General FAQs
Everything you need to know about mocables, featuring, and how to get started. Can't find an answer? Chat to us on Instagram or email.
What is Mocables?
A creator-focused platform built for MOC creators like you, to feature your builds while making sure you're properly credited. Want to sell too? We handle the bricks, fans get instructions and parts in one place.
Is Mocables the same as EasternBrick?
Think of us as siblings who grew up in the same household but ended up living completely different lives. One went off to build EasternBrick, taking on the big boys over pricing that's gotten a little absurd. The other went off to build Mocables, championing independent creators and fighting off design pirates, so you get properly credited and supported for your work.
Do I have to sell my design to get featured?
No. Being featured, on EasternBrick, on Mocables, or both, is completely separate from selling. If we love your work, we want to show it off. No strings attached.
What goes into a creator profile?
A bit about you as a builder alongside the MOCs themselves: what got you into building, your style, how long a build like yours takes. It's meant to introduce you as an artist.
Can I choose which builds to submit?
Always. You decide what goes up, when, and whether it's just for a feature or also available to buy.
Does every build get reviewed before it goes up?
Yes, our team takes a look at every build before it goes live, just to make sure everything's set up and presented at its best before it's out in the world.
Is there a cost to sign up as a creator?
No. Creating a creator profile and submitting a MOC for review doesn't cost anything.
Why start with a small group of creators?
We're keeping this pilot curated on purpose, it's how we gain real feedback and grow the platform together with you and the other creators actually on it, instead of scaling before we know what works.
What's the instructions tool? (Beta)
A tool we built in-house, and use ourselves, to make writing and formatting build instructions less painful. It's in beta, so we're actively looking for creator feedback on it. If you're interested, sign up here as a creator and we'll get you access to try it.
How do I actually get started?
- Step 1 — Sign up as a creator
Create your profile at mocables.com.
- Step 2 — Upload your Studio file
Showcase your MOC with us!
- Step 3 — Upload/Make your instructions
Already got them written up? Add them here. Otherwise, you can use our instruction tool to make one!
Who do I talk to if I have more questions?
Reach out on Instagram at @mocables, or email samantha@easternbrick.com directly. We're a small team and happy to just talk it through.
Getting Paid
Royalties, fulfillment, and what happens after someone buys your MOC.
How does the money side actually work?
When someone buys your instructions, you earn a royalty automatically every time it sells, no invoicing back and forth. We also handle refunds and sales tax on our end.
What's a Creator Royalty?
It's the share of each sale that comes back to you as the designer. We keep the rest to cover sourcing the bricks, packing, shipping, and the operational side of things.
How do I track my builds and sales?
Once you're signed up, you'll get a creator dashboard where you can list all your MOCs and see live stats and updates on how each one's doing.
What do I need to provide, and what does Mocables handle?
You handle the design and the building instructions. We handle sourcing the bricks, quality checking them, packing, and shipping whenever an order comes in.
What bricks does Mocables use?
High quality alternative bricks. Clutch power and tolerances are comparable to, if not better than, the official sets, so builds hold together the way they're meant to. Curious what people think? Check out real customer reviews here: easternbrick.com/reviews.
Can I still sell my design on other sites too?
Of course. Joining Mocables doesn't mean giving up anywhere else your designs are already listed.
