Gotta say, owning only one of the allowed sets I thought this would be really hard to do with my existing collection. But I just took a couple hours today and parted out as many pieces on the list as I had and I found I have over 75% of the allowed pieces! Now I'm up against the challenge of making those pieces look good...

Oh no! I thought this would be home-paged so I didn't bother checking Watto's Junkyard! I've lost a whole 15 days! :hmpf_bad:

Great. I guess I better get building. :look: One question, (I'm somewhat new to EB) what exactly are we attempting to build here? Getting out of a pile of rubble? :sceptic:

(And for anyone who doesn't read the SW forums: I love Jawas. I need that tag. :laugh:)

I'm sorry to announce a change in the rule:

You are only allowed to use your sigifg "for free". Any other minifig pieces count against the twenty piece limit. Any minifig pieces separated from the minifig count as one piece. Minifig pieces can only be grouped to count as one piece when attached to other pieces from the same section of the minifig the way TLG divides them up. Any accessories can't be grouped with the minifig pieces. (So a hand by itself is one piece. A hand and an arm attached together are one piece. The whole torso assembly is one piece, the whole leg assembly is one piece, the head is one piece. Just the torso and the head together are two pieces. Just the torso and just the hips together are two pieces. A torso and a backpack together are two pieces. A hand, an arm, and a gun together are two pieces. A head and a helmet together are two pieces. A Stormtrooper with a blaster is five pieces: legs, torsos, head, helmet, blaster.)

If you have already submitted your entry, please check again the number of extra part.

If you haven't, there is only 9 days left :wink:

Does a link tread individually count as one part, or can a complete assembly (of e.g. 40, interconnected, link treads) count as one part?

A tread link is individually one part.

Only 5 entries so far. You can tell this one has a hard one.

Indeed. Stopped working on my entry after the rule change, but may submit it in it's current state even if it is weak.

BTW, make sure you check the extra piece count on your awesome entry. The minifigs/minifig accessories/extra parts from the sets are not part of the pile, so I think you need to list them as extra parts.

Yeah, I think people are having a really hard time with this one. But I still hope there will be some great entries that will make the wait worthwhile (come on Empre!).

What will happen when there are less than 10 entries? Will there be a round 2 in that case?

As for the new parts rule: I used the binoculars that were included with the TIE Fighter as greebles. I don't think they count as minfig accesories in that case? Should I mention them?

No, it doesn't matter if they were already included in the sets. The rules for minifig part count only applies for parts that you've added that weren't part of the sets. :wink:

To be precise, you mean "The rules for minifig part count only applies for parts that you've added that weren't part of the main build of the sets". Correct? :wink:

I don't actually remember if Bob included extras or not. But to be precise, I mean that "The rules for minifig part count only apply for parts other than your sigfig that you've added that weren't part of the list of allowed parts." :wink:

Aww man! Why didn't you ask for it again?! I know you said you can't access it before, but I thought it was handled via PM afterwards ... Try my link and ask next time you can't download from Bob or anyone else ... Well you still have the whole weekend if that works for you. Else you'll be greatly missed in this battle!

Can you use a 8x8 flat plate for a baseplate? And can your MOC be tiny and only include 20 pieces (minus your sigfig)?

The 8x8 plate will count in the 20 extra parts since it isn't a baseplate.

According to the rules, your entry could be as tiny as you want... but it's a contest based on creativity and part usage...

I couldn't join this battle since I dont have most of the bricks and I cant access to the link of the brick listing.

But I added links to a copy of the llists and palettes to the first post in reply to your complaint :sceptic:

Well, I only have 2 days left, and I don't have any of those sets nor very many bricks right now, so I'm going to make something extremely small, only because there is only one Imperial MOC so far...
