CONTEST: Build your own Impulse set!

[LegoLyons]

I have posted my entry. I thought that using just 27 parts or under would be hard, but I found it a breeze in the end and only used 25 X-D

Tried to use parts from lots of different themes/era's. I'm quite pleased with it.

Comments appreciated. Thanks. *y*

[SirNadroj]

And my entry is UP! *y*

I was gonig to break my Peruvian Cave Racer MOC, but I loved the idol head on it, so I modified it a lot so it would fit within the piece limit. It's made up of 25 pieces, 2 pieces for the treasure = 27 pieces + Indy. :-)

Thanks, and good luck! *sweet* *y*

[kaboom4]

I'm confused. *wacko*

I thought the rules said no baseplates?

Source of confusion (but a very nice park scene):

Where does it say that? I don''t think it said that. Unless it was a question someone asked.

[xwingyoda]

Where does it say that? I don''t think it said that. Unless it was a question someone asked.

In the original rules stated after:

Rules of this contest are:

[*]Try to build something similar to the real impulse sets; that is don't include parts like a baseplate as it would make the set too expensive and the box too big. There must one and only one figure in the set. Any Lego man is allowed.... including Technic. ;-)

And yes its a great park scene ;-)

So where is our contest leader when needed :-P

*yoda*

[WhiteFang]

Hi Everyone :-D , i will like to particpate in this MOC, impulse set too. This will be my 1st attempt in EB :-P

Kindly show your support and feel free to comment. Currently, i am doing up the pics and will upload it soon *sweet*

[Siegfried]

This competion is going great so far! *sweet* Thanks guys...there are some really great entries too. *wub*

Where does it say that? I don''t think it said that. Unless it was a question someone asked.

No, sorry to say it was in the rules from the start, and it was rule number one too! ;-) Remember the goal of this contest is to Build your own Impulse set in the same style as the real ones. A baseplate would never fit in the box, and would be too expensive as well. I saw your entry and I hoped that you would realise your mistake and correct it....

So where is our contest leader when needed :-P

*yoda*

:-$ At the time I was sleeping, and later on I was finishing my Mobile Still MOC. ;-) Thanks for answering the question in my absense! X-D

[WhiteFang]

Finally, my long awaited creation is finished *wub* . Hope everyone will like a simple creation like this. :-P

Please view it in the entries

[Lt. Col. Thok]

My Entry: Shoreline Lookout Tower!

[hewkii9]

Hey, I actually only just found this contest- but I want Sinner's love!

A question- can we do non- real themes, like, say, Battlestar Galactica?

[Quarryman]

My Entry: Shoreline Lookout Tower!

a) baseplate.. see Sinner's latest post for a clarification about that :-)

b) four pics? See the rules, please.

[hewkii9]

Okay, got a new question- Do Viking helms count as one piece on the fig or as the fig and two accessories [horns]?

[Khorne]

I just entered my entry *sweet* . I someone feels it's too rude/over the top, please let me know ;-) .

.....

J/K :-P

No, in all seriousness, if it's too rude, just tell me me :-) X-D .

Thank you!! I just saw the shogun head and I noticed that he has an nearly identical hair pattern as J. Thunder, the rest was a piece of cake. ;-)

You're welcome LegoLyons! It took me a good 30 minutes to do that 8-|

[Khorne]

Thanks for the comments Exobuilder and Legolyons *sweet* !!

Copmike: I really love your entry, it's amazing what one can make with only 27 bricks at your disposal X-O .

[Siegfried]

Okay, got a new question- Do Viking helms count as one piece on the fig or as the fig and two accessories [horns]?

Since they are removable I would consider them as accessories...

Are we allowed to make sets for non-real themes?

Edited March 12, 2008 by SupremeCommmanderGrievous

[Trexxen]

Just curious, though I know it's DEFINITELY not something Lego would do, are we allowed to do a Bionicle impulse? I have ideas either way, so it's not that big a deal if I can't, but...=P

~Trexxen

[xwingyoda]

So Sinner, will you create several categories ??

*yoda*
