InnerRayg Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Greetings and welcome humanoids, bipeds, quadrupeds, reptilians overlords, gas-based psychomagic lifeforms, and all other intelligent and pseudointelligent life in all relevant dimensions! The LEGO Alien HuntersTM need your help! As you know, this wildly successful line from the LEGO company features the adventures of a team of warriors with only one mission: defeating the alien menace! The team is a group of highly trained space fighters with specialized weapons and skills. Unfortunately defeating the alien menace isn't so easy without a little backup, and that's where you come in! The Alien HuntersTM need vehicles. They need a home base. They need weapons. And you're going to give them to them. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is this: Design a set that could realistically be released by LEGO for the Alien HuntersTM line. This could include vehicles, playsets, weapons, or whatever you can come up with. Maybe they need a dropship to land them in enemy territory? An all-terrain vehicle to traverse the alien worlds they travel to? A cannon to blast those ugly bug eyed meanies to kingdom come? Or just a simple hover bike to hop over to their favorite interplanetary lounge after a hard day's alien killfest? You tell me. The winning designs will be picked by a team of judges Me, Darth Vader, and Tufi Piyufi. The top three will each win a Galaxy Squad set and a cameo in the comic BZPStuck. In addition, the winning designs will be used in an upcoming project. Thematic considerations: Although you're welcome to include conflict in your designs, designing elements or vehicles for the alien menace will be considered TREASON and won't be considered in the judging process. (It's not going to disqualify you though don't worry, we just won't consider the alien components). Custom elements or decals are in fact, accepted. They are not required. This is just to allow you to really create the sense of a new theme line. Minifigs are not required. There are no piece limits or build restrictions, but the intention is to create something that could reasonably be released as a set. This covers a pretty wide gamut everything from the small bag sets to the gargantuan 100 dollar builds you'd see in any other lego line ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Entries begin being accepted as soon as this topic is posted, and will stop being accepted on Saturday, December 28th at 11:59 P.M. EST. You are more than welcome to enter MULTIPLE ENTRIES, (up to three) but you can only win ONE PRIZE. To enter, simply post a link to your .jpg or .gif entry picture in this topic. Your entry post in this thread should appear as follows: Entry Name: Entry Pic URL: Topic URL (if applicable): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A running tally of entrants will be updated daily IN A SEPARATE PINNED TOPIC, which will be posted shortly after the first entries are received. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Judging Process: Judging begins December 29th and ends January 5th Entries will be judged on: Technical Ability (How well is it built?) Aesthetic Quality (How good does it look?) Thematic Cohesiveness (How well does it fit the theme?)* Each judge will determine a score out of 10 for these criteria and average them for an overall score. They will then average their individual picks to find an overall winner. *This just means it's a spaceship. If it would fit in any given Lego space line, it'll fit here. If it's a covered wagon with a horse pulling it or a firetruck, it won't. It's kind of a gimme category. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rules: 1) Your entry may not have been published prior to the start of this contest. You may make your own topic before posting in the official entry thread, but you must create a post in the entry topic before it is closed in order to be officially entered. If, after posting your entry anywhere on BZP but before officially entering it (including the blogs), you modify it and then enter it, you will be disqualified. You may only start one topic for your entry. Please post only one main pic in this entry thread and a link to the rest of the pics in the gallery on your image host (most likely Brickshelf, Photobucket, or Flickr). You can do pictures as normal in your own separate thread. If you need help posting pictures, please see this topic. 2) Don't PM the contest host unless you have to. Ask questions in this topic and the host or an assistant will answer it. 3) Painted parts are ALLOWED. No non-LEGO parts. All other LEGO parts are fair game. Pictures in which the appearance of the MOC has been edited in Photoshop or other editing software are also prohibited. If either method is used, the MOC will be disqualified. The background may be edited, as long as it does not alter the appearance of the MOC. 4) Maximum three entries per member. You cannot switch or modify models mid contest. Once you have entered, you may not "un-enter" your models and enter new or modified ones in their stead. You may opt to bow out of the contest for whatever reason but you cannot reenter under such a situation. If you get disqualified for any reason, you will not be allowed to reenter with another MOC in that contest. 5) Any flaming will result in disqualification from the contest. Competition is good if you keep it clean. Everyone play fair, NO WHINING, no insults. I reserve the right to DQ any entry at any time for any reason. 6) Absolutely, positively NO CHEATING! Anyone found to be cheating or even suspected of cheating will face immediate disqualification from this contest and will be banned from participating in future contests. They will likely also be banned from the site. Mods know this information, so you're not fooling anyone but yourself by thinking you can get away with it. We run a check on people with multiple accounts too, which is an offense that results in banning from BZP entirely, aside from the contest... DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. 7) No "this is unfair" posting. Some people have more parts, money, time, gigs left on your hard drive, etc than others. That's life; we each have to do our best with what we have. Any excessive complaining may, at the judgment of the contest runner, disqualify you! 8) Discussion is encouraged. Feel free to ask questions about models you see or about the contest in general. 9) The contest is open to all BZP members, and voting is open to all BZP members to participate in even if they did not enter an MOC. "Advertising" your MOC is fine by making a signature or avatar reminding people to vote for you, but mass-PMing is frowned upon and will just get you disqualified. Advertising your MOC in someone else's thread is also a major no-no. Spamming may result in proto loss or even post-count reductions, so don't do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prizes: The winner will receive Galaxy Squad set Warp Stinger 70702. Second place will receive Galaxy Squad set Swarm Interceptor 70701. Third place will receive Galaxy Squad set Space Swarmer 70700. All three winner's entries will be making appearances in a future project, and if the creators wish they also have an open minor guest spot in the comic BZPStuck. These sets might take a little while to get to you, fair warning. I am buying them myself and donating them for this contest. So what are you waiting for?? Get building guys! Can't wait to see what you come up with. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edited December 19, 2013 by InnerRayg Latest Update: STORM AND SAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanakalackin Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Could I use LDD as long as the parts are standard? I'm kind of without my system stuff since we just moved to Italy. I didn't see anything about it in the rules, so I'm assuming that it's okay. But I just want to be sure.

Gatanui Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) That. comic. is. so. AWESOME. Seriously. This is EXACTLY the kind of contest and promotion BZPower needs right now. Thank you, Ray! The entry period is very unfortunate, though, as it ends precisely when my holiday starts, so I fear I'll have to pass (and I imagine many more people will). Is there no chance to have the entry period go a week longer? -Gata Edited December 8, 2013 by Gatanui - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

believe victims Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Entry Name: Burt BalladTM's Space BlazerEntry Pic URL: Here (or here if necessary)Topic URL: Here The reason why I've linked two entry pictures is because I was unsure about the one on the space background. As you can tell by comparing it to the other entry picture, I messed a bit with Photoshop to make the colors a little more true-to-life, but I'm not sure where that falls under the rules against editing the appearance of your MOC. Therefore, if it's against the rules, I ask you use the latter entry picture; if not, I ask that you use the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
