Hinckley Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 33 and a third, now that you say it. ;-) X-D Very true, but I don't think a third of a minifig would sell very well. :-P Quote
Athos Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Very true, but I don't think a third of a minifig would sell very well. :-P Unless it is the decapitated head of an enemy... Quote
SirNadroj Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Very true, but I don't think a third of a minifig would sell very well. :-P True. X-D Unless it is the decapitated head of an enemy... Or a leg. Or an arm. Or a hand. Or a torso. *skull* >:-) So evil! >:-) Quote
Hinckley Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 True. X-D Or a leg. Or an arm. Or a hand. Or a torso. *skull* >:-) So evil! >:-) But with no weapons, it would have to be a large troll army just ripping minifigs apart...cool! *sweet* Quote
Sir Dillon Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Let's say you have a minifig in your entry and he has legs, a torso, a head and a hat. That's three pieces. Just out of curiosity, why doesn't that count as four pieces? Quote
SirNadroj Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 But with no weapons, it would have to be a large troll army just ripping minifigs apart...cool! *sweet* Heck, I'd buy that! *skull* I'm working on my entry now. I've got two projects on the table, but I can enter this one ~ 'specially since it's got a piece limit. *y* Also, for inspiration, may I suggest collectobil.com (a playmobil fan site.) There's a nice Magic Forest theme there: (MAGIC: In the second column) http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/catalogue.html Quote
Hinckley Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 Just out of curiosity, why doesn't that count as four pieces? It just gives a little freebie for figs so we can concentrate on making cool MOCs. I count the torso and head together as one piece... Quote
SlyOwl Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 It just gives a little freebie for figs so we can concentrate on making cool MOCs. I count the torso and head together as one piece... Well...that would have been the case before 2000 :-/ THat's when they stopped attaching the heads in the factory, which I really miss :'-( Quote
SirNadroj Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Well, my entry is posted. *skull* That was quick, actually.... Quote
Batbrick Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Great entry Sir Nadroj! I love the idea of an elf with a flute and fleshie face to distinguish him. Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
ExoBuilder Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Great entry Jordan! I love the MF for the tree! *sweet* Quote
astoriabluelegos Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 The Elflands ContestRules: [*]a minifig (with torso, legs, hat and head) counts as three pieces. This does not include weapons, capes or accessories. [*]There is no minifig limit (army builders ;-) ) Sounds COOL! *sweet* But I don't understand this part^ how can there be no minifig limit if each minifig counts as three pieces? :-/ Quote

In this competition, you can place 99 giant trolls or 33 minifigs on one base plate (which wouldn't be very interesting X-D ). You can put as many as you want, but there is still a limit to the piece count. P Quote

P Giant trolls count as 1 piece? If so, why can't we use 100 of them? :-D Edit (x2) by imperialshadows: Edit by Hinckley: Even in the post you quoted didn't read :-$ , there seems to be a 100th piece already... Quote

Shoc Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) I haven't entered a contest on Eurobricks yet, but I think I might enter this one. I have a good idea... heheh. *knight* Also, does a hat with, say, a small feather in it count as one part or two? I have now modified my avatar with Lego Castle colours to make it more 'castley' in some way, too. *skull* Edited April 8, 2008 by Shoc Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I want do a entry too, but I need for the hair, that comes out of the helmet of my elves a bit playdough for the holding. Is that against the rules? Quote
Hinckley Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 I want do a entry too, but I need for the hair, that comes out of the helmet of my elves a bit playdough for the holding. Is that against the rules? I updated the rules to allow it. *classic* Quote
Batbrick Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Hey guys! I've very nearly finished my entry which was a lot of great fun. Are there any other interesting things to happen in Castle month? Anyhoo, I found some hair which works great for elves if you're interested, it's the Qui-Gon hairpiece, I've used one for my moc and i think it looks great. Batbrick Away! *devil* Quote
LuxorV Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Thanks for the advice, Batbrick *wink* Btw, I find Anakin's is quite good too, like I used for my sigfig *blush* . LuxorV Quote

LuxorV Thats alright, hey you are right too, I like that Anakin hairpiece for that use, In fact, it does seem very much like a "medieval" style hair, thanks *classic* Batbrick Away! *devil* Quote
WhiteFang Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Hey everyone! I just submitted my entries. Feel free to give me any comments! *blush* I know it look very very simple and normal. But i had some limitations with it especially the shield. I use forestmen shield as a replacement. Hope you all can accept it *tongue* Quote
hollisbrick Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 A quick question, would the skellie fig be 6 peices? Quote
Hinckley Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 A quick question, would the skellie fig be 6 peices? No, although that would be logical to count them as six, let's keep all regular size figs as 3 pieces and giant trolls as 1. Quote
