Perhaps we have a very simple misunderstanding.

Very nice vessel. The technique works well here. And I also like the full scene with the tarp-water and little island.

Yeah, I knew Redbeard was featured. But one of his actual set ships? Well... I suppose we can all assume whatever we wish to assume... but did it have to automatically be one of them? It would seem that, in the eyes of the designer, it wasn't one of the original named ships. But whatever.

You're probably on to something there. That makes perfect sense...

As for voting with your wallet, there are -- let's see -- zero other legitimate Pirates sets available right now? And the theme has been dead for how long? That makes a huge difference. Fans are starving for anything, and they'll take anything. The Black Seas Barracuda is a classic, no question. The first set that features a new BSB (this set) is probably going to sell like hotcakes for that one reason.

Beautiful both in design and colors. Great effort on the roof sections in particular and I really like the corner ornaments.

Y'know, Kolonialbeamter, this might -- might -- be an okay design if it was, like, twice as tall. As is, it's barely tall enough to be visible...

I am enjoying these latest builds and the storyline is getting rather interesting. The atmosphere in the warehouse scenes is nice and foreboding and that bridge hideout really illustrates the tense situation well. Dude. You, like, totally gotta build this, mannnnnn...

@Captain Braunsfeld You aren't late. There's plenty of time! Brickinson and the Pontellis will certainly attend. Is George the monkey? And would you permit me to swap the graduate cap/mortarboard for a tricorn and/or wig? I'll see what I can do for Capt. Cookie. But all must understand that swinging from the chandeliers will not be tolerated. @The Sarge Perfect! You said you'd do a family pic and you sure did. Umm... could you ID the body parts of the 2 ladies in dresses? Ok, that doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean. I don't have those 2 dresses, so I'll have to do some shopping. Ok, that also doesn't sound right. I'm not good at this. Also, what is the torso piece worn by the maid and coachman? @Bodi Sure! That torso is pretty cool, so I'll see about getting it. But I'm concerned he isn't wearing enough medals/medallions.

Beautiful build and interesting storyline. Now that is a loaded opening line of dialogue!

Nice fort. It certainly captures the frontier look. And good job posing all those minifigs. That native is rockin' that morion. Perhaps he "acquired" it from one of his enemies? Good luck with your ventures.

Ummm... if they really wanted to be secretive, they should've used, like, a black horse. Neat build. It looks rather desolate and unforgiving. I won't even venture to ask what's going on. Nope, I won't ask. I won't ask at all.

Dude. The dad has 2 normal arms and a spare hand coming out of his shirt collar! That's awesome.

Nice fort. The brick separators work well for the roof and the angled walls look great. I tend to envision the outer walls of such forts being most if not all of the visible structure; as shown the upper works are extremely vulnerable, but they do look good. Some of the texture bricks look a bit odd to me, specifically those plates mounted stud-out with the gaps beneath them. If breaking up a smooth clean surface is the goal, then it's a success. And the light aqua just seems so random. Otherwise, I really like it.

Now that's a fresh take on a subject (sistershipping builds) that can be a bit stale at times. That interior looks great. I think lighter colored floors in general display the minifigs better, and the brown walls help bring out the redness of the dark red curtains. Those tapestry pieces are perfect for this and I like the elegant simplicity of the candle holder. The purple coin pouch (BrickWarriors?) is a nice addition and matches her hairpiece perfectly. And it looks like the cat is staring at its reflection in that ring!

Ah, you're back! With another (Toy) Story! Nice ship/brig. The tan plates as sails look better than white. And the pic with "too large" of a crew looks about right to me.

Unfortunately... I don't live anywhere near a brand store...

Great! Thanks. I will transfer the funds tonight. Edit: I attempted to transfer the funds but I had very poor service and I was unable to determine if the transaction actually went thru...
