Pirate_King_1982

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for the nice review. I already planned to get this set but now I will definitely buy it.

As long as they’re not too dissimilar to the 2015 batch I’m good. Yes these could be better, but I can live it.

How bad do you think the Blue Coat torso are compared to the 2016 batch? I'm planning on using 2016 as one regiment and 2023 as another, probably cannoneers and riflemen respectively. I'll still field them side by side, but if difference in appearance is great it will be a pain on the #$$, bit at the end of the day it's a first world problem.

Brown, historically, is colour that is more prone to breaking. Every brown cannon I had as a kid had broken clips, and not a single red cannon broke.

An extension of that concept would be fantastic. It’s a really good set as far as I can tell and it’s on my shopping list, Eldorado and the Viking Village come first though.

Love it. Very WHFB in appearance.

So is this definitely a North American thing only? The reason I ask is because we have Target in Australia, and back in the early noughties Target Australia ran a GI Joe exclusive that the North American stores ran. Of course the North American Target and Target Australia my have distanced themselves in the almost twenty years since. Either way I’m getting this, even at an inflated aftermarket price if needs be. It just too cool not to own.

My dark ages lasted quite not longer and only ended with the release of PoBB, although I did purchase a LEGO City construction vehicles about six months prior. There were times I did consider getting back in along the way and would stop and admire the LEGO from time to time.

Those catalogues provided me with hours of joy. I’d spend so much time looking at the exquisite layouts, dreaming of creating something similar one day. LEGO was such a huge part of my life until the age of about 14 in 1996 when I entered my dark age, and when I wasn’t building terrible, terrible MOCs only a kid would be proud of, playing with my Clipper, Renegade Runner, Eldorado Fortress and Lagoon Lockup, I would be looking at those catalogues. I’d ogle them for hours until they’d fall apart, around such time text year’s version would be out. I would love it if LEGO did make those photos available either as posters, or bettter yet a hard back photo book. The photos in this thread are lovely and remind me of those catalogues so much.

He is a very, very good minifig in his own right as well as great fodder for Figbarf ing. However, I personally think that the POBB iteration of Captain Redbeard takes the moniker of best LEGO Pirate, at least in my eyes anyway.

I think I’m going to use this torso as a merchant for the cutter that comes with the new Eldorado Fortress with the head from the Fire Command Truck that belongs to the workman and one of the pony tail Tricorn hats. The head has two prints, one with a scared face, which would be perfect to represent the terror he’d be feeling being boarded by pirates.

This is a nice ship, kudos. I’d consider using the black versions to make the Iron Ram moc I’ve been considering making for some time but there’s just too much red for a Blue Coat ship. I know there is a black and dark bley hull but that doesn’t come with centre pieces.

Looks like I can enter digital renders. Obviously I missed that the first time reading the first post.

I may do an updated clipper to enter the competition with. I'm going to design it digitally pretty soon. If I can purchase all the bricks and pieces I need before the closing date I'll enter the comp. However, I'd imagine renders can't be entered, only physical models, so if I can't buy the bricks by then I won't enter. If I cant enter I will post pics of the renders in the MOC forum instead for fun. And when I end up building final model out of bricks I'll post that too. Edit: of renders aren't permitted, can I enter with an out of completion entry, disqualified from obataing the prize? It would be fun to enter the comp anyway and take part in the fun.
