Mister Phes

Do you have any other pirate sets?

You're quite brave to buy LEGO from eBay without seeing pictures of it first. There's currently a MISB Skulls Eye Schooner on eBay for US $355.00 - anyone want to buy that and crack it open? X-D

Where did you manage to procure this wonderful ship from?

Although he might be boycotting Eurobricks now that his thread has been closed. X-D

It seems PDF is not the way to go! That might be something very important to consider in the future. It is also a possibility of having two mailing lists, one for those who only want Newsletters and another for those who want a Combination of Bulletins and Newsletters.

My mistake - it appears the Imperial Flagship auction is still ongoing.

Here is an article series @TalonCard and I worked on back in the late 2000's. The design seems a bit dated now but the content is still entertaining enough. Part I - Pirates Part II - Soldiers Part III - Imperial Guards Part IV - Islanders Part V - Imperial Armada (incomplete) Now tell us what you think of it! Download Part IV

I've given the thread a more meaningful title. I don't think "Attention" will get enough attention X-D

What do you mean by ideas? As in mini-figure torso designs?

I'd get rid of the Adventurer mini-figures are replace them with Imperial Armada min-figures X-D

It's hard to say as the set is only 85% complete and the listing doesn't specify which pieces are missing. If you want to use the pieces for MOCing purposes then you probably don't need a box either. Large boxes can sometimes increase the value of sets by about $20. I'd say this was a reasonable price for a complete Imperial Flagship, on the proviso: a) You don't have one b) You want to build it as an Imperial Flagship. If you wanted to MOC with it then I'd say it's too much just for pieces. They've all been bought now so that's the end of that!

Well here's Master-Mates People used to have lots of fun misinterpreting his name X-D

Well here's ALL the Pugwash characters X-D

I've added a second poll question to ascertain the best format to distribute these bulletins/newsletters.

What condition is A, B and D in? You'll really need to provide more information if you want an accurate answer. Are these sets MISB? (I.e. never been opened) Or have been they used? If so, are they complete? What condition are the pieces in? Is the box included?

Oh yeah... I notice the the thread title is spelled "wreak" but I assume that is meant to be "wreck"

It would be GREAT if the other 5 people who voted could provide some more information.

I thought the fellow bursting through the straw roof was executed very well! SylOwl deserves his MOC expert tag!

Are you being serious? Is there a picture?

Has any of this information been helpful to you Francis Marion?

Have you watched the YouTube video?

And here he is!
