I think so too. As a kid i built the sets only once, after i got them for Christmas or birthday. Then they quickly got disassembled and i used the parts for my own creations. With the same parts i built a fortress or a town house or an aircraft carrier. While the variety of parts we have nowadays allow for a more detailed approach, i imagine that - for me as a kid - it would have been much harder to build my own creation out of all the different colors and special parts and all the tiny 1x1 parts. I don't suffer from nostalgia and i think all the variety we have nowadays makes Lego bricks and pieces much better. But surely the company want us to buy sets, assemble them, then buy new sets... I don't know if the Lego company deliberately tries to reduce the reusability of the parts from a set, but it surely comes in handy for them, so they can sell more sets. And all these display sets are not meant to be disassembled so the parts could be used for mocs. Just buy more display sets...

Wow, that's a wonderful modular style gas station The interior of the garage and restaurant look great.

Great story and ship! The masts are well build and the soldiers on the tops are a nice detail.

Hello Jo, welcome to the forum!

Oh yeah, with the box art it looks even better

Shut up and take my mon.. err vote

The poppies look great!

Nice introduction of you sig fig. The clothes on the hangers look great! The Factions RPG is retired but you are welcome to join the new Eurobricks Star Wars RPG: Mysteries. You will find all relevant info in this thread:

I was talking about a potential drum piece that could be attached like the tail pieces. I guess technicaly it is possible to attach parrots using these pieces that fit around a minifigures neck and give you one or two studs on the back and then use some additional pieces to make the parrot fit but (a) it would look good only from certain angles and (b) the parrots are to big (especially when you have them right next to a minifigures head

I really like that cutaway view of the gold mine! Well done

That is interesting, thanks! I was born 1983 and played with Lego until i was around 15 years old. My younger sister also got more Lego later. But i don't remember that there were two different sizes of the palm tree leafs.

Do you know the item numbers?

Where there 2 different sizes of the classic palm leaf piece?

You mean 4 in 3 weeks. It's game over for the rest of us

Thanks! I didn't know that group. This is what i am locking for

But they are back! Check the new 10313 Wildflower Bouquet.

Wow yeah, i love your recreations of the old sets! I had them all when i was a kid and your mocs are instantly recognizable

Yeah, such a drum piece is long overdue. It could be attached between the legs and body like the tail pieces.

For me Boushh ist the best and most interesting helmet so far. Looks great!

Haha you nailed it!

Wonderful What are your plans for the water? Do you want to tile it?

That would be a great minifigure! What i would like to see in a future CMF, would be just some random civilians with detailed printing, that could be used for various historic themes. And hopefully they would come without a yellow neckline

I always thought there are enough people on ideas but i finaly signed up so i can support ideas like this

I really like that warehouse and its surroundings! Everything fits together well and creates a dense little scene Are these tan cheese slopes or are they yellowed? I can't tell from my pc screen

Instagram is for sharing pictures, but is there any Lego Pirates flickr group you guys could recommend?
