Now that is the definition of ironic. Back to your original MOC, where did you get the piece used for the bowling ball? There was a very similar Pirate MOC done recently that resembles this alot. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=55419

I'm pretty sure you can only open or close your own thread, not fully moderate it.

Here is a good place to start. Members Guidelines Not everything will be listed there, but those are the main guidelines we ask all members to follow, you also should have read them before joining as well. Common sense is also expected, posting twice in a row only has one purpose, bumping your own thread, as Admiral Croissant said, next time please edit your post if no one has posted since you.

Thanks everyone, I went to the new pirates movie, got some cash for Lego's, and spent time with family. I appreciate the wishes. nice

This is impressive, I don't know how I overlooked this thread in the past. I see you are taking your time and keeping it spot on with the original. I'm sure bricklink is happy you've arrived. I can't wait to see this done and I can guarantee you a frontpage spot on Classic-Pirates.com when it's completed.

That is awesome, your choice of colors works perfectly. Is the entire thing solid bricks? Or is it hollow inside?

All of the pictures are of an appropriate size except the first one, and it's not too much over the limit. Thank you for adjusting those for us.

That's awesome, it's what an AFOL's basement would look like 20 years ago.

Actually it's just noon where I live, so everyone has about 12 more hours.

Thanks everyone, we went out last night and had plenty of Rum, maybe too much actually. I've already picked up a few more PotC sets and I only need 3 more to have them all. If I can shake this hangover, we are going to the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie in a few hours. @Zorbas, I think if I used that I would be told to resize my images by the regulators Thanks for the wishes everyone.

The posters come inside the PotC sets, otherwise there is no other poster promotion going on.

I'm happy to hear your review, I'm going to see it tomorrow and I'm damn excited, even after reading some poor reviews.

I don't know this for a fact, but the manager at my Toys R Us said these will very likely be available for regular purchase from Toys R Us soon. They are already in the system as $2.99 and he said the PotC promo is done on May 24th and usually they become available shortly after. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11492287#soldInStore

I did the same. I got 4195 QAR on rain check for $105. It was marked up as usual with Toys R Us for $131.99, but after 20% off it was only $105 and then I bought in store the 4182 Cannibal Escape, this was also marked up to $32.99, so %20 off plus a 5 dollar coupon brought this down to $21.39. I'm actually thinking about going back and buying the sets I'm missing, especially with that $10 coupon staring at me.

I think this looks great, the sails especially, the material just looks great. I do have to ask you to please resize your images to a maximum of 800x600. You can returner change the setting on your camera when you take the pictures or use a number of free services to resize them. The paint program that comes with Windows is a good option our I also like www.picresize.com Thank you

Please elaborate on this, are you saying your LEGO set came with the metallic shiny gold???

Actually we have heard, and there will be a second wave. Indeed, with a global community, it's important to remember that the world does not revolve around the place you are from.

The only face I heave with chipped paint is a classic yellow smile face and it's about 20 years old and got played with quite a but. I'd call LEGO, they'll likely get you a new one.

I like the review but at the same time, I don't like it, because it's making me want to change my mind about NOT getting any of the Harry Potter sets.

No it's not quite that simple, once you are accepted into the academy you'll read more. You have to actually do the 9 reviews (new reviews, not existing ones) inside the Reviewers Academy (hidden forum) and the teachers grade you (give advice, require changes, etc.)

You need to join the reviews academy. Right here. Then the instructors (gold tags) help you through 3 set reviews. Once you have 3 reviews that pass the Reviewers Academy standards you receive the bronze tag. At this point if you wish to continue with the program you can complete 3 more reviews for your silver tag. Then if you are truly dedicated you can do 3 more reviews adn once those have been passed by the teachers you receive the gold tag and become a teacher yourself.

I watched the Mill Village Raid build and it was really interesting. It's like watching a review happen in under 2 minutes. Very cool.

I'm sure that also add's to the cost, but not too much.

Please give us the ebay link when it's posted in case a straggler falls into a barrel of cash and wants to buy it.

These both sound lovely I'm going to need a trophy and a donut.
