I have been looking for this set for quite awhile now as it has some lime green parts that I liked. It was sold out everywhere it seemed but now I have it! Great Parts! As you can see, there is some good stuff in there. My favorite parts are the trans green bubble shields, lime green pohatu nuva claw and fusion parts here, plus the green vent pieces shown here. I always wanted one of those mini disc shooters too. The battle droid minifig has a trans-lime color too and one can never have enough of those arms. This was my favorite of the 15.00 dollar Exo-Force sets this year and I am glad I finally found it. Of course I will not be building the set itself, those parts are going directly into the MoCing box!

Ah, I am jealous, to actually enjoy your job and take pride in your work would be wonderful. 4 grand huh, thats good money for sure and hopefully you will have some left over for LEGO Bricks! Glad to see all is well in your world.

Cant wait to see this one. I wonder if the color scheme will match the drawing you have there also?

My BBC 43 Entry! I wanted to make something unique and original, something that nobody else would make, this suited me perfectly. The head design is something totally new, at least I have never seen it before. I remember Cajun using a similar "Weave" style and I wanted to put my own spin on it. I am hopeful that this entry will do well enough for the finals but it is still way to early to tell. The Leech is commanded by Kalmah since I thoguht he would be the best Barraki to relate to it, allthough Ehlek crossed my mind too. Making the body round proved very difficult, until I pulled out my stash of tires , which worked out pretty well and gave me the shape I wanted.

Cool Wow this has been a busy year for BBC contests! I have been waiting for a theme like this one for awhile now and I have a few ideas I have started to build on. What makes it even more alluring is that the Barraki are directly tied into the theme. This years sets should be a big help in building something aquatic. The contest also states that only 1 MoC can be entered, which should make things that much more interesting come voting time. I doubt that this contest will see as much activity as the last 2 but should still have a solid turnout. Luckily for me this contest is not quite as demanding as the last one. I think I will set my goal for the final voting this time!

Its a great challenging set. But I think they make much better use for MoCing. Keep us updated on the condition of the set.

Well done Bunda, you are well on your way to being a famous MoCist here. Winning a BBC is a huge accomplishment, even more so with the large number of entries we had for this one. Congrats!

Congrats, that poll was very close. Is this your first time into the final round of BBC voting?

I have a question. What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everthing?

First of all, I do not know the whole story and I am going to assume this is a female. There is still hope, just because this "M" is in a relationship now does not mean there cannot be something later on. Stay close with her and give her someone to confide in, eventually she may see you in a different light.

Looks like a very close poll for you SZ, I know from experience what it is like to be in a close poll . You got my vote, making an arachnid cure is no easy task, you did it well.

While I agree his actions were way out of control, I see more and more of young people like him being shut out and isolated. Clearly his mental state was not normal and my deepest regards go out to all affected by this tragedy. It was wrong to act out in such a way, how can somebody harbor so much hate for people they hardly know? I have to agree with him on one statement though and I hope I will not draw criticism for this. Todays society can and does ruin good people.

Diggity, Omi you are a great cosplayer! You have inspired me to go through with my Cyan cosplay, even though my girl called me a dork for going forward with it, after seeing your stuff how could I not? One question though: Where did you get the vest and shirt?

Vote for entry 3 here! First of all, thank you oh so much Tufi for your patience in getting the polls up, you are so good to us . Looks like I am in poll Alpha, hopefully the Rahi of Mahri Nui will gain some votes there. This was another unique contest, not to mention challenging, well for me anyway. This was my first build with my only thought being "make it cute", needless to say I had quite a difficult time making something at least satisfactory. Should be alot of fun to see who will be making the semi-finals! Well there are a ton of preliminary polls again for this contest! I spent about 15 minutes just trying to find my poll, and I thought the last BBC contest had a big turnout! I am hopeful that this voting process will not leave out some of the better and more cute creations due to the huge number of polls. Ill try to get my votes cast in all of the polls and reply to the topics, nothing is for sure though. Lastly, I would like to declare that I will NOT be building anymore cute rahi any time soon. Sorry all but my forte is big and bulky .

Have a look! This was a very challenging contest for me. Building small, cute rahi is clearly not my forte, still I did try and make something presentable and fitting the theme. I swear I seem to have the worst timing, my Armadillo would have been a perfect fit for this contest. That ended up being my 1200th post special MoC though, only about a month ago! I think this voting process will be unique in that the entries will all share the same trait, cuteness. Color scheme, the build itself, proportions, all of that is going out the window and the only criteria to get votes is being cute. Fresh and new, just what the BBC needed a dose of I think, funny how the contest started as a prank and has become what it is now. I am very anxious to see who will walk away with the win for this contest.

I knew right away the theme would be a big hit. The first day we were getting several entries, but I did not rule out the possibility of a prank. I am interested to see what the prizes will be and this voting process should be alot of fun. And I agree 100 percent about the challenge, I have never really tried to build something cute and small up until now. Its been a fun and frustrating building process but I have learned alot from this one. Evil to the guys, indeed.

If you can pull it off it could be greatness. I have not seen a Seahorse MoC, ever. Ill be waiting.

Lower legs have always been pretty easy for me, even for larger creations. Meeting your standards could make it a bit harder though. Something in the works?

Score! So as I was out shopping today, I knew I had to find this game. I ended up going to 3 different stores, including Gamestop and TRU and nobody had it. Feeling bummed out I realized we needed groceries so I headed for K-Mart, which never has ANY new games when they are first released. By chance I took a peek in the gaming section and found 1 of the last 2 copies they had hidden on the bottom shelf. This has been hyped to be the best game on the Wii, hopefully it will not let me down! Does anybody else have it yet? The whole 2-D to 3-D graphic thing has me very anxious to play! Oh yeah, I got 2 Kalmah sets too since I needed one for my BBC 42 entries. The other Kalmah I purchased is for sale! My entries are going rather well I must say, I will have several different types of Rahi ready by the deadline hopefully. Looking to be a late entry for me as I still have much to do and now have this new game to play!

I have to agree with DV about the theme. However it is fresh and new which is good and will no doubt draw a grand number or entries. This is right up your alley Bundalings, I figured you and Seranikai would like this theme. See my reply to DV. -Seran

This is going to be another contest with a great number of entries I can allready see. I was caught a bit off guard for this one as I did not expect another contest to be announced so soon after the end of the previous one. This is great though! The theme has me a bit worried, I do not consider myself a good MoCist when it comes to small, cute rahi so this will be a great test for me. I plan on making the semi-finals at the very least though so I have started working on my entry as I am typing this. This is one of those contests that ANY of us could win, not just the more experienced or popular builders so I am hopeful that I will not be seeing any complaints about biased votes. I look forward to seeing the many entries to come and the voting! Could this contest surpass the last one in number of entries?

Just another set to buy for the pieces. Nothing special about the set itself, much like most of this years Toa. I also pictured Karzahni as a tall and hulking being. Great year for MoCists, sub-par year for set builders.

Wow a TV spot, that could have been me. The agony! Nice to see everything is going well and is not boring, this could be a launch pad to fame for you Roa! Keep us updated on the grand event.

Well I am not the best builder and certainly not a good artist of female torsos, but I will take note of this. I also see alot of those, hormone colored glasses but seeing anything else is likely to draw critics. Sad isnt it? What the perception of a well drawn female has become.

Toys R Us has a great sale going, you can read more about it here. Anyway I got 3 newer sets with some great MoCing pieces, get down to your local TRU and get in on this deal! A nice Lime colored set Large Black Wingies! And more Magnets The AR set is a TRU only special I think, love those magnets. Expect to see new MoCs with these parts soon!
