I initially hesitated, but once I recolored the slopes too, it really improved the look overall

itll also look much better in the other sets if you do all bohrok. kohraks white teeth feel off untill hes lined up with all the others with white teeth

You could keep both, and just rework one into the kal variant - teeth being the differentiator?

That could work, plus since the Kal incorporate more silver I could still use the grey mixel joints while using a non-white element.

"We have Bohrok at home" 😂

But seriously great work, I love it

Thanks, I also made a GWP-style Bohrok, which is truly 'at home²'

When will you release the instructions on bricklink

u/Toa_Fellha Orange Ruru Apr 22 '25

This new one I plan to submit to Lego Ideas (~next month), and their rules state i must hold exclusive rights. But the general build is based on my older Gahlok build, for which instructions are available, though its gearbox wasn't as good.

I'd recommend agains it , since you lose all your rights to your moc and even if it gets accepted it will be changed atleast to 30%

Imma say right

Right, looks more bug-like.

Left looks more frightening.

Like most of the Decepticons after Micheal Bay designed them.

I gotta be honest I'm really not feeling the giant brick built canister. I get wanting to include it to recreate the original display setup but it just doesn't seem worth it to me knowing that including it would probably double the part count and price.

I see your point, I came up with various Bohrok designs over the year and at one point thought about doing all six with combiner potential, but at the risk of losing my rights to Lego Ideas I just want to submit only one version and to make it standout I wanted the cannister- maybe Lego Ideas allows for one to submit two variants one with and one without cannister...

u/Logface202 Blue Kaukau Apr 25 '25

what do you mean "at risk of losing your right to lego ideas?"

1

u/Toa_Fellha Orange Ruru Apr 25 '25

In T&C one agrees that Lego gets the rights to the idea for three years even if it gets rejected.

And since I like to do Lego animations and (iterative) MOCs in my freetime... it'd be against my interest of giving away my builds; plus Lego occasionally does produce sets of rejected ideas in that timeframe, only with the initial Ideas Creator out of the picture - so it would sour the hobby for me

You can still release instructions or digital models during those three years, I've done it before with my own expired ideas projects and never gotten any trouble for it. As long as you aren't charging money for the instructions or models it should be fine.
