Beautiful diorama There's so much going on! Readbeard's pirates take the imperials by surprise! The gallows must wait. And I guess that one pirate had too much booze haha

Welcome to Eurobricks @Brickstone_City Great to have you aboard! Your Mocs and photography truely look amazing Your use of fog and lightning is next level and creates some very atmospheric scenes! So good!

Another amazing brickfilm of yours! Great visual effects and I also like the sound effects very much. Although I must admit, for the battle of Sevastopol, I miss the heavy German artillery and the large Soviet fortifications. But maybe these will be featured in the next part!

This is such a fun and colorful figbarf Meditating Josara and Turd Culpritt (or what was his name? ) are my favorites! Then there's K'naz roasting a rat for dinner And the holo gambling machine really stands out as a side build! Great job all around!

Coconut Cape has been chosen as one of five BDP 8 sets, set for Crowdfunding on June 1st, 2026! Coconut Cape by BallisticBricks

I think the minifig scale dioramas, such as the trash compactor or Dagobah or okay But only because I see them as enhanced play scale sets. All the other 18+ lines I would dismiss Since I left my dark ages a couple years ago I bought 34 different Lego Star Wars sets: one 18+ set, 32 play scale sets and one advent calendar. For me play sets or play scale includes microfighters and battlepacks and some of the old planet series which I was able to pick up in a store 10 years after they retired (or whatever the number of years is ). The only 18+ set i got is the Dagobah diorama - because it's minifig scale! Of the 34 sets I bought the most expensive ones where Boba's Palace, the Scythe and the Resistance I-TS Transport all at an RRP of €99.99. (I bought them at varying discounts.) So long story short, I basically only buy LSW play scale sets with minifigs between €10 - €100. Maybe I am in the minority nowadays but If Lego continues their 18+ path, I am going to buy less and less Lego Star Wars sets And it's not that I am going to buy many more sets from other themes instead because the minifigs are an important part for me and other themes do not have Star Wars minifigs... (And there are no max €99 pirates or castle sets in which I would be interested in).

The table says it all. So sad

Yes, that's the arguments that usually get repeated in forums and blogs but I am sorry, I don't buy that anymore. Lego is introducing new parts all the time, so there is no problem at all. Even new colors from time to time. I still remember the interview in which the designer was talking about limited storage containers rofl. Granted, many of these new parts purely serve the purpose to get them registered so competitors can't use them. Because when you register a part in Europe the part in question is NOT checked at all. [EDIT: The EUIPO checks if the application is formally correct.] Only later at court if a case is opened.

I could go on and on. See the 6021 Jousting Knights. Here it is even more blatant! Just two knights, their two horses and weaponry. A set like this is impossible for Lego nowadays. And the reason is: Lego does not want people to get a simple set like this. A simple set which already offers some fun playing experience. As kids in the 90s we would often have our knights jousting each other and we would move them slowly towards each other on the floor and I would hope my brothers knight would topple and fall off the horse. Then we would slightly adjust the angle of the shield so the opponents lance would slide off to the side and start the next round. But Lego only want people to buy the expensive sets like LKC or the Medieval Town Square. It's the same for many themes. I have to stop now or I get more angry picture from brickset Okay, but why molded horses are so expensive in the first place? I want to understand why the production of a small plastic horse in 2025 can be so expensive. I wish we would get an official statement Why does the plain white chicken costs 46 cent at PAB while the printed chicken costs 2,45€? Printing the chicken is worth 2 Euros? What are the real costs to print the chicken? I would like to understand!

Picture from brickset Back in the day, when building blocks as a mass product were still fresh and innocent and greed had not yet creeped in (I am exaggerating but you get what I mean) they tried to maximize playability, despite the limited parts that the designers had at hand in comparison to what is available nowadays. Of course the heavy prison wagon gets a sufficient number of horses and of course the knight gets its own horse. So it's only logical the set has 5 horses! I mean, take this question to the streets and ask 100 people how many horses such a set should have. Most people would say at least three horses, no? Nowadays all horses would get removed from the set and Lego would add a chain or handcuffs and every minifig must walk

This

One would think that putting horses in a set with knights, or a medieval set like the town square, is a no-brainer. You could add horses to many sets because they will make any set better! So I came to the conclusion that lego do not want their customers to have the best playing experience, instead hey want their customers to buy horses for 6 kriffin' euros at PAB. I mean, 6€ for a small plastic horse wtf? A printed chicken costs 2,45€, the cow 7,50€ What the hell is going on? Lego really must have a lot of problems producing these animals and a whole team of expensive rocket science engineers is working on them, right? Right?

Eureka! Finally found the quartermaster in store! (Had to swap the yellow head and arms for nougat ones though.)

It's 2025 and brickbuild horses in a set with minifigs are so very out of place, it's farcical

Crowdfunding will start today at 8AM Pacific time.

Poor red panda Great job all around! The shot of Johnny falling into the tunnel looked great! But how is the water not flooding the cave? I also liked the shot of the plane flying across the map very much

Exactly! A POTC wave of five sets with three smaller location sets and two larger ships would be fantastic! Sadly at this point is unimaginable that such a wave would ever be possible again for Lego POTC I've lost all hope.

The part in question was first released in 2023 and has been around since then. ID is 2630: https://www.lego.com/de-de/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=2630 When I ordered it in 2023 I believed it was a string with thicker segments but was surpised to find out it was a flex tube when the order arrived

There are some useful minifig torsos that i like. And I like the Going Merry more than the Creator 3 in 1 Pirate Ship. Though the only set I see myself getting is the small beach bar. With a bit of luck one of the useful torsos will eventually show up at PAB, like it happened for other licensed themes before

Now that all One Piece sets have leaked there are some interesting parts: few useful minifigure parts, the rowing boat in what looks like medium nougat to me and of course the Going Merry ship. The smallest set, Partys Bar, looks like it can easily be turned into a pirate bar.

Ah, that's nice! I didn't think of Orangecoats.

I don't think so. I agree with @Elephant Knight, it's very well incorporated into the design of the belt on the back. But we now have the answer why there is an odd pirate amongst the Dreamzzz minifigs. He is one himself

Exaclty. See the hourglass also featured at Z-Blob's belt in this picture. The hourglass also appears in this artwork for example:
