Just curious, has anyone else thought of adding the old school chrome exhaust pipes to this rod?

Personally, I wouldn't mind a redesigned polar bear one bit. I see there is a lot of potential in this theme, even if bringing back a few pieces from the past is just the start.

I hate to bump the thread, but I do have a request. Has anyone tried the hairpiece in question with a breast plate? Thank you.

It is good to be reminded about this set. I remember picking up one or three a few years ago.

Well said. In this case, there are certainly less figures I am interested in obtaining, but this is certainly not a write off. The Conquistador and Pirate Captain in particular appeal to me (I'm a Pirate builder), but I also know I will most likely pick up the robot, as well as the Greek, and most likely one of the Bavarians, if only to keep going with the "Nationalism" theme LEGO is going with (See Statue of Liberty, Guardsman, Bagpiper, and to a somewhat lesser extent, the Geisha and the Flamenco Dancer.)

I really like this theme, and could definitely see something coming from it.

Another great review! I think I'm going to have to pick this set up.

Agreed, a decent number of generic pirates, plus a tricorn in black (which always seems to me to be in short supply) Plus, another octopus.

I have a few ideas for that as well, so I am curious to see what you came up with.

I'm really glad to see there is more pre-1800's weapons in development. And I am really looking forward to getting my hands on a few of those flintlock pistols for my army building.

Thanks for the review, but I am afraid I am going to have to pass on this one. The stickers and the multiple sub builds break my desire for the set.

I agree, I like that smoke cloud a lot. Even if they are French Nice work on integrating the POTC hairpieces into your forces.

Those molds are great! Fine craftsmanship. You said earlier that you had about 100-200 castings/ mold. Are you using a mold release? If you do so, you should be able to get a 1,000 or so castings before you have any mold detail loss.

That is a great piece of work!

Sorry for the double post. My computer glitched a bit there.

I picked it up on clearance, and it was definitely worth it. The whole set drops right into the port I'm working on, and I actually really like that carriage.

I don't know, I'm still on the fence about this...still, can one actually regret buying LEGO? I'll have to see if it's around next time I check the sales.

I have to say Classic Pirates, I am predominately an army builder, so while there are some interesting parts and torsos in the POTC, I need to get back to my Redcoats.

I pulled in the Isla de la Muerta and the Cannibal Escape this week. The hut actually makes a fun addition to my Islanders. Oh, and I bricklinked parts for my Imperial army.

Thanks for the link to the instructions, I feel like they might be my next build.

Is there more to Game of Thrones other than sex, violence, or drinking? Just kidding. I'm a huge fan as well, and I would have to get whatever they made for it. (A minifig scale Iron Throne would be awesome!)

I have to say Shaak Ti, although I admit I have a soft spot for the sheer randomness that is the Santa Yoda.

While my army is English, the Islanders are gaining strength. Of course, there are pirates, but they are nominal compared to an army.

I'm just glad to finally be seeing the non-Clone Wars styles of Mace Windu and Saesee Tinn. The only problem is that part of me is thinking "really expensive Jedi battlepack."

Forgive me, but how many of those did you snag? Should we be expecting a Sith army soon enough?
