Well, it must be my bad english I guess. Lucky you changed it right. I will use LEGO pirate sets instead now in future .

Mine pirate sets are: 6235 6257 6260 (just ordered it ) 6270, combined with set 1788 & 6285 (got it as birthday present when I was a child) 6251 6245 6265 6274 with 2 extra canons 6276 (with a extra prison) 6255 (dutch version) Wishlist is maybe: All small sets & 6285 I had already had in 1989, some of them I sold later. The other 3 big sets I bought last year.

Didn't know in which topic I should place it. Look what I found. Some facts I found: ca. 780.000 pieces weight 870 kg ca. 1200 hours for building form januari till juni 2008 TV-images can be viewed from monday [link=http://www.sat1.de/]Sat.1[/link] Opening-[link=http://www.hafencity.com/index.php?set_language=de&cccpage=service_listeneintrag&show=news&item=130]news in german/english[/link] More info: [link=http://www.internationales-maritimes-museum.de/]Museum[/link] Fotoreportage from Klaas & René for [link=http://www.malzkornfoto.de/archive.php?keywords=qm2]Persmap[/link] Several pic's form digicam on [link=http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=325103]Brickshelf[/link] The big buildinginstruction [link=http://www.foto-hamburg.com/queen-mary.jpg]Queen Mary 2[/link] Het Bricktivity Team Klaas H.

I just bought 6260, the missing set. When I'm right, I should have all first piratesets which were for sale in 1990. The window for my attic will be placed tomorrow and properly all piratesets will be in place next week. I'm very excited ........

Indeed a very nice fleet of buses. When I saw the station, I remember I build one in green. Unfornatualy, I don't have a pic of my longer bus. As soon as I build my layout up and find the longer bus, I place a pic here.

I really liked your idea. I even wanted to build one myself, but how come it will costs €800,-?

Already done. I confess, I stole the desgin form someelse. But better good stolen, then bad designed by yourself ;) . And for the people who don't know how a Fiat Panda looks like. My 2d hobby:

Why didn't you locked that room or said it's forbidden for the kids to come there?

This is really impressive to look at. Too bad there aren't no trains, but I'm a trainfan.

Lucky today. I just bought a 7730 for a nice price, 1 window missing and motor broken. Those things can be fixed .

I know those 12v motors aren't for sale anymore. That's why I learned myself to fix 12v motors. Tracks can be cheap, if you're lucky. Signs, remote controlled points, etc are expensive. But this collection is is form 4 years collecting. My new layout will be a mix of 12v, 9v and monorail. Starwars will be present also, cause I like that too much .

That ship looks really good. Exspecially, you have made some doors at back of ship. And I really never understood why that ship had 2 canons, instead of 4. How have you attack a pirateship which has 2times more canons.

Here can you see how my last layout was: And here you can see how my 2d layout was, unfornaturly It has to be broken down : Not to worry, after my attic is ready (stil waiting for a roofwindow) it will be better and niccer then ever: These are the first layout design I made. It can bechanged when I start to build it all up. When something changes, i will place new pictures.

I have these sets for a little year now. And I like to keep it clean ;) . When my attic is ready, I want to complete all first piratesets. When I was a child I played a lot with pirate lego. Anyone know the comic 'Redbeard'?

Not really, flesh color ;) .And yes, It's a 1788. I found it in a bulklot .

Just wondering if there are more people who collect battle droids? At this point I guess, I whould have around 200 of them. Let me share you, some pic's a year ago. And here as they are right now:

I just wanted to show you all, my collection of the first piratesets of lego. It ain't complete, cause I'm still waiting for a window for my attic ........ And I rebuild the fort a little bit, so I can hold more prisoners . Ohw, take good look at one soldiers.......

And what about set 10179?

When I can buy this one :D . Only one problem, where to put this set...................

Long time that I visit this site again. Lucky my login still worked :P . I made promotion at my work, got a very nice girl and my both cars still working :D . Anyway. I'm busy to change my attic, which is my lego room. Here you can see the begin of the changes: (It isn't public yet) And the build up is started, which can be viewed here:

I like the harbor set. I think I buy that one *wub* .

I forgot that USA people write it in another way. Ok, now the correct way:

I'm still waiting for my 25.000 euro's you are going to send me, before I send it to you Hobbes ;-) .

Sets like 1966, I had one. I've sold it, cause the room is small in my layout. Besides I've all the sets of 12v between 1980-1991, otherwise it would be hard not to keep them :P . Yes, I'm builder 2 ;) . For Hobbes: have you seen my layout :D ?

Today I've helped mine friend to build up his layout of his 12v trains. We are far form finished, but we're getting there. We've put a lot of energy to rebuild all his sets till 100% complete. The result till sofar: Me friend also likes to buy MISB 12v sets. And the fun part is, I have to build them. So one 7818 MISB less in this world.
