These are looking pretty good. Also looks like there will be different coins, instead of the 10-20-30-40 ones looks like 1-5 (and 10) are in the isla de muerta set.

Brickset says I have about 17.500 parts and 325 minifigs, but in reality it would probably be closer to 20.000 parts and 400 figs. I just entered the sets from the top of my head + I've bought some loose parts of off bricklink and such (and brickset doesn't have info on every set).

The availability of the right pieces in the colour you want are a fairly big factor, like Admiral Croissant said, with the 1xX and 2xX plates for example, or with wedge/"wing" plates. It also depends on the other colours you're going to use on the ship. I personally think tan, dark tan, brown, reddish brown and light grey all look good on a deck, but it's just personal preference.

This looks amazing Great idea, it turned out perfect.

And again, too many great entries ... 10) Robot & Jungle Explorer Entry (Build by Darkblane) 12) Diver & Surfer Entry (Build by squiz) 21) Skater Boy & Traffic Cop Entry (Build by Masked Builder)

So many great entries, so few points to divide: 4) Lifeguard Entry (Build by Dan Church) 9) Skier Entry (Build by Rufus) 17) Skier Entry (Build by Yatkuu)

Let the sleepless nights of anticipation begin .

Lol, you didn't watch the game I presume? Brazil made a ton of fauls, many of them on Robben, even trying to disable him, how's that for "sportsmanlike"? Several of them deserved at least a yellow card, but didn't get one, why should van Bommel receive a card for his actions when worse actions aren't greeted with a card? (also Kaka hitting Ooijer, deserved at least yellow, and yet, Ooijer was the one receiving a card). Like it or not, the Dutch deserved to win.

Not all of the minifigs haven't been done before, they're part new (like the cheerleader and crash-test dummy), and part existing minifigs (like forestmen, nurses, and astronauts/spacemen, which there all exist plenty of also).

Gender: Male Occupation/print on torso: Pirate/Imperial-era with "puffy shirt" Type of headgear: Very light grey wig Type of facial expression: Normal, maybe cocky Color on torso/legs: Black Accessory: Rapier (and maybe a flintlock or blunderbuss pistol) Gender: Female Occupation/print on torso: Pirate/Imperial-era with nice dress Type of headgear: Very light grey wig Type of facial expression: Powdered face Color on torso/legs: Dress Accessory: Fan (and maybe an umbrella) Gender: Male Occupation/print on torso: Mongolian warrior Type of headgear: Mongol hat (which we have) Type of facial expression: Determined, with moustache Color on torso/legs: Brown/dark grey/black Accessory: Bow+quiver and/or mongol sword Gender: Male Occupation/print on torso: Indian guard (like the one with scorpion palace) Type of headgear: Turban (which we have) Type of facial expression: Normal, maybe cocky Color on torso/legs: Black Accessory: Shield and scimitar Gender: Male Occupation/print on torso: Samurai Type of headgear: Samurai helmet (which we have) Type of facial expression: Agitated, with moustache Color on torso/legs: Black/grey Accessory: Katana and armor Gender: Male Occupation/print on torso: Roman soldier, with armor print Type of headgear: Roman helmet Type of facial expression: Normal/neutral Color on torso/legs: Armor print Accessory: Shield and a spear or sword (and maybe a red cape) Good idea, a football player (as in:"soccer") is probably the most likely candidate out of the sports players since it appeals worldwide (while am. football, baseball and icehockey are mostly exclusive to north america), although the timing would be better if such a fig had been released before the world cup.

Those light gray rock pieces came in the western sets, the one in this set is supposed to be dark gray (also the admiral woodhouse torso is replaced with a normal imperial guard torso). I've always liked this set, it's one of the best pirate sets ever made. It's got pretty much everything you need in a set this size. And indeed, the ladders are a big plus for this set in its design, a fair amount of sets have/had super-minifigs that can jump from floor to floor, but this has accesable floors for the average joe without super-jumping powers.

Seems like a nice little set, great minifig. But this set needs a shield, like many similar sets before this, it isn't complete without a shield.
