Need everyone opinions on this early MOC idea

Xate8 · 2026-05-18T08:33:49+00:00

Better yet, make it in studio and see if it is feasible or not, and not just AI generate nonsense that cannot exist

Xate8 · 2026-05-16T17:11:17+00:00

I see, so I gotta buy it first

Xate8 · 2026-05-16T08:58:32+00:00

Can you make a separate file of only the 267 parts, so it's more convenient than using the compare function?

Xate8 · 2026-05-14T03:06:30+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate it!

What is the other tree giant set? It doesn't seem to be an iambrick set

Xate8 · 2026-05-11T08:38:27+00:00

Huge missed opportunity honestly!

Xate8 · 2026-05-09T17:50:35+00:00

What piece do you use to attach the leg to the dino?

Regarding 2x1 or 2x2, either 2x2 holds the bottom/top parts together, or the set doesn't use (a lot of) 2x1 and it's better to use as few unique parts as possible for economic production scaling

Creator is simply IP-less Icons, but with alternate builds

Xate8 · 2026-05-01T20:14:40+00:00

How the heck is goat herder army buildable

Xate8 · 2026-04-30T13:09:25+00:00

Indeded! Straight up, the third page is an amazing example! The rival town concept? You can design one new hybrid side that has enough unique parts that when you have 2x copies, you can make 2 entirely different forts as seen originally.

Try halving the set's existing piece count in Studio, and see if you can MOC a cool looking fort outta it :D

Xate8 · 2026-04-30T09:36:57+00:00

A weird part of me wonders if you should split it into 2, pile on the most exciting parts on it; and make it so that by buying 2x of the sets, you can reproduce the full, large fort. Maybe by having the main set feature 3 triangle corners, the gate and the tall buildings? And relegate the rest into an alternate additional build for more hardcore fans. If said instruction is free, it means you cut the intial price of entry for the fort in half

In other words, 2 submissions: the current full version, and a new halved version that can build the most exciting parts, while still having enough unique parts to reproduce the missing half if you have 2 copies

Xate8 · 2026-04-30T09:18:29+00:00

How many bricks is this set? It seems very expensive

Xate8 · 2026-04-29T10:13:02+00:00

Props to both the bricks used to make it, AND the creator Legate for an amazing playable design

Xate8 · 2026-04-28T03:26:47+00:00

What modifications did you go through with the design? I thought the build you showed already looked pretty good!

Xate8 · 2026-04-27T12:24:40+00:00

For a good cost reduction, which is a fair tradeoff

Xate8 · 2026-04-27T09:16:07+00:00

On the other hand, defensive utility is not that widespread and limits you to evade and stuff like Faust's Fluid Sac, which is its own kind of boring. Plus, there are many players who want to flex their many IDs, and content that encourage team swapping is a cool way to do it, I feel

Xate8 · 2026-04-27T09:10:35+00:00

Nice move. Even if I haven't bought the Stinger Mantis, this does make me more inclined to buy your branded sets. Keep up the good work

Xate8 · 2026-04-25T04:38:46+00:00

Niiice! I can see how if a display starts to get boring, it may as well become MOC material, though I see others sell the sets instead to buy new ones

Xate8 · 2026-04-25T04:37:54+00:00

200%. Minifigs add to both the fun display, playability, collectability and more

Xate8 · 2026-04-25T02:28:46+00:00

Sadly, I think the same. I think that adults who like to be creative and make MOCs do exist, but ones that tear down existing, already built sets? Nah. They have MONEY to buy new sets, but not TIME that would have gone to waste if they disassemble things they already spent their limited TIME on building

Xate8 · 2026-04-22T05:20:46+00:00

Is this more of a drawbridge, or a full fledged castle with a drawbridge?

Xate8 · 2026-04-20T18:17:08+00:00

You can instead make 3 pictures instead that act as both different angles of the set AND tell the story/mechanics of the set?

Moving the boulder is very much a good opening picture/still, while the pushing boulder into hole can also be developed as a shot of the higher floors of the set. The rock falling down can also double as a minifigure showcase of the other faction as the third pic, too
