  1. Aside from the price, I love this set! When I saw the prelim pics of Agetns I did not like the theme, but all the sets are starting to look more attractive now I can see the cool features and details! As for this set, I really like the bad-guy boat for some reason and the submarine looks good - I love the dark blue colour.
  2. I am starting to like this theme more and more. I like this set but is to expensive for me.
  3. $100 in the UK? 'Tis a rip off, I will not buy it. Actually I do not have any MM sets yet, I should get one.
  4. e-bay: 70 % Lego S@H: 20 % Woolworths: 10% I use ebay a lot, mainly for old sets like space or pirate Lego.
  5. Oooh, this is promising! How did I miss this thread? Anyway, the two figs look good especially the Napoleon like figure and I do hope this is a hint at a new pirate line.
  6. Greetings fellow pirate lovers, I bring ye another review this time of 6264 Forbidden Cove! Overview This set was released in 1994 and consists of 4 minifigures, 207 pieces and retailed at $30, not bad but not exactly an amazing deal! The Full Review The set, as mentioned earlier contains 4 minifigs, 2 islanders and 2 rag-tag pirates. On top of that their are a variety of accessories. A close up shot of the two pirates, both looking very scruffy! ...And the two islanders, both wearing differing outfits. A musket and pistol are the weapon of choice for the pirates for long range combat whilst the poor islanders are stuck with the bow and arrow. A very cool tribal drum, in the words of King Kahuka himself: "I beat you like tribal drum" And the treasure, quite a good helping this time, 8 coins instead of 4. Now for the set itself, a small fort for the islanders which consists of a canoe, a croc, and the pesky pirates planning plundering! The pirates and the small rowing boat, nothing unique here. One of two floors of the structure, providing shelter. The roof is constructed using 3 palm leaves, held up by 4 1x1 pillars. The pet croc, looking for a nice pirate meal Now for the most striking part of the set, a stone "mask", made from bricks and plates, no single large moulds used here to construct it. Although their are burps on either side of it... It even swivels on a hinge revealing the submerged ground floor, presumably to hide the treasure, but their isn't actually anything inside aside from to 2x4 red bricks on either side. The back of the set, with no walls for easy play, showing the 2 floors and ladders to climb up to the 2nd floor Not much room, but easily defendable, assuming the pirates attack from the front! A rather tall palm tree is located to the right of the outpost on the beach. A spear shield is provided and the vines in the back ground are a nice touch too A Kuhuka mask is sitting on a pole at the very top of the outpost, casting its watchful gaze upon any intruder! The set is ideal for adventures, with several play features and accessories included Nothing lack a good whacking to keep your senses alert! Overall this set has a very solid build, the colour scheme is nice, the black red and grey works well, and the swivelling entrance is very cool, so I suggest that if you do not have this set already, go and buy it! Comments, criticism and pies welcome!
  7. The woolworths I visit to buy lego has an okay stock actually, not great, but still not as bad as some places.
  8. Sigh, I am 2085 Storage Frog Looks like me too! Actually 2085 came in different colours...
  9. Agreed, I can't stand ITV's coverage. "Any way we have an exclusive interview with Lewis Hamilton, than a lap by lap guide with Lewis Hamilton, then a competition to win a fantastic trip to see Lewis Hamilton. As well as that the grand prix of France is on, how will Lewis fare this race? See more annoying talk about everyone's favourite driver Lewis Hamilton only on ITV. Lewis Lewis Lewis!" ^That is a small snippet of what it is like.
  10. Nice plain ol' cheddar for me. I also like Mozzarella too on pizzas! Though pie still tops cheese by a long way.
  11. I really like the evil black c-3po! I like the way 3 episodes have been combined into one play set!
  12. That was amusing, especially having seen the bazooka! Nice construction of the legs too.
  13. Have I said happy birthday yet? I can't actually remember...
  14. I understood it. Great as usual!
  15. It reminds me of the boulder scene in Indiana Jones! Very cool and interesting size comparison too.
  16. The majority of the fans agreed that Lucas had finally lost it with "Indy V: SW crossover edition"
  17. Looks great, keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing the finished version.
  18. Today? I wait for the grand prix qualifying!
  19. I am liking the look of the volcano base, all those trans orange bricks!
  20. It's true I got Eldorado fortress for only £25 too.
  21. I used super glue and it worked fine!
  22. I'm going to bid possibly!
  23. Harsh but true! Congrats to the winners, and may they enjoy their prizes!
  24. Haven't commented for a while, but they are still as great and as intriguing as ever!!
