    Hmm... Would it be possible to commission someone here to make replicas of the sails for the BSB? Originals are hard to come by. I don't feel confident enough to make my own xD I might make a try first though.

    I'll ask this question as well as I got my hands on a Red Beard Runner 6289 but without the sails, does anyone make those on similar fabric that would be willing to make these for me? Feel free the dm me if interested, thanks.

    I've found these figures/accessories to be worth checking out. Some are not available from Lego or other 3rd party shops.The cost is minimal when compared to other custom figs/accessories. Great for army building due to the cost. The quality is not up to par with Lego. I can sell off my lego brand figs for top $$ while replacing them with off brand figs on the cheap.  Some you can see the difference, Some are pretty hard to notice the difference. These LOTR figs are great as you can't get most of them in Lego.  If you wind up not liking them, just resell on ebay or other platforms, throw in the trash or give away as freebies. In the few times I encountered a problem ordering from aliexpress, the seller rectified the problem. I'm in the U.S., so ordering from China can take some time for delivery. Currently awaiting delivery of a bunch of uruk's and elves. Here's a pic of some guys that i painted. Forgive me as I'm old and eyesight is going and hands are shaky. :)

    I had a similar problem as I ordered half length tracks to maximize the layout space and offset parallel tracks.  I can't use those tracks now for that purpose and they will just be doubled up now to make a straight, which will still need connectors. I'll wait until they get fully current on orders before ordering more.  Maybe in the future they will provide direct connect options or maybe I just need to sell all of my lego rail and go full blown ME.

     

    Yeah, and that works fine for 90 degree corners. The trouble is that I was mostly excited about being able to do things like this, which uses a single R56 and doesn't have room for a conversion track on each side of it.

    I've tried to contact them a few times recently via email, but have not had a reply. It's all a little disappointing:

    • I backed metal rails originally on Kickstarter. I hoped to receive something related to my pledge, but didn't expect it, that's what Kickstarter is about.
    • After 26 months of scattered updates, I received an email stating that delivery was imminent. Yahoo.
    • Foolishly (as I'd not seen anything in the way of product to this point in time) I gave extra to extend my order. I tripped my original expenditure.
    • 4 months after I last sent funds, for an imminent order, I have yet to have received anything, and am not aware of any metal-rail backers receiving anything.
    • They are not responding to my emails.

    Now you can all read into that what you want. I didn't want to write this, but I'm not getting any response through their email, and nobody is getting any answers through their Kickstarter page. I appreciate they probably have ongoing problems, but their lack of communication is disconcerting.

    But I feel this is worth writing for anyone out their wondering what's going on, thinking of purchasing, or adding to an additional purchase. I'd happily retract all the above if I ever receive anything.

    So - long story short - I can't offer any updates.

    Happy if you feel the need to PM me (Eurobrick members, or anybody from Me Models).

     

    I couldn't have said that as nicely as you did. :):thumbup:
