The MISB 6274 will go much higher.
Yeah I figured it will probably double the current price, just wondering
what sort of price masts go for.

While crutch-o-matic is in the market, it will be inflated.
They must be building an armada.

   "Crutch-o-Matic?" I'm confused.  Who the h-e-double-hockey-
   sticks (as if I need to give more clues as to my origin) is
   the Crutch-o-Matic?  But yeah, the prices are way inflated--
   even more inflated than when Frank was building his armada!
   I've stayed out of ship buying since last summer.

The 6274 with substituted sails may be a better bet.
I have just about the whole set minus the masts, so I will keep an eye on
this set just in case.  BTW it looks like it has some colour substitutions
that it doesn't mention.

The userid: overlord-my-own-beach (or something similar) auctioned a custom
6274 with an extra centre section and an extra mast recently, it made a nice
looking boat. Search on 'lego 6274' in completed auctions on US ebay.

   Look also at current auctions--one 6274 seller can't spell
   "Caribbean", and couldn't handle "Clipper" so calls it "Cruiser."
   It might have less bid traffic...

On US ebay, 12 soldiers (10 blue, 2 red incl. a coupla officers) went
US$80 !
Cool, maybe I can offset the mast by selling some extra pirates.

Unless they are kitted out in soldiers uniforms, expect less for pirates.

   No way in Hades heck am I gonna give up any of my soldiers!

Best bet is to snag a Flybo and try and add some bits.

   Flybo?

(...) It's actually crunch-o-matic, I was being very silly. (...) Could this be one of those non-US names like the 6285 Dark Shark. Maybe they should have called it Calypso Cruiser. (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
