I look forward to seeing your mocs! Welcome to Eurobricks, MonMon. What are your favourite types of moc? Any particular theme?

Welcome to Eurobricks, Cristi! I hope you enjoy it here.

Hi all, due to the good reception that I got from my Castle/Historical Ideas support thread, I've decided to maintain one for Pirates too. The idea is that this thread can be a place to come to find out about current Lego Ideas entries and give them our support in an efficient manner, from the community that loves Pirates the most.

All added.

It's something I hadn't considered, but I think I'll see how it goes first. Here's an Idea that's been around for a while and could use support. Medieval Blacksmith by Namirob:

New submission, Medieval Castle by mmathews2197:

Vikings

Done. I'll look for some others to be entered into the thread when I get more time.

For me it's the Wolfpack Tower, 6075. Not only are the Wolfpack one of my favourite factions, but the set itself just stands above the competition here. @Marghal @Henry Bricklider - What are your choices?

Great, I hoped that by sharing, somebody would support it like I have. Maybe we should start a master thread of all Castle related Ideas projects so that we can efficiently add our support to new projects and increase the liklihood of one being made.

Beautiful moc.

Benvenuto, Giuseppe! Pleased to see you join Eurobricks! It's also good to see a fellow Pirates fan join. The Pirates forum is very friendly; you may even be lucky enough to be welcomed by @Mister Phes. Also, you may want to check out my Lego Ideas Pirates support thread here.

Bine ati venit, Tony! I hope you enjoy your times here at Eurobricks!

Welcome to Eurobricks, Viv. I knew a Toastergirl in another life, in another world...

Welcome to Eurobricks buddy!

Someone asked about price in the comments, and although he can't know for sure, the creator compared it to Assembly Square in terms of weight, which cost $280. But Assembly Square had 1000 pieces more than this moc. I reckon it'd be stable enough, although the overall size would need to come down just a tad.

EDIT: I have turned this topic into a place where we, as Historical fans, can efficiently gather and support projects in these themes in Lego Ideas; so please feel free to add any that you find and I will amend this original post. If you like any of the projects listed, please consider supporting them over on Lego Ideas. Have you all seen these? Thoughts? Last Update: 18th June 2020. MADE IT! Medieval Blacksmith by Namirob. We made it! Namirob's Medieval Blacksmith is going to be made into a set. The Castle in the Forest by @povoq. - This has achieved support and fingers crossed, will be made into a set!

This is beautiful mate. I will support as soon as I get home. I'm very excited that this is looking like reaching the review stage. It'd be a definite purchase from me.

Yeah sorry but at least you learnt a new phrase to throw your friends with haha. Yam right yow arrr That makes sense doesn't it. I know I was stupid.

Bostin'

West Bromwich Albion, also known as the Baggies They were playing local rivals Aston Villa and we won 2-0, so I was heavily distracted and the win did kind of balance out the sadness from the Lego disaster. And I'll certainly post pictures when I can. Thank you! Surprisingly, the serpent held up quite well so I don't need to replace it, but thank you very much for your kind offer. Very generous. Since then I did score the Armada Flagship (6280) for about £36, which I was very happy with, so maybe it all balances out in the end.

Ok, so recently I decided to splash out and purchase Lego Vikings sets 7018 - Viking Ship Challenges the Midgard Serpent and 7019 - Viking Fort against the Fafnir Dragon. I got a decent deal at around £100 for both sets delivered. When they arrived however, nearly all of the pieces were caked in dust. Not just light, blow away dust, but solidified 'years in the attic' type dust, so I decided to clean them. What is the best way to clean hundreds of individual Lego parts? Put them in the bath with soapy water? Get a wet toothbrush to each piece? No. Those methods would be too sensible - I shoved them in the washing machine in some laundry bags! It's important to note that I was very distracted at the time by my Football (see Soccer for any Americans reading) team playing their biggest rivals in a local derby. So they came out of the wash nice and clean, but covered in tiny scratches! It wasn't the end of the world though because I'm not ever planning on selling these sets, and they were still decent enough to display. Now comes the truly stupid part (remember my distraction). The pieces by now are soaking wet right? So what to do? Dry them by hand? Nah that'd take forever and I want to build the sets. Leave them under a fan? Nah I don't have a fan and that'd take hours. I PUT THEM INTO THE BLOODY DRYER!!! Yes, you read that correctly. £100 worth of beautiful Lego sets into a dryer. Now, to my slight defence, I did set the dryer to a Cold setting with no spin, but my cheapo dryer didn't want to listen to that and put the heat on anyway. So do you want to know what happens when you heat Lego? Well I can confirm that at the heat I used, the larger plates melt first, and smaller plates without internal support just kind of... warp. I'd say that about 25% of the 2 sets were destroyed - but they were *clean* dammit! So, £50 or so of Bricklink orders later and the remaining pieces should be with me soon. Lesson learned. I type this for solidarity and to make @Marghal laugh. Since then I have completed my Vikings collection with all sets except the Chess sets which is ridiculously expensive. I hope to set-up a nice display at some point.

Yeah that'd be concerning. I doubt they'd keep it in Denmark if that were the case.

At least he's creating discussion. His last few threads certainly have had legs, which is something this forum needs. I'd rather more passionate people post and not necessarily reaffirming the status quo. Lego will continue until they completely stop listening to the customer, which is what almost killed it last time. For what it's worth, some people already think there's a bit of disconnect.

Blimey, so Brick Race is still happening? I'm amazed.
