 | | I want ships —Corrine Pearce
|
| | | Once upon a time a long time ago, I read in this discussion group that Lego would not revive the pirate theme because there were no more fresh ideas to centre pirate ships around. Ships seem to be an incredibly popular idea/theme. Certainly there (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.pirates)

| | | | | (...) Pirates was one of Lego's most successful themes (didn't the Ultimate Lego Guide say it was THE most successful?), so I'm sure it'll be back. Best case scenario - after Adventurers has run its course. Worst case - after the Star Wars license (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.pirates)

| | | | | | (...) My own prediction last year was that if Adventurers continued (and I predicted Lost World/Dinotopia!) Pirates would not return. I agree with you that that still holds true. I'm not sure where Adventurers can go next year except some form of (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.pirates)

| | | | | (...) Don't we all, Corrine. It's too bad the the Armada subtheme didn't have more legs. A 16-wide Blue and white ship would have given the Armada a little weight, as would a nice coastal seaport, or a fort of some kind. Of the Armada sets that did (...)

| | | | | | "Stephen A. Campbell" wrote a bunch of worthy stuff you can go read in his post. To which any sensible pirate head ought be replying 'Mmmm...mmm, Pirates' I particularly agree in respect of the brown hulls. Waaaayyyy more authentic. Richard Still (...)

| | | | | | (...) Even a sensible *castle* head like me replies with "Mmmm...mmm, Pirates". TLC would have me hooked if they had pirates, the only reason I never got into them is becasue they were to expensive by the time I could earn my own money. Going (...)

| | | | | | (...) Hi Shiri, There may not be any one piece midsections for a TC ship hull, but as you know, you can always create your own. I created a page that shows the results of doing just that. Check it out: (URL) think the results are pretty nice! And it (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jun-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.dear-lego)

Mainly I'm just having a bad day, and it happens to be my birthday. I could give you more details, but (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jun-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.dear-lego)

| | | | | | (...) Hello Tom That looks very nice! I've been trying the same thing, and would suggest putting the bottom plate at the top or in the middle instead, this puts the section more in line with the rest of the hull (and makes it a bit more fragile, I (...)
