When I saw Mrs. Flume's medium lavender legs with apron (from set 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit) I wanted to test if they are useful for some kind of jungle warriors. I bought matching torsos and heads on BL and violà - here are my jungle warriors: As always - critics and comments are very welcome!

That's a nice idea! Do I understand you correctly that these parts you mentioned are from that 1997 container?

I never had any pirates sets but nevertheless I'm a big fan of the classic pirates. I think set 6267 Lagoon Lock-Up is one of the best pirates sets. Here is my Adventurer-ized version of Lagoon Lock-Up. It is meant to be another extension for the Adventurers' jungle sub-theme. This tavern deep in the South American jungle is not only a place where you can get a drink but also a place where rumors are spread and information can be gathered. So Mike tries to get to know the whereabouts of Senor Palomar and Rudo Villano. As always - comments and critics are very welcome!

Thank you! Thank you as well! Actually it's completed but perhaps I will change some of the plants and foilage.

Thanks a lot for your review and the great photos! I have sets 60424, 60425 and 60426 as well as the polybag. But I won't buy set 60437 - IMHO the helicopter is too big and not so nice. But that's my personal view.

Parts from May have been added. At least in Germany. https://www.stonewars.de/news/neu-bei-lego-pick-a-brick-august-2024-krokodile/

Do you know if they are from the same container lost on sea 1997? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cornwall-68911765 Or are they from playing children who lost their Legos?

@StreaMRoLLeRThat's a nice collection and a great presentation. Just a question to the second photo: Where is that gray brick with the statue printed on (or a sticker?) in the background of the entrance from? (I have rebricked set 5986 but still need to get that raised baseplate - it's soooooo expensive.)

This is my MOC of Harry Cane‘s cabin which was inspired (obviously) by set 40566 „Ray the Castaway“. It‘s an Adveturer-ized version of that small but awesome set. Poor Harry has had a plane crash in the jungle and has built a cabin as a shelter against wild animals, bad wether and so on … have you spotted his jacket hanging in the cabin? As always - critics and comments are welcome!

@YellowFrog That statue is great! (BTW - I'm using a yellow frog as kind of a fingerprint in my MOC's. )

@Lion KingNo bad feelings. I'm a classic guy and stick to the old gang!

Great MOC on your videos. Well done! This is my very personal subjective opinion, but I agree with this (keep the subthemes separated) and with this (but using some new parts and molds - like i.e. the toucan - is very usefull nevertheless). What about a landing strip in the desert or some Arabian style houses for the desert subtheme?

Oops, I totally forgot. I do have the 2014 Johnny Thunder in my collection but didn't think about his reddish brown hat ...

Yes, I agree. OP's posts read absolutely weird ... it sems like a machine is answering.

BCN is Barcelona, Spain?

I once found a heavily scratched white 1x4x3 panel on the sidewalk. Senor Palomar now uses it as sign for his trading post (the sticker is self-printed):

I got these three sets (ATV, plane, truck) for about 30% discount. They are awesome!

👍😀

Looks cool! 👍

Now this is cool. Great job, well done. I love Agent Coulson and his Lola.

They are both from Monkie Kid: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb2987#T=C&C=3 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb3070#T=C&C=3 I think it‘s a great but underrated torso. I use it for my sigfig/avatar.

Happened to me too. But once there was the same torso available but without that duckling backprinting. An eraser might help … 😝

Wow, that's so huge!

Thank you very much for your kind words! Well spotted! Yes, it's a red cup. Every Lego set needs a cup. I loved these small details when I was a kid and I still love them today. Thank you, too! Funny idea. I wasn't thinking about this ... but I will consider it now ... the dino egg story has to be continued! Thank you very much. This is what I aim for. Classic blocky MOCs.

Thank you! Yes, you are absolutely right. We need white, white is what we need! Thank you! No, I haven't. I'm not a fan of mixing old light gray, dark gray and brown with modern colours. Concernig colours I'm an absolute purist "old vs. new".
