Hi Col, i do have a bunch of the battle droid minifigs from two 7184 sets. Are these where you are looking for? Maybe we can trade? Let me know what you think! Bye (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.pirates)
 
  Islanders still wanted?
 
Hiya I was on a work trip to Turin, Italy earlier this week and I went in a toyshop that had some Islanders sets from 1994-96 on the shelves. I bought three : a 6244, a 6246, and a 6256. What I would like to know is, are these sets still in demand? (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.pirates)

(...) Wise guy, hunh? I'll moitalize ya! (Point, click, thunk!) Bruce Hmmmm, what does this have to do with pirates? Ah, I know - I give my pirates the odd crossbow. Adds to that proper motley crew look. (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) [emphasis mine] I'd ben meaning to chime in on this, but you seem to have covered what I would have, so I'll just say this: Crossbow - The *original* point-and-click interface. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. :-P Franklin (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Pics of the Wraith
 
(...) I asked Capt R. about that. He said "With all that canvas she can outrun anything in the Imperial fleet, so the color doesn't matter a wit to me, boyo. Besides, if it strikes fear into the hearts of me foes I'm all for it." Then he cut me. (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Long barrelled, bayonet equipped muskets
 
(...) IIRC, there were still laws in place in England in Elizabethan times that all the peasants had to spend a certain number of hours a week at longbow practice, and there were practice grounds in the cities, but as you say people got lazy and the (...)

  Re: Long barrelled, bayonet equipped muskets
 
(...) Dare I say it - this isn't accurate. :-) Crossbows are extremely accurate and powerful weapons, but more importantly they are easier to be accurate with (point it at what you want to hit and shoot). Longbows are accurate, too, but a lot (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au, lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Long barrelled, bayonet equipped muskets
 
(...) Crossbows were easy to use - there was a lot less training required. Years less, to be specific.
