I like the large stain glass window.

Very nice, and very creative. The baseplates appear to be road plates with perhaps homemade lava/fire decals.

Is that a chicken, duck, bird with a plunger?

Thanks. I'm rather partial to the tophat myself. I think it looks quite smashing: I've always loved the monacle, but this Lego face should not be mistaken for Col. Clink:

Definately Phes. I'm partial to this face myself:

Nice collection of some great classic space sets. I like your shelves and flooring too.

I did too. Definately not a traitor. I have far more Lego than Playmobil, but as you've mentioned, I like them both as well. It's just that I've been building a Playmobil Western diorama lately for a new Web Page. Playmobil is fresh in my head until these new 2007 Lego sets start showing up.

Very nice Michael. Excellent use of the torso and the pith helmet. The color combination looks sharp.

How long ago?

And how does that relate to this thread? You have a point, but the lion is a very common image for castle themes, as well as griffins and other symbols. I always thought Lego was the copier, but you never know.

Very nice review D. The ship is actually better than I thought. I didn't realize it had a mast. Also, the sub is pritty slick. Seems a bit heavy on the stickers, but aside from that not bad. The set has some nice accessories as well. Thanks for taking the time to review this set. I still haven't ordered one from SAH, but will have to soon. *y*

Actually, I believe they went on sale for a while, then were no longer available.

Legoland has some great lighthouses but they are much larger in scale.

I would have liked to seen a much smaller tank and large hideout. Some non-vehicle sets would be great and/or more villain vehicles.

They do seem to be going away though. :-)

The tank seems a little large to me, esp. compared to smaller sets like the batmobile.

You should have a lighthouse if you can build. I think the height would look great with a small port.

I just ran into these on Brickset. I must have missed this post. I think the Town Developer Set has some potential.

Lego has always been expensive (even when I was a kid).

Your guess is as good as mine, but usually cost drives a lot of these types of decisions. On a side not IS, I love your signature graphic. Very nice. Sounds like the prelude of a story?

Thanks for the info. I think I will order.

Old Brickster? As I grow OLD, I realize that all things repeat. I believe that through the efforts of AFOL and the popularity of pirates with children, in movies/media, Lego has to jump back on this theme. It will happen, it's just a matter of when. A Legoland pirate ride is also a nice sign from Davy Jone's Locker.

Nice design Z. I'm not a real big fan of seige engines, but you did a very nice job building one.

I've been wanting Lego to produce a lighthouse for years (not counting the pink Paradisia set). I'm glad to see one part of the SB collection. It doesn't look too bad, and the door can always be swapped out for the real thing.

You never know. I definately think we will see the return of pirates in the next few years.
