Thank you sir. We ARE in the market for possible guests. So if ANYONE is reading this, and that interests you, let me know.

Here is my Pirate Ship collection. https://youtu.be/xjcH4fFfMrk

Mind you, we have done all of this within two episodes. We are going to have the CEO of the company on for our next episode. https://youtube.com/channel/UC50b5lE9uPEcrKqmuq9QE6g

The majority of my ships are just out of the box sets. I got the Flying Dutchman instructions from Brickstruct.com. I bought all the pieces from BrickLink (I'm a seller on there as well, so that's where I get most of my pieces). The Saint Mary (is half the Silent Mary and half Imperial Flagship). I got the pieces for the flagship from BL as well. The Silent Mary, I bought 3 or 4 of them when they were still on stores. As for the Live Show, I am actually a co-host on a fast rising show about the home arcade console, the iircade. Our show is called The iiRcadians. I can post a link, if interested? Anyways, I'm going to be taking a similar approach to my Lego show. It'll be something different than what is currently on YouTube. Not just building live streams, more indepth than that. Pirates will be a BIG part of the show.

I'm always interested in a new ship!!! As a matter of fact, I'm actually planning a Lego centric Live Stream show in the next couple of weeks. We collect Pirates, Castle, City\modular buildings, LOTR, Harry Potter, trains, etc. Our entire Lego layout is rather large, while our "city" isn't as impressive as other Lego Youtubers, the diversity of themes in our layout is where our collection shines. My wife is also a HUGE AWFOL (shes actually in the middle of an AWESOME minifig scale hogwarts). I'd post some pics on here, but she would kill me, lol. Not until it's done. For me personally, Pirates are #1, followed by Castle. The Flying Dutchman (and to a lesser extent, my Saint Mary MOC), are the ships I always DREAMED of having, especially when I first joined this site. Seeing everyones REALLY impressive ships, really made me long for some impressive ones as well. Eventually, I want to give my Black Pearl and Queen Anne's a proper upgrade.

I got out of my Lego "Dark Ages" in 2014, so all of these ships are since then. Like I said in the video, Skull Eyes Schooner and the OG Flagship were my ships of my youth. Pirates has ALWAYS been my favorite theme to collect for. Thank you sir!!!

Here is "my" Flying Dutchman. I say "my" because, while I didn't design it, what you see in the video is indeed mine. The MOC itself was designed by Brickstuct.

I'll go on record and say it's CLEARY the 2nd best official Lego ship to date (only behind the Imperial Flagship).

Here are some better pics I would upload more, but the site wont let me...

So I recently completed the Brickstruct.com Flying Dutchman MOC, and all I can say is WOW. I will have a full video review coming in the near future, but until then here are a few pics I snapped to show it off a bit. Some of the features include 4 stern decks, 3 main decks, brig, captains quarters, Davy Jones' organ room, kraken "caller", and more. Like I said stay tuned for a full video review where I will go through EVERYTHING. Follow the link to my Facebook page to see the pics. https://m.facebook.com/MikeyJProductions/photos/a.2011609038854972/3310447078971155/?type=3&source=54&ref=bookmarks

The site wouldn't let me post the pics because they were higher than allowed MB's.

Having seen the leaked box pic, I gotta say I am impressed. I cant wait to see better pics.

Hello, here is an update on my ship The Saint Mary. I meant to put this in MOCS, sorry.

Here is our build of the Harry Potter Quidditch Arena. Thanks

Thanks. It's one grey baseplate in size. We didn't want something bigger than Hogwarts Castle, which I think it's perfect size for next to it. Which our Hogwarts is not the out of the box version either (but by no means as large as some out there). So we wanted it to be an appropriate scale to the castle.

Here is my latest MOC, an improved version of the 2009 Soldier's Fort set.

Hello everybody, here is my WIP pirate/medieval display I'm working on.

I HOPE we see an entire wave of sets, I'll find room in my display to make them happen (especially if they are red or blues). Greens I would have to do some reconfiguring, but that's ok. Heck I even hope for 2 more ships (Pirate and Soldiers). Even though the ships are harder to find sufficient room for in the display, I'm at the point that "lesser" vessels just get retired aka given to my son to play with. Or if that doesnt seem plausible, I'll just make a shipwreck island or something similar out of one. So I for one WELCOME a full wave of 2 large sets (pirate and soldiers), 2 ships (same), and plenty of smaller sets. As for rumors... Only what I've heard on this forum, sorry to get your hope's up.

Thank you. Yes, I LOVE the classic Lego Pirate sets. They are my absolute favorite sets Lego ever made.

Lack of room tbh, as well as it being more difficult to acquire minifigs to fill out the army/navy. I currently have 6 or so, plus a few that I've brick linked together. But that PALES in comparison to the amount of red and blues that I have. I entered my Dark Age around 1994-2012, so I completely missed out on the Green Coats. While I had a pretty large collection of reds and blues when I got back into Lego. Every faction HAS to have a castle/home base in my layout. Which my original green castle was Helm's Deep, but I have since made a LOTR display, so the greens lost their castle. Another reason was the IFS just plain looks better as a Blue Coat flagship imo. So giving them the IFS, and making my Saint Mary my Red Coat flagship just seemed a viable solution. So even though The Saint Mary was intended to be a green coat ship, they had to lose that as well. So when I added all these reasons up, the green coats just had to go unfortunately. Perhaps someday things will change (that's the beauty of Lego ?). At this point, that would probably only happen is if these 2020 Pirate set rumors are true, and the Green Coats are featured. So I guess we shall have to wait and see. You are making me feel bad for them, lol. Thank you. I hate to say it, but for the last 2 years or so, my Pirate/Medieval layout has gotten the short end of the stick. I was never satisfied with how things looked or how they were placed, etc. I also had some MAJOR lighting issues in my basement, and they were in the "dark" part, so they kinda got ignored. So we spent a lot more time on my Lego City, which was fun and what not. But truth be told Lego City's are pretty common. But Pirate layouts on the other hand... So when we got the lighting fixed, I made it a priority to give them proper attention. Which even since this video I have made 2 more MOCS as well as updated The Saint Mary Which I will have videos for all of this in the near future (I'll be sure to post them on here). One of them is a SUPER Soldiers Fort inspired by the 2009 set.

I just saw this on FB, thanks for the share ?
