Okay, there will be a news article sometime soon with the details for how to send in MOCs for BricksCascade (and by extension, any MOCs sent in for Cascade will be automatically sent to Brickfair as well, as I'm the coordinator for both conventions, and so for just one shipment of MOCs, your stuff can hit both coasts). ALSO THERE WILL BE PROTOTYPES FOR ANYONE WHO SENDS STUFF IN.
BUT, that's not what I'm here for right now.
One of the great things about BIONICLE and BZPower has always been the fan input. Specifically the creative outlet output. Which is why I want you guys to send in MOCs and artwork. I want to show off what the community can do, and the BIONICLE community has always been better about that than any other community in the overall LEGO community. So please, send stuff in, and let's show more AFOLs that BIONICLE fans are awesome. And that they should fear how awesome we are.
BricksCascade doesn't think we'll have a large showing, which may or may not be fair, as they say that BrickCon doesn't usually have a large outpouring of BIONICLE stuff either.
But Brickfair does.
And so I want to show the Cascade guys wrong. I want us to have the most amazing display. Full of awesome stuff from our member base.
And to that end, there will be trophies, and though they're not super keen on it, I've got the leeway in my theme to dictate how things will be done as I see fit, and so -all- MOCs sent into BricksCascade will be eligible for one of three trophies. I am also taking myself out of the running, so you won't lose to me by default (if you were actually worried about that? IDK if anyone was or anything, I'm just saying). There will be three categories to win a trophy in, like I said.
But here's where the eponymous "help" comes in.
Category one will be the usual (and only one at Brickfair) "Best BIONICLE" trophy.
The other two? I don't know.
So tell me, what else should we do for trophies? Best little MOC? Best big MOC? Best creature? Best humanoid? Best use of parts? Best fusion of system/BIONICLE?
Let's crowdsource this thing. Let's do what this community does best, and let's get some community involvement in the theme we all know and love. Let's make this year's convention season a smashing hit for BIONICLE.
So, in this entry, leave me trophy ideas. I'll pick from among the ideas listed.
And all trophies will be built by me as well. So they'll be awesome. I've already got the "Best BIONICLE" trophy idea mapped out in my head (and as soon as I have real parts again, I'll build it and show it so you guys know what you'd be competing for if you mail stuff to me).
So, yay us!
