Build A Polybag Contest

Brickset is running a "Build A Polybag!" contest until  the 31st of May.  I figured it may be a good way to introduce people to Mobile Frame Zero so I took a shot a making a few entries.

Here are my creations so far.




This features a mech with extra pieces to act as color markings to keep multiple versions distinct and to help with playability.  It has 49 total pieces and is designed to be used in conjunction with future polybag releases.  Designer's Notes: The upper torso is inspired by Mechanis' Harrier frame.  This is not an actual polybag set for Mobile Frame Zero.  Nor is it an actual Lego set.





An expansion kit for MFZ Polybag 1.  It has weapons and equipment to enhance the play value of the prior kit.  It contains 50 pieces.  It allows you to field -- in conjunction with two MFZ 1 polybags -- two Soldier archetypes, or a Recon-by-Fire and a Brawler archetype, or a Delegator and a Charger archetype, or many other combinations.  From the top down; It has 2 Artillery attachments (gyrojet launcher), 2 Direct Fire attachments (rifle), 2 Melee attachments (tonfa), 2 Spotting attachments (antenna array), 2 Movement attachments (jump jet), and 2 Defensive attachments (armor).  Designer's Notes: All the Attachments are color-coded for ease of use.  This is not an actual polybag set for Mobile Frame Zero.  Nor is it an actual Lego set.


The third polybag idea features one Ruler, three Stations, and three Single Shot Rockets -- allowing you to field the Missile Monkey archetype.  It has 50 total pieces and is designed to be used in conjunction with prior polybag releases.  Designer's Notes: I was originally going to include a piece of terrain instead of the Ruler.  One of these, three of MFZ Polybag 2, and six of MFZ Polybag 1 is effectively a Starter kit.  This is not an actual polybag set for Mobile Frame Zero.  Nor is it an actual Lego set.

Here's my Flickr album for the set of photos.


There's also a "Nine Brick Mech" contest being held by "Bricks'n'Beer".
