Dragon Sports

Post by JoshWedin »

Well, here I go again. This MOC developed out of a day of sorting this one lot I bought. I was messing around with a pile a castle and (gulp!) town stuff and this idea was born. Here is the basic storyline:

My wizard Nilrem mostly spends his time stealing stuff out of the future. The young dragons that live near him come over to play and he has taught them how to use his stuff. These pics show an official event put on by Nilrem and his dragon friends. :)

Let me know what you think! (even if you think this is stupid) :)

Thats pretty stupid... but in a funny way.

You're very creative, I admire that. I wouldn't have ever thought to make dragons racing.

Do the people place bets on which one is going to win? Because you could make like a horse track, but with dragons on motorbikes. :D

Thanks! I appreciate that. I think it is stupid in a funny way too.

Yea, that is kind of the idea of it. I didn't want to build the whole race track so this is just the finish.

Yes, it is definitely wacky. I got the idea while sorting a big pile of Legos and wondered if the dragons could fit on the 3 wheelers, motorcycles, and bicycles. They don't fit on the other two without extra support. :(

Thanks for the comments, y'all! :)

My face hurts from making strange faces after seeing this. Can't say why for sure.....

Looks stupid man. (a good stupid) And very funny. Though the thought of dragons on bikes is scary. Good job.

Hilarious!!!

That is SO funny...

I was hoping to see more futuristicly-zany activities from the dragons....

Sadly, no such luck.

A bit too wierd to really use in a sane story though, in my opinion.

Well...you just might sometime soon. We will see.

Maybe not, I don't tend to do sane very well. :)

How utterly unrealistic! This is way too loose with the truth. Everyone knows dragons are smart, right? And therefore would have had seatbelts and helmets! Fool! :roll:

Ha! Very funny concept. I'd love to see them with a PS2!

Hehe, too funny, too wacky! :D

Seriously, I envy your amount of castle figs! (not exactly huge, but much bigger than my collection!)

These are thrill seekers, after all, they are riding three wheelers! If they wanted safety they would ride mopeds! :)

Thanks, Nathan, I appreciate the comments. There are a lot of figs in those pics. I didn't count them, I just filled up the space. But remember it isn't the amount of the brick that counts, but the quality of the MOCs.

Thanks,
Josh
