I hear that a lot. Everyone seems to be mad about Galidor and claiming that it's "not real LEGO". Why is that? LEGO have produced several toy lines with pieces that could be considered "not real LEGO", like Hero Factory, Bionicle, Znap, Clickits, Modulex, Scala. Sure, it's not LEGO System, but it's still small colourful pieces of plastic produced in Denmark by the same company. And they are compatible. Thanks! I was going for that look with this build. Trying to make it look more like an action figure than LEGO. Maybe people would have accepted Galidor if the figures looked more like this?

I hope this is the right part of the forum to post this. Here goes: Contrary to it’s name the Three Armed Sloth is a marvel in speed, balance and neural augmentation. The battle armor suit protects the wearer from weapons damage but it also amplifies strength and keeps balance even in high speed and tricky terrain. Neural connectors gets feed directly from the brain and the suit can therefore react in real time to the wearers moves. It can also feed data and stimulus back to the brain. Mounted on the back of the suit is the real reason for it’s efficiency in combat. A robotic arm that can wield a multitude of weapons and mimics every move of the suit's right arm. This suit is armed with an Anti-Armor-Vibro-Sword that can cut through steel, stone and armed concrete like it’s made of paper. On the other end of the robotic arm is the counter weight and the balancing machinery that keeps the suit in the right position and keeps the wearer from feeling any of the additional weight and momentum from the arm. Some arms have mounting points for additional weaponry, like the one seen here. A double barrel Auto-Target-Anti-Personnel-Rail-Gun tracks targets and feeds the results directly into the visual cortex of the wearer. The wearer carries a "control pad". Shaped like a sword and weighted properly to make the feeling of swinging a sword feel more like the real thing. The controller is equipped with triggers for the various weaponry the suit carries. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ever since I saw this great MOC by Polywen ( ), I've been somewhat fascinated by the Galidor heads. Allegra's head in particular. I think it's one of the best minifig heads LEGO ever did. So I bought one. Since then I've wanted to build something fitting this great LEGO piece. Not long thereafter I stumbled onto a piece of concept art made by an artist called Trevor Claxton (http://trevorclaxton.blogspot.se/2012/03/overdrive.html) I thought it was one of coolest things I've seen in a long time and it seemed very fitting for the Allegra head. I knew I had to try to build something like that. There are more images of this MOC and my other MOCS in my flickr feed: http://www.flickr.com/photos/o0ger And yes, this MOC is made entirely of LEGO ;)

Hi! My name is Oscar Cederwall. I'm 37 years old and I live in sweden. I have mostly been hanging out in the swedish LUG forum (www.swebrick.se) but everyone keeps talking about eurobricks so I guess I have to check it out. I have been an AFOL for about two years. My dark age started when I was about 15 so I have had a very long dark age. I'm trying out different types of builds. I guess I'm trying to find my style. What I have found out is that I allways tend to build bigger things that take much more time than I first expected. I have a flickr feed where I post all of my builds: http://www.flickr.com/photos/o0ger/ This is my latest MOC:
