I don't think we'll worry too much about amount of pieces, really. A minifig counts as one piece, I would think. If your model ends up being right around the border, then contact us and we'll decide which category it will go in. But I don't think (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests)

I just picked up two deluxe transforming Gundam mechs from TRU. They were each $15 bucks although they usually retail for $30.

Hi, I have a question about the Blacktron comp. How original do the entries have to be? I remember a few entries in the last comp were modified versions of real sets.
