We also found a LEGO 6274 Eldorado fort with a large quantity of additional bricks.

"Napoleon Bonaparte - The little general"

One of our more devoted members, Brig. Brick, brings us a very easy tutorial on how to make an accordeon/concertina in only a few minutes time.
All you need are two flat tiles and some deskapparel like paper, scissors and glue!
Ready in 10 minutes or less!
Wikipedia: A concertina is a free-reed musical instrument, like the variousaccordions and the harmonica. It has a bellows and buttons typically on both ends of it. When pressed, the buttons travel in the same direction as the bellows, unlike accordion buttons which travel perpendicularly to it. Also, each button produces one note, while accordions typically can produce chords with a single button.
The concertina was developed in England and Germany, most likely independently. The English version was invented in 1829 by Sir Charles Wheatstone and a patent for an improved version was filed by him in 1844. The German version was announced in 1834 by Carl Friedrich Uhlig.

Mister Phes wants to know!
For the 2009 Pirate Theme the LEGO Group used the newer, larger sharks which first appeared in the Agent sets.
Would you prefer to see a return to classic sharks if future LEGO Pirate sets are released?
Or maybe it should be the newer shark all the way.
Or perhaps it could be a mixture of both, depending on the set
Or maybe the LEGO Group should
But how do Pirate LEGO fans feel about this change?
Cast your vote in the Pirate forum and tell us what you think!!!
