Excellent MOC! It looks realistic and is highly detailed. I too particularly like the barrel organ and the minifigs used fit in perfectly. Extremely well done. ~buddy~

This is a great creation! It looks like the real thing and can drive through some pretty deep water (for a Lego model). ~buddy~

Excellent MOC! It looks good and functions well. Also, the video you have made to present it is of an amazing quality with clear shots and great presentation. Extremely well done. ~buddy~

Good MOC! I agree that the upside down method is a good way to make the surface flat without using tiles. Well done. ~buddy~

This MOC is coming along very nicely! It looks even better with the handrails and minifigs on it. Extremely well done so far. ~buddy~

This is an excellent MOC! It looks great and the chrome pieces are a nice touch. ~buddy~

Happy Birthday Big Cam! ~buddy~

Thanks for posting this Rumble Strike, you were exactly right, they were in an OFD next to the Bargain shelves at the back, I bought two of each of both 4181 Isla de Muerta and 4192 Fountian of Youth at £9.97 each this morning. ~buddy~

Today, I was in my local HMV store and I didn't pay much attention to it, but there was an ad in the window advertising that if you bought the Lego Pirates of the Caribbean video game, you got the Voodoo Jack Sparrow figure (set 30132) free. Don't count me on it if I'm wrong though, and it may be only instore or at my local store only or online too. ~buddy~

Was that at the Swindon Tesco Extra, and if so, how many of them did they have left and where were they in the store. I may have to make a trip there tomorrow morning on the way back from getting tomorrow's free Lego with The Sun. Thanks. ~buddy~

Today, I got a few of today's free Lego set with The Sun (30083 Dragon Fight). ~buddy~

Today, I got a few of today's free Lego set with The Sun (30081 Skeleton Chopper) I think it's a nice little set with some good pieces in it. ~buddy~

Today, I got a few of today's free Lego set with The Sun (30080 Ninja Glider). ~buddy~

Today, I got a few of today's free Lego set with The Sun, 30130 Mini Black Pearl. I have built one of them and I think that it is a good looking set with some good pieces in it too. ~buddy~

I managed to get a few of today's 30130 Mini Black Pearl from my local WHSmith's this morning. I've build one and I think it is a good looking set with some good pieces in it too. ~buddy~

Today I got a few of set 30131 Jack Sparrow in Boat free with the News of the World (see my review of this set here in the Eurobricks Pirates forum). Wow, that's an excellent deal , but if you don't mind me asking, where did you find that amazing deal? ~buddy~

It was also very busy at WHSmith's in Swindon Town Centre , I got there at 10:30 (opening time) and there was a massive queue outside, and when they opened it was manic getting the papers, everyone was grabbing them, with one person getting about twenty papers. I managed to get a few though then they announced they were sold out of papers, but they still had the sets, so a few minutes later thay had to restock the shelves with News of the World's. Despite all of this I still managed to get mine and I reckon that WHSmiths had sold out by about 10:45 or 11:00 at the latest. BTW, I haved reviewed the set (30131) in the Pirates forum. ~buddy~

Thanks, I've just looked now, I didn't notice it at first, but Jack has a double sided head, with him looking scared on the other side. I've updated the review accordingly (but haven't taken a picture of the other side of his head. ~buddy~

Review: 30131 Jack Sparrow in Boat Name: 30131 Jack Sparrow in Boat Theme: Pirates of the Caribbean Year: 2011 Pieces: ? Minifigs: 1 Price: Free with the News of the World on Sunday 15th May 2011 (or £1 if you bought the newspaper just for the free Lego). This is my third review on Eurobricks, so any constructuive criticism and feedback would be welcomed, so that my future reviews can be better and of a higher level. This morning I had to join a massive queue outside my local WHSmith's to get today's free Lego with the News of the World (this set 30131). Now to the review! Bag and Contents The bag uses a dark blue colour at the top with a 'sea' effect on it. The picture of the set is in a island like backdrop at sunset. Bag front and back: Bag contents: There is the instruction leaflet, the parts are loose, except form Jack's hairpiece that is in a bag of its own. The instructions (cover, front and back): It is a double sided sheet, with the instructions consisting of 5 building steps and on the back there is an ad for all of the POTC sets. The Minifig The minifig of Jack Sparrow is detailed and looks like him, with a front and back printed torso, printed legs and a hairpiece with printing on. He also has a double-sided face (not pictured) with on the other side he is looking scared. The hairpiece: The minifig(front and back): The minifig with sword: Build The boat is a quick and simple build (just 5 steps), yet the finished boat is effective and looks good. New/Interesting Pieces: There is the new bottle piece in Trans-Black and two wedge plate in Brown. Complete Set Without Jack: With Jack: Extra Part: My Ratings Minifig: 10/10 The minifig is great and is a clear representation of Jack Sparrow, with a great hairpiece and printed body parts. Parts: 10/10 The parts in this set are great, with a lot of brown for a promo and the new bottle piece. Build/Design: 10/10 The design is great, and it looks good from most angles also, the minifig can fit in easily. Playability: 9/10 The playability is good, children can push the boat around on surfaces, but the playability for children is less, because it is not yet clear what happens in the movie and where this comes (unless it has been in the previous movies, which I have seen none of. Price: 10/10 Great value for money, just £1 for a great set, with a nice boat and great minifig in. Overall: 49/50 An excellent promo! Bonus Picture: Jack set sail, not knowing what he would encounter, but he certainly didn't expect to sail into a pool of gold! Thanks for reading. ~buddy~

Today I got 6x 30051 Mini X-Wing polybags from The Sun newspaper and also got a 3849 Orient Bazaar set from TRU, for just £5.60 (it was reduced to £6.99 anyway and I had a voucher for 20% off). ~buddy~
