Ciao Simone, welcome to Eurobricks! You know, Lego has released many board games which incorporate the Lego system building process. Pleased to meet you.

Hi, I have some thoughts and questions on the format of these sub-forums and was wondering what others think. I'm a big fan of both the Historic and Pirate sub-forums, so it's interesting to me that over on the Pirate forum, there is a separate sub-forum for MOCs (Pirate MOCs) and for a role-playing game (Brethren of the Brick Seas). There's a clear distinction there and the MOC forum especially is rather active and serves as a good place to promote MOCs and Lego Ideas (outside of the Indices that I maintain). Here, however, there is only 1 public sub-forum (Guilds of Historica) and it's described as " The castle MOCers paradise". But is it though? It seems that posting there comes with joining in with the roleplay game and a lot of additional stuff. Now, I'm not trying to dismiss the value of that, but would it be better to mimic the Pirate structure here and separate the role-play building from the person that just wants to show what they've built? I realise that MOCs can and are shared in the Historic main forum, but perhaps they would be better moved to their own sub-forum and clear room for general discussion in the main landing Historic page. Then, when we get a spectacular Idea or moc, such as today's Medieval Marketplace or The Mythical Camelot Castle, we'd be better able to deliver that to the people most likely to be interested in it, and perhaps use those posts as frontpage news, like the Pirates are currently doing. And lastly, and I do not mean any offence by this, but I don't even know if these sub-forums have a dedicated moderator. Do they? If so, can someone holla at me and let me know if there is a better place to discuss this? Thanks for reading.

Today is a good day for Castle submissions. I have added the five below entries. Castle Chess Set by BricKatai: Medieval Cottage by BrickyHead: Medieval Marketplace by DominikQN: The Water Mill by ricbuilder225: The Mythical Camelot Castle by BrickHammer:

I have added The Skull's Eye Schooner by Red Spaceman

Welcome to Eurobricks, @0B1W4N! Pleased to meet you.

Can anyone help to identify this minifigure, please? Specifically, the torso I cannot find. It's seemingly very old, as the detail is actually a sticker, like in the earliest minifigures. Thank you.

Firstly, welcome to Eurobricks, @broken-haiku! Ordinarily, I'd suggest going into a Lego Store and using their Pick-a-Brick wall to get pieces for your mocs, but currently that isn't possible and you may not live near one; so instead I'd buy one of the larger Lego Classic boxes from somewhere like Amazon. Anyway, pleased to meet you.

...which naturally I read as "I got the driver thinking it was the tournament night.". I was like... "He has a driver!?"... "What is tournament night?". The truth is never as entertaining, but I do hope you get the Knight next time

I like the contrast between the tan and white; I think it makes it pop, as the kids say these days. The cannon is rather creative too. Overall lovely work. Well done.

Furthermore, the following Ideas will soon fail to achieve support, so if you like them or just like to support Historical Ideas in general, please show it over at Lego Ideas. Medieval Castle by mmathews2197: Medieval Market Street by TheLordOfBricks: The Poison King's Fortress by Taipan63:

The following Idea are ending soon and urgently need support to avoid failing to achieve support. Pirate Barque by @Sebeus I: @Sebeus I is a member here at Eurobricks and has contributed many Pirate themed Ideas, so it'd be great if we could all get behind his Ideas to keep them ticking.

I have added the following 2 Ideas. Ancient Roman Warship by VamosYimmy: The Parthenon by Mattix creations:

This is your last chance to support The Sequoia: Steampunk Quad-Engine Airship by DanGreenBlat, as it'll be ending soon. This was not originally added to the index because it's Steampunk, but it's heavily influenced by Pirates so I thought that it may be of interest to some here.

Here's a new entry for today. Mediterranean Coastal Fort of the Knights by VamosYimmy: Additionally, this is your last chance to support the following Ideas before they fail to reach support: Trolls's Warchief Raptor Rider by @Destrier: Keyhole Castle by PeterPanMann: Castle Lego by farmfarm:

I was surprised to see this as a news article because I thought it had been done ages ago, but I guess the contract has just been signed. Not gonna lie - I'm kind of sad that we probably won't see Emmet and the gang again, but it could be a good thing; what with the law of diminishing returns in sequels, and all.

Oh sorry mate I had totally forgotten that you were a member here. I will amend my posts accordingly. Great job, by the way!

Welcome to Eurobricks, @tomaaki! I love all of those ideas too. Always glad to see like-minded individuals join us here I'm not sure on this one, but maybe our friend @Piraten can advise? He has some experience on Ideas. Anyway, pleased to meet you.

Welcome to Eurobricks, @tom linkin / Pavel. Pleased to meet you.

Welcome @ingels! Pleased to have you here at Eurobricks and out of your Dark Ages!

Hi everyone, This week I'd like to draw your attention towards a wonderful new re-imagening of the classic El Dorado Fortress by @LM71Blackbird (creator of several previous Pirate Ship submissions, which you can find here).

I have added Eldorado Fortress Redux by @LM71Blackbird:

Thank you for this. Not only for the extra context but also.....wow what a great Idea! I'll add it to the index now.

Welcome to Eurobricks, @cory! Pleased to meet you. This would be better posted in our Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds subforum.

I have added the following Ideas to the index. Brickwest Studios by Bricky_Brick @paokus: Medieval Siege Tower - Belfry by VamosYimmy. : The Prancing Pony Inn by BriKKone: The Dragon and the Knight by Proteasome:
