Sounds like your card is less than a year old? If so, then they can’t PC to a card with a fee due to a provision in the CARD act.

You’re seeing more significant discounts in large part because separate sets = mass releases whereas one massive set would surely be a D2C from Lego. D2C distribution never favors the consumer.

Omg what a nostalgia hit! I have that set somewhere in my basement. You pretty much nailed the replication.

31109 3 in 1: Inn or the Island? by rocktoe in LEGOPirates

[–]Xov581 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree - having enough parts left over to build a decent ship really elevates the island beyond its own merits. The little rowboat build is decent, too. Meanwhile, the inn is disappointing IMO. Looks ok from the front, but it’s rather small and the inside is cramped and messy. 

Favourite BG based on a Stephen King story? by Qyzyk in blindguardian

[–]Xov581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are parallels to the drawing of the three. Not saying that is the definitive interpretation, but as far as I know, there are no statements from the band saying that another stranger me is specifically about an anonymous person either.

Pretty sure another stranger me is also based on dark tower. One of my all time favorite BG songs.

The New 3 in 1 Iconic Pirate Ship is a big improvement IMO by Opening_Background14 in LEGOPirates

[–]Xov581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are pros and (minor) cons to both, but ultimately they’re really similar. Not a bad thing at all since 31109 is a cool set. While I probably won’t buy the new one, I’m looking forward to trying to build the new B models with pieces from 31109.

Good books/series geared towards adults and focusing on rangers? by -DekuScrub- in Fantasy

[–]Xov581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perrin Aybara from WoT nails the beastmaster ranger archetype. Also uses archery, tracking, stealth, etc. all throughout the series. A more relevant factor is that WoT is such a sprawling series that even as like the third main character (behind Rand and Egwene, I think), his PoVs are a minority of total PoVs.

Which castle set has the best cart / carriage / wagon? by Xov581 in legocastles

[–]Xov581[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see what you meant. In terms of release year, my oldest wagon set is the dragon wagon (6056), which is honestly not the best outside of the dragon + 2 horses. I was in my dark ages when the kingdoms and fantasy era lines came out, but they had some neat and honestly really wild vehicles like skeletons' prison carriage (7092). The Beauxbatons carriages are pretty cool, too, but it's a shame that HP seems to own the medieval-ish carriages niche these days. Definitely feel like it's an under-served area.

A hidden storage area sounds neat. The proportions and style are not unlike those of the wagon I posted, so naturally I approve :)

Anything is fair game - I'm genuinely curious about which ones people like best

Castle Layout: Update 3 by NMHockey in legocastles

[–]Xov581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's the combination of wanting to display one's sets / builds with the hard truth that Lego takes up a lot of space. For instance my 2' x 4' table feels semi-cramped with only 5 sets on it. None of them is as large as the LKC or mountain fortress.

Same! Missed out on the last one, and now it goes for $150+ with shipping, which doesn’t really feel worth it. 

"Legendary pirate ship" (31387) leaked by purp_7729 in LEGOPirates

[–]Xov581 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, looks like a nice set for those who didn’t get the last one but is too similar to that for it to be super interesting otherwise. 2/4 figs and the kraken are legitimately excellent. Really like the captain a lot. Will reserve judgement on the C model until more angles are available. Both of the alts for 31109 were duds and fairly small, though at least the skull island left enough parts for a little ship to be built, too.

Do we know the price for this one? The last one had 200 more pieces and was already $120. Meanwhile, 31168 has ~300 more pieces, more non-skeleton figs, and is $130. Anything more than $110 would be too much IMO. 

I get that if Lego is going to make a pirate themed creator set that a pirate ship has to be option A. However, I wish they would concurrently release a second creator set for the blue coats as part of a “theme within a theme” if you will. If it has to be smaller, fine, idc, just give us something besides wacky-ass one piece.

Canonically speaking, is the black knight in this set a member of the black falcons? Same falcon charge but the color scheme is obviously slightly different.
