Don't think the new shark would have fitted in one of the 'holes' of the advent calendar

Based on the reaction in this thread, I'd also say that BURPs/LURPs are not a valid answer anymore

Ha, you're loco

6235 Buried treasure; 6245 Harbor sentry; 6259 Broadside's brig; and 6265 Sabre island for € 15 incl shipping

There appears to be a 2 x 2 x 2 container ('post box') in the back of the vehicle.

I think the idea of the topic is more to imagine it would be your only copy of BSB versus your only copy of SES. And no reselling possibilities

Don't worry: you're all - a different kind of - annoying!

Skipper's drawing is great again... Ok, I see you do have some requests remaining. In that case I hope you at least add me to the (bottom of the ) list...

Really curious about what you will receive as an answer (if you receive an answer at all).

Nice little classic set. The rear-facing lights on the roof are very simple but effective.

Kind of boils down to this poll, eh? But definitely BSB for me, because in comparison to SES it has an upper deck, neutral sails, so it can be converted into any faction by swapping flags, a much better stern design, and no silly rotating canons. SES is of course a proper three-master and the big sail on the second mast makes it look a lot larger and more menacing. If I'd have both the SES would be my pirate ship, whereas the BSB would be converted into an imperial ship. Luckily I just managed to buy a 6285 BSB

... 'cause they're excellent parts that exist for 30 years already...

It's not even primarily the colors, it's mainly the lacking design of the later Pirates I sets.

If you don't have a backlog anymore and you feel like it... I'd like it if you could draw my sigfig as well... (I'm also looking forward to what you make of Skipper's sigfig, hope you make the one with the bicorne)

..., which are also gone now, but hey the builds aren't that challenging

30001 is very cute indeed. It's kinda disappointing though that the subthemes are ambulance, fire, police, and construction again. These little sets would lend themselves really well to creating nice 'city life' additions. Unfortunately, these sets are not that useful and realistic considering the rest of the city line. But of course they are intended to sell the bigger City sets...

Naaah, more the opposite of Olive Oyl

Your stern design indeed is nice. You don't see green being used that often over here. Anything you feel like sharing will be appreciated. It may give other people further ideas.

Really nice review of a pretty hideous set, well the minifigs are nice and indeed the sail is a nice design... the hatch in the back looks too modern. The cargo area in the front looks plain cheap. And I sure am glad there are shooting cannons in my classic pirates sets, if not for the function, then for the looks. The smooth barrels of the shooting cannons are way better than those emblems on the non-shooting version.

20014, they use 200xx for Brickmaster exclusives

I'm guessing the top secret set is an Atlantis set (considering that line is for 1-1-2010 release: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?...t&p=572419)

Thanks for the work on the review index. Much easier with the little thumbnails.

Looks really smooth... the roof looks great!
