The Lego minifig and licensed themes are the only things that keep Lego king of the building brick companies. The competition has become very good. Only their minifigs suck and lack of licensing. But MegaBloks has the Game of Thrones license and their minifigs are rather good. You can actually recognize Emilia Clarke in the Daenerys minifig. Also proportions are better.

The Pegasus shield goes very well with the torso from the Paladin CMF. I have tried it. Looks good. Especially with a gold color plume on the helmet and a magenta cape

Not for me, the colors red and green,not my taste

The prints are really good . Better than the Bluecoats which puts Lego to shame. Did the Dutch really had orange suits at that time ?

I check every day. When they're on PAB, I will let everybody know. Ofcourse after I made sure I ordered some.... hihi

That's why the Galaxy Explorer remake, Black Seas Barracuda remake and the Lion Knights castle 2022 are perfect sets to me : no stickers, a lot of prints, minifigs and no licensed theme. Just Lego perfectionism. And than there is the Lego Deathstar... I am a fan of the original trilogy (have them on Bluray) but I will never buy a Lego Starwars set : too expensive. For €1000 everything should be printed and minifigs with dual moulded legs. They even didn't bothers to include C3po with the dual moulded leg who is available in the buildable C3po. I'm curious to know how the sales of this set are.

Indeed!

That set brought me back from the dark ages. Amazing ship and island Great improvement on the old Barracuda

Definitely a fan of the SP 1 color scheme

I just prefer regular pirates without the fantasy Oh wow that looks fantastic!

For fantasy pirates we allready have pirates of the Caribbean

It's definitely one of the best sets ever for me

We did get the better version I think

Cats are the best ! Last set I have build was the new Black Pearl. Got it on day one . Sold the 2 gwp's to make it more affordable. So I paid €285 than. A more acceptable price. Building it was more fun than I thought. Not as easy because everything is black. First time I appreciate that there were a lot of colored bricks inside so it's easier to follow. Fun canon and ruther mechanics. Next set I'm waiting for is the Speed Champions Delorean.

Classic pirates and classic space are not popular enough to invest money in for the Lego company. Castle is the most popular theme from the classic themes...but Lego is Lazy. They just give us 4 new factions, a creator castle and that's it. They rely on amateur designers to design sets for their BDP program.

Yes, I completely agree with you.

Inflation is a means of the system to keep the rich ,rich and the poor ,poor.

A week or 2 I think. They were constantly out of stock. I just managed to order some a couple of days ago. I check every day now to check of the Griffins and Krakens are available

Wow it captures this scene so well Fantastic

Obviously a throwback to 6074 from 1986. The thing that bothers me is the square front towers. The original were more round. The motorized lighthouse 21335 has relatively easy building techniques to achieve round towers.

Nice old timers. I love those cars in real live

€90 over here

Yep, me too. I never liked the fantasy era from castle. Also not a fan of Lord of the Rings despite having Rivendell on display. Human villains are far more interesting in films than Orcs ,White Walkers and what not.. Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, ( Starwars) King Joffrey , Cersei,(Game of thrones), the Sherrif of Nothingham ( played by the great Alan Rickman ) in Prince of thieves. Biff, Griff, Buford (Back to the future) They are all human and interesting villains. Blacktron and Wolfpack are excellent villains. Now we need SpacePolice 1 come back to arrest the Blacktron! Non human villains are too one dimensional ,too boring, too evil, just being evil for the sake of evil. Human villains are not 100% bad , they have emotions , motivs and so on ,interesting character development and so on

From I was a child I really wanted to see a ancient Rome theme. With senate, centurions,soldiers and ofcourse enemies like Egyptians , Carthago/Hannibal, barbarian tribes ( Kelts, Germanic tribes ), Judeans... It definitely would be popular among adults

I mostly have good experiences in Belgium. Just one time a very bad experience.
