Comment on Mecha School by Modok

Those are very cool indeed. The middle one kinda reminds me of Bombshell from Transformers. I really wish Lego would create a mecha theme–or at least one that’s a little more AFOL-friendly than something like Exo Force. I think there’s a lot of money to be made there.

As far as Cuusoo, it seems that nearly all of the good mechas there come from anime. It would be nice to see some of the original creations you’ve featured here put up on Cuusoo.

Having said that, this Gundam project on Cuusoo is one anime mecha that really SHOULD have massive support: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/8398

The design is so SNOTy and posable that I thought it was an action figure until I saw the larger photos at MOCpages. That thing is awesome.

That’s awesome! I recommend people go watch Jansen’s TED talk. He’s as mad as a bag of frogs.

This would make a great Cuusoo set – but I guess to meet Lego’s target demographic they ought to throw in a couple of Spongebob figs and apply some Millenium Falcon decals :-)

I love this MoC from concept to execution. Just rich in the storytelling and color of the creation. I only wish it was a few studs bigger to allow for more detail and character to be crowded in.

Thanks for blogging my MOC! I’m both honored and humbled to be featured by my favorite Lego blog. I hope that a lot of people get to enjoy it while it is on display this month at the Bellevue Lego store :)

There is no rule that you have to play out the themes the way they are designed. When I was a kid, I had the Blacktron being the good guys fighting against a corrupt Space Police. Even now, I look at the green dragon knights as the good guys. Based on this box art to me the human kinda looks a jerk so the monsters will probably be the “good” guys in my house.

Its Lego, the whole point is to use your imagination. Nothing says you have to build or play how it is on the box.

In Northern Maryland I was only able to find the LOTR sets at TRU and the bigger sets were all 20 dollars more then what Lego was selling them for. So I decided it wasn’t worth 20 dollars to me to have them now so I came home and ordered them online. (Clicking the link through the site so hopefully that helps you all keep the lights on. ;-)

The crossbow jesters must be from the Red Wedding.

Whoops, wrong series. ;)

@ murphquake: Ah, I had somehow missed that olive green had been introduced with the Dino line. Ah well, can’t keep up with everything. Thanks for pointing that out, though.
