TDMocs Level 7 MOC Designer
I received your email, Kalgani, and to make sure others understand the position Manglegrat and I have, I'll add my thoughts here.
For anyone wanting to purchase clone brick kits based off stolen designs from places like Rebrickable, you're out of luck in trying to save time and money.
The design revision in the instructions is sufficiently different that the kits won't be of much use. You'll need to purchase additional bricks, and I do not,
and will not, provide support for anyone that asks when that's how they have gone about building it.
Furthermore, and I'll make this clear, for those people wanting to save money this way, I'll instantly request a donation to a worthy charity of my choice,
to a value in excess of the money you would have saved. Arrogant? Petty? Sure. I can imagine many people reading this thinking "This guy's a total dick!".
However, to date, over 150 copies have been sent out, with donations to over 80 different charities, totaling more than USD$5000.
Even the sale of sticker sets has the proceeds go to Medecin Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders).
None of the design team profit from this project, and considerable time and effort went into it's design and production.
I'm not obligated to provide these instructions, and I have rejected offers to purchase and previous donations to organisations that have dubious reputations.
My advice to anyone wanting to build something like this on the cheap... take the free design, drop it into a program like Bricklinks Studio, and figure things out for yourself.
Then ask yourself how much you time is worth, how long you think it will take, and see if you're actually saving money.
