Okay, to make this Lego oriented, I took a gray/stone parrot/falcon and painted the tail red to resemble an African Grey Parrot. I decided my real African Grey (Merlin - I wanted Odin but my son broke the naming tie in favor of his mother) wasn't (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I agree that the Pirate series had some real shining examples of what TLC can do, but my personal favs are two and in-seperable: 6277 Imperial Trading Post and 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner. Man I could go on ALL DAY about why they are great sets, (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.pirates)
