In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Wow awesome boombox. That is it. I'm not even gonna vote for myself now...to many amazing items being made.
My entry! Started off thinking of the wheels as eyes, and the mudguards as eyebrows/lips.

You all are killing any motivation I had to join the contest. Anything I'd create would look like junk compared to what I've seen thus far.

I got some really great ideas, like a huge mech with that head...I just need more parts
Do not be discouraged by the awesome entries. Be inspired. Look at the unique ideas others used and let it spark your own.
I think others probably feel this way, but all entries show me something new I never thought of trying and that excites me. It gives me ideas to use later. That is one of the things I love most about these contests.
Some great stuff here.
Can't find this set. I guess it hasn't been released here yet.
Someone on a local auction site is selling it for $78 though. :/
To console myself I bought a series 9 mini fig and got the one I wanted - chicken suit! How much do mini figs cost in US? They cost NZ$5 (~US$4).
Might go play with my moc#1 set

I finally found the set today. Minifigs are $3.49 in Canada, and I believe $2.99 in the US.
Great looking Mech there!
I DO have to subtract one point though on my personal coolness factor scale for the semi illegal use of an awesome minifig like that which makes a lot of sets look better instantly ;P
SHINY HD BONUS EDIT said:Forgot to show that the piledrivers can be stored on the back of the shoulder engine.
You also get a cleaner look at the standalone Powerhouse Mech in case you feel that Rex makes the model look better than it is.
I may join in on this. I have never tried this and don't MOC much, but this may be a good way to start. Sounds fun.
I'm gonna start looking for this set and see if I can come up with something.
That's sad to hear. Maybe try again? We all do this for fun and not to laugh at each other, every MOC is great.Tried to build some entries today, did not go that well...
* my first idea went down the tube as I could not get one of the key features to work
* my second idea ended up being 10 ideas on the same time leading to nothing.
Well it was fun to build around, did not give me that much to show :/
However as I tried to build I really started to think that I really got some great parts when I bought this package.

But to prevent this, do you think it would be a good idea to make the entries secretly and reveal them only for the voting?
View of the inside and a little of the parachute pack on the back.
Better shot of the back.
Closer shot of the sides. Wish I had a little bigger wheels to work with in the back, Instead I had to raise the back up.
Top down view of the interior. A little hard to make out, but there's a seat there as well.
Left over pieces.
Mean Green Dragster
Tow Truck
Slick dragster!
Awesome executions! It's difficult to get proper proportions and details for something present irl
I had a dragster during construction phase, but decided to finalise this
Some great models!
I like the tow truck best so far. I like originality and creativity, but I value execution more highly I guess.
Also, I have to unsubscribe to this thread. It makes me kinda sad that I can't play (and I want the set anyway - it looks like a fun set!).
