SlyOwl brings us the lowly tail of a sea monster who wishes nothing more than to have a single friend. However the sailors are rather angry about the proposal and have retaliated...

The Monster decides to play with the sailors and their boat
Our friendly golden eyed monster just wants to play with the sailors and their ship. Although failing, it persists trying to make friends. I don't think it will at this rate. Do you?
Come and discuss Why Won't you be my Friends? in the pirate forum.

A great set just got even better...

This here is a fine MOC to be sure. This was a great set, and now that we know what a bit of skill can do with it, it just got a whole heap better. Utilising clever techniques and innovative uses of everyday bricks, this is a Brickshelf find not to be missed!

Have you ever wanted to make custom sails but didn't know how to make them? Take a look at Paul Cantu's handy tutorial and discuss it on the Classic Pirates forum.

And yes, it is cheap as well!

Puerto Rodrego is an old shanty town located somewhere on the Spanish coastline. Created by someone who has lost their socks, it is shrouded with secret and mystery.

The town is encapsulated in deception and the occult...
Puerto Rodrego has been tainted by a small drug industry, murder and famine. Even the Imperials struggle to survive in the barren landscape that they have been put in charge of!
