Useful Pirate Pieces from other Themes?

[Frank Filz]

Really? I never knew that...

Hi there Frank! Do you still have this MOC? Because I have some ideas that might make it look like a decent cutter/longboat.

No, but it would be easy to rebuild.

Has anyone considered the Clikits sea shells and star fish pieces. I was waiting for a set to show up at a local store so I could have a look, but it looks like it's never going to happen. I'll have to bricklink them if they are not too expensive.

'Big Daddy Nelson Y-Bros-K' has made a Piratical MOCBOX utilizing a clickits shell. Also a Clickits Jupiter.

Belleville also has some intersting bottles that I believe will be released in gold in the new Hogwarts. The Belleville dish is another great piece also used in many systen sets nowadays. The Belleville shovel is kind of nice too, but it only comes in yellow.

Wow, Frank I am glad you found us over here! Your page is probably one of the longest standing book marks I have had!

I don't suppose you will be running an ESPG any time soon? :)

Then click on the right on the arrow of 'Aanbiedingen'

Then to page four

I never had internetshopped and I don't think I can help you further

[Athos]

Does this hull piece come in brown?

Obviously I could look for myself but that would be too easy X-D

No it does not!

Are you sure? There was a larger row boat in the Adventurers Amazon Ruins set. I think it might be that one in brown.

Ooops, guess I should have read the second page...

Is this the piece you were talking about (it helps to have pic *y* ):

If it is, it would probably be good for B's governor's mansion. ;-)

If there would be a white version, then it would be useful.

Or maybe I could "paintbrush" it :-D

Yeah, read that second page! Right, there is a brown larger boat, but it is not the same part as that orange colored one.

there is a white one in the cafe corner and i can get a set of 5 at the moment of ebay! :-D

It is availible in white at brick link.

Then nobody has to paint any bricks. ;-)

Can get a couple out of the UK for 0.45 USD each.

for a governors mansion i just used the white long columns i think they look better then the lamp post... or are we talking actually for a lamppost on the model? i was thinking you meant for columns... i dont know... they could be usuful for something i bet...

[El Bucanero]

There are also red lamp posts in one of the HP sets, the Hogwarts Express:

And here's the Bricklink page.

Indeed, they would be useful for both.

And since I plan to build an Napoleonic city, they will be useful anyhow.

I'll try to include some in my next BL orders.

I have made some good progress on my governors mansion. Pictures will come soon.

Thanks for the BL links!

Hello,

Are there any current sets/themes that have lots of pieces that could be used to build ships and forts? Maybe the Vikings, Castle, or Indiana Jones. I want to start buying classic Pirate sets, but they are just too pricey. I'm looking for some alternatives to Bricklink. Thanks.

[Mister Phes]

We've already got a few threads on this topic you might want to check out...

Alternate LEGO pieces for Pirate treasure and Useful Fabuland and Belville pieces

I think there are a couple more but I can't remember their names at the moment.

Thanks Mister Phes, sorry I didn't do my due diligence. It's early in there morning here in California and I'm still trying to wake up.

Let's see. There is of course the Indiana Jones line with a couple sets with some useful elements:

7624 Indiana Jones Jungle Duel (contains cutlass)

7627 Temple of Akator (contains skeleton with conquistador helmet, cutlass skeleton heads and native warriors)

Castle line:

7036 Dwarves Mine

7040 Dwarves' Mine Defender (a cheaper set)

7048 Troll Warship

7979 Castle Advent Calendar

They all contain one or more useful pieces. To mention are the beards on the dwarves and the civilian lady (Advent Calendar). The Troll Warship set contains of course parts that can be used for making ships, etc. such as hull pieces, masts, barrels and a small rowing boat.

Since the Viking line is merely out the door, it ain't worth mentioning since I do not consider it a current line anymore. Same goes for the Aquaraiders Shipwreck set. That set is history and already becoming very hard to find nowadays (in toy stores). It is however available on the internet of course.

I might have forgotten other sets but this is what I can come up with.

[Capn Frank]

How about some sweet looking bottles of perfume rum!

I've bought a few in my most recent B-L order and was going to see if they'll be closer to MF scale than the Flask.

[Capt. Kirk]

Thanks guys...

to show these super nice parts...

keep them coming...

These were included with Hogwarts in "Pearl Gold"

*Sorry no larger pics of the gold set*

Don't forget the "Belville Wall, Door 1 x 4 x 11 1/3 Arched Top"

[Ratshot]

I could use about 15 of those bottles.

[Captain Blackmoor]

Loads of nice parts to use I see, I'm ordering some bottles if I can find some. The silver bucket would be nice too.

Thanks for the info!

I wish there was an arch (beyond that onepiece belville arch) that would fit that door...
