Did the name for the female pirate minifig Pirate Wench come from Lego, or is that a fan name for it? (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Arrr, we be mighty proud o' ye, matey! We have a big barrel at work for toy donations (Toys for Tots, I think). And every year it sits a bit forlornly until I dump in an armload of sets. The barrel fills up after that. Your message was a good (...) (23 years ago, 14-Dec-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Well, I was too late to do a LEGO Good Deed, so I had to settle for a Pirate Good Deed. Every year our Church puts "Christmas Angels" on the tree, identifying a toy a needy child desires. Last year I managed to snag one asking for a LEGO set. This (...) (23 years ago, 14-Dec-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I agree with Ben. I hate the large moulds (SPUD/BURP/POOP pieces), but I think what the roof does far outweighs its limited uses in MOCs. (...) This is the main thing - it keeps the cost down, and the way it lets the hut open out is a (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.harrypotter)

Hello, Maybe a misunderstanding in the rules for the ISCC causes less entries. There is the sentence: "Do not send in contributions that are already known, as we want original works." It only means, that the entries need to were unknown or were not (...)

Hello Reinhard, (...) I think that in case of HP sets we're paying mostly for Hardy Porter logo, characters, etc. (vide Star Wars). With regular bricks or without it the set must be expensive... (...) but I just don't like the idea. (...) Fluffy is (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) What is wrong with the plastic sheet roof has everything to do with the tactile feel of the brick. These plastic sheets should never replace bricks when its possible to do the same thing with some other kind of brick form, even if they have to (...)

If the set had regular sloped pieces instead, I bet the price would have been twice at high (that would have been a bad set then). If the set had (...)

In my opinion much better than the Forbidden Corridor. The corridor is just nice (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) They would be from Hagrid's Hut (a set I don't own) because I have the Forbidden Corridor, where the staircase comes from. The shackles are keys, aren't they? That's very clever :) Adrian (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.pirates)
