Captain Fortune

Thanks a lot, Duck, cause I see i'm not alone in this. And look at this: Honestly, I have always prefered original than licensed sets. And I know that's not a valid reason, but a personal feeling. That's why I didn't mention that at all. So, despite I don't like very much the licensed themes, look at Star Wars theme, what an amazing licensed theme: lots of sets, lots of minifigs, well-defined factions... the playability have no limit there! What gets me "angry" with POTC sets are the intentions from Lego in this case: limited and unstructured sets, with some important deficiences (wich didn't were in older sets of lego, I can explain that if you want) in order to sell it as much as possible, taking advantatge of the recent movies. Thanks ofr your opinion Duck.

Am I de only one who find the Islanders Commercial really awesome? Runnig through the palms forest, the caves... And look at the landscapes... OMG!

OMG... Hundreds of my childhood memories are coming to my head! That set it's simply wonderful, awesome... i just can't find the words! lol My vote in the poll? Oustanting, of course.

BB is so much better than QAR. In fact, I think that QAR has got lots of deficiencies.

Ok, three months later I think there's no doubt: the answer is NO. Lol. Despite i'm just kidding, that makes me sad. But, in fact, i didn't expect AT ALL that Pirates would come this year. The reason why we don't have it is named PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.

Wonderful pics. When you put some minifigs in a landscape, under the sun... it seems they become alive, don't you see?

That looks outstanding!

Jesus! That's fuckin awesome fellow! Great job!

I've always thought this set is a bit strange. That's why it was never seen in my country, because it was only distributed in America (maybe in some countrys in Europe, don't know at the moment). Anyway, as always, this set is awesome. Hell, i think that i can't find any set is not!

BSB. Anyway, both ships are awesome.

That set is goddamn awesome. Its simplicity is the key that makes it perfect.

Hi everyone Well guys, I don't want to be rude, but I think that the POTC sets are not really good, and I can't understand how in the world can someone consider that theme very interesting, if that person knows something about Classic Pirates. I thank God the winner option are Classic Pirates, but nearly 50% people voted for the other options. Can't believe it. The reasons why POTC are far worse than Classic are evident looking at the sets, if we consider the number of minifigs, pieces contained, variety of sets, etc. Ok, there are some new minifigs, some new pieces, etc. Nothing really important. However, that's not the main reason I think POTC doesn't rocks at all. The main reason is that these theme is absolutely unplayable, because is unstructured. Let's check it out... what we got? A bunch of sets, representing some scenes from the four movies, most of the sets have nothing to do with the others, etc. There are no complete factions, only three or four british soldiers, three or four indians, etc. No bases, no armies, etc. What makes a theme playable? A logical structure: Different factions, with their own "armies", ships and bases. Like Classic Pirates have. You know other examples: Castle, Star Wars, etc. POTC are a bunch of isolated sets, "look-at-me-but-don't-play-with-me", with a lack of possibilities to create new adventures (except making the movie scenes). Excuse my ortography, english is not my native language. Thanks everyone.

Without any doubt, Skull Eye Schooner, Requin Nor II en France (Black Shark II) and Gran Tiburón in Spain (Big Shark). Honestly, i'm surprised with the poll results. SES is bigger, has more figs, more details, etc. than Black Seas Barracuda; however, i'll never criticize a Classic Pirates ship, so that's Ok.

Hi everyone Well guys, I don't want to be rude, but I think that the POTC sets are not really good, and I can't understand how in the world can someone consider that theme very interesting, if that person knows something about Classic Pirates. Yesterday I saw a thread with a poll, wich asks what theme we prefer: classic pirates, POTC, or both of them. I thank God the winner option are the Classic Pirates, but nearly 50% people voted for the other options. Can't believe it.
