Guss

you're welcome,notice that I'm not the first who did it, Svelte Corps did an excellent review of it too : there^^

nice church^^ I like the black statue and the thing in front of it^^ the kind of "autel"

I like your entry sandy.. but I don't love it... what's going to happen to me ? ^^

Hello everyone! As someone asked me *stare at Zorro3999* I'm going to post my review of the Brickbeard Bounty here^^ Ref : 6243 Name : Brickbeard's Bounty Pieces: 592 Price : 99 USD Gallery: HERE 1/ The Package I received it 5 day after the payment ( on ebay ) , that's quite fast for a US/Swiss shipment! the seller was very cool ( Atkoy on ebay). nicely packaged, with plastic bubbles and tape. at first sight, he bought it at toys R us^^ 2/ The box We can see on it a nice scene, as usual, the box was a little twisted but all the pieces are fine! back of the box on one sides, there is the minifigs : 3/ Inside the box In this box, there is 4 numeroted bags, + 1 bag for the masts +1 bag for the sails +the hull pieces and finally 2 manuals that opens on a different way. The front of the two manuals are the same than the front of the box : 4/ Building the minifig and bag1 Deleted because of pics limit 5/ Building the bag 2 Deleted because of pics limit 5/ Building the bag 3 Deleted because of pics limit 6/ Building the bag 4 Deleted because of pics limit 7/ Complete set Here are all the extra of the entire set : with the 2 sabre^^ here is the complete set, put as it is on the box : arg it's blurry , sorry ^^ 8/ Comparative here are some pics to compare the new pirate line and the ancient ! ancient/new canons, the brown based is the ancient one I prefer the colours of the new canons, looks like more "metallic" to me. ancient/new parrot, the new is at the left. the new parrot have the advantage to be directly made with 2 colours, not printed like the old one, but I still prefer the old parrot, the new one is just more beautiful from behind : Brickbeard VS Redbeard the head of the new captain is cool, more "piratey" , and his back is printed! but the old one is quite nice too , here we easily can see the difference between the old and new jolly roger on their hat, the new one is more "tooney", I prefer the old one old/new chest : just the colour is new, quite different from the indy gold chest too. old/new imperials : old/new shark : way bigger, isn't it ? 9/ minifigs and accessories A little pictures of all the accessories included : a lot of thing, isn't it ? Detail of the map, wich is the same than in the indy sets. the new shark is awesome, excellent, we can attach a minifig to it fin, there is two studs on the top , 4x2 1/studs on the bottoms as I said earlier an entire minifig fits in it : can you see the little hat ? tadam!! here is the pirate crew : governor daughter + the soldiers : the mermaid + the back of the girl without her hairs to see the details of her dress: we'll see that both the mermaid and the daughter have reversible face^^ the back of the mermaid, wich is very cool : for the captain, see the comparative pictures up there new accessory, the "longue vue" that can be user to make a lot of things : 10/ Complete set, with better pics ladies and gentlemen, here it is : the front is a little empty, but who cares : Terre! terre! nice look isn't it ? the captain's cabin, with the captain himself counting his treasures : under the cabin, the rhum and the rat : and the complete boat : more pics are available at the beginning of the topic^^ 11/ Conclusion I'm really happy to have got this boat, it's excellent, instead of a note, I'll make a "pro/con" : pros : first pirate ship for a loonng time lot of "golden" pieces lot of nice details ( cabin, rat, rhum , the front with a little snot, like Sveltes Corps showed, the lanterns, etc etc) 7 minifigs, 1 mermaid ! 3 animals, 1 big shark ! cool manual, funny build, little comics general aspect very nice , a lot of playability for children! I looove the new sails! little darkblue boat <3 cons : only 3 canons ... the parts holding the sails made with flexible tubes.. no anchor ?? that's all! I'll say that every pirate fan must have this set , I really enjoyed building it, and it's still complete since I built it, 2 weeks ago!!! that's something very rare in my case ( I destroyed the SW sandcrawler 1h after I finished it, and it's the set that stayed "entire" the longer^^) If I'll have to give it a note I'll say 9/10, because of the cons! and the minifigs are excellent!!^^ see ya all!^^ huh.. sorry , I can't post the entire review ... too many images, is there a way to do it ?

Hello and welcome there greek lurker^^

and now I'm going to buy these sets ONLY for the minifig's reversible head! quite expensive just for this! ^^ thanks for the nice review^^

as Thebrickster already put my entry with written " entry #1 by guss" I thought it was useless to put it myself^^ May I do it ?

you edited my picture to use it for the contest ! bad guy ( joking, I'm happy you used it^^) arggg you added the entry limit! now snif but that's better like this^^ good luck everyone! can't wait to see your entries!

gotta love the angled stairs ISC ^^ Matn, I just looked at you apothecary, that's a very nice building! but... the wizard hat let me think he wants to become a magician^^

funny story ^^ next time put my sigfig with vador to kick copmike's megablocks, all that people needs is to kick admins/mods and fellow megablocks! EEEEK I didn't say anything! *run away in fear*

+1 you totally convince me to buy it! ARGGG I'm going to spend some money again in old sets!! a lot of unique piece, a cool design, a lot of not-unique pieces but cool pieces I don't have! I want one! gimme gimme!! great review of a great set

super little scene^^ I like it ! the "snow cavern" is really well done!

nice new sails! It's the detail that change everything^^ I really love your moc now :P

so my moc became an entry for this contest^^ Is it it that gave you the idea of the contest ? If that's it, I'm really proud ! ( PS : add a "only one entry by member" line or I'll build something else )

beuurrk that's disgusting^^ great entry everyone! I love the erdbeereis snowbox! ^^

Lt. Col. Thok , sir dano : thanks a lot^^ Thrash: hehe thanks^^ yes I really built it quickly , so I used the wall of my EBCCB, and the little dwarf mine come from a moc project I abandoned , it took 1hour or less to build the rest^^ I finished it 10 minute before I had to go in the TGV! Sir Dillon : thanks^^ mhhh.. on the dwarves floor, there is a duel going on between the dwarf and the minerals! on the tunnel floor there is a kind of duel between the man and the orcish.. well, a duel of rapidity! ^^ I didn't think of it but your idea of making 3 duels is nice!

that's a very cool mosaic, I'm not a fan of mosaics but that's still cool^^

seems to be a very nice ship, but is there only 3 view of the front ? it's all we can see on Flickr :/

Hello and welcome Laurie^^

I totally agree with Sir Dano, the actual horses are perfect, I just don't need another design^^

yay I saw it after I posted , , did you try to fit a motor inside it and it didn't work ? not enough room ? or does a electric motor coupled to a airthing is just not enough to make the wheels move ?

thanks for all the kind words Erdbeereis1 , whitefang and Dennimator ( btw, the little rock is there because I was running out of white tile *whistle* ) ^^ Sorry dennimator, I didn't find what your sigfig looked like :/ it's hard to tell from your avatar ( and I don't know if I have the pieces for ^^ )

Cool I'm frontpaged^^ thanks a lot The Brickster ^^ a little question that does not belong here^^ is there a RSS feed to classic-town ? I have it in my favourites ( like classic-pirates and castle^^ ) but didn't found any rss?

don't worry^^ I'll not interfere anymore! I'll just cheer ! ^^ ouuuppsssss Erdbeereis1, I never noticed that you were a Fellow ^^ wait! I ll explain this right now .. mhh... mhh... FOUND ! Explanation : This pictures was taken before the race, we were waiting and you came just to check the track ^^ this explain why you look at the little rock to the right !

that's not a bad idea, but I preferred to post what we are : the peoples watching : :P from left to right : Stauder, Vbbn ( without epaulettes^^ ), Erdbeereis1, me, a stormtrooper , zorro3999, Captain Zuloo who let his normal camera at home, so he took this little one instead :P
