Yes. This is what I meant. It looks better now than before. Just a little note to the figurehead. In the age of sail the name of the ship had nothing to do with the style of the figurehead. So the ships had completely different names which where not related to the figurehead. Just said this if you want to give your ship an other name. But if you like this name theres nothing wrong with it.

I would love to see a new LotR Theme. But I have to agree that the old sets were not that spectacular. It was not because of the set choice but the poor composition of the sets itself. Don't get me wrong I like 9474 and 10237 but e.g. the 9472 9476 79005 are very small for what they could be. Also there could be done more with the Elves village Elrond (something like the ewok village) with trees and river or the 9469 could have get at least one hobbit house. Or a set where Frodo first encountered Aragon. Would have been a nice village set with little houses and the inn. When I first saw the 9474 I really wanted it. But when I saw that it was that small and for this price I was disappointed and didn't buy it. 9473 is a really nice set though. And the pirate ambush ship is ok but nothing special. But I don't know where in the movies it has played a role.

I just read a text in a Star Wars Encyclopedia about the Mud troopers before I opened this post. They also mentioned Han Solo. It's quite interesting that there will be a Han Solo Mudtrooper. It's a pity that he has no helmet. On his stand there is a pin. Will there maybe come more Star Wars Special Minifigs in the next month?

I think I know this guy. But don't know from where.

Really good. Glad to see that you continue.

Wow this thing is really fast. A buggy motor is always a good choice. I like this sober look of the car. Good to have spare wheels with you. Good job!

Your "Ask here"-Link in your Signature is now working. For the "Read this"-Link it shows: Sorry, there is a problem You do not have permission to view this content. Error code: 2F173/H

Really beautiful MOC. I love your minifigs. Do you have shots from the back?

Yes I meant 4 suspensions with 2 tracks each suspension

This set will get really expensive once it is not available anymore by lego.

So you see there is no reason to worry. ;)

It's a nice little MOC. Can't wait to see it in real bricks. I prefer the second one. Yes this looks better. Not like a box. I really love your decoration at the stern. But imao a bigger figurehead would look much better. You could place a pearl gold minifig or a mermaid without the legs. So it looks like it comes out of the bow of the ship. Also your yards are too small and too thin for the size of the boat. To be able to build taller ones you can use technic axle connectors in black. You can take a look in other MOCs or in the 10210. To hold the flag on the stern with both clips you can use a minifig lance (3849). It is higher tan the normal Bar 6l with stop.

Some Staff members have in their signature links to e.g. New Member? -- Read this. When I click on this link there is saying I do not have the permission to view this site. Same for when I click on "Need help? -- Ask here" Here it says that it can't locate the page I am looking for. Site Guidelines, Visual User Guide and FAQ are working perfectly.

I have read most of the posts in here for now. I saw that most of the post where form veterans or staff. Maybe I can give some Input from a new member. I came to Eurobricks because I wanted to talk with people about Lego, Lego Sets and Brick related stuff because in my family environment I just gather criticism. I wanted to get inspiration, share my MOCs and speculate about future sets and get deep into discussion about Lego sets. I really like the community here. Most of the people are very kindly, patient and helpful to new members. I am not just new to EB but also to a "Forum" related site. So the navigation or the established standards of posting in a forum is new for me. In my opinion the rules of Eurobricks are very kind. I found it very nice that you can edit posts. :) I do also think the staff is very nice and patient and that they are doing their job well always keeping in mind we are all humans. (Maybe one or two Minifigs... They are under us...) But as a new member I had and still have to struggle with big problems I want to describe now. I have posted my first Topic in the Forum being a WIP in the beginning and then after a month changed to be a moc. At the beginning three or four guys wrote that they found my work so far nice and they will look foward. This was very motivating me even though I asked for feedback but got none. At this time not one member of the so called Veterans who are registerd since 2007/6/5? replied to my topic. Said hello or gave me feedback. I just got posts form guys which were also new. (Two exceptions). It was for me like: Okay. My work is boring for them, they don't want to see new members or they want to be under similars. Then I updated my topic. Wrote around 500 words and tried to explain my thoughts because I think it is important not to just post pictures. I also requested feedback. At this time my post had 1000 views but only ONE guy out of all was so kind and helped me. He gave me information, gave me constructive critisism and encouraged me to stay on. He helped me so much and I built a complete different MOC because of the feedback he gave me. And no one was interested. I felt very sad but went on. Then I updated my post the second time. Not one single guy posted something. Funnily enough on Imgur where I upload my images I got feedback from random people in my albums. But on EB nothing. I felt very sad again. I am not a good lego builder since I came out of my Dark Age just shortly before. I needed the feedback but nobody gave it to me. All the experienced members who know so much about Moccing and Lego said nothing and did not helped me. At this point I had around 1500 views. A good month later I was close at the end with my moc and posted another update. Now I got people asking things I wrote in the text but they didn't read it. Anyway two guys gave me constructive criticism and now I can modify my moc and make it better. I would have been honored if even one staff member or veteran said hello but I was like not existing for them. (This is all feeling from my point of view as a new member.) For a new member the Forum is FULL of information you can't handle with. Example: I already posted 50 posts before I realized that there is a sub-sub-sub forum where new members can introduce themself. Not one single guy gave me the information like this before: "Why do you not introduce yourself first so we can get to know about you?" Also I started often a topic but then a guy with 8k posts ranted that this was already posted 10 years ago. But I didn't know that because back there I was even not aware of coming back to Lego once again... I know that there is a search function and I use them. But this limitation even for registered members is really annoying. I do not have all this overview over what was already posted and what not. I wish that new members can find topics so that they know how to do and what to do with links to several important topics and general information how the forum works. (Example: New Member? Introduce yourself; Topic which explains what are Featured Topics (I never heared this before); Topic which you find out what Forum Index is and how to use them; Links to e.g. The collection of LDD Lxf files library.) If you never heard such things it is not coming to your mind to even search some topics. A quick example happend where someone asked where he could find a bricklist of a part of a lego set. Nobody answered him so I wrote that he could rebuild the model in LDD and export the Bricklist. He could also feel free to share it because I would be interested as well. Not until then five minutes later another answered to me (not to him) that there is already existing a topic started in 2012 which has all lego sets in lxf format? Why do you not have posted this earlier? The new members are not able to get information what is already existing even if they ask. Something like a library of all librarys would be helpful. I do not have much free time. So when there started a new "Lego theme <year> Discussion" it could have 100 pages before I visit it the first time. I am not able to read all of this stuff. So before I take the risk of posting information to be helpful which then another is ranting about that it was already posted I do nothing. I hope if have described my situation a little bit. Maybe you learn to understand and maybe forgive us new members. :) Would you like to see more contests? I have no time to do them. What is your opinion of Tags (those small images on the left <---)? If there is no option to filter after tags it's quite useless. Do you use, if ever, Eurobricks reference materials (ie. lists of Reviews, lists of MOCS, lists of Forums)? YES when I would get told where I can find links to such topics! Do you use/visit the Eurobricks Facebook page? Eurobricks on Flickr? No. Do you post MOCs online? What hosting platform do you prefer to use? I prefer Imgur. I think posting MOCs is a very important part of a LEGO community and new members should always be encouraged and get feedback so they can maybe one day be as good as the fellow knights of the castle. Do you prefer broadly defined threads or multiple specialized threads? It depends on the topic. Important at the end is that you find all of them somehow. What is the first page you visit when opening Eurobricks on your browser? Portal>Looking for pinned Mocs> then Pirate Forum What do you believe Eurobricks has too much of? Sleeping/inactive members? I do not mind of inactive members since they do not post. :) What do you believe Eurobricks does not have enough of? How would you like to see this addressed? more storytelling about sets and mocs. What do you value the most about Eurobricks? I value the competend feedback. But it is to few. What do you value the least? That new members members got chopped off the head from non staff members when they do one mistake. What value would you find in a Eurobricks YouTube channel? Eurobricks is a text communitiy. This is why I joined it. Let Jangbricks do the videos. If we place more attention to our Twitter / Facebook, would you value these as a news source? No. I do not use Twitter or Facebook.

Thank you Hold0511. Found it:

-.- Ok. Will rework it. Yes your are indeed a nitpicker.

Feel free to share the BrickList. I would be also interested.

There will definitively be sets selled on the aftermarked. Just be fast enough before the prices will exlpode. Go to BrickLink and add the Set with your wished price to your wishlist. You will be notified when there is a seller. The BrickLink Entry of this Sets is already existing but not approved yet. So you will have to wait until the sell starts before you can find the entry on BL. 5005254 - Harry Potter: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=5005254-1#T=S&amp;O={"iconly":0} 5005255 - Jurassic World: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=5005255-1#T=S&amp;O={"iconly":0} 5005256 - Super Heroes: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=5005256-1#T=S&amp;O={"iconly":0} 5005257 - Ninjago: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=5005257-1#T=S&amp;O={"iconly":0}

I am not able to read 300 pages so I don't know if this was already posted. https://brickset.com/article/38054/2018-bricktober-sets-revealed! Relating to the text on the left side above the LEGO Logo: "Beim Kauf von LEGO Artikeln im Wert von 40 Euro jede Woche 1 von 4 Minifiguren-Sets im Wert von je 14,99 Euro geschenkt." Translated: When buying LEGO articles with a value of 40 Euros you get every week one of the four Minifigure-Sets with a value of 14,99 Euro for free.

This is indeed an incredible MOC. I love the details on the top. How do you manage to split the wheight on the 4 tracks. It's incredible what they have to carry.

This is not very easy. But what you can do. Take the Instruction (The first one is the one for the AT-OT) and rebuild the vehicle in a Digital CAD Program. Then you can export a Bricklist.

Really great idea for a MOC! I love it. Your city and the mini star destroyer is very detailed. Good job there. This mountain was very Wedge-intense

I really enjoyed reading this text. It is impressive that you have so much old bricks and still use them. This 12V Train is pretty nice! Never got one. I love your castle modifications and the colour combination. It's actually funny that you say that the yellow castle is to modern for you.

Lovely! I really like how your masonry turned out! Just can agree with that.

Beautiful remake! Such little builds tend to live longer because they need not so much space. From me also Welcome to EuroBricks!
