Hi all, sorry I've been away for a week or so. Now I'm back and I see that Lego has made a viking chess set soon to be put on S@H. I was inspired by the discussion in that thread about other ideas for chess sets and I found some really cool ones on brickshelf including these pirate ones;

vol4807's board
nico-strassburg's board
I would love to do something like those! *wub* And as always, which one is your favorite?
After I wrote this I found scans of the pirate comic book on peeron. It mentions the name of the monkey multple times in obvious places but the name of the parrot is hard to find.
Now you expect me to give you a link to tis page I'm refering to, well I'm not, so don't bother asking. You have to figure that out for yourself.
What is this, a history forum without a favorite Castle theme poll? This is insanity, but lucky for you oo7 came along and gave you one (I haven't forgotten anything, have I?)!
Vote on, noble knights of Eurobricks!
Pirate Lego sets are too old to still be sold in stores but you can buy them off ebay

or if you feel more comfortable, Black seas Barracuda
wtf?!? The sheilds are sticks!?! Oh well, it could be worse. I am overjoyed with the reurn of the chrome greatsword! Ugh, the floor of the first floor is green. :-|
It looks nice but the stern castle is somehow out of proportion with the rest of the ship, maybe it's too short or it's too blocky, I think something is wrong.
This is really nitpicky, but I've never liked those blue lanterns, black ones are a lot more realistic.
This is inspired by DMC, I presume? Vigs are traditionally on 8x8 stud squares, so I would call this a diorama. Overall it looks pretty good, but put in some trees, some actual wood, right now all the leaves and palms are growing out of the rocks.
D'OH! Now that I read my post again, I didn't mean Chad, I meant Libya, I problaby got them confused because they are right next to each other! :-|
The Flag of Libya is really nifty and creative!!!
I don't think this is worth it, there is a bunch of ships which you don't even know if it contains all the pieces, and there are barley enough minifigs for them, including the 3 KK1 knights and the ninja with a pirate hat. Although I do think the buildings are interesting enough, but they problably have no interier.
I like like the islanders and I would give them more reputation, make some islander mocs, that is if I had any pirate sets. :-|
But here is some islander stuff:

OOPS, I was away when this contest ended and since then I'd forgot about it. Congrats to KhoRne for being most creative and Yoda for making the most magnificent knight in the kingdom! Thanks to The Brickster, all our fellow competitors including runners up Dillion and Optimus-Convoy, and the EB voters who made this contest possible.
