Thank for your reply but I think I need to share the link to show what's happening. And I am not sure about the name of the site is swpwak.sleepysheepy.shop or susshopes. I may be wrong but I don’t think that more traffic would benefit the site if visitors know that site is not ethical.

Dear Lego fans Some time ago I created some MOCs about real-life samurai Miyamoto Musashi, and a few years ago I posted them here. Now, I have found a website that, supposedly, sells my MOC without my consent. Look: https://swpwak.sleepysheepy.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5354&products_id=104927 I feel that I need to warn all Lego fans about this, because your MOCs may be in that site too. I created my MOC with Bricklink studio and the person who, supposedly, sell my MOC has used the same pic I created, so I guess is a scam. If they had recreated my MOC with real pieces, I guess they post their own photos instead of mine. But I don't really know. Do you know something about how that website works? Best regards

I feel dissapointed. Reasons: 1) Very similar to original. Pirates of Barracuda bay was a great set because it wasn't a remake of an old set only. It was an island you can transform into a ship or viceversa. Very original idea, specially when the island was very different from other pirate bases like Rocky Reef or Skull Island. However, this set offers no new properties at all, compared with 1989 set. 2) No pirate captain minifig 3) The design of the coffer is worse than original Lego coffers 4) The monkey can't move its legs or arms 5) The Shakos haven't got printed parts like 2009 and 2015. 6) one of the original doors is a plate in the new set. I think it doesn't worth if you have the 1989 set.

Hi: I have discovered that in the videogame "The Simpsons: tapped out", there is a dragon that look almost equally the Lego dragons from 1990s Lego Castle. More specifically, the dragon character who appears in some 1993 sets of the Dragon Masters faction, and 1997 sets of Fright Knights faction. obviously, EA games copied the shape of the Lego dragons. It would be interesting to discover more Lego influences of non-lego products. If you know more, please post it here! Thank you!

Thanks for all the comments in June and sorry for the delay, I have just read them now. All new comments suggest me to improve the MOC, I'll consider it. I don't always have time to build and when I do, I'll probably start a new MOC instead (I also want to buy non-pirate MOCS), but next time I build a Pirate MOC, it will be a improved version of this fortress considering all of your suggestions. Thanks for the tutorial too.

Hi: I have created a video that tell Miyamoto Musashi's story. I have used several pics about his life events and created the video. Isn't an animated video but a sucession of pics with narrative texts, but hope you like it anyway. Here you have: Best regards

Thanks a lot for your sincere and constructive comment, JeffBuilds. I'll consider in future MOCs. Best regards

Finally, I have built the inside: Oh, I forgot about the other suggestions, but I'll consider it in the future. Best regards!

Good suggestion, Brickander. Thanks a lot and I’m glad you find it nice!

Thank you for sharing the comic! I have just looked it now and is nice, even I miss other factions. Best regards!!

Thanks Zinnn. Currently, the inside of the building is empty but I'll work in it. I'm glad you like the exterior. Sadly, I didn't find the Imperial Armada flag in Bricklink Studio. Best regards!

In another MOC I posted, I have been informed about this: Sorry, I didn't know. I feel embarrased. I used spoilers because pics are large and I don't know how to post it in a reduced way so I thought it would be better... but I was wrong. In any case, I hope you like my Samurai-related MOCs

Sorry, I didn't know there are such a rule like that. I feel embarrased. In any case, thank you for removing the spoiler and I hope you like my MOC

Hi mates: As you know, the 1996-1997 Imperial Armada had no base, and this is something that has always dissapointed me, so I have made a MOC to "solve" it. As a self-criticism to my MOC, I will say that the minifigs have too static postures, but it is more difficult when you do it with Bricklink studio than with physical minifigs. Anyway, that same statism brings me good memories because I find it similar to how they put the minifigs in the last step of the instruction booket, which was precisely to include them (although it is not an excuse, I know). Well, here my MOC: Hope you like it!

Cool scans! 1993 was a great Lego year in my favourite themes. They released the Dragon Knights with a wizard and a dragon, adding fantasy elements to Castle. The other factions (Black Knights and wolfpack) were also cool. 1997 Fright Knights were also cool, but they were a newer version of Dragon Knights. About Space, Ice Planet 2002 was also a cool faction. In your scans we can see 2 Blacktron frozen minifigs. This is the first time I see that because in normal catalogues only one frozen Blacktron appeared. Thanks for sharing!!
