These redcoats seem to have found their favourite type of food.
What is the brown stuff those redcoats are eating? Could it have something to do with rats? It probably does because it's an entry for the Rat Award! Oky Wan has made both a very funny and a very disgusting entry, certainly worth to take a look at!

Although it was a French army, it was filled mainly with Belgians.
After all the well-suited armies standing perfect in line and shooting at the same time, Michaelozzie has now made an army with a far more ragged look and formed out of volunteers. Usually you can guess what the rest of an army looks like by viewing only 3 soldiers. This time, almost every soldier is unique which makes the army very interesting to take a look at.

It's only a WIP, but already a very good-looking ship.
Except for the fact that you have (almost) all the bricks, working with MLCad and LDD is usually more difficult than building with real bricks. Therefore it's always impressive to see some good ship MOC's made with one of those programs. Eddy Redbeart has made 4 stunning ships with great colourschemes and a perfect shape. From a small pirate galleon to an Imperial flagship, he's made some good stuff for everyone.

Take a look at this magnificent vessel!
How better to introduce yourself on our forum than with a big imperial three-masted ship with an impressive broadside? Mvelic did just that. And the ship is very modular so you can take a look inside every tiny corner of it. This ship has everything, from a large captain's cabin to a room full of weapons and ammunition. You can see crewmembers everywhere, busy with their day-to-day life, so you really have the feeling of going back in time.
Take a look at the Imperial ship Adrianna by mvelic in the LEGO MOC's forum!

Childish tricks for sure. But a beard at this age!
Young Joey Lock and Commodore Hornbricker are doing some very childish tricks. Onfortunately for them, General Armendariz knows were they live...He takes his revenge in a very cruel way! Although Armendariz made this comic in a bit of a hurry, it will certainly give you a good laugh (that is, if you're not a Redcoat yourself).

Will one of the redcoats be able to gain his freedom?
Sergeant Phes has captured a few famous Redcoats. This time, that doesn't automatically mean they're dead. Captain Bluehair is feeling generous and he gives them a second chance. They can enter the 'Red Lympics', and the one that survives gains freedom. What are the challenges and who will be the winner?
Find out by reading ToRII: The "Red Lympics" by Captain Blue Hair!

Do they come out of the classic horse... ...or something different?
Do you know the story about the battle of Troy? Well, this is kind of the same story but it sets place in the age of piracy and it's not about Helen of Troy but about Helen of Toy. With her face she could launch a thousand ships! She's been kidnapped and the redcoats want her back. It's much more hilarious than the original story and has a great ending. And where would our ZCerberus be without his bananas?

Time to pass your thoughts on to the LEGO Group!
The latest community survey was in April 2010. Now we want to ask you again to fill in a new survey (with some old questions, but also some new ones) to know even more about global AFOL (defined as ages 20+) and TFOL (defined as ages 13-19) communities. Adult or Teenage Fans of LEGO bring an important perspective to the LEGO Group. So this information is of great interest to the LEGO Group.
Please take a moment to complete this short online survey. Afterwards you can see the key findings of the last survey and tell us how the current one went in the LEGO Pirates forum.
Thank you on behalf of The LEGO Community Team!

That's not the right way to handle those fine drinks!
For as long as anyone can remember there has been an ongoing battle between Bluecoats and Redcoats. Capt. Thomas Foolery shows us this history like the Redcoats remember it. The story is being told to settle the disagreement once and for all. But for how long will it really last? And why do the Redcoats think they are the best?
Find out in Capt. Thomas Foolery's ToRII-entry "The history of the coats"!

Oh no! He is turning himself into a redcoat!
Using dynamite to blow up just one enemy soldier? That's quite cruel isn't it? But a redcoat came up with this idea and was promoted for it! In Kerntechniker's comic, you'll see this and more (like some bluecoats getting slaughtered). So if you are a true redcoat, you can't miss this one! For the bluecoats among us, it's a good reason for taking revenge in an even more cruel way!
