Here’s My entry.
Matoran Transport Attack
324 peices
Cost: $34.99
The Toa Metru are trying to save the matoran, but Nidhiki is attacking the matoran transport! Vakama and Nuju work to protect the transport so they can get all the matoran pods to safety!
Here’s my entry. I wanted to incorporate the original canister types in a way that made sense for a modern lego set. Here it is used as the main storage section on a transport vehicle. This canister would not likely be the main container for the set, but rather be a storage option after the box is thrown away.
The label would be on the inside of the canister instead of the outside, and it would also be reversible to show a more fitting print to go with the scene. In this case, it is a riveted paneling texture.
My skills with photo editing are also ver…
Are we allowed to make modifications to the texts of our entries to fix errors? I know we aren’t allowed to update pictures or the model itself.

I’ll tell you what you aren’t allowed to do, and that’s double post. Double posting is against the rules, do not do that again.
And text for spelling errors is fine provided it isn’t on an image. Only if it’s in the post.

Tora:
Woah, who told you that? That’s just stupid. It’s not like you really are going to release such sets using their logo. Following that line of thought, the Bionicle logo is a trademark too, and they can sue you for using that too. Or that you recreated their characters, who are their property as well.
LEGO is actually very protective of their trademark and already asked us to remove their logo from our website and channel. While you’re right in that the chance of them taking legal action against you is basically next to none, it’s better not to risk it because it doesn’t really gain you anything.
I would assume their train of thought is that the LEGO logo denotes something as being official, and there might be people that see these renders and assume that they are some future set that will be released.
We will not be disqualifying anyone just based on their use of the LEGO logo. That interaction is between you and the LEGO Company. But we also will not factor the inclusion of the LEGO logo into our decision of how good the set is, so there’s really no reason to go out of your way to include it.
The jury is out on the Bionicle logo. I would assume the same thing applies, but LEGO doesn’t seem to be that concerned with it being used in the same context. I do think that that logo is important to the boxart, so…you can either use the official one or make your own.
(I have thought about creating a logo for our Gen III redesign, so if I ever posted that, using it for the purposes of this contest would be okay)

Glad to have some sort of official input on this. Thanks!

This seems like a cool contest, unfortunately I probably do not have enough of the right bricks and pieces do make something good.

Originally I didn’t plan to participate in this contest, but somehow I started tinkering around with LDD at some point, and well… I guess since I have something I might as well participate.
I also built figures for the other Rahkshi and Toa and started building Kini Nui - when/if I finish that I’ll probably enter that too or at least post it (if the contest is already closed by then).
Ok, the actual “set” here: I feel like the Matoran and Kopaka look actually quite convincing w…
