MOC means My Own Creation, and MOCing means creating a LEGO creation.

That would be cool Tom, I hope Two of Nine says yes, it would seem I'm missing a few banners now, oh well, nothing like a fresh start...

Well I think I'll enter LUSI first and then move on from there...

LUSI stands for Lego Universe Scorpion Interceptor...

She was created by the Lego Aqua Faiders, now guardians to the the entrance to the LU.

Some time ago they made a remarkable discovery while touring the depths and ridding the seas of giant scorpions.

They discovered that the mandibles from the fallen beast held special powers that almost altered time itself

They, The Raiders, decided to build a one mini-figure ship that would defy all others and defend against all who's hearts weren't made of Lego

Back to the mandibles, they discovered the mandibles when powered by Ion induction implosion, had the ability to fold space, in other words, travel anywhere, without moving.

They built the first Ion Induction Implosion Engine and Outfitted LUSI with the most awesome weaponry ever encountered, pulse cannons, both side mount and forward, as well as Ion laser Machine guns.

There was still one hurdle left to cross, they needed a clean, viable and renewable power source, one that gave LUSI the punch and power she needed to overcome all enemies, both foreign and domestic...

They quickly found what they where looking for when they turned their mini-figure eyes towards MLN...

You guessed, not one but 2 nebular crystals, where the perfect answer...

The Scorpion Interceptor is now a part of the the LU Guardians arsonal of defensive weapons, speaking of parts, the raiders used all the parts from one of there own models...

So be warned, when the door to the LU finally opens under a green tree house, and you get in line to enter, be sure your heart is made of Lego, or LUSI may have something om say about it...

I love this LUSI creation, it seems so simple yet so effective. I like the red and blue tentacles at the back as well, where did you get them?

Post by: Legodac on November 28, 2009, 09:00:52 am
Thanks Tom, check back soon, I'll have to go look in MLN where I first posted LUSI, the info is there I think

K Tom, I found it, it's kit #7772 Aqua Raiders, I needed a few elemental wind so I put the LUSI on my MLN page.

Hope someone posts soon, I want to submit my second entry, the entrance to the Universe

Cool! I don't think I got that set... ah well, could try eBay at some point.

I used to have four of them, I used one to build LUSI, the other to play with my grandson, the third went to a friends" kid and the forth I think is burried somewhere in the Lego room.

Anyways, thanks for posting Tom..

So here is my second entry...The Entrance To The LEGO UNIVERSE...

      There's an entrance, don't you know?
         To a place, we all must go.

      Now show us who'll you be,
         In the Universe, you will see.

     All our friends are there, so don't despair.
         This place is for us, so get on the bus!

     And when you arrive in a place of wonder...
         Endeavour to strive, take time to ponder

     No doubt you'll be wowed,
         In creations so proud,

    A little brick here and a little brick there
         soon you will have, the power to dare...

So give us a sign, that you will be there
     just one more rhyme, and you will have a pair..

The pair will arise
    to build and surprise

Can you guess who they are
    in a Universe, to far.

Behold the entrance, carefull though, Billy-Bob is hungry...

That creation made you famous on LEGO.com legodac. :D It's outstanding, I especially like the LU sign.
Here's my second entry:
This is my TV and sofa, the TV is based around my iPod, the sofa was made from random pieces.

I think I'll keep quoting Tom's creation whenever I post here, I can't say enough about how cool his model is, the reality, the premise and indeed the proposal of what we are as a species defies all. (I'm saying Tom's is the coolest Lego creation of all time)

Am I reading to much into this? Oh well,

Perhaps I was wrong, let's see...

For Tom....

As I sit and watch, a television show
I am amazed to see, how little I may grow

Communication one sided, and still I see
That a world out there is yet to be

perhaps one day we all will have vision
and bridge the gap between indivision

If you wish, you may join the Brickers of MLNO
There's no telling of how you may grow....

Feel free to rate my poem of Tom's awesome creation, it is in fact, quite inspiring....(the inspiring part here that I speak of is Tom's model)

Here's my third installement for the X-prize


Remember Billy-Bob? He was the first Guardian, an ogre that ate you you if you falsified your entrance to the LU. Well he wanted some help in keeping the Universe safe, he was worried about his waist line see.

The Aqua Raiders complied and formed an alliance with Billy-Bob to protect the LU entrance.

Their first task was land defence, hence the mini-tank, for the mini-aqua raider...
