Mister Phes

You got larger photos uploaded to somewhere like Flickr?

Now that you mention it, snagging an opened on doesn't seem like a bad idea. I've got two MISB copies of it floating around somewhere.

While I like the build of this set, I've never really paid to its accessories before. It's surprising the LEGO Group released a new minifigure design for such a small set. Or correct me if the torso and head have appeared in prior sets... Also, just noticed... while the coins are still rendered in vacuum metal gold, they're in different denominations to the coins from classic sets. I.e. 10, 20, 30, 40 versus 1, 2, 5, 10...

I wonder if I could make a blog post out of him...

Most excellent!

And if you're wondering about the first blog post by @JintaiZ, can find that right here.

This pirate paradise puts Paradisa to pasture!

Works for me!

So where do we see this in action?

But would you buy one for yourself?

Excellent finds, Zinn! But it would be fantastic if the builders included minifigs in their creations - it gives the MOCs so much more depth!

Who are these people inviting themselves over to my place for dinner!

I'm specifically focusing on pirate emojis and the dollar signs predates the period in which the LEGO Pirates theme is set. But in a similar vein I've been working on some treasure emojis.

Nay, it was intended to be a historical reference to the West Indies campaign of 1803–1810. In fact, we commend ye for posting your custom minifigs in the LEGO Pirates MOC Subfourm!

Ah yes, the Classic Pirates recall that time Napoleon came to visit the Caribbean for some friendly invasions.

Aye, but from which army?

This is worthy of the Eurobricks frontpage! But is @Jack Sassy up to the task?

Work In Progress...

Nice work! The MOCs are well built and the presentation is superb, but the ships be lacking sails and minifigs so that's somewhat of a deterrent from promoting them through our blog and social network. But this Imperial Outpost hits the mark on what we're looking for!

This Volcano Island is a lot spicier than the official LEGO set of the same name. Is this the only photo? Because it would be interesting to see this island with some terrified minifigs!

Excellent! There is a huge difference in the way Firefox (left) renders Helvetica versus Chrome (right) so I may well put the forward the suggestion of changing the font to Inter in other forums.

Fascinating! So you have no idea where he came from?

The default Invision PowerBoard font is Roboto. But the font the used by the other Eurobricks forums is Helevtica, I'm not certain if that is even deliberate or the font is broken and it's falling back to Helevitca, but on Windows it looks a lot more clunkier than it does on Mac. I'm only responsible for the LEGO Pirates Forum which already has numerous customisations not present in other forums. And I don't like the way Helevtica renders on my displays so I don't want to see it anymore - simple as that! I looked into various fonts throughout the week and Inter was the one I decided was most appropriate. Now that's its deployed, ironically I think Jost displayed better for me. But there are various different factors which determines how a font will display so maybe it will suit others better. So what about now with a different font? Typically, I'm having some eye strain with the new one. But let's see if I can get used to it.

Is Van Dyke related to Dick?
