Vote for the Tournament BLUECOAT MVP
Commodore Hornbricker replied to Commodore Hornbricker's topic in Pirate MOCs
Captain Green Hair (aka Captain Blue Hair) #1 Before Anchors were taken into use in the Bluecoat navy, they had to be stress tested. Normally this means they hoist the new Anchor to a height and then drop it on a hard object like a cannon barrel. If the Anchor didn't show cracks or stress, it was approved by the Master. Today me and Admiral Bejaune decided to have a little fun and stress test our new Anchor on a fresly captured Redcoat. Look at the Redcoats scared face as the Anchor hangs above his head: The entire Anchor testing rig: The ''Executioner'', waiting for a command to drop the anchor: Needless to say that the Anchor was approved and that this redcoat is no longer in the service. #2 Sometimes the Reds and Blues were at peace, but the leaders always found ways to challenge each other. On a beautiful summer morning me and the Commodere met out on a deserted road to do some racing. It was the perfect opportunity to test my new 125CC scooter... That big flag might be a bit of a slowdown for him i thought, well i was off to a quick start... But the the Commodore started to use the flag as a sail, silly commodere... He missed the dead Redcoat lying on the road and tripped over it.. He left a trail of blood behind, as the horse dragged him along... I decided to leave him there and drove off to the beach.. Later that day i felt some remorse and i decided that Captain Stash and his sniper rifle should go in to finish the job.. 6 months later... Deja vu..?? #3 Since we are a new faction, we needed to come up with a new way of torturing and killing our enemies, so i came up with: Fish-Slapping! It is basically female canine-slapping your enemy with some fresh sea fruit until blood pores out there every hole. So in order to do this one needs a basket of sea fruit: Some captured Blue coats, don't you think they look like a bunch of hicks and their leaders just some whiny pansies?: Next up the Green coats pick up a piece of sea fruit, and let the games begin! A close up action shot, boy that crab's claw in his face must hurt: And seen from the eyes of the Blue coats, you can already see the blood starting to come out: So some of you might wonder why i have such a small fish, compared to admiral B whom is slapping his Blue coat with an enormous Octopus... Well i like things to last, especially when i torture my enemy. Dr. Green Coat #1 Just a little story about having some fun behind enemy lines. I also had you use some pixelation on the wench to keep things clean. #2 #3 Green Coats! "Green Thunder" After the Blue Coats easy victory over the Red Coats they eventually fell into Civil War. Thus the Green Coats were born. Admiral Béjaune #1 Somewhere in the middle of the ocean, Admiral Béjaune has sank a British ship with his newly built ship Sang Royale. A few Redcoats cling to the debris. What to do with them? A perfect time for the Admiral to use his newly taught punishment. Keelhauling! There is just so much one can learn from the Dutch. The art of Keelhauling: dragging a man under the boat along the keel and pulling him up on the stern. The barnicals on the hull tear and cut the mans flesh. On the Cathead you limey bastard! Better hold your breath! Now jump! Or I put a grapeshot in your head! ..... A few minutes pass as the Redcoat is pulled under the ship..... Pull him up... lets see if he has gotten any more red! Ah. I didn't know a man could could bleed so much.. Looks like this one didn't make it. What are you waiting for.. clean this blood up... Can't have this mess on my new decks! A few repeats of what happened above and the Admiral was out of Redcoat prisoners. #2 A couple of Redcoats have heard the rumors about Catherine the Great of Russia and her horses and decided they want to try it. The rumors are that she would have one of her male stud horses hoisted up and then lowered onto her... and she would, well you know..... Screw her horse. Somewhere on a large Island in the Caribbean, away from everyone. Two perverted, seriously disturbed Redcoats have decided to give the rumor a try. Im ready.. Start to lower him down! Ok, Im doing it! Its not easy lowering a horse by yourself! Poor horse was being lowered slowly. All he could think about was that mare that was in season. ...A few moments later. A patrolling Bluecoat hears the commotion and moves in closer to see what the hell was going on. .....WTF.... Sick bastards... Im going to put an end to this madness. ...Boom! The Bluecoat shoots the line holding the horse up.... Splat! Thats the end of that disturbed Redcoat. Admiral Green Buns (aka Ynykle) #1 #2 REVENGE! My good friends General Armendariz and Captain Blackmoor came visiting me today, so I had to do something special. I always have a lot of Redcoats in the cargo hold so I decided to do something with them. #3 Green Thunder again! Although there are not so many Greencoats, the few that exist are very smart. They have made a time machine very recently and who can we use as testdummies better than prisoners! Well, it's not so bad, I mean, who doesn't want to travel in time? It's a very unique experience So here they go. I also give them some stuff they can take with them on their journey. We send the first prisoner to the Jurassic period. And as the first man Bluecoat ever he faces a dinosaur! And we also gave some meat with the prisoner so he could feed the dinosaurs. The second one finds himself back in the Middle Ages! The time they burnt a lot of misterious people. The people thought they were witches and magicians. We gave the third one also some nice clothes and sent him to the wild west, so to the future! We didn't have to give the last one special clothes, instead, we took something from him. Than we hanged him on a wooden thing and send him just a few miles away, but in the same time period as we were. And after this we decided to destroy the machine again because it would be dangerous in the wrong hands. But we can easily build another one if we want to. It was a succes and gave us some very funny moments. Thanks prisoners, Thanks time machine! -
Hopefully you were entertained by the players creativity. Here is your chance to pick the one player from the Redcoat side who you thought was the most entertaining. Just remember the Tournament of Retribution wasn't a building contest. It was a contest to poke fun at/insult/humilate and violate the other side. The MVP from both sides gets a Soldier's Fort set! You get one vote (for each side) so pick who you think represented their side the best! Hopefully I got all the posts and the players...let me know if I missed any! Stash2Sixx #1 During the Hundred-Thousandth Battle between Bluecoats and Redcoats, Captain Stash decided it was time to unload the Bluecoats newest weapon, The Lil' Buddy. The Lil' Buddy was a great success, except no one expected the battle to rage on for so long. The Bluecoats actually ran out of ammo for their new weapon. Being a great problem solver, he came up with an amazing idea! Due to the lack of ammo for the Lil' Buddy and an overabundance of Redcoat prisoners, Captain Stash once again saved the day! #2 Ever wonder what a Redcoat Nightmare looks like? I bet it looks like this... General Armendariz #1 As I was saying I did manage to escape and kill ALL of the guards and escape. So while I was leaving I felt a sudden urge to pee and I came across the place were the redcoats sleep. I saw that some idiot left his window open so... I crawled in and...... pissed on him I peed on every redcoat in that room including Joey Lock for capturing me I called some of my friends to enjoy the moment And I left back to my base. #2 The redcoats were sent on a short mission lead by Joey Lock and Commodore Hornbricker trying to capture General Armendariz. He was Captain of a special ops barrel team the poor redcoats were outwit by GA's Sneaky ways... Without the Reds noticing, there are really Bluecoats standing all around them. On theright, General Armendariz, and Captain Blue hair. The laft, Cap'n Blackmoor and Captain Zuloo There we were, waiting... for a signal then ATACK! It was TOO easy And then it was over anly four Red survivors. All others dead Since we let these survivors live. we had to do something...Humiliatng So me and Captain Blue Hair took their pants! And that was it! Oh I just had to do this #3 What I like to do on a lazy day on my tower as I watch my Bluecoats forcing captured redcoats in to labor i real fun... Shooting them like dears. "Ah, heres a good red." BANG! BANG! This is the life! Frontbeast #1 a happy evening at blu coats camp #2 Hey, whats this. hmmm maybe we should take a brake in our hunt for blue coats Time to chow men SUPRISE!!! HE HE!!!!!!!!! #3 martinsuper #1 Moral of the story is, don't make fun of people who are old enough to be your father during a tournament of retribution. #2

Vote for the Tournament REDCOAT MVP
Commodore Hornbricker replied to Commodore Hornbricker's topic in Pirate MOCs
Commodore Hornbricker #1 #2 #3 Lego_Warlord_8 #1 A bunch of shipwrecked Redcoats, who have really gone native , fond some recently shipwrecked blue coats. The Redcoats follow a sacred ritual called Pooja! Wherein, the victim has a choice, death by Pooja, or Pooja. Pooja simply causes temporary pain, while death by pooja kills the victim. In case you didn't know, Pooja and death by pooja is the act of shoving a sharp stick or rod up a person's behind. At least that is what the natives call it. This, BTW, was inspired by the 'death by pooja' joke. Don't look it up, it's quite crud. Poor fellow, he shouldn't have chosen death by pooja... Hound Knight #1 DEADLIEST WARRIOR Francis Marion vs Capitan Blackmoor... Who... Is... DEADLIEST? The courageous guerrilla leader of the American Revolution faces off with Napoleon's notorious shipyard pirate in a battle of epic proportions. Here we see the Deadliest Warrior team gathering test data that the computer whiz will input into the computer, which will run 1000 battles and decide who is the Deadliest Warrior! "Right now, I gotta give it to the Swamp Fox." ^ The slow-motion replay shows Marion's attack in all it's gory detail. nintha #1 The over view, the Raging Redcoats Regiment snuck into a blue coat hut at night and switched all the cloaths with dresses. Redcoat view, Col. Nintha is hiding behind bushes to see the blue coat in the dress. #2 Ok so this is an overview of the Raging Redcoats Regiment's tank.(sorry its blurry) So here is a view of the drunk blue coat leader runing away with his male prostitute and a blue coat being ran over by the tank. So here are the Redcoats who man the tank.(I only had one official redcoat so I had to make some with sharpies. hope they look ok) Tinn-man A redcoat soldier ties a bluecoat to a ball and chain, and drops him into the water. Of course, that's not nearly violent enough, so the redcoat adds a box of angry redcoat snakes to attack the bluecoat. If that isn't painful, I don't know what is Talon Karrde Drunkenness had increasingly become a problem in the Bluecoat ranks. Who can blame them with all the victories the Glorious Redcoats have been winning of late? So, the fiendishly clever undercover redcoats division have decided to take advantage of this situation... That's all of them for the Redcoats! -
Vote for the Tournament REDCOAT MVP
Commodore Hornbricker replied to Commodore Hornbricker's topic in Pirate MOCs
Skipper 24 #1 #2 #3 "a Cameo Post by Jansued": Sir Wellington #1 #2 Napoleon meeting his early death. Lt. Col. Thok #1 Four score and seventeen years ago, a barrage of buffoonish bluecoats (lead by a certain Captain with flamboyantly coloured hair) were blundering along the coast of Bluecoatia when they saw a group of Redcoatistan ships on the horizon. Being the sick bluecoats they are, they mooned the ships. Thus, we redcoats had to go and give them a damn good whacking, which we did with gusto. Following the battle, many prisoners were still left (cowards, naturally), including said Captain, so a conference was held between the Commodore, the Colonel and the Admiral. Commodore: What shall we do with the scum? Admiral: Let's burn their uniforms! Commodore: Let's hang them! Admiral: Let's get the heavy cavalry to pull them to bits! Commodore: Let's Shave their Captain! What do you think, Thok? Thok: Here's my idea... Let's do all of the above! A bluecoat torn to pieces. "I told you that you were going too fast!" Bluecoat: Harder! Harder! Redcoat: Perv... "This is more fun than roasting marshmallows!" "And thus you see, my good Captain No Hair, Redcoats always triumph." "MERDE!! Joey Lock #1 Captains Log 73: We encountered a Shipwreck and found a suspicious barrel. We have left to intercept. #2 Martin and his Girlfriend are having a Picnic. Moral of the story is, don't act wise and mature to people who are younger and do not under estimate them during the tournament of retribution. Or the above will happen. And you really don’t want to end up like that “thing” in the barrel do you? #3 #4 One day Blackmoor was showering in his Fort. Lt.Colonel Thok was commanding a small patrol and they came across a old tunnel in the mountain. They were tired and needed some rest so they decided to enter the tunnel. Some men slept, others ate, athough some did...Buisness. However, When Blackmoor constructed the Fort upon a Old abandoned Fort, his builders didn't sort out the plumbing to well. Blackmoor was covered in "buisness". Then he realised that he was using a Redcoat towel. And thats when he realised that the abandoned fort that his Fortress was built on was originally a Redcoat fort. -
Hopefully you were entertained by the players creativity. Here is your chance to pick the one player from the Redcoat side who you thought was the most entertaining.

You get one vote (for each side) so pick who you think represented their side the best! Hopefully I got all the posts and the players...let me know if I missed any! Paul cantu #1 A Redcoat officer arrives in a small port bringing important news to the local population. Ladies and gentlemen, gather round! As part of the governor's new Make Useless Captured Blucoats Useful Act, or as you probably know it the UCBUA, the Redcoat army has discovered a new technology using captured bluecoats. The new technology is quite simple to use. First harness a captured bluecoat to your carriage or wagon. Next simply hold a Redcoat flag or any other Redcoat paraphernalia. As you know the bluecoats are so scared of any Redcoat item they run the opposite direction. By using the bluecoats naturally born with retreating ability, your wagons get pulled every time. Oh, I think I forgot to mention the reverse feature. If you put the flag on a pole and extend it over the bluecoats then they pull the wagon backwards. And if you want to park the wagon or stop it, then hold a flag in front of them and another flag behind them. As an extra precaution be sure to keep a whip handy in case the bluecoats start to stray off the road. Watch as I demonstrate. Would a volunteer like to try the new technology? You in the green hat why don't you give it a try? It seems like the local population is enjoying the new technology. #2 THE FALL OF THE BLUECOATS! At Fort Aspiration a redcoat officer is about to hang a stankin bluecoat. After receiving instructions from Paul Cantu the redcoat officer is ready to go. edit: I After easily sneaking into bluecoat HQ the redcoat officer quickly receives a mission from Captain Green Hair. The redcoat officer is assigned to paint a portrait of General Armendariz. General Armendariz recently peed on numerous redcoat soldiers so the bluecoat army has decided to reward him with a new uniform and a portrait. The portrait will be on display to the public and then moved to the governor's mansion. A day later the ceremony has begun! Meanwhile.... Captain Green Hair unvails the painting... An argument breaks out among the bluecoat leaders. Captain Green Hair:" General Armendariz you no longer can be a general, the troops won't take you seriously!" General Armendariz: " All the good artists were supposed to have arrived on your latest ship but you had to drop that giant anchor and now we can't dig it out of the sand so the ship can't come!" Stash: " Why don't I take over for both of you guys until the tension goes down." Captai Green Hair: " Yeah that's a great idea. Half of our army is already being used to cut square ammo for that cannon of yours!" General Armendariz: "Yeah and you giant pirate friend destroyed two of our most prosperous cities!" The redcoats recieve the signal and attack! After picking up the pieces of the former bluecoat leaders the redcoat officer transports them to Enchanted Island. Later #3 After the fall of the bluecoats there were bluecoat flags and uniforms everywhere. The towns people were overwhelmed by all of the ugly flags and uniforms so they had to come up with innovative ways of ridding themselves of the bluecoat flags. The bluecoat flag serves as a wonderful tool for house training a puppy. The smaller flags also serve as great toliet paper. Why get your floors dirty when you can simply wipe your feet off on a bluecoat flag? One of the easiest ways to warm your house in the winter is to simply burn the bluecoat flags and uniforms. Jansued #1 Ambush! After we all hade to notice, that the bluecoats love to sneak into bedrooms instead of fighting like a man, it is time to give them a lesson. The Bluecoats tried in several attempts to get hold of the street to the harbor, but our brave Redcoats defended it. Then they Blue's took their finest engineers and scientiest and developed a new weapon - the half automatic Nordenfelt machine gun. But Redcoat HQ knew that they would be coming and send their brandnew special unit: TUEV (Team for unnecessary and extrem violence) and ordered them to ambush the ambush in the most brutal way. They prepared a street barrier and waited.... Lead by General Armor Homophil Hornblower (phhht...), the squad tumbled down the street -slightly intoxicated and sexual frustrated... TUEV waited above their heads for the perfect moment .... and then, suddenly to start the party. Yelling "We are red, we are white we are Lego dynamite!" throwing all kind of explosives into the canyon: Almost the whole squad was wiped out immeadetly as the explosives detonated and send a red wet rain of body parts all over the scenery. General Hornblower, brave as usual, coordinated the attack from the behind (phhht...) and cut of extremities of fleeing soldiers to keep up the morale. To mop up, the TUEV used some real sophisticated weapons: Finally, General Hornblower was stabbed from the back (phhht...) and another guy was literally stumped into the ground. The only survivor, Sergeant Doofus B. Hind, didn't get the whole picture and proceeded to fight the fake soldiers - where he encountered something called booby trap which ended his life and released him from the long and ugly nights in General Hornblowers private rooms. So, why did the Bluecoats step into this trap? Beside their obvious stupidity, the TUEV -members were unvisible for them - just because... .. they are females! Mrs. Eastwick, Callsign "Whitch" , shown here with her jetpack. Specialist for silent kills, Mrs. Trixie Lewis, Callsign "Trigger", Grandma of Mr. Isaac Newton Lewis and Inventor of some later family owned weapon creations, Ms. Annastasia Bolika, Callsign "Boom", Specialist for explosives and pure physical force. The survival rate of people teasing her because of her little beard is under 2%, so beware.. #2 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... #3 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.. #4 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..."
-
Great job. The design it very cool, especially for a shorter ship. It's so small but packed with detail. I really like this ship and its possibly one of the very best small ship designs I have seen.

Pillage the Village II: The Calm After the Storm
Commodore Hornbricker replied to SlyOwl's topic in Pirate MOCs
Ha...Funny twist. Blackmoor can finally have that tea party he has always wanted to host and I can help Blue Hair fix that infernal scooter of his. Nice job guys. This should be lots of fun! Maybe Joey Lock and Martin Super can finally get married, settle down and start a family -
Great job on the prizes! That ought to get a lot of people motivated to put their bricks to work.
-
As soon as the judges vote I can create two topics. One for members to vote on a Redcoat MVP and one for them to vote on the Bluecoat MVP. I have the two Soldier's Forts that will serve as the prizes so I think we'll let people vote for a week then the winner can PM their address to me and I'll put them in the mail. Any thoughts on how that voting should work? Should it be points based like other contest votes have been or just one vote per person in each topic?

Cleaning and straightening out your sails

I have had a lot of luck putting them in the dishwasher. -
Excellent Job. Thanks for filling in Joey. Is this match ready for the judges or do the Blues have one more?
-
If you owned every 2009 set and could have one more...?
Commodore Hornbricker replied to PittSOB's topic in LEGO Pirates
Well I am fortunate enough to own several copies of each set but I'd probably buy another Soldier's Fort followed by another Bounty followed by a pirates hideout...In fact since Toy's R US is having a Buy 2 get a third free sale right now on Lego pirates and I have to buy two Soldier's Forts sets for the winners of the tournament I am going to do that today and will be picking up one free for myself! I love it when things work out all cool like that. -
Pillage the Village II: Coming soon...
Commodore Hornbricker replied to SlyOwl's topic in Pirate MOCs
I can't wait to see the details! Sounds like more good pirate fun. I'll have to dust off the troops and the bricks and see what I can do to compete in this legendary challenge. Last year's entries were amazing and more than a little intimidating but nothing ventured nothing gained. -
I disagree. A company doesn't have to make more and more money or grow their market share bigger and bigger at all cost to be successful and sustainable. What they need is a good brand name and image and a quality product. If the Lego business model is going to revolve around only or mostly licenses then they are making their product subservient to the licensed theme...in other words if all that matters is the license then at some point Lego won't matter at all. At some point some other company will pay more for a license and Lego is left with nothing because they didn't make anything themselves to begin with they just copied movies and anyone could do that and someone will do it cheaper at somepoint and thus pay more for the licenses. Also there were plenty of licensed toys when I was a kid and I am older than most here. I had all those toys as well as my Lego. I think in the long run it will weaken the brand because people won't identify with Lego they'll just identify with the movie/game. Time will tell.
-
Great idea. The MOC is a little tightly packed to see everything going on but it is a great idea and it is done very well especially considering how much you were able to put into the smaller space. The minifigure is of course exceptional as always.
-
This is just beautiful. I would like to live there! You are really good at building elevation changes into your ports. It brings so much realism into the overall design. The details are just fantastic. The way you have staged the figures is excellent. Lots of activity and various mini-scenes going on. It looks just right. This is one I will come back to again and again for inspiration. You are a Pirate MOC Expert.
-
It really looks as if the new Lego business model of licensed themes has become the dominate force in how Lego intends to procude sets going forward. Why have your own identity and imagination when you can buy someone elses. It is a shame. I thought licensing was fine when it augmented the main business of original Lego themes. Now it has taken over and it degrades the reputation of the product. It think they are being penny wise and pound foolish with this approach. No one will remember Lego for Lego they'll just remember their Starwars toys and their Indiana Jones toys. I had Starwars action figures and GI Joes as a kid but honestly I don't know who made them nor do I care. It kind of makes me sad to see this continue to grow and force out the traditional Lego themes. The kids of today won't feel the same way about Lego when they have kids. They'll be buying movie/video game toys for their kids because that's what they'll remember and when Lego doesn't get a licenses they'll be in real bad shape. In the end all Lego really has is their brand name and their reputation for quality and this approach does nothing to bolster either. Make a quick buck and move on...Way to go Lego...that's smart thinking. Ignore the formula for decades of success. Let's see how that works out for them in the long run.

'Behind The Helm' - Episode #8 - SPECIAL EDITION
Commodore Hornbricker replied to Captain Zuloo's topic in LEGO Pirates
Arrr! This indeed be a fine interview matey. -
Cool. A very interesting and unique design. She definately looks piratical to my eye. Do the decks come off to access the interior at all?
-
She is beautiful. I like the clean, simplicity of her design with just the right amount of details. I can't wait to see the port and ship together with lots of pictures.
-
Looking fantastic, as always, I can't wait to see more pictures!
-
Nice job. Those are a bunch of great designs! I can't wait to see what comes next.

PETITION to keep the Pirates theme beyond 2010
Commodore Hornbricker replied to Zorro's topic in LEGO Pirates
Signed! But not with any real hope of it making a difference.
