Part 2 is up. Part 3 will be done by Friday . (Maybe Thursday, if I get off work early, but dont want to promise when Im unsure) ...after doing this, I begin to really appreciate the ToR hosts. Doing all those comics every day? I never realized how much you put into them! Yar!

yes, for this comic, you are part of the pirates.

How many of each color???

The checkered gunflaps really set this one apart. Overall, looks like a fun play ship.

Thanks, sorry, but the picture set is all finished for this. Now I am just editing, and adding captions. I'm certain this will not be the last redcoat/bluecoat comic/event. ...now i shall drag myself away from this awesome site long enough to do some more comics!

I have one too! (used for my profile picture, not avatar)

Now you do! (It was either that, or a rebel trooper with a chin guard) Yep, remember its all in fun, and its not over yet! There still be a couple sections to finish! To quote the old 60's Batman TV narrator, "The worst is yet to come!"

Ok. Now I definitely want the sets based on this.

Maybe true on some points, but they obviously were useful here. Some Lego parts over the years have been brittle, you just have to treat them gently. But what about the pitchfork? remember from the early castle sets? And their old shields? Those should never have been retired!

Fish rack is cool, and I just noticed the lego feet on the roofs crossbeams.

First part is up now. More when I finish editing tomorrow! ToR Holiday Special! Enjoy!

Hmmm.... thanks for your input. I will let you all know how that deal goes later. If it does, there may be some large MOCs coming. @Flare- thanks for the math. @Sirius Black (off topic) Nice avatar!

Pirates PLUNDER. Totally related.

No, it must be a Bluecoat town! that soldier is just removing a pest.

Arrrg! what? NO MORE PIRATE POSTS!? ... I'll get the plank...

So, as I have been trying some new things, and decided to make it in a comic format, instead of just a photo series, its taking a little longer then I thought. So, here is PART 1 (I will post in 2, or 3 parts, depending on time I take playing around with the photos, work schedule) The Tournament of Retribution-Holiday Special! Will the Red and Blue sides finally settle their differences? What is the blue avenger up to? Will Skaldyr be fish food? These questions and more, to be answered tomorrow! (In part 2!) Part 2! Is the Blue Avenger just after his share of pie? Did Skalldyr get eaten??? And why is Ratshot up a tree??? The plot thins in the next exciting installment!! The conclusion, and bonus special, this Friday! Same pirate-time, Same pirate-channel! PART 3! ...and there you have it. This is my first actual lego comic*, (*My old ToRII entry was just a series of pictures, no editing...) so, hope it came out all right. I will be getting some more lights installed in my "studio" but after I get the next wave of collectible miniatures, the HP sets, and Pharaoh's Quest line. (Important things first, right?) I am pretty sure everyone (who signed up in time ) made it in there in some form, as well as a couple others. I hope it made you all smile, and gave you something interesting to read. Until we meet again you crazy Pirates,silly redcoats, and loyal Bluecoats- Happy Holiday's, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!!! This one here is kind of a bonus image. I was playing around with the figs and the camera. After looking through the images, most of them came out blurry or dark, so this is the best one, even though a few people get cut off/covered in the background. I already have packed away, and un-built some of the figures, before I looked at this, and didnt have the time to dig them all out again. Next year, I'll make a better Christmas card when I have more of you guys' actual sig-figs. Also, It was an experiment with my editing. With that said, here is the bonus Christmas card: OH!- and I don't want to forget, everyone also thank our new lady, smittyfan. She let me plunder some of her pieces, as well as use some equipment used in making this. Thanks Sis!

Its both creepy, and funny at the same time. He almost looks sad. I hate it when they retire useful parts.

Greetings! and welcome aboard! (dont worry, I have 2 light-sabers under my cape.)

..and merry Christmas to you too!

Wow. This is honestly one of the best Bionical things I have ever seen.

So, I have this friend, said friend is going to be going to college, and has a girlfriend. So, he has decided he is done with his lego. This is actually a good thing, because he wants to sell it to me. He was going to sell the lot for $100, but his mom wont let him sell it for "less then $500". It is approximately 70 pounds, mostly classic star wars sets. I will be offering to buy sections at a time from them, since obviously I dont have $500 on me. It is also all unsorted, with no boxes or instructions. How much would be reasonable for a pound or two of unsorted bricks? Comments or ideas?

Sign-up closed! At the time of this post, I am digging through several lego bins trying to find a couple more heads torsos etc. I dont know If I will get everyone, but so far I have like 16 figures put together, and the scenery is all ready. By the time I get all the photos done(and re-sized,and uploaded) and script finished,(had to see who all was in it first) It may be tomorrow after work when I do the uploading to this site. (expect within 24 to 48hrs-ish) also, I've messaged Joey through facebook, and dont know where the Commodore is... and Armendez seems inactive as well. Since they were each memorable and important players in the last tournament, I will be including them in a part of this. (Im pretty sure they would all have signed up if they were active here). (also, I still have their figs built). PS. I am glad only Brig Brick wears that collar, and, I must order more yellow/gold epaulets next bricklink order. EDIT- Everyone who signed up will be depicted in some form here. I have found a figure for everyone.(even if its not an exact sigfig)

Perhaps they are gambling over who gets to ask the mermaid out.
