    A plastic car made of plastic bricks.

    Not a huge number, but that's because the hull is really wide and only suitable for really big ships. The 4+ set uses only 1 middle section, but because of the width, 2 or 3 of them are more suitable due to proportion. And this makes the hull really huge, with a lot of bricks necessary to fill it. It's really hard to build thips like these every month.

    One, or two if you count the Harry Potter ship hull (same as the 4+ Pirates, just with different colours). So far...

    I remember those from Polish streets, both versions but the estate type was less common (although I personally knew a guy who owned one). Great job overall, it's instantly recognisable!

    The 4+ Pirates produced one of the best ship hulls available from LEGO!

    Actually you're right. The original Cerebro in the early comics was a rather small device, which means it can even appear in the set in one room after all.
  7. Dreamweb
    One rumour says that it actually was. If built to scale, the Cerebro all by itself would be a pretty huge set... That's why I understand limiting the mansion only to the living part of the building...

    Just saw the X-Mansion on Twitter. I don't get the criticism. Of course, it's not a modular building. So what? It's definitely not just the front wall, you can see some stuff inside. Kind of reminds me of the Hidden Side castle, only larger—a courtyard, front walls, some depth to the rooms, probably no back walls. And I really enjoyed that set. Then again, it may look very different as the final version. Anyway, I might actually consider getting this—my first Marvel set in quite some time.

    You may both be correct, of course. Heck, it may even be something like a living ship, literally a ship that is also a shark. With a mouth, teeth, etc. We'll just have to wait and see. But maybe, MAYBE it'll have enough of a true pirate ship in it to appeal to some of us. I never had any interest in the Punk Pirate Ship, or, while we're at it, in the slightly piratey Friends set 41375 with its 2D pirate ship. However, I did get the Flying Time Vessel from the abovementioned Time Cruisers series once, for its unique hull and some other usefull pieces. On the other hand, I skipped the weird MetalBeard's Sea Cow (I would consider buying it if it were smaller and more affordable). So, for me it's a bit hitty-missy with those not-quite-pirate-ships. That's why I'm not ruling out the possibility of getting this future ship. Time will tell...

    What about the rumoured Dreamzzz theme? https://www.brickfanatics.com/first-rumoured-list-lego-dreamzzz-2023-sets Apparently, it will be a theme where a bunch of characters jump between dreams, which may be twisted versions of more classic LEGO themes like Pirates, Castle, etc. Most importantly, the list does include this set: 71469 Knightmare Shark Ship with 1,389 pieces. While this does give off heavy Time Cruisers vibes, let's hope this time it will be done much better and we have a chance to get a decent-looking new pirate-ish ship.

    I totally forgot that the Loot Island used the same silly 'rotating cannon on a boat' configuration. Well, it was the weakest set of the 2009 wave. Personally, I always considered the Harbor Sentry as a parts pack of sorts. And on a side note, it's funny how the brown cannon bases are now the rare and expensive ones (both old and new brown actually!), while the red ones are much cheaper and easier to get. Back when the Pirates were a new theme, it was the other way around, as the red ones were only available in big and expensive sets, and the brown ones were in more affordable sets like this one!

    Thanks!

    Mine is still assembled, although with some slight modifications. It IS a really nice medium-sized Pirate ship, big up to LEGO for that set!
  14. Dreamweb
    Well, I'd say mine is 95% about Pirates. https://www.instagram.com/dreamweb_mocs/

    Much like the Caribbean Flagship before, here's another old ship of mine which received an overhaul this year. I always liked the overall idea and colours of the Devil Lady, but I considered her a bit unfinished. So I decided to change it and upgrade the ship a little. First of all, I added more ratlines. Also, the bow has a new, more streamlined shape. The main deck is now made almost entirely of tiles instead of exposed studs. Some other smaller things were also changed, and I like her much more now. The first post has been updated accordingly with new images. I left one image of the original version of the ship for comparison. Go take a look! Thanks!

    Thanks! I really wish LEGO released the standard ship hull pieces in dark blue (to match the dark blue boats which some of the imperial soldiers were given). I did experiment with various sizes. Perhaps I'll still try that! Thanks!

    Thanks for the comment! It's much harder to do than a regular hull, partially because of the curvature.

    Let's leave animals to the pirates. Thanks for the comment! Thanks!!!

    Thanks! Well in that case apologies to @Mister Phes. Indeed I can see your name below the blog post. Great job with the blog as a whole! Thanks, but because of the combination, the bow is extremely fragile. I guess I will have to rework and reinforce it a bit.
  20. Dreamweb
    Thanks a lot! EDIT: Arr, that's quite a blog entry you've made there! I especially like the picture of myself with the Duplo set. Excellent job Mr. @Marooned Marin !

    That was very much intentional. I had the building instructions of both 6271 and 6274 on the table while making this. The old version (last picture in the first post) resembled the Caribbean Clipper even more. The current version is more customised.

    Thanks mate! Much appreciated, thanks!

    Cool, I just joined it, as I already use Discord for other stuff anyway.

    Yes, the roof rests on tiles, so it's easy to lift. By the way, the new version is now on Instagram too, so check it out in there as well!

    Five years after I built it, I made an improved version of my Imperial Clipper/Caribbean Flagship. I have edited the first post so that the pictures now show the new version, plus there is a single picture of the old version for comparison. I really felt it deserved an upgrade, so here it is! I hope you like the changes I made to it!
