Wahooo!!! I finally got my lego 10040 Black Sea Baracuda (re-release). I have been wishing to be able to get the original set (6285) back in 1989, but I was not able to afford it back then. This set is really amazing. It took me about +-6 hours to (...) (22 years ago, 18-Nov-02, to lugnet.pirates)

This is just an experiment in building houses etc with separate segments resting on tiles (as opposed to having the back of the building open). I also wanted to see how far my green bricks would go (sadly, only a little bit further than this!). (...) (22 years ago, 17-Nov-02, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au)

How would you sell these? (URL) it is 2x 6274 and 2x 6276) As a complete lot, or as individual sets? Conventional wisdom says individual sets would probably fetch a greater total price. However, I wondered whether the attraction of being able to get (...) (22 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.pirates)

You can make your US cannon firing. All you need is a older spring loaded ball point pin. Cut the spring in half, unwind the spring a little (to fit loosely around the plunger shaft) and remove the plastic disc that has been substituted for the (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.pirates)
