PICTORIAL REVIEW: 1481 Desert Island

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Click here to discuss Lego set 1481, Desert Island in the pirate forum

Mister Phes presents us with another fine review: this time the classic 1481 Desert Island, an early form of Impulse set. Featuring the starving, marooned pirate with only a parrot and a saucepan for company, this set was a great addition to any pirat’s collection. Will he ever make it away from the island and past the hungry shark?

Find out by reading this exciting review in the pirate forum!

Poll: Does the LEGO Pirate Forum take too long to load?

Poll: LEGO Pirate Forum Loading Time

Mister Phes wants to know…

“Does the LEGO Pirate Forum take too long to load?”

Click here to submit your vote and opinions

One of the concerns at Classic-Pirates.com is the amount of take it takes the LEGO Pirates Forum skin to load. The first time it loads on my system (i.e. after a fresh Windows install) it may take a little long, but after the images are cached it’s not too bad, of course this may not be the case for everyone else.

So share your thoughts on the load time of the Pirate Forum skin.

Volcano Island, by Duke

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Behold the Volcano Island! In the heart of this calm and pleasant Island is a fiery volcano.. and that volcano demands a sacrifice!

A hot bubble bath for the prisoners.

Duke’s latest is a wonderfully tranquil island with lucious vegetation, chattering monkeys and a bathing pool. Only… watch out for the fiery volcano and inevitable sacrifice!

Port Antonio, by Evildead

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Evildead’s scene is reminiscent of classical Pirate sets, yet retains the aura of a fine MOC, capturing the slightly shanty-town-esque feel of the real-life port which inspired this. Watch out for the rat wars!

Going to have a drink in the Inn!

Going to have a drink in the Inn!

This port has an Inn with a bar, two bedrooms and a warehouse with a working crane. All the roofs and rooms are detachable. This turns the moc even more playable!

Drink up me hearthies, YO HO!
