Stock model
From Brickwiki
- This article is about a classification of models. If you are interested in other uses of the term stock consider going to the Trains glossary.
A stock model is the model pictured on the box of a LEGO set for which instructions are supplied.
A stock1 model requires only that the builder be able to follow directions and therefore is in contrast to MOC. For this reason some AFOLs deride those who only build stock models as being somehow "less creative". However, it is rare to find a LEGO-enthusiast without at least one stock model still assembled on a shelf somewhere.
1 - Stock is used as an adjective in the sense of a standard or factory-original item (ie: the original meaning of stock car racing.)
