Captain Pirate Man Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I know it's not technically for this thread, but I also bought the Tower Bridge set today. I'm looking forward to the 4000 piece challenge. My biggest set to date is around 1200, so it's quite a jump. Quote
The Imperial Soldier Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Last week I got the Caribbean Clipper from eBay, built it on Thursday night and now it's pride of place alongside my other sets. I'd already got the other bluecoats sets and it was only the Clipper which was missing! Now to get some Pirates and Redcoat sets!! Quote

The Imperial Soldier Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Will try to get photos up of the CC soon. Have also just got a joblot of Pirate building parts off eBay. Looks like the majority of both the EF and FI sets from the pictures although the seller says they are incomplete. Need to build them up and see what's missing, then get any parts needed from Bricklink. I already have the EF so this 2nd one is mainly for parts to use in a MOC. Quote
The Imperial Soldier Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Hopefully this will work. Opened a Flickr account to put pictures in and this'll be my first. Edited March 5, 2016 by Stash2Sixx Added the picture! Quote

The Imperial Soldier Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 The photo is little far, but looks neat :) you made me to go and look at mine ;) cheers I've posted so many times that the "new member" thread has disappeared for me so I couldn't read how to embed the photos from Flickr. I'm posting from my phone so it's the mobile site. Will work on getting some better photos up. I have some more Pirate stuff on its way to me so there'll be photos of that too! :D Quote
BrickOn Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Mmmm nice ship, I wouldn't mind one of those in my collection. You can find the tutorial by searching for flickr in Help and info forum. The first 3 pics give you all the info you need to embed the images, not sure if it helps for the mobile uploading, but you can always edit your posts later. Welcome to Eurobricks btw. Quote

Thanks, I'll read through that when I get on a PC later. In the meantime I just got home from work to find a parcel with 2 treats inside: :D Edited March 5, 2016 by Stash2Sixx Added the picture!

The Imperial Soldier Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 These are great small sets too!...i have them and really adds great assets to other sets! Yeah, I like the extra minifigs. I have a few more on the way. In the meantime here's the 2 out of the boxes! I noticed with 6258 it has a purple box. Did they change them later on or is it likely to be a different countries release? Quote

As for the 6258, you have the European Version which has slight different color than the US Version. Quote
The Imperial Soldier Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 As for the 6258, you have the European Version which has slight different color than the US Version. I'm in the UK so I presume that it's a UK box although it may have passed through a few sellers. I noticed I have a Lagoon Lockup box which is also purple and they both have the "System" logo on them so I wondered if for the 2nd generation line they'd just changed the boxes by then as it was 2 years after the first line. In other news I had to sign for a large parcel as I left for work this morning and I suspect it's a boxed EF which I won recently. Won't find out till I get home! :D Quote
BrickOn Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) I've bought stuff from the UK and the boxes were purple, ( I have no recolection of what my original sets came in). But the boxed set I bought recently was an islanders set, so made later on. But there are differences between the USA and European sets, in the US they didn't allow cannons that could be fired, whereas Europe was fine with that. Edited March 4, 2016 by BrickOn Quote
The Imperial Soldier Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) As I thought the parcel was a boxed 6276: Fort Eldorado! :D Also got an extra raised baseplate which I intend on incorporating into a MOC at some point. https://flic.kr/p/EiA1pn It's chipped in the corner but I'll probably end up covering that anyway. Edited March 5, 2016 by Stash2Sixx Added thepicture! Quote
Captain Pirate Man Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Cool man, it's a good one for sure. I hope to be getting it within the next month or so. Quote

TalonCard Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Yeah, I like the extra minifigs. I have a few more on the way.

Did they change them later on or is it likely to be a different countries release? I believe the boxes changed color in 1992 with the release of the Imperial Guard sets. Because LEGO had a three year product cycle (I know! I almost miss it too!) that meant that there were yellow and purple Pirate boxes on the shelves at the same time. Some of the 1991 sets had purple boxes too by their second or third year. TC Quote
