Norro Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Hey all, Thought this may be interesting, they are very 'lego like'... Pirate MOCs! God Bless, Nathan Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 14, 2005 Governor Posted June 14, 2005 Simple. Yet great! Why can't LEGO do stuff like this anymore? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 14, 2005 Governor Posted June 14, 2005 The other... This is what 6249 Pirates Ambush should have been! Except with rope bridge rather than one created from bricks. *glasses* Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 23, 2005 Governor Posted June 23, 2005 I shall go to Classic Castle and compliment the creator! Quote
Jipay Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Those two creations show that a set could be simple and good looking. Too bad lego doesn't think the same :'( Quote
eDeevo Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Those two creations show that a set could be simple and good looking. Too bad lego doesn't think the same :'( Have some optimism for the future my friend ;) I am hopeful that TLC will get their collective heads 'out of the sand' & create new innovative & original themes & sets... I can hope can't I?... :-D Life is Good. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted July 20, 2005 Governor Posted July 20, 2005 His second MOC seems to capture the essence of the SYSTEM Pirate theme, yet its different enough to have its own character and not recognisable as anything LEGO has created in the past. See plenty of ideas for new Pirate sets in the world! Now we just have to hope that LEGO does what Norro said. Quote
El Bucanero Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 That is a cool little island, I like the first one better then the second, I don't know why... Lego should do something like this... Quote

I now disagree with my former "seems to capture the essence of the SYSTEM Pirate theme" babble. I don't think it does anymore. See plenty of ideas for new Pirate sets in the world! Now we just have to hope that LEGO does what Norro said. But I still agree with this! Quote
Captain Ironhook Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 The other... This is what 6249 Pirates Ambush should have been! Except with rope bridge rather than one created from bricks. *glasses* this has nothing looking Pirate Ambush because it uses too many more pieces than Lego Factory would ever use. Not that I have a complain upon this but I am just being reliastically. Quote
Norro Posted September 28, 2006 Author Posted September 28, 2006 I still think these have the simplicity to be sets... and you never know if some inteligent person got a hold of the lego production schedule so that they produced greater numbers of sets with greater numbers of parts instead of storing useless parts for ages it may end up cost effective to have sets like this. God Bless, Nathan Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted September 28, 2006 Governor Posted September 28, 2006 How does one get hold a LEGO Production Schedule Mr Norro? Do you know of anyone that has done it for real, or is it just one of these spectulative myths? Quote

God Bless, Nathan What good is the ordinary person owning the production schedule for such a person cannot get these parts unless they buy them from the sets ?? Quote

What good is the ordinary person owning the production schedule for such a person cannot get these parts unless they buy them from the sets ?? I seem to have been misunderstood.... I was merely saying that if Lego ran their company better (in this specific area) larger/more detailed sets would be price feasable... God Bless, Nathan Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 1, 2006 Governor Posted October 1, 2006 And how could The LEGO Comapny be run better Norro? Do you have a better knowledge of operation than the experts they have hired? Quote
Norro Posted October 1, 2006 Author Posted October 1, 2006 And how could The LEGO Comapny be run better Norro? Do you have a better knowledge of operation than the experts they have hired? Common sense goes a long way... and you never know if some inteligent person got a hold of the lego production schedule so that they produced greater numbers of sets with greater numbers of parts instead of storing useless parts for ages it may end up cost effective to have sets like this. God Bless, Nathan To expand on what I said: Lego used to crank out millions of red right wedge pieces in a day, than millions of some other red piece, etc, about a month later they would switch to say blue.... This was done without consulting the set schedule, so the model makers had to limit themselves to what was available in a massive (very expensive to maintain) warehouse, and how many copies of a set was also limited by this warehouse. Which is why Lego often ran out of popular sets and 'couldn't' make more. It also meant that an age of production line to consumer efficency, Lego were just making their chain longer. It is my understanding that this is the exact weakness pointed out by their 'experts' and hence the spring cleaning of 'left over' elements and sale of warehouses in Denmark... God Bless, Nathan Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 4, 2006 Governor Posted October 4, 2006 How do you know all this Mr Norro? Its very fascinating! Now The LEGO Company has had this "clean out" will this improve their production, or will they just mess it up again? Quote
