder]

How bored were you two?! Though it looks much cooler melted.

[purpleparadox]

You guys just raised the bar for creativity, coolness factor (or should I say "hot" factor ), and overall insanity all in one!

It looks a thousand times better melted. Thanks, this was a really interesting idea!

EDIT: By the way, how'd you burn it? Did the Megablocks just catch fire by themselves, or did you have to coat 'em with gasoline or something?

Why waste all those legos? you could have built something else with them if you were done with the MOC!!!

You might want to read the initial post again.

Okay, everyone's kinda been all "Why burn 'em?" I think it's actually pretty artistic. Sure, we can joke on and on about how we don't like Megabloks, bla bla bla. But now they have a beautiful art piece Don't worry, those kids can get better toys

I think it looks better burnt too. Especially the waterfall.

Well in this instance "sacrilege" seem to be degradation of the environment - burning plastic tends to release all manner of noxious fumes.

How did it smell?

[Ecclesiastes]

Ofcourse I saw the picture first And thought what is Warhammer doing on Eurobricks, because it really looks like it! Good thing it isn't really Sacrilege

You two are always pushing the frontier of creative brick use!

You know, from the thumbnail the melted variant looked like an extremely elaborate Lego build. I thought I was looking at your most complicated build to date. Little did I know!

Whoever is calling this wasteful should look into the history of festivals such as the ones held in Spain in which floats are meticulously decorated and made beautiful for hours and then burned in the town square. It's the same concept, not a loss. And I was one of those kids whose parents didn't get them lots fancy toys, but guess what, I always preferred Lego over anything else,despite the price difference. (One small Lego set > any large set of other clone brand) So save it; I'm not buying the argument.

[wokajablocka]

Burn them, burn them all! (from The Simpsons where the Leprechaun tell Ralph to burn things).

This is would be sacrilege if they where real Lego, but its not.
