I have watched two videos about the ship now and it is much bigger than I had thought and much bigger than what the pictures suggested. Though the sails seem to be of a bit too thin fabric, so they are kind of see-through.

The 5 winners of BDP series 9 have been announced.

The 5 winners of BDP series 9 just have been announced. Unfortunately no pirate set made it.

I too saw the Toylino sets in my local ALDI. I was impressed, because the sets looked much better than the sets from their previous Playland line. Everybody is selling pirates sets nowadays, except Lego.

I don't mean the "report" function. I still use that! I meant I flagged the user account as spammer (using the powers of a regulator), so their posts would disappear and I guess they lost the ability to post. What happened afterwards I don't know, but I never got any negative feedback I flagged them only when they started to spam-post in quick succession or when they posted nudes, which actually happend one time!

Gotcha

While there's another spammer going around in this very second. Do you need more people that can help flagging spammers? Sometimes there's no moderator or staff online. As a pirates regular I flagged some spammers, even if it was not my job. But if they started spamming in quick succession or started posting nudes, I flagged them myself instead of reporting. I did step back from being a regulator and lost all powers, but if you need more people keeping an eye on the spammers, I'd be happy to help. And I think others too.

Does this work for you?

You are right, that makes sense. I didn't think of this problem. So for Picard they should have used the piece with a little hair on the sides (and back). Can't wait to see peoples mocs, using the new Star Trek minifigs. Wouldn't that Ninjago minifig that was revealed recently (Cole's Grandfather?) work as a Klingon warrior [EDIT: I mean the torso and legs]? Probably there are better options...

Yes, it looks just to 'technical' or 'unnatural'. Everyone wears some hair, hat or helmet and then there's a person with a stud on the head?!? I think the piece with some hair on the sides works well. And if there is such a piece, there could be one that covers the stud without any hair.

I think so too, the stud is just ugly. I got the hair piece that @Calanon mentiond in white with a HP set and I think it looks good in person. I don't know if my photoshop skills do it any favor though I think it would look better irl:

Yes, the minifigures are amazing I wish Lego would sell them without the set (as I always wish)

Welcome to the forum @old men Great to have you aboard! A pirates and knights diorama sounds fantastic Looking forward to seeing your layout!

LEGO isn't the most innovative company anymore, nor does it offer the best quality anymore. There's only money left and a legion of lawyers and lobbyists. And as always, if you have the money, the law is on your side. You may want to check out the so called "LEGO-Paragraph" in EU regulation Nr.6/2002/EU. Passage (3) comes directly from the Lego headquarters lmao Here is the link to LEGO's current entry in the EU transparency register, where you find all companies that are lobbying and their lobbyists who have access to European Parliament premises. I couldn't find Cobi, Bluebrixx, Kiddicraft or Lumibricks but maybe you have more luck: https://transparency-register.europa.eu/search-register-or-update/organisation-detail_en?id=236869539281-13

The set has been revealed. More pictures are out. I really like that skeleton pirate. And that yellow college [?] jacket looks cool. (I never saw the movie.) We also have a bigger picture of the ship side now: Pictures via stonewars ------------------------------------------------------- It has been officially announced that LEGO Ideas® 21363 The Goonies will be released upon 4 November, 2025.

And it will set yer back: 299,99 € / £269.99 / $329.99 USD / $379.99 CAD / $479.90 SGD / $499.99 AUD / $549.99 NZD LEGO Insiders members who pre-order between 27 October and 7 November will receive 40773 The Walshes’ Attic as a Gift With Purchase.

The GWP has been officially revealed and we also got the first official pictures of the set. Pictures via stonewars: EDIT It is said that the set will be revealed later today.

Eurobricks can not host the truckloads of pictures people would upload if it would be possible. You have to host your pictures elsewhere on a website like imgur, flickr or basically any other website that allows you to upload pictures. Then you add the image address to your eurobricks post and the picture will be shown automatically. While flickr needs a user account, imgur does not. I use both services. But of course there are many more.

Exactly what I am thinking too

Lego is really spinning straw into gold here. Take 50 cent electronics, put your logo on it and voilà, it costs $50 now

According to Stonewars the black unprinted pauldron piece will be available at PAB (in October or later this year?).

The big problem is, as always, few people have a lot of torsos, while many people have few torsos. I only got one of the CMF wolfpack minifig because a fellow AFOL sent me one as a gift. Everywhere I went, there was no beastmaster to be found because the greedy scalpers had cleared everything already. There's nothing a normal person can do

I was on the discord but left it quite some time ago (1 or 2 years?). There was just too much spam and people advertising their business. But was it worth it? Participation already declined in summer 2023. I assume that some people already knew that there would be a new era comming up and they stopped building mocs for a game that would end anyway. That was more than 2 years ago! As I see it from my limited perspective, the only real flaw of era II was, that players could get rich in no time. Limit royal builds, limit selling royal builds and selling builds in general, add some upkeep and things would have been okay imo. The game was great, the storytelling was great! It was just too easy to get rich.

Ah, I didn't think of this! Makes total sense!

Very nice figbarf! Those two torsos on the right work very well and of course the chief looks great with the D&D mask! The one in the center needs some abs though. It probably the backside of a torso, so I understand it is not very detailed. If I had to pick an favorite it would be the second warrior on the right Great job on the minifigs! But one question - do they wear some kind of gloves?

Just came across this one: YAR! by Pixel Fox
