Mister Phes

Thank you for all your good work!

Awesome - which sets? I'm always looking to expand my MISB collection.

And what will the contest involve?

What do you mean by that?

I have governator powers and (almost) everyone else doesn't. Should get some BBcode setup to allow others to generate buttons too...

Also, I should note... If your MOC has been submitted to LEGO Ideas, bloody-well mention it in the first post with a link to the Ideas page so people can easily find and support the MOC. Here is one of those buttons... VOTE NOW

You're welcome! I also plonked a big fat button in your first post... VOTE NOW

Yes, nothing can be guaranteed as authentic until the LEGO Group confirms it. Until such time all information regarding future releases should be treated as speculation.

So?

What, this? Don't believe anything you see on social media. Image posted by lightning.rad_2.0

Also, a convenient big fat red button has been added to making voting easier for all you scurvey cats and dogs. VOTE NOW

Noted and voted.

WHAT! WHERE???

Welcome aboard! Thank you for posting your MOC. TIP: when posting a MOC, always include a few pictures in the first post otherwise people look at the topic and quickly move along. Photos grab attention! I've edited your first post for you and added a photo and YouTube video - I'll leave the rest to you.

Good to see the crew has gotten bigger over the three decades. The recruitment program must be really paying off

Good work, lad!

Indeed. E.g. Space Pirates. Actually, I wouldn't mind Space Pirates in the context of the LEGO Space theme, but I wouldn't like romanticized piracy combined with futuristic space technology.

And thank for posting your MOC here - this forum wouldn't be anything without fine contributions such as this.

I like my LEGO Pirates without anachronistic technology being incorporated, whether that be a thousand years into the future, or just a hundred.

This is some fascinating stuff - thank you for the thorough investigation! So I take you're a developer? Interesting to note the new character names...

Another great submission! Maybe we frontpage this one @Faladrin and @Roadmonkeytj?

Start yer drinkin' for it be done! Admittedly slightly later than intended but life got in the way.

Oh very nice! I'll make a more thorough review when time permits.

Aye, LEGO Pirates is perhaps unique in that regard. Your MOC would make a fine social media story at some point in the future!

I'll spare you a rant about my disdain for steampunk. Quality is not the only factor when considering a purchase. There has to be a certain degree of innovation and I feel they were too derivative of what had been released before. I've been following LEGO Pirates since 1990, so pretty much from the beginning. When the 2009 set were released, it was seen as "return to form" by many long-term Pirates fans. Since Pirates ended their run in 1997, all we'd had were 4 released sets, the hideous 4+ Pirates and Duplo Pirates, so finally we got some new SYSTEM LEGO Pirates sets! We were quite ecstatic about that. Then the same formula was repeated in 2015 (more or less), and it felt a little tired. There's more to the LEGO Pirates universe than soldiers and pirates, so it's about these ideas were explored. But yeah, that's the point of the 5-7 year release cycle, so even if the new wave of sets don't push new frontiers, it won't be the same kids buying them anyway.
