  1. Isn't orange squad firepower, because you've given all the turrets to the greens. I think your spot on with a base. I love bases because you need somewhere to dock your ships and plan your missions. Just one more thing... an actual large ship for the reds! They are VERY under represented.
  2. Just finished reading it all. Must of taken you a long time to get all this info. Thanks for posting this, it's strange how the pirates are viewed as the protagonists. It's also quite a coincidence Red beard, Broadside and Quextil all share the same birthday. Perhaps the twist is they're triplets! Well maybe...
  3. Great SNOT, and I love how you did the size differences between the rocks.
  4. I thought I found the deal of the month with Imperial Flagship (the new one) for £15 with a day to go. It ended up being £150. I have a few dragon torsos, but I prefer the chain mail lion torso. I just put dark green arms on them instead.
  5. The blonde beard is Davy Jones' from the black pearl set. Edit: Argh! Legonardo you beat me to it.
  6. Do you have to be part of the tournament to post a comic?
  7. Thanks for the great tutorial. This is a fantastic game!
  8. Good entry but I think you got red and blue's mixed up.
  9. The time is VERY confusing for me because sometimes EB says that someone posted something at 11pm when it's only 10pm.
  10. Yeah I tried to use basic parts.
  11. Great entry! Love the name "Little black riding moor".
  12. So a red ship and a blue ship crashed? The crew were marooned! Sorry... Good entry and good story kurigan.
  13. Well at least you got the redcoats being a great force bit right. Great entry and fantastic ships.
  14. About 50 minutes or an hour.
  15. Wow, this is fantastic. I tried playing it myself and it's really fun. A great new use for LEGO!
  16. Same old bluecoats, always copying us. Great photo though, and I love the tent.
  17. Thanks. Small sets like these can be easily lost in parts, or broken up over time, so I'm keeping my copy of the set safe.
  18. Yeah, I love how simple it is. The simplicity is what makes it so retro.
  19. My review today is on the Classic Space 886 Space Buggy. It was one of my first classic space sets, but does it meet the expectations of classic space or not? Time to find out! Theme: Space Year released: 1979 Pieces: 20 Mini-figures: 1 Price: On Bricklink for £2.52 upwards (Image from Bricklink) I don't have the box and I can't find the instructions so we'll skip ahead. The parts: Primarily grey parts, as with many early space sets, the only exceptions being the mini-figure and a translucent green round piece. The parts themselves are hardly interesting, except the figure. Moving on... The Mini-Figure The mini-figure in this set is a classic white spaceman. The white spaceman comes in most classic space sets, so he's not rare. Still, he's a charming chap, with his broad smile. As you can see here, his logo is starting to fade, but he doesn't mind. The back of the mini-figure. There was no back printing back when this figure came out, but he does get a standard white oxygen tank. The Buggy: The finished set. It's quite simple, but I think its the simplicity I like about it. It gives off a retro feel that I simply love! View from the front. As you can see, the driver gets an extra air-tank for when his runs out. You can also notice how thin the set is. The back. Here you can see his gun and the antenna of the buggy. Not much else to say. Ratings: Price: £2.50 is a lot for 20 common pieces, but old sets go for ridiculous prices these days, so I'd say this is fairly priced. 8/10 Build: You don't really get much of a build with only 20 pieces, but it's very enjoyable for how little has to be done. 9/10 Mini-figure: Although the minifig is very common, I just absolutely LOVE this fig. 10/10 Finished set: This set isn't very big, but I like it. And I think its essential for a space colony to go out on it and do tests. 9/10 Overall: 36/40. This set is amazing and pretty much perfect. Every space fan should get it!
  20. Thanks for the comments. As it would be my first modular I will probably get pet shop as having two buildings would help make my town bigger. On Topic: What plans do people have for fleshing out the interior? I would probably put a row of seats in front and behind the current seats, and then put a plate underneath them to make them rise.
  21. Yay! Great news. I for one like the interior and think the projectionists chair is fantastic. I will still probably mod the interior though. I will have to choose between getting this or pet shop. (OT: Do owners of pet shop think it is good?)
  22. Wow, love the windows. Your city is amazing, and this building fits into it.
