I'm only saying one thing: MORE PRIZES! Thanks to Brickarms.com

Thanks to the kind people of Brickarms, we are able to enlarge the current first and second prizes of our Bayonets at Dawn Contest with some amazing items! The first prize, the Armybuilder's Package, now includes 20 Brickarms bayonets and clips and 6 rapiers for your officers! Also the second prize (the five Soldier's Arsenals) receives 5 additional bayonets and clips, one for each soldier! Go discuss this in the Contest thread!

Haha, very funny and nice comic Ratshot. And a happy Birthday to you, Captain Blackmoor, I wish you much fun, luck, LEGO, and health for the coming year!

Happy Birthday Izzy! I wish you another very fine year filled with lots of LEGO, fun, love and health!

Welcome to Eurobricks, my fellow Belgian! Have fun and enjoy the hobby!

Again, thank you all for your reactions, people, and I really really like your stories Blackmoor and Ratshot, they are very funny (and quite true ) indeed!

Awesome! Start building people, I want to see entries!

Yes, we have no bussiness in where you get your bricks to build your entry. Just try to not rob the toystores for it, will you ?

It was hard to remember into my current drunken state but I'm 99% sure it was: Crush & Destroy mode ON!

Of course it went up. I joined end 2008 and started buying like crap in 2009 . Now lets hope this affects the market price! They mean that LEGO Belgium (representing TLG) indeedly has the largest marketshare of all toy suppliers in Belgium! More then Mattel,...

I gave them to you, but it was a bit after April 1, as a punishment for your cruelness! I don't remember the exact wordings either anymore. I gave the 'nice guy again' one too after you admitted it was a joke.

RUm, rum, rum ya boat...! Thanks, this really looks awesome! Nice work!

Thanks everyone, although I am starting to feel soooo terribly old !

Sorry but no, one entry per person but no teams please. Yes. Much luck and fun everyone.

I don't know him personally either, heard about his username etc. but indeedly a great loss for the community. Rest in peace...

Armies are on the war-path - from Blenheim to Bunker Hill to Balaclava, Leipzig to Lissa, Wagram to Waterloo, powder is readied, and sabres polished. And it's war - and a very unhealthy trade! Your task is to build a battle scene, based on an actual battle, as realistically as possible. The battle should have taken place between 1450 and 1880, including Spanish Conquest in the Americas and American Civil War (but hence excluding the Boer War). Pre-1450 battles in the Americas (eg. Mayan, Inca) are also allowed, as they fit the general genre, but not medieval battles of the same era (eg. knights on horseback). All "factions" are allowed. Naturally, fantasy elements are not permissible. Any queries, just ask. And yes, there are prizes to win! Now quickly click here to read all about it!

And a Happy Birthday from me too, oh grandmaster of the Eurobricks realm!

I already found me a Pet. Thanks!

I read it last week but didn't have time to comment so I will do it now. I really like the story with all the throne pretendars, as usual, and the three judges' room looks very nice and so does the witches' 'house' . Thanks for sharing, and I'm looking out for the next chapter!

As Academy Teacher with few time, I am on the lookout for a PTP (Personal Teacher's Pet) to assist me with the transfer of Pirate related content towards the Pirates forum. Everyone that is interested can let me know in this thread. DO read the previous pages of this thread before you react!!! Thank You!

I know you are all getting wild of the idea alone already, but please lets try to keep this thread a bit on topic, if you guys want to talk about this more you can use PM or MSN/IM . As I said before, having a bit of patience might do wonders, because we have something into our sleeve that is on the edge of falling out! Big from Mrs. Zorro to you all!

I love The Swan, it really looks like one and it fits right into your story, I'm looking forward to reading about it! I see someone beat me to blogging it on Classic-Pirates.com, well...less work for me ! Thanks for sharing!

Also I wish to thank Captain Zuloo for his outstanding contributions to Classic-Pirates.com and Eurobricks. He also told me he was going to continue with his interviews, I am happy he will do so . And I'm sure we will hear from him soon enough, its not that he completely abandoned the ship!

That's King Kahuka of course, from the Islanders faction.
