| Hello! (...) How could I possibly not! It's the most hilarious computer game I ever played. In fact it's the last and only game still worthy being plaid. It was IIRC released about 1990, the time when LEGO Pirates were pretty new on the market and (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)

Then there are the lighting torches, lightsabers etc. that they (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| How much? haha. I really want to own this as a set. Amazing work! any chance we get some instructions for this one? (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Pirate Tree House
|
| (...) Indeed: (URL) That's probably why I thought it had been in more than one set... I've seen the all-blue variant from the collection of some GameLUG member in an Evil Stevie's game and just assumed it was from a different set. I think I've seen (...)

| (...) Sure. It looks a little like this: (URL) This is, as far as I know, the only set in which it comes. It is a 32x32 blue baseplate with the sand pattern and some little white starter dots for the first few steps of the build. And yes, I do own (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) I imagine you've already checked out (URL) I loved this set too... I waited eight months in high school to get this after seeing it in the beginning-of-the-year catalog, and then waiting for a Target sale. It's a 32x32 baseplate with a few (...)

It isn't the "new bluish brown", but it is a color I really like and am trying to incorporate into (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Jason, great to hear from you again, I hope you are doing well. Thanks for noticing the broken rail, it's always a question of how broken in should things be, so I figured that it would be pretty damaged after the hoist. Thanks again! Jon (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Pirate Tree House

| | | | | Re: Pirate Tree House
|
| (...) Stephen, Thanks for your compliments, I really struggled as to whether to include the crows nest, I was nervous it would be a little too much. I'm really glad you enjoyed that bit! Jon (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) Thanks for your kind words Jojo. The praise of the praiseworthy is the most satisfying sort! I did fret a bit over the black trees but figured that if they were good enough for the forestmen, then they would work for the pirates. I can't (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Good work, Jon. I was a big fan of SFR as a kid and now you've got me wanting to go watch it again. Also, I've wanted to make a village in the trees but always wimped out, worrying about having enough parts to make the massive trees. But your (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

I love the placement of the figs 'in action' as well...really captures (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| Hello! This is so cool! Looking at your MOC I instantly got the feeling I was in a Monkey-Islandish cartoon scene. Very atmospheric, very detailed and of course very skillfully built. Well, I wouldn't have expected the opposite. :-) I didn't even (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)
