A LUG member challenged people to build a micro lego set like the brickset competition. As a fan of the Robot Command Center, I felt I had to do that. I don't have flicker or instagram. I haven't decided if I will join to enter the contest. All the vehicles except the flyer dock into the robot command center.

My Ravager Attack set included the stickers twice. It made me wonder if I could build a second Ravager ship. I didn't try to alter the scale or anything. It is merely an attempt to reproduce the lego version without the needed pieces. The design has two big flaws, the green cockpit and the black/red/dark gray circles on the wings. Despite having the extra stickers I haven't applied them. This is because I don't like stickers and the piece for the ravager symbol has a hole which is not ideal to apply a sticker to. Lego and my version together:

I think the bear head is too high for a steam train. It would need to lowered which would make the paws harder to have. Maybe if it was made wider but the contest precluded that. Of course the other problem is that I used the Cargo Train as my base so that it is powered. Either that would need to be removed or redesigned to fit.

Nice. I wanted to make a construction attachment for the mechs but I haven't made a design I like and is stable.

What sort of train are you think of? I'm not a train guy. My design process for it was build a bear head and claws, use the frozen pieces for doors, stick to white and translucent light blue mostly, and use the weird hinged white top pieces I had. Are you thinking more of a sleek bullet train like look?

I decided to create an entry for the Ultimate Train! rebrick contest. It is a train for the ice bears of Chima.

Dammit. Why did you have to alert me to this contest. I knew my Marvel/Star Wars crossover didn't work for the rebrick contest. Now I have to decide if I can build it in time. Interesting build. I would have made it a spaceship rather than a land vehicle. Although looking at it some more, I think my problem with it is the small threads in the back. I think it would better with large threads. Granted for Lego Batman Movie style the small threads work.

Do you think the new continuity will have only good designs? One could say they already did cartoonish by making a black X-wing or a planet sized Death Star. I like both Legends and new material. I was listening to the Star Wars radio drama. It tells a different story of how Leia got the plans than Rogue One. Both are well done. I personally wouldn't make a black AT-AT but more power to the people who want to.

When I left my dark ages, I started by buying a collection of parts from ebay. That was big enough to allow me to build things in the wrong colors. I would then rebuild it on the computer and recolor it. After which I would order the parts from bricklink. Since then I bought another collection of parts from ebay. I now have a large enough set of parts I can usually build what I imagine even if it is not with the exact pieces I initially conceive of using.

I haven't. Generally I build the model digitally and upload it to a custom set on rebrickable (formerly called a private moc). Then I fiddle with things to find the least number of sellers. The bigger problem I have is accidentally ordering things twice.

There is the Shadow AT-AT as well.

I was excited to see He-Man but you are right the designs are bad. Tri-Klops doesn't even have three eyes.

Actually Lord of the Rings is Lego Historical Themes.

Actually that's not true. Character Building had the Scooby Doo license before Lego. I almost bought some sets because my kids liked Scooby Doo but I knew they wouldn't like the figures. Glad Lego got the license afterward. Did they also do that with Marvel? They got rid of the Spider-man license, Megablocks had it for a while, and then Marvel went back to Lego. Actually now that I think about it Megablocks also had Pirates of the Caribbean at one point I believe.

Solid and gas. Next should be liquid. The puddle of Monstrox. :)

Have anyone built any more attachments for the battle suits? I created a Jet Dragon as a party favor for my oldest's birthday. I have another pictured in my Lavaria's Battle Suit thread. It is a stone monster control device that the Cloud of Monster uses to take over Macy's battle suit. I'm planing on making an undersea attachment.

Congrats to the winners and to the rest of the contestants. I had a lot of fun designing my entry for this contest.

Yeah I'm not happy with the weapon but haven't come up with a better one.

If I wanted to demo my Jet Dragon attaching to a battle suit, I had to borrow one from my son. Since I bought the Lego Batman Movie Mr Freeze set, I had some of the new pieces used for the battle suits. I decided to make a suit for Lavaria and wanted it to have four legs like he ultimate set. (Wings can be an attachment.) Obviously the larger body may make some attachments not work. --- Macy smashed another stone monster with her battle suit. "Is it just me or is it getting too easy with these battle suits?" "Don't be too confident," declared Merlock 2.0 over the communication system. "We still don't know the purpose of the cloud of monsters attack this village." Macy heard something behind her but before she could turn around something covered her head. The mech started moving on it's own. "What is happening?" yelled the princess. Aaron jumped out of the way of the giant mace. "Hey! You nearly hit me." "It's not me," said Macy. "I can't controlled my battle suit." A laugh floated over the heroes. "Don't you like my new creation. You see I noticed your ability to combine the mechs with other attachments. I created my own accessory. It takes control over your mech," explained the Cloud of Monstrox. Axl blocked the giant mace from flattening Aaron. "What do we do? We can't hurt Macy." Ava piped in. "According to my scans they are sending commands to the large receiver on her back. If you could smash it, it might free Macy." Axl tried to maneuver around with Aaron but there were too many stone monsters. Macy's suit managed a direct blow on the right arm of Axl's mech. The arm no longer responded to commands. Reluctantly Aaron called out to the controlled mech. "Macy, we're taking too much damage. We need to retreat. We'll find a away to free you." "No worries guys," replied Macy smashing at the controls. "I'll figure out a way to break free and meet you at the Fortrex." Aaron smiled at her determination. But it was short lived. At the Fortrex he pressed Ava, Robin an Merlock 2.0 for a solution. Spinning around in her chair, Ava repeated the same thing she had been saying the whole time. "We need to smash the receiver on the back of the device." Axl gnawed on a chicken leg. He spat food as he spoke. "Impossible with the number of monster." Inspiration hit Aaron. "What we need is an expert at stealth," suggested the current leader. Everyone stared blankly at him. "Lavaria." "You can't be serious," responded Axl. "She worked for the Book of Monsters." Ava didn't think it would work for practical reasons. "Even if she agreed to help, it's doubtful that she could do enough damage to the dish before being discovered and caught." Robin suggested, "We could build her a special stealth battle suit." "This is sounding worse than the original suggestion," groaned Axl. --- Lavaria pondered the request of the Nexo Knights. She walked around Axl's battle suit. "You'll need to build it to my specification," she said. "This thing is far to clunky." Aaron turned to the little mechanic. "Robin can build whatever you need." Lavaria looked at Aaron. "Alright. I'll help." It took the rest of the day for Robin to build the new suit with Lavaria's requests. The mech had four spider like legs and wielded a thin blade. It was time to get Macy back.

I vote for #2 and #13. Thanks for the contest MKJoshA. Thanks to all the people who entered. The builds and stories were a lot of fun to look over. (Although they did make me feel like I should have done more for mine.)

Fixed the first scene to not have a huge desk anymore. (Refresh if you still see the huge desk.)

Hopefully some others who expressed interest in the beginning have an entry they are waiting to post. I'm kinda surprised the contest hasn't had more entries. I looked at the last contest and per category it only had a little over ten.

Based on previous contest voting thread I would say yes. It included this rule: You cannot vote for your own entry!
