Col. Whipstick Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Okay folks, as I'm newly promoted and now able to create polls I thought I'd put this one out there as what particularly impressed me about Lego Pirates when it came out was Lego's attention to creating new animals to enrich the new theme. Hairy Ruben will of course vote for sharks but I wanted to see what everyone else thought was their favourite. Quote
Shadows Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Eeek eek (monkeyspeak for "I voted"). Guess what for. ;-) Quote
Opproperaar Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Aha, interesting, We must see to it that my dear animals are taken care of X-D Hairy Ruben will of course vote for sharks HEY! Now where's the fun in that? ;-) Besides, I might have voted something else... Though my avatar, previous conversations and preferences would definitely stand in stark contrast with such a bold statement! :-P Shiny Sharks ON! *y* Edited January 22, 2008 by Hairy Ruben Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I voted monkeys, since i have a pet one *sweet* Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 22, 2008 Governor Posted January 22, 2008 I've plonked a poll graphic into your thread so the first post gets a dramatic eye-catching lift! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 22, 2008 Governor Posted January 22, 2008 Oh and another thing the recently knighted Col. Whipstick... Aren't the big green lizards technically alligators since they're indigenous to central America while crocodiles aren't? Quote
iamded Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Alligators or crocodiles, they're both very nice. I however voted for monkeys. X-D I don't own one, but they're so cool, and posable, I love the little fella's! :-D ~Peace Quote

Aren't the big green lizards technically alligators since they're indigenous to central America while crocodiles aren't? Well that's again assuming it's all the Carribean and those Islanders (where the crocs first appeared) look mighty polynesian to me and although I'm no zoologist but isn't it crocodiles in the South Pacific? I voted monkeys, since i have a pet one *sweet* Are you sure your girlfriend appreciates you calling her a monkey? X-D Edited January 22, 2008 by Col. Whipstick Quote

Yes the Islanders do look mighty Polynesian but geographically that doesn't work well with Pirates of the Caribbean. I have an explanation for this... The Islanders are descendants of the Empire of Hiva - it's the only explanation why can look Polynesian yet be located so close to the Caribbean. Quote
SlyOwl Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Sharks for me. Chomp Chomp Chompity Chomp! You can fit tons of hands in their stomachs! They're great for playability and an absolute necessity! |-/ 8- Quote

Governor Mister Phes Posted January 22, 2008 Governor Posted January 22, 2008 I can't believe you don't want to know more about how the Islanders originated from Hiva! :-( Quote
El Bucanero Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I like parrots and monkeys... Monrots... Parkeys... hmmm I guess I have to sleep over that. :-/ Quote
SlyOwl Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Pulling off hands and stuffing them into the shark's mouths... That's a little disturbing but then again I used to put the legs in... X-D How did you manage that - they don't even fit! Anyway, arms and hands come out naturally, but legs? Many KABOBs I know don't even know you can swap the legs over!

Paradosis Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Gonna have to go with the monkeys, though the rainbow parrots aren't that far behind. Quote
Capn Frank Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I can't believe you don't want to know more about how the Islanders originated from Hiva! :-( Where the puke is Hiva?! *wacko* Is that even a country Mr. Phred Phes? X-D i voted for crocs/ gators ;-) P Quote
Brickmaster Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Gotta go with the parrots, just such nice little details. And they're quite tasty to boot. Quote
The Daphne Blue Strat Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I love the sharks. Octopi are pretty dang cool too, although I guess they weren't created for (or even featured in?) the Pirates. My absolute favorite, however, is the light-grey saw-nosed shark (real name escaping me?). Quote
Norrington Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Hmm... I can't decide, because as much as I love all animals (except, of course, of one that will maim me X-D ), all these are... not my favorites. I think parrot, if anything. Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Monkeys all the way *wub* They can hold 4 muskets at once, making them twice as efficient as a normal soldier *sweet* How did you manage that - they don't even fit!SlyOwl :-P EDIT: Great poll pic, Mr Phes *wub* Edited January 23, 2008 by TinyPiesRUs Quote
Mofo Jones Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Sharks. They be eatin' machines! :-$ Quote
Col. Whipstick Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 I can't believe you don't want to know more about how the Islanders originated from Hiva! :-( I've already got told off for going too far off topic by that very cross Dutchman only yesterday. :-D Perhaps you should start a thread on the Islander's Hiva origin. Personally I've never considered the Pirate theme entirely dependent on the Carribean, pirates, European Empires, ships, trade routes spanned pretty much the entire world beyond that pond between the Americas.

Dreamweb Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 My absolute favorite, however, is the light-grey saw-nosed shark (real name escaping me?). I think you mean the sawfish. Anyway, I voted for sharks as well. They were my childhood favourites, I love the fact that you can open their mouth and place various body parts inside. :-) Quote
