Wow, now this is a challenge. Now I have to make something that won't fall apart in real life. Good luck everyone!

(It can be modern and futuristic right? Like a spaceship cloud station? That's not considered violent or military themed right?)

Heh. Pretty sure a "Bespin" is cool, but maybe not a "Death Star"-alike? =P (Good question though! Given this line, "Build a castle, a cave or your very own Cloud Cuckoo Land! We’re looking for all kinds of cool builds for the sky, so just let your mind flow up to the sky and show us your kingdom in the clouds," it sounds like anything is fair game so long as it doesn't break any of the other rules.)

Edit: Whooaa. So I decided to throw down some bricks in the LDD to get a sense of how big one of these builds could be if they went right up against the specified limits, and maaan, you could make some fairly massive stuff. Especially heightwise. O_o

[geekdaddytoo]

Is the height limit 256 bricks or 256 plates (about 83 bricks)? I am guessing it is bricks but I would appreciate a clarification.

256 plates

I have been trying to make a cloud castle thing, it's not something I am good at though... So I decided to use the style of building I currently have and build a space station like thing that floats in the clouds. (I hope having actual clouds is not required, those may be a nightmare to make especially if you need large ones.)

The cloud itself isn't a must-have as part of the build. Just keep it to the sky is the general vibe we're looking for.

Thank you for informing me of that, makes things a lot better :)

[Lasercat]

Hypothetical question here, if I were to make, say a McDonald's as my creation, I would have to call it something other than McDonald's right?

It's best to shy away from including things that could be tied to other licences, like it says in the first rule:

"Builds must be unique creations not related to any franchises or IP’s"

If you did want a fast food resturant of some kind, make up a fun new name and logo.

hey huys are any of you having to wait a long time for your world to load as thats been happening to me plz could u fix this

[CommanderRed]

Do you mean you have to watch the floating island spin for a long time before the world loads? Or that the world takes a long time to generate in front of you?

I have problems with both; and I know the developers are working on at least the latter. Hopefully the developers can improve the loading before the player can enter the world, also.

Hey Gmr Leon, just picked this up, good to see a familiar name! Not sure I've time for an entry in this one but hopefully find a bit of time for this now I've given up on that "other" game ;)

[HeroSci]

I am getting this error that is not letting me submit my entry, I have tried at least 6 times already.

I'm getting an error too. I contacted LEGO Customer Service a week ago. They have reached out to Rebrick, but they 'haven't heard back' yet. Maybe they'll get back to me Tuesday (due to the holiday).

I tried it on another computer, same error... Contest is almost over, I really want to have my creation in it this time :(
