Can I join?

TBH as long as the building/vehicle is up to the standard most lego models are, I am happy. I could make my own Helms Deep but I can't make Uruks or Elves.

My list Fangorn Forest Merry, Pipin and 2 ents maybe some trees for scenery. Corsair Ship One of the ships from RotK. 4 corsairs, I would not want Aragorn, Legolas or Gimli and definitely not any of the dead. The more corsairs the better. Easterling Patrol 3 easterlings, Frodo, Sam and golem and some rocks. Again, I don't mind about the heroes, the more easterlings the better. Isengard Pit 3 Uruk, ent some Isengard scenery. Enough said. Mumak A mumak with 4 Harad archers and the guy with the blue face paint, and Legolas. I would prefer if they used a large elephant mold with 4 extra tusks instead of a brick built one. the basket would be brick built of course. The more haradrim the better again If it was an elephant mold it would be cool if it had war paint and entranched arrows printed on. Dunlend raid 3 Dunelend raiders, 2 Rohan peasents and a hut or two. Thoughts?

I hope the wall piece in Uruk Hai army attaches to Helms deep. It looks a bit odd on its own and Helms deep is a bit short on the wall. I hope they do release battle packs without heroes. I would like a rohan battle pack, 5 Rohirrim + Horse and an Uruk one, 4 Uruk Nazgul(maybe) + warg/horse. I hope they release a Gondor wave as well, Osgiliath set - Ruined buildings, Faramir, 2 Gondors, 3 Orcs. Mumakil set - Mumakil (big elephant), 3 easterlings, Legolas, 1 Rohirrim rider. Cave of the dead - Skulls, cave, King of the dead, Aragon, 2 dead warriors. March of the ents - Isengard watchtower + machine things (whatever they had there), tree beard, 1 ent, merry + pipin, 2 Uruk-hai. For Minas Tirith - just don't bother, if they do make it - £100 - £200 but it won't be very good. Just a LotR question: In the battle of the Hornberg were the riders who came with Gandalf just more Rohirrimor were they other people? I think the movies should really have included the ents in Helms Deep, were they in the deleted scenes?

Definatly, definatly A! That would be so awesome!

I only started collecting pirates in the most recent wave. I have: A modified Brickbeards Bounty, giving it an extra deck and 2 extra gun ports. The Imperial Flagship And... The Black Pearl

If lego were releasing a Flying Dutchman this would not be it. This is too complicated to ever be a lego set, and also it is too big to be a lego set. This set would probaly be in the death star's price range. It also completely lacks playability.

Nice video! I liked the start and the end. You forgot to do part of the front (triangle) flag.

How many hull plates does the QAR have?

I bought the Black Pearl. While it is all very nice, I love the figs and the whole look of the ship, I hate the rudder! It is soo lazy and simple.

@runamuck I don't think we are counting magic @hornbricker You never know... if you have ever played Empire total war or Napoleon total war, you can easily sink a fleet of the heaviest ships using bomb ketches and rocket ships.

Nice boat, Greg, I like the sail and especially the fact that it rises with the turning thing. I also like your mini side cannons and the the front gun's holder (I do not know its formal name).

Hi Seagulls. I like your story, it is one of the very Jack-like stories. I like the distraction Jack uses for his escape. I also like the adjectives you have used, many people in the competition have skipped them out due to the low word limit. A very nice story. Well done and good luck in the competition.

Hi Duke. This is a very original entry. I like the poem format because, as you said, the limited words can develop into a better and more interesting story. The poem format does, however, make the story slightly harder to follow. I like your picture as well, it is nice and sets the scene. Other than that this is a very good story and it is very captivating, well done and good luck!

I recently compared the £70 Medieval Market village with about 1200 peices to the PotC Whitecap Bay with the same price tag but about half as many peices. Why does it cost so much? Is this a set-specific thing, as it does include many rare peices? Or is it to do with the licensing of the set? Do most licensed sets cost as much? Thanks

Hi Deckard. Your story is very original in the sense that the characters are LEGO by day but then come alive by night; something I wish my LEGO did when I was younger. I also like the lovely description you used at the start, it really set the scene. I felt as though your story could have done with a picture which would add to the story and make it more memorable, whether it be a pile of bricks on the floor or whatever. Nice story and good luck in the competition.

Alaina, what can I say? This story is very, very funny and is very well written with a good mix of speech and description. I especially like the part where it describes Jack as a beast. As Bricks4fun said, it is a very dark humour which may put some people off but it is also very appealing to other people. This was one of the few ones where the classic pirates won as opposed to the PotCs. Your writing is good and although the others said it was hard to follow the speech I did not find it too hard to keep up as the content was quite character-specific. Well done on a hilarious story and good luck in the competition!

You're right. I think I just looked at it as another random lego pirate ship instead of the BP. If you forget what it's meant to look like it's quite decent.

Toltomeja, this is a very funny story! It is a different area than the other stories, an area probably not related to pirates at all but I don't really care about that. Your story is so whacky and hilarious. You have used lot of nice vocabulary which I like in stories. Having said that, the story is quite hard to follow this is due to the speech being without names. Some of the grammar is a bit bad but you are Polish so I assume your normal language isn't English. Well done on a very entertaining piece of writing and good luck.

Hi CorneliusMurdock. Your story is very well written and constructed. I like your nice description in the second last paragraph as it gives you a real clear vision of what's going on. The cliffhanger was very good and now I want to find out more of what happens. This was a very nice read, good luck!

I think that new picture does make the BP look a lot better and I will definatly buy at least 1. It's based off Blackbeards real ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, although it may be a bit of exageration. I like it. It adds individuality to it.

I love this moc! It looks so cosy. You have managed to fit a lot of detail into a small area. Well done!

Hello Duck. I liked your story and found it very amusing. Your writing is good in most places although these few lines I find slightly annoying: Not because of their content but because of the unnoticed change of paragraph. I say this because most of your text has an empty line between them and I think it would be simpler if you just started a new line without leaving a gap. Because of that it makes it hard to differentiate between changes of paragraphs and speech. Not really a criticism but just something to bear in mind. Anyway, a very funny story. I liked all the Lego references and the red/blue coat or pirate thing was clever. Good luck in the competition. Oh, and what is a brickflick? It doesn;t have anything to do with a chick flick does it?

Hi Comrade. Your story is interesting and creative. It is very different to all of the other entries as there is little action and a lot more story telling. Whether this is a good thing or not is the readers preference. I myself quite like this, I like the style of it as it makes me feel a lot further away from Jack whereas more action based stories I feel as if I was there. Having said that, I don't think this style is the best for a short story and deserves to be part of a longer story (around 1000 words). I wish you good luck in this competition and advise that if any similar competition arises but with a larger word count you should participate with the same style you used in this one.
