Signed. LEGO Pirates (incl. Redcoats, Bluecoats, Islanders and so on) has in my opimoin one of the biggest creative potentials of all themes. I can understand that it is not permanently continued, but compared to licensed themes and the 10.000st space variation theme it should be worth a full 3 Season Assignement. We miss an Imperial Ship, a Harbor and so on. And as its said, "not permanently discontinued" meant 13 years last time. Thats too hard. I'm really really concerned, seeing all these new licenced series that Lego will become exchangeable and looses its identity. One thing is for sure: I won't buy any sets of this new licenced stuff for me or my kids -never. Best Regards, Jan

With all my respect for you skills, but I would hate it if now every second post would be about more or less skillfull "designed" clone troopers - like on another Lego related page. (Most of them are poor victims of an evil Sith Lord called Darth Edding.) Their creators mostly doesn't seem to have enough respect for a beautiful, pure white clone trooper worth 2.-€ and make something of them looking very close to an armored transvestite... Best Regards, JanSued

Ok, if nobody else wants to throw the first stone - I'll do! RAT RACE The crew of the HMS Destiny got bored by destroying one bluecoat wooden sailing barrel after the other from a safe distance or of counting how many bullets their armor can repell, so the wanted to do some training with there SECRET WEAPONS (Tamdatamdam!). Because the made enough prisonsers and collected them on further notice on a small island, they decided to do game -a deadly game- called Rat Race. They put two of those bluecoat darwinist creatures on a row boat and told them to get away. Even under normal circumstances any kind of physical activity is a deadly thread for those lazy bastards, under stress they have enourmos problems at the brain/muscle coordination skills - and we will have enough to laugh about. Captain Admundson, although willing to motivate his crew didn't like all this new high tech stuff. He discusses it with the glorious leader of the light marine infantry, Colonel Ironbeard. "I'm pretty sure nothing of this Abakadabra will enlighten me..." "Sir, I'm sure it will" "I bet it won't" "You bet . I'm in. 20?" "Thats fine..." "Sir, at first we let Mylady Leia shoot it out. We have a new Browning Long Distance Rifle and she would like to try." (Shouting to the Top Mast: "Ok, get'em, Mylady" Unfortunatly, Mylady isn't real good at shooting. "Damn it. But you can't be good looking and good shooting. Ok, then its time for our first new weapon: The swimming bomb. The name is strange, I'll guess there make a better one in the next years. FIRE !" "and here it goes..." KABLOOOM! "Wasn't that fun, Sir?" "Hmm. Not really. Next one." "You will like that - we call it Bluecoat Barbecue Decivce. FIRE! (and I mean it)" "Sarge. the wimp jumped out of the boat - could you please take care of him?" "It will be a pleasure...." "Sir - you really enjoyed this one, didn't you?" "Could be better. There is too less suffering." "Then you will like this one:" "We call it the"Red-o-zap-Turbo Gun". We had to train two of our most capable seaman for it. " "What does this thing do?" Sir, would you please pay some attention to those boats over there..." "FIRE !" Z-Z-Z-ZAAP "Wow - thats great. There is no greater punishment then this! You really got me - here is your money..." And now it seems I've to recallivbrate the Red-O-Zap to green and black.... Best Regards. JanSued

No problem. Normally the Destiny would'nt need any armor at all because the main cannon has a range of 6 km, while the biggest conventionel cannons (32pounder) have a range of max 2,6 km. The armor is just to not get damaged if we play around with our victims. ;-) Best Regards, Jan

I looked for some historical ships - google for HMS Thunderer or Kanonenboot Wespe ... HMS Thunderer SMS Wespe Best Regards, Jan

87d This is my first ship and one of my biggest MOC in my young career as an AFOL: The HMS Destiny It's made for the Redcoat/ Bluecoat Tournament, but I decided to put it also in here - because of all the time I spent do build it. The invention of canons shooting exploding shells instead massive bullets and of armored ships led to a sudden end of the big sail ships. Ships like the HMS Warrior were the ancestors of the massive battleships in WW1 and 2. Additionally to the Howitzer on the front deck, the HMS Destiny has 4 deckmounted canons and 6 canons under deck. And there a some more secret weapons - not to shown yet... In the back, there is a big harpoon to catch fleeing Bluecoat ships. If close enough, the boarding bridge is released and the marines can enter the unlucky ship, supported by Lewis Machine Guns For undercover missions and patrol the HMS Destiny has a smaller Boat: So, get ready to meet your destiny..

It's simple: We will have the glory to defeat the Big Blue Bastards and then, in the next turn, the bigger looser of the blue, green or however coloured other tournament. The only thing new is me in the Bloody Brilliant Redcoats Team ;-) Best Regards, Jan

No, thats fine. To bring fear into our enemies hearts, here a short preview on my next blow against the blue scum: The HMS Destiny, which brings the end of the age of sail, or to say exactly end to all this rotten and underengineered pregant wooden bluecoat and wormriodden seashells, all these sailing barrels of canon food: Every ship which name starts with a "L' " soon will be a diving attraction for tourists in the next century, but I'm afraid also then nobody will like them... CU JanSued *still working on photoshop.....

Hi! Just found the CTT on a new trailer: http://www.starwars.com/walmart/video1.html And here is some kind of a new shuttle in the Background: http://www.starwars.com/walmart/video2.html (In the Hangar scene at the end...) Best Regards, JanSued

Well done, fresh and tasty aims for our redcoats-canons ;-) Best regards, Jan

Actually, I had to rip of the mounted E-Web to stay with the 70 parts... Best Regards, JanSued

Hello! Sorry I'm somehow out of time to make a better one, but I just wanted t take part in the contest. And I'm not the photoshop specialist as you can see... Following the experiences and consequenses of the boarding of a modified YT 2000 Freighter on the first Death Star, on every Imperial vessel a special team for boarding operations was trained and equipped. The Boarding Team consists of an Engineer and 3 Special Weapons Storm Troopers. To avoid any traps inside enemy ships, the stromtroopers are equipped with a antisensor coating. The standard vehicle for these teams is a armored landspeeder which is also capable to travel small distances through space in case enemy ships are to big for the hangars. Best Regards, JanSued

Hi! Ist it possible for the losers to offer themselves as replacements in the winning teams? (Psst: Tell nobody - I don't mind the colours) Regards, JanSued

And we saw an Invisible Hand...

Dunno if its worth a new topic, but did you see the Holo of the Invisible Hand in the new Lego SW Cartoon at 4.32 (s. Quest for R2-D2 -Thread) Does it mean we have to expect one? Sh** I just saw that a) its the Malovalence and b) its already discussed. Please erase this thread, sorry. Regards, JanSued

At least it would be nice if something would happen before the whole thing is forgotten... Regards, JanSued

Yeah, it looks like I will be out of business after round 1. I feel sorry, I had lots of fun and I'm not out of ideas yet.... Regards, Jan

... a little time later, Uglu-Kalla Bratwurst and his son Blurb are walking on the bright side of the moon to find some stonesnails or dustfrogs for lunch. Surprisingly, Blurb finds the deep frozen remains of a bluecoat stuck in the moons surface. "Son, don't play with this scum. This is the third one this week. Don't touch it - it smells really not good. And you can't even eat it - when its not too cold, its too glibbberish. Just leave it there, the snails will eat it." Unfortunatelay, 100 Years later the Bratwurst Family ate every liveform on the moon and therefore left it, missing the arrival of some fresher food in 1969. Regards, JanSued

Come on, that's way too cruel. *thinking* Ok, maybe not. Regards, JanSued

First I have to say that this is a late entry, it should be postet Monday, but I'm way out of schedule. So no matter if you gimmi points or not - just enjoy (if you are a redcoat). This is the Bluecoat Barbecue: After reading the sign, the bluecoats were so exited about the party, they immeadetly went for it. Everybody. Because of their very special navigation abilities, the have to hold hands to not get lost ... The party was arranged to meet all the bluecoat needs: Snails, snakes and rats as much as you can eat, cheap wine, Export Beer, and high level cultural programm - for bluecoats As we forseen it, things went wild. At the moment the Admiral declared his deep love to a fish, the showgirls sneaked away.. Some bluecoats gave the snails guts back to mother nature, Sergeant Doofus had too much from everything and couldn't move one inch. The General and the Captain doing something - eh, eh - very special fun, while another Bluecoat - eh, errrr- holds a Wiener. At this moment, TUEV attacked to whipe out this perverted scum. While the Admiral suffocated from a French Kiss with a Hering and another soldier died from aspirating snail guts, "Whitch" performed her first Bluecoat Sushi, Boom made a Schaschlik from a guy who said something about her - normally nearly invisible - beard and used him to smash another big mouth. Finally, Trigger used her newly developed flamethrower to stop the ill-minded and totally perverted officers from their strange and unnatural behavior. And she cooked the guy with the -err, eeer - Wiener in his hands.. Redcoats, I hope you liked it. Bluecoats, I hope you hate it ;-) If Zorro wants to, we will see us in the next round.... Regards, JanSued TUEV - Chief of Operations

Stop talking, keep on shooting! I have a special surprice for the blue pest this evening... Best Regards, JanSued

Upps - did something blue missed his turn? Busy preventing his ship from sinking or chewing Redcoat underwear? Regards, JanSued

Since when do you recognize a women in front of you? Normally the Blue Ones will shot at every movement within their limited sight... This is a real good idea, seeing the rate in which we will sink your improvised water buckets... Regards, JanSued

Ecologic Patrol boat Opposite the the bluecoated scum, Redcoat HQ were investigating how we could use those millions and millions of prisoners we took. The Research and Developmant found an animal which shared our aims - to get rid of the blue pest: The big white (ok, nearly white) shark. For motivational reasons, a Bluecoat Soldier was cleaned and after his allergic reaction to soap diminished, we used him as a bait for our new prototype of an C-SAR Patrol Boat for the TUEV. Unfortunetaly, driven by his pure hate against the bluecoats, the shark snapped a little peace of the bluecoat. He got ill and to prevent further harm, we stopped this project and now working on other prototypes. Although this project didn't work out, it is good to know that even sharks don't like Bluecoats. Yeah -but who does it anyway, beside themselves... Regards, JanSued

Again it is proof, that the Blue's have a very special interest in the Male lower regions and are still in their anal phase according to Dr. Freud. And they seem to have a deeper problem with the recognition of colors.... Regards, Jan
