I knew it was a very high number, but I was too lazy to go and check, so I went with the safe option.

Umm, I think it's been discussed a bit. There's an over 5 page thread about the ship just a few threads down. It's also been on the Eurobricks and Classic Pirates frontpages

I build on the floor, on a rug in front of my sorting containers. The rug has short fibers, so the pieces don't get lost. Often I sing whatever song I have stuck in my head while I build. Probably doesn't sound very musical, but it's not supposed to.

Yes. In reality I have all staff members under mind control, granting my every wish.

That is gorgeous! I really like the colors, they're quite different. Great work on the sails as well. You can tell that a lot of hard work was put into them. Awesome work you two. One of the best ships I've seen for sure.

Pockets?

I was there yesterday and saw neither impulses nor ornaments...

I'm almost positive that the batteries are replaceable. I remember something about it in the Mobile Command Center instructions.

Very beautiful MOC Kris Kelvin. I love the idea of updating a great old set, and you've done it wonderfully. The entrance is very good. I've never seen that many cheese slopes used on an arch underside, usually it's just 4 or so. It looks excellent in a larger quantity. I like that you changed out the classic red for the new dark red, as it prevents the MOC from becoming too bright. Good luck in the contest!

Lifelites are very popular. I've never tried them myself, but I've heard that most people like them. Another option would be this light brick that comes in the Agents Mobile Command Center set. It has a pretty good yellow-orange light. Hope that helps. Good luck!

That is simply outstanding Svelte. The design and colors are great. Did you get most of that dark tan from Bricklink? I don't have too much of it from sets... Your idea for plants in the front is ingenious. If you don't mind, I think I'll borrow it soon. You did a beautiful job on this.

Only a moderator can change your name, and they only do that in very special cases. Usually names are not changed. If you want, you can PM a mod, but this doesn't belong in the Pirate forum. Closed.

Sly, how did you attach those treasure chests? That looks really nice. I'm using Sly's flipper roof idea for one of my MOCs that I'm working on at the moment. I think that it looks great in most situations. One technique that I like to use is a normal plate roof with tiles on it, that are not totally attached everywhere.

Bengun, there's already a topic on LEGO piece quality over in the general discussion forum, so I'll move this there and merge it.

One of my rock monster's arms were loose out of the box. I emailed TLG and they sent me a new one that works fine.

You can't index it in here anyway.

Excellent review Rapseflaps. I'll index it. I like this set very much, it has that great islanders feel to it, with some outstanding minifigs and pieces.

I am almost positive that they are the same size. I haven't seen anything to indicate something else.

Happy birthday Peppermint! Hope you have a great day.

I've merged the 2 topics on this. It is such a stunning creation. I almost couldn't believe it when I saw it.

Haha! Nice entry, it helps that we're all included. Good luck in the contest.

I'll just lock this one.

Happy birthday Hinck and Mandy! I'm wishing you a fantastic day, filled with fun. Eat an ice cream for me.

Very nice work on this. It will go in the large, as it's a big too big for medium. I'll change the thread's title. Also, like Blackmoor said the picture limit is three, so if you could take some pics out that would be great. Good luck!

Well, it will be a LEGO exclusive which means I will only be available from LEGO Brand Stores and Shop At Home. But I would imagine that it will be around for a while, sort of like Green Grocer and Cafe Corner.
