    The Black Pearl from POTC

    Minifigs- i made them in flesh as TLG makes all movie figures.... More pics from here Black Pearl enjoy... I'm going to build Flying Dutchman to battle against this well description should be "minifigures" but you know what i mean...i suppose..... is there anyway to edit that section anymore? Seems that there is not...

    well that topless thing was mainly just a joke but still... we have seen severed hearts and brains in potc so why not natural breasts there is bare breasts even in some pg-7 movies like Voyage of Columbus (and isn't it ironic that small babies see breasts all the time and then when they are slightly older it's inappropriate ) lego won't make topless girls for sure but doing accurate figs is kinda hard- but there is topless men and lego figs don't seem to have nipples (any more than noses or ears )- and female figs already have boobs - are they going to do what kind of prints to their torsos is a good question- perhaps printed hair covering invisible nipples and then molded hair that covers print that is kinda useless... it would still be a topless torso- lol- very useful for humour mocs

    i was just thinking how TLG can do accurate figures of mermaids if mermaids in move have nothing to cover their breasts movie can show mermaids being underwater and so on but minifig would be hard- will they add seashells or something there then?...just thinking

    Hey thanks i didn't see those before she looks great but it annoys me a bit that headpiece is not in it's place in those pics

    But that error was easy to avoid- other Potc's had 1700s union jack... and it seems that we indeed see topless ladies in disney movie- but not very closely Nope- kid can invent new adventures for Captain Jack Sparrow or use parts to create own characters and stories- legos are so good in that way

    Review: 7985 Temple of Atlantis

    Well i think that Davy Jones has ready crab hand now for his minifig version it's really clear that whole this theme was partially practicing upcoming Potc-line- i love those columns too and King Neptune and all... great set... also Kraken has tentacle parts there

    I haven't seen any high-res pics of Shaak Ti- Saesee seems to have sort of celebral edema so i hope Shaak doesn't have same problem is it just me or has new Luminara new headpiece too- it looks too high as well are they going to compensate missing Ki-Adi-Mundi by making all other jedi have a huge head too???

    Trailer looks good... but they're messing up with the flag of Great Britain.... Union Jack was historically correct in previous trilogy but now that St. Patrick's cross seems to be added there - really it wasn't there before 1801.... still even more odd is that it seems to be also continuity error because on-set photos had old union jacks without St. Patrick's cross......well who cares if movie is good....? Ok- interesting question concerns about mermaids... are we really going to see topless ladies in disneymovie i am not seeing any bras there aaaannndd what about those rumoured mermaidfigures- are they movie accurate too .... makes some interesting torsos then

    Interesting real life history is that Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge sank long before his death and he died 1718- Potc however seems to take place 1740s- after golden Age of Piracy- and now when new movie supposedly even shows us kings of Spain and England from that era (Ferdinand and George II) it's even more clear that Blackbeard should be dead and QAR sank- but remember Potc- dead are carried to the other world by Davy Jones and he didn't do his duty- meaning that both Blackbeard and his ship were in Davy Jones' locker.... it seems that guy managed to escape like Barbossa and Sparrow did or he made a deal with Jones or something... so this QAR is not normal ship anymore Good that Liz is not going to be Padmé of Potc - well she can become one- Padmé figure was made 1999 for Star Wars line and since then- she hasn't been in any set- even though character is leading female in all 3 prequel-Sw-films and in the clone Wars tv-series ...... well Keira Knightley was Padmé's decoy in Star Wars episode1 so Keirafig will have a good head for Padmé as well ironic- Padmé can be found from non-star wars set- better than no her at all ummm.... yeah in that set she will be ms. Swann..... no chinese pirates or Davy Jones.... too bad Chow-Yun Fat as legofog is really needed

    LOL- unbelievable that my cr*ppy customs actually fooled someone No those aren't official and i am not involved in design of the official figs so they will turn out to be quite different.... still no Black Pearl in the first wave of sets....

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    You mean in-universe - it's very different- based on similar design but in much bigger scale- it very different actually- different motors different "Jaws" it's not "slightly modified" but completely different craft...

    One word TLG PADMÉ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we haven't seen her since 1999 and she is main character, importnat character, action character, popular character and mother of Skywalker twins... what TLG has against her? we get Onaconda Farr (?????????) and even long awaited Nute Gunray, Palpatine as chancellor.... and Thi-Sen (?????) Why there is no new Padmé?!?!?!? She is main character in TCW and appears in upcoming lego TCW video game.... it seems that lego can make anyone else but not her.... Bail Organa is needed too, Lott Dod, Riyo Chuchi, Satine... but most importantly Padmé where is she....? I also hope there is Ki-Adi-Mundi in geonosian fighter TLG has made lots of jedi lately..... They should make anakin's shuttle from Grievous Intrigue with Adi Gallia and Eeth Koth. Also they need to make commandodroids and aquadroids- Trident craft of Asajj Ventress would be an awesome set.... and they have to make 501st battlepack from Rots.... there is still lots of sw for TLG top make.... but first they should redo Padmé CW-uglie or not some sort of Amidala have to appear soon .....

    Well i think old Geos were pretty nice (well i have 4 of the so my opinion may be quite biased ) but lego should make versions with same molds but printing as well.... like ewoks and gungans... interestingly enough TLG used old greenish dark gray in Sopwith Camel model so they may use it again in minifigs as well- it was good for Geonosians.... i want Poggle minifig

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars: season 3 discussion

    Where is that info from?- i cannot find any source that states this being 3-parter ... looks like you read wrong- it says this takes place before 3-part story arc.... but i think it's still stand-alone episode... it may be 3-parter though but i hope we will see Asajj trilogy next... i find it more interesting than 3 parts of ryloth again ... next episodes have following names: "Sphere of Influence, Corruption and Academy" so i think we will go on Dathomir soon- there is "corruption" and "academy"... oh i hope that "academy" will indeed be an ancient sith academy on Dathomir.... and not some prequel with Ahsoka reading to her exams in jedi temple... TCW have been recycling the locations and characters all the time... creating some new and then recycling again.... Lightsaber lost was excellent example- whole coruscant was populated with previously used character models .... one thing they don't recycle is the villains (except Grievous, Dooku, Bane and Ventress of course)- we haven't seen Nuvo Vindi or Lok Durd after season1 I want to see them again... and i'm also sure that Admiral Trench survived that explosion - here is 3 reasons why i think so: 1.Because he is member of harch species- never before seen on screen (remember how hard it was to kill Durge ) he can be very tough- also he survived once before- and TCW-episodes don't tend to have unnecessary facts.... 2. Because his death was not mentioned in the episode guide which usually makes notes of such important happenings 3. He was too cool not to be used again ... and they have animated him already.... hey that was actually 4 reasons

    No it's not aqua droid those units inside it are aquadroids- but ventress and 3 aquadroids plus one original with that machine would make a great set those v-wings that we see in Rots should have pilots with closed helmets since V-wing shouldn't have lifesupport like arc (correct if i am wrong)- it's still probable that TCW will mess up with that fact and eventually show us V-wings with lifesupport and hyperdrive... they shouldn't have those because they are predecessors of ties...

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    LOL i cannot find ewoks or jawas to be mature elements of any story SW is for all ages- but ep3 and ep5 may be too scary for little kids- pt has it's problems but hating it is just a childish whining.... LOL jedi academy is most funniest game ever made and it's not even meant to be funny... Rosh Penin is million times more irritating than Ahsoka and Jar Jar together I think that it was pointless decision to remade v-wing as imperial I don't even want that boring set... they should make Padmé.. or new Leia... or that Octopus machine that Asajj Ventress uses in TCW... or tactical droid... or rancor from ROTJ.... naboo set looks good- more gungans and droids- i need more droids... is there seven of them? oh my goodness and price is that low compared to v-wing with one useless pilot (where are that open tiehelmet anyway not from movies not from TCW not even from TFU....)

    Rewatching the Clone Wars

    Actually it don't appear in the birth scene- but "rebirth- scene" I mean Vader transformation scene.. as one of the droids repairing him- i really would like to see Padmé's ship- it's ridiculous that Padmé haven't appeared since 1999 and now we even have Onaconda Farr as fig but not padmé I really liked that "Voyage of temptation" episode- so i had to vote it because no one gave a vote for it before- landing at point rain was the best of the season i agree (is there some reason why ep5:s seems to be best of the season? Lego will make mando bp next year- i hope they will add Pre Viszla with darksaber but preliminary didn't have him... also Satine should appear as figure for some set... well after they remade Padmé.. also Bail Organa and Admiral Yularen are needed as well... I SO AGREE- i never really were fan of mandos before- they were boring killers with war centrered view of the universe- now there is believable conflict between pacifists and those warmongering Death Watch members (they are far worse than supercommandos ever were) they should connect this with boba fett storyline and deltas and make supercommandos rise again against death watch... plus mandos were never big part of actual star wars which is war of jedi and rebels against the sith and their empire.. only mando who was part of classic saga was Boba Fett (if stormies are considered to be just some sort of imperials... they may be clones with mandoblood) and Boba is still same badass bounty hunter he is not pacifist... but he really should escape prison with Bossk... ending of the Lethal Trackdown was lame....

    The Black Pearl from POTC

    actually this is pretty accurate- imagine lower half to be underwater- that makes ship look longer- i added draft to it so it looks short but we see pearl on dry land in movies and it's actually pretty short- check out movies if you don't believe- here is plans i used as reference they show the shape plans of Pearl

    General Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Discussion Thread

    I don't think we need holes for hair but instead kind of stud- so they could actually usenormal hats as well- it seems bit impossible maybe but some sort of two piece hairpiece is definitely possible- i've thought about this since first potc came out- lego Sparrow must have a new kind of hairpiece- so i definitely hope this is what i've been waiting for

    WIP HMS Borea

    Very solid looking moc- good sloop - i want to see it completed so i can judge it better but i cannot say anything bad about it right now- good shape and colorscheme and all good job. Perhaps you could check out my Black Pearl model and say what you think....
  24. Swash Buckler

    General Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Discussion Thread

    I really really hope that they will finally do 2 separate headpieces that fit- looks good because hat don't look to be connected with bandanna/hair but maybe that there indeed is hatless version in another set... would be cunning way to steal money away from everyone who wants all Jacks - but hey -after buying some dozen sets you can build Jack's nightmare from Davy Jones locker - those multiple Jacks i mean- lol that's actually clever because you do pretty much nothing with ten similar Luke Skywalkers or dozen similar Indys but dozen Sparrows actually appear in movie Still i think that making hat separable is not that hard for TLG because playmobil for example did same over ten years ago....

    The Black Pearl from POTC

    It actually has a draft in it so it is pretty realistic (i changed the bow bit longer though) check out pics with pearl on dry land and you'll see that it's not that long as it seems to be when on sea... anyway thanks - unfortunately i cannot build it any longer because i ran out of black.... and i need dark gray for Dutchman too
