| Okay, so there's no Lego content, but I just had to say what I was rooting for all year will come to pass: Pirate Bowl! Raiders vs. Buccaneers. Okay, ummmmm, Lego content....love the Riflemen! Very Sharpe. But shouldn't they have green pants? Not (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.pirates)

Yes, but so far I've only got a single turban, and that's purple :) With turban's coming out this year in white, black and red, I'm likely to build the odd lancer... unfortunately, with the black and white turbans only in the scorpion palace (...)

| I thought of Brits verses East Indians as soon as I saw the new Orient line. I was also thinking of the 3 new sets due out later this year for Chinese verses the Ninja. Or possibly Chinese verses Mongol. But unless TLC releases these miniigs in (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.minifigs)

| | | | | Re: Rifles!
|
| Well done. I like the custom Torsos, did you make them using Sticker Printer? I liked your pix, do you have any more? There are so many good projects that could be done if we could only get the hats and parts from Lego. Keep your sails in the wind, (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.pirates)
| | | | | Rifles!
|
| Well if there were any soldiers anywhere in the early 1800s who could hope to survive an encounter with Richie Dulin's Highlanders, it had to be the likes of these. Yes, the much-famed greenjackets, complete with 'high-tech' Baker rifles and faded (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.pirates)

| Impressive. They can make...kilts. Very nice dude. It is amazing how you can take the everyday, non-minifig accessory (tyres, 1x2 plates), and turn out grade A military. Love it.
