  Re: MegaBloks
 
(...) I'm not positive about this but I heard the other day that LEGO Viking Sets could be found exclusively at Toy's R Us.... ah here it is Eric Olsen: Q:Why did LEGO wait till 2005 to make vikings? A: scandinamvian humbleness... we did not think (...) (19 years ago, 19-Aug-05, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates)
 
  How LEGO Factory could revive Pirates
 
I'm excited about the upcoming LEGO Factory. Here's notes from Jake about it: (URL) With this, and just a little bit of support from LEGO (such as the reintroduction of pirate minifigs and sails, and a couple other specialized parts), we could (...)

  New forum for pirate lego
 
So, it being a couple weeks since the Piratebricks.com boards seemed to have worked i decided to set up a substitute board in the meantime. I think this could be useful since there seemed to be about 25-50 posts a week over there and only a couple (...) (19 years ago, 16-Aug-05, to lugnet.pirates)

  Re: About piratebricks.com
 
The forums have been viewable for a couple of days but I still cannot post a new topic as of this morning. I hope it comes back online soon. (19 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  About piratebricks.com
 
Hey I was wondering if anyone knew who runs this site and would be able to contact them. I can't seem to find an E-mail for any of them on the website. (supose i could be blind) I keep having problems with their forums, i can't post due to a session (...) (19 years ago, 2-Aug-05, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: The LEGO Revival Survey
 
This is my final plea and I will be silent about this (I will post the results though) from now on. Lugnet isn't filled with little children. There are thousands, I think, of members here who have jobs, families, children, spouses and other things (...)

  Re: The LEGO Revival Survey
 
I know this is posted to many many groups, but I really need people from all interests to help take this survey. There are so many members here at Lugnet yet I feared too few ever check the home page or .general. So, I plea with all of you to allow (...)

  Pirates of the Spanish Main
 
Was out shopping the other day and found a game called, Pirates of the Spanish Main. See www.wizkidsgames.com/pirates It's a neat little game, uses punched cards to make ships, has all sorts of collectable stuff and so on. Anyhow the rules are nice (...)

  Re: MegaBloks

I can see in the next few years Megabloks gaining greater market share and continuing to improve it's product line in terms of quality, realism and general appeal to a wider youth audience then Lego.

  Re: MegaBloks
 
(...) Surely you include LEGO's new "Lil' Pirates" line, or whatever it's called, in your critique? One of the new Pirates Jr. ships has only 140 pieces. (...) You're showing your age, Kirby!

  Re: MegaBloks
 
(...) Eh, I don't like the Dragon product line. The occasional special piece in a kit is great (Bionicle pushes the limits of good taste, but doesn't break them), the Dragon line is hard to be considered bricks at all. From what I've seen, there are (...) (19 years ago, 3-Jul-05, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates)

  Re: MegaBloks
 
I'll admit that Megabloks look really cool on the shelf. But I have to question a really cool looking Pirate ship or castle w/ dragon when there's only a hundred pcs or so. I look at the boxes and see a LOT of juniorization. And talk about color (...) (19 years ago, 3-Jul-05, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates)

  Pirate ships and blogging
 
Hi all! I've been awaiting a lego pirate ship that is up to par...u pirate people know what i mean. I have Captain Redbeard's pirate ship, which i thought was decent.
