    Welcome to Eurobricks @Gabry Check Great to have you aboard!

    It looks like it's the new Reddish Orange.
  3. Yperio_Bricks
    It looks like a cool and fun action/adventure set, but not like a medieval castle. It's something Ninjago could do today. Different roof colors, different colored flags and heraldry, different architectural features are great and welcome! But a european style castle made of pitch black lava rock is not something I can like. It's hard for me to express myself well in Englisch. Even as a kid, growing up with all the classic castle stuff, I always tried to be as realistic (within the limitations of a toy of course and within the limitations of the Lego parts at hand) with my mocs and i tried to meet the realism I saw in books, castles we visited, museums and yes, in movies. Maybe 'realistic' is a too strong word - we are talking about a toy, but I hope you get what I mean. It's hard to express sometimes I very much liked the forestmen minifigures back in the day, but the black trees - yikes. The good people of the forest aka Robin Hood and company were frequent guests in my children's room in the 90s.

    How's the general opinion on black castles? I must admit, even as a kid I disliked them very much and that opinion has not changed ever since. I know it's a toy, but black castles look so unrealistic.

    I too think it is reddish orange.

    I don't want to take away from the vending machine build in any way, but I think the ugly truth is, most people are only interested in the minifigs and Lego basically turned this set into a minifig pack with a sidebuild. And of course with a large sidebuild they will make more money compared to a $40 people pack like the 60234 Fun Fair. If the minifigs would be in sets that match their respective themes or in a people pack or would be available at PAB right away, would there be any incentive to buy the vending machine set? Mostly only people who want the minifigs NOW are going to buy the set, the rest is waiting until they appear at PAB
  7. Yperio_Bricks
    Yeah, but the minifigs are almost always the most important part for me and I rarely buy a set where this is not the case. And since I own basically not a single Lego pirate, the minifigs would be very important. (I have an eye on a Bluebrixx train though.)
  8. Yperio_Bricks
    I am not expert, but it looks pretty funny how it sticks out almost horizontally. Maybe from the side (or any other angle) it looks better? EDIT: Generally i prefer cloth capes, pauldrons and waist capes.

    Sea Serpent by HallowedBrick02 won the 'A Twist of Nostalgia' contest and will be a GWP, probably next year!
  10. Yperio_Bricks
    Bluebrixx offers so many pirate ships and islands, castle sets, battlepacks etc. I hope they grow beyond a point where Lego can not neglect these themes anymore.
  11. Yperio_Bricks
    That is the problem
  12. Yperio_Bricks
    Yikes! I was so much concentrated on the print that I didn't notice the color of the torso Orange might be to flashy for me. Have to wait for better pictures to fully judge the torso. Print looks good though. Do these BAM minifig parts end up at PAB online?
  13. Yperio_Bricks
    There's a new BAM pirate which will be available in stores next week or so. Or this week already? Picture by CarterBricks04 on reddit:

    I guess this piece is not in production anymore. Generally I must say, now that it has been officially revealed that the minifigs are in fact Will and Camilla, I even more think that Camilla should have gotten an dedicated leg piece. Plain white does not look good imo.
  15. Yperio_Bricks
    They are not available at PAB anymore. Please no GWP. Make it a regular set! But with the torsos gone, it looks not very promising for the near future.
  16. Yperio_Bricks
    Is it a good year? The upcomming Black Pearl, now Will and Camilla. Maybe a useful torso or accessoire here and there. Do we get something else? The Ninjago ship looks good though.
  17. Yperio_Bricks
    Hehe
  18. Yperio_Bricks
    So today I went to town and bought the Viking Village in anticipation of the Kraken Knights. (And because I didn't build an official set in a long time. Will make some modifications though.) Man, the Kraken Knights really got me. I wanted to build medieval mocs for a long time but there was never really a hook that got me started. All eyes on PAB
  19. Yperio_Bricks
    I only wish she had corresponding legs to match the torso. The plain white legs do not work for me and it also looks like the red cummerbund is cut in half and parts of the jacket are missing.
  20. Yperio_Bricks
    But there are parts from licensed themes at PAB: for example several Star Wars torsos and hair pieces, at least one Harry Potter torso, Pippin's torso, Nazgul parts, etc. There's no hard rule we can deduce from the information we have.
  21. Yperio_Bricks
    Here's a picture of the pirate minifigs from the prize machine set (I cut them out from the official images).
  22. Yperio_Bricks
    Hehe said so Actually I am happy it's not copper. I think reddish brown fits better together with the other colors.
  23. Yperio_Bricks
    The prize machine is said to be officially revealed today. Hope we learn about the color of the helmets!
  24. Yperio_Bricks
    Exactly! I am surprised, shocked even, that people instantly are calling for others (BDP, LEGO Company, Rebrickable) to create a underlying story for the new factions!
  25. Yperio_Bricks
    Same here! I still think it just the shiny render. We'll see! Curious too see what kind of MOCs people will come up with for the Kraken Knights! I was always interested in castle since I left my dark ages but none of the other (classic) factions really was drawing me into the theme. After hearing the Kraken Knights won I was aboard the hype train and now after seeing the minifigs I am in love
