Thanks for the info. Just out of curiosity, how much space is required between two separate tracks? Could I run an outer R40 track and an inner R32 track so I can have two trams travelling in opposite directions? I feel a little apprehensive about running them on R24 tracks but think R32 might not be as bad. However I’ll have reconsider using R32 along with R40 if both trams would constantly colliding and derailing each other and breaking pieces off.

I assuming that these track pieces will allow for tighter curves and smaller diameter track loops?

Yeah after a little investigation Circuit Cubes seem like they’re likely the route I’ll go. I’ll do some in depth research into them tomorrow and find out exactly which parts I’ll need. Thanks for assist guys, much appreciated.

Hi all, I’m currently in the process of building up a small city that has to fit within the footprint of six baseplates x 4 baseplates, and I’m thinking that the Winter Village Tram may be a good way of having a train in my display, as a larger train would end up chasing its tail. Now assuming price isn’t a concern and I don’t mind chasing down parts on Bricklink, would it be feasible to build the tram around an ol 9v train motor and run it on the 9v tracks? I get that there are more modern parts and solutions, but I think that the battery box and receivers and such a look ugly in this particular model and I am.assuming that the 9v setup would use less space, allowing the top half of the tram and the interior to remain untouched. I’m just wondering erring whether anyone with experience in the 9v train range and/or the Winter Village Tram could offer any advice. Any assistance anyone can offer with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance, Dusty.

Thank you kindly for the help.

Hello all, was wondering if anyone could help me out with identifying this part that I assume is a Technic part and if you’re able to, provide me with a part number. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

I prefer this to the Redcoat ship, but it’s not as good as the Clipper. The minifigs are excellent. I think it’s a shame these guys didn’t get more sets, lacking especially was a real base. Both the Bluecoats and Redcoats got a smaller ship than the Pirates, but a bigger base, but they shied away from this trend with the Grrencoats. However, this ship and Redbeard Runner were both very good, even though the rest of the range wasn’t that good by comparison.

I hope so. Yes please.

Wow, what a beautiful ship. Kudos.

A couple of great looking ships, it’s a shame that they aren’t assembled anymore. I especially like the small rRedcoat escort vessel for the flagship.

I agree with others, the ship would looke better with green cannon flaps and better still if you changed out the dark red for red.

I need these minifigs, they’re great. The whole MOC great. After seeing this I could probably say I know which I’m voting when the voting starts.

I’d say maybe size/part count determined divisions so that smaller, simpler MOCs don’t have to compete with larger, more elaborate MOCs. The size of the prize could reflect which division it’s awarded to. Just my ten cents.

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

The 90-95% is spread out between about six or seven vendors, 3 international and 4 domestic. I'm just wondering how I can figure out which parts constitute the 5-10% that are unavailable so that I can create a wanted list of the parts not found, or perhaps changed the settings to 'any' instead of 'new' on those parts that can't be found. I hope what I'm saying makes sense. Thanks. Edit: I felt it prudent to mention I'm using the 'auto select' function.

Hi all I was wondering if anyone can assist me using Bricklink. Is there a way of viewing and possibly creating a wanted list of parts missing when you go go to buy parts on a wanted list so I can keep checking for parts the periodically? I’m purchasing parts for a large MOC and can only get get the match rate to about 90*95%. I have purchased parts from Bricklink before, but alwa in small quantities and have always had a 100% match rate previously. Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I hope we do end up with a rerelease sometime soon. I’m considering buying a second and would love to buy one at retail price instead of the inflated aftermarket prices.

How long after a set goes on sale do sellers start parting out out said sets on Bricklink? People seem to think that the Imperial Soldier torsos aren’t going to end up on PAB because they’re IP locked [whatever that means) and I want to get some from Bricklink for army building purposes.

This goes to verify what I said, not only is this dude great in his own right, but he’s also great fodder for Figbarfing.

I would love an entire CMF series dedicated to Pirates and on to Castle too. I suppose they could have one for Space too, although personally less interested in the latter.

Josh is a funny guy. I loved the video he did with Emmasaurus and ShyTime ranking the Creator Expert Modular’s.

6235 was my first Pirate set and also my first non City set.

I made a mistake, the trapdoor above jail is in the Forbidden Island set.

Thank you for the reply.

Depends on what classifies as a play feature. Caribbean Clipper, Blackseas Barracuda and pretty much every ship had retractable anchors. The 1992- 1997 ships all had working compasses, and the OG 92 Impeial Flagship and Skulls Eye Schooner had their rudders attached to their steering wheels and the former could be moved by turning the latter. However, more in line with what you’re talking about, Skull Island had a trapdoor that dropped a minifig into the jail bellow and Redbeard Runner had a feature where the mast could be knocked over to represent battle damage.
