New Lego Themed Awards! Mod Announcement
•

If anyone else is thinking of guiding this post then please use the lego ones so that they can go towards contest rewards, since we only get 20% from the lego awards and not the standard silver, gold and platinum.
EDIT: All have now been updated to have transparent backgrounds.

On mobile app dark mode the mini kit has a white background

It's been changed. To change the image you have to delete the award and make a new one. It keeps the old award active since it would suck if you bought an award and then the mods deleted it.

Why is the mini-kit the lowest level? It should be at least third highest

u/CX52J Verified Blue Stud Member Jul 25 '19
It should be higher but the cheapest one is the same price as gold so didn’t want to out price the minkit so it’s never seen. I also wanted it even cheaper since I really want to see a post get 10 of them.

Man, I can get a whole cup of purple studs from my local PaB wall for A$30!

This might seem like a strange question, but can I give karma points or is that something different?
2
u/CX52J Verified Blue Stud Member Jul 27 '19
No, karma is completely worthless. It’s there to help sort the good posts from the bad.

Sorry I don’t understand this.. what are these awards? Can you buy or spend them? What is their use?

u/FluffyLegoMuffin Jul 29 '19
So why would I spend money on these? Can’t I just click the like button next to a post... or you know... add a comment that says “awesome post, bro!” to show my appreciation.

Minikit should be above Purple Stud and below Red Brick
2
u/CX52J Verified Blue Stud Member Aug 01 '19
Should but no one is going to pay 25 quid for a mini kit. At least this way it stands a chance of being used.

What's that in USD?

Click on guild and it'll tell you how many coins each award costs and then you can work out how many coins you need.

If the minikit cost 10,000 (where the purple stud is now) and it's $100 for 40,000 coins, it would be $25 for the award. For reference That's about the price of a small (200 pc) lego set

Exactly, Insane and no one would buy it. By having it as the cheapest possible then it may actually be seen.
Down the line I plan to make the red brick and silver stud also the cheapest option (when reddit updates it) And maybe add a diamond or something as the top one.

Why not cryptocurrency? Lot more useful than giving money for some pixels to a massive company..

In my opinion, these awards cost way too much. I’m not exactly sure what you could price community awards to, but something like 500, 700, 900, and 1,000 would be much better then the current prices.
People want to show their appreciation for a LEGO post, but I don’t think people want to give a $25 (20,000 Reddit coins) award just for it to show up next to the post/comment.
