Blondie-Wan Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Everyone likes those cute little astromech droids, with their robotic speech and movements. However, in the Star Wars movies, we have not seen the astromech droid in action very often. We haven't? I'm pretty sure I have. Maybe the rest of you have seen only bits and pieces of the movies. But that said, this is a nifty contest. I doubt I'll even get my bricks sufficiently organized to facilitate significant free building in time for this, but I hope to try to enter anyway. Good luck to everyone! Quote

Good luck to everyone! I don't know, I don't recall seeing droids featured all that often (other than R2-D2). However, I only watched the movies once, so I'm certainly not an expert. Let's just put it down to creative license to make the contest theme exciting. Quote
Onlera Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I think I might enter, tho there'll be small point ^^; i've never posted an MOC, and I have very limited parts at my disposal. Two astromechs, tho, which helps, I suppose ^^; Quote
Ultr6L3g0 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Yes, pretty much. It could be a ship, hangar, etc. Anywhere that an astromech could do its job will work. Are there any size limits? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Are there any size limits? There is no size limit for this competition. Quote
Dark Angel Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 How are the prizes gotten I am from Singapore so can I participate? Quote
Erdbeereis Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 How are the prizes gotten I am from Singapore so can I participate? Of course. The prizes will be shipped out to the winners. Quote
gotoAndLego Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I don't know, I don't recall seeing droids featured all that often (other than R2-D2)... They're in almost every space battle, mounted in the fighters. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 They're in almost every space battle, mounted in the fighters. True, but somehow they don't feel like a "star character" somehow. Anyway, it doesn't matter, let's keep this discussion on the contest. Quote

Brickdoctor Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 are there any size limits? You just asked this and got an answer yesterday. There is no size limit for this competition. Quote
Nathanael Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Sounds like I might want to enter, but I have a question first: Is cuting flex tube counted as modifying parts? Edited June 15, 2012 by Nathanael Quote
Erdbeereis Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 Nathaneael, as the tubes come in set lengths, cutting them is not allowed for this contest. Quote
Admiral-Ackbar Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Are you allowed to change your entry until the end date? I mean, change the whole project and re-name it? I know it says they are WIPs but I'm not sure whether you can redo the whole thing from scratch. Help appreciated! Quote
Erdbeereis Posted June 16, 2012 Author Posted June 16, 2012 Are you allowed to change your entry until the end date? I mean, change the whole project and re-name it? I know it says they are WIPs but I'm not sure whether you can redo the whole thing from scratch. Help appreciated! Yes indeed. You are allowed to change up your entry up until the end date in August. However, if you want to completely rename the MOC, then you would have to PM me or another staff member, as only staff can change topic titles. Quote
Stardusty Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 I've just some out of my dark ages and SW themed contest seems like a really good thing for me. It would be silly from me to expect to win, or place in TOP 5, but I'm still going to try. WIth Miniland, probably, since I don't have any astromechs (I might borrow one, though). By the way, UCS R2-D2?!? That's mad! Can't wait to see all the entries. Quote
Flobnomdob Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Could I create a scene from a SW book/comic? I remember one funny part and would like to re-visualize it in plastic. Quote
Admiral-Ackbar Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 When will the winners etc be announced? Also, how do the winners get picked? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 When will the winners etc be announced? Also, how do the winners get picked? Once the deadline passes, a voting topic will be opened, in which exact details of voting will be specified. Once the voting is closed, the winners will be announced as soon as the staff finishes tallying the votes. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 Could I create a scene from a SW book/comic? I remember one funny part and would like to re-visualize it in plastic. As long as it has an astromech droid in it, it's good to go. Quote
UCSProductions1 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 This sounds like a fun contests so I think I'm going to enter. Quote
Obsidious Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Sounds like a great contest with amazing prizes! I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but I am brand new to EB, can I still enter the contest? Quote
