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 it'll really be a problem.

As for originality, I personally will give more points to a completely
original creation.  I mean, let's face it - it's not too hard to take an
already-very cool blacktron model, add some stuff to it, and still have it
be cool.   ;)  I think modifications are legal, but keep in mind this is an
MOC comp, not an MOBPCBTLGOC
(mostly-original-but-partly-created-by-the-lego-group-original-creation)
Some judges may prefer completely original to mostly original.

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.

Also, is a man 1 peice? and are things like Battrax wheels 1 or 2 peices?

thanks!
Tom

(...) I believe Lego counts minifigs as three or four pieces: legs, torso/arms/head, hat/helmet/hair, and backpack/neck ornament. It would probably be best to count them the same way. --Bill. (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests)
