At this point, I have no idea how Lego can fix the current system. Id legit rather go back to bags and feeling for minifigures. Every store is absolutely raided and if you're lucky to even find a box it's left like this.
Anyone have any good ideas for how this whole thing could be fixed?
New this was gonna be a 1v4 the whole game. Can't tell if they were really bad or if they were just letting me carry. So mad it was almost a perfect gold round. Believe it was Armed, Wreckage, Survival and Circuit. Shout-out to teammate though for tying me on round 2.
This is La Sabatina Harbor, the economic Capital of the tropical seas. This bustling loyalist city is under the command of Commodore Venganza and the Mariners, the royal successor to the Armada.
La Sabatina Harbor was inspired by the recent expansion of the pirates universe in recent years, with sets from the Icons line and Bricklink Design Program. But among all the ships, hideouts, outposts, and islands, there was still something missing... something that really added life to the tropical islands... and something for the pirates to raid!
I wanted to design a large loyalist urban center to display a different side of the pirates universe- a scene and place that displayed the functioning society behind all the plundering and adventure... while still creating a large playset that acts as a backdrop for epic costal battles. At the core of the design is the crescent shaped layout- creating an interesting display, mimicking historical bay settlements, and allowing for access of play.
The look of the set focuses on the vibrant colors of Caribbean settlements and variously weathered buildings that tell a story of evolution. You will see that some of the structures are quite dated and form around defensive positions, some are eloquent royal commissions, and some are of newer styles built under the rule of a different faction.
The structures and layout also serve narrative purpose, with many of the interior spaces providing moments for the characters to build a plot. While the exterior pathways, docks and marketplace act as a social space for greetings, activity and commerce, the interiors are where the characters pull down their masks and connive their own goals.
La sabatina harbor is the missing piece in the lego pirate universe- the ultimate loyalist urban center that serves as both a colorful caribbean display and the ultimate playset for plundering raids
Basically tore up the build from the set to make this. Doesn't open up or anything, just looks more complete then what Lego gave us.
Going to be a long post because I'm not sure if this has happened in the history of recorded community events.
Was getting super frustrated with trying to take on the twins, which I had never taken down in my life. Because this is easily the toughest battle I tried to get cheeky and do the ghost ship glitch. However, after many tries, I failed to jump aboard. So instead, on one random try, I got back at the wheel and started blastin.
While both ships started to attack me in previous tries, In this one, both stayed still. So I quickly waxed the fearless. However, the sovereign had drifted so far off the map that I couldn't see it. Instead, a new Royal sovereign spawned in.
Strangely, this sovereign had a classic health bar above it rather than the boss health bar on the side. I still hadn't seen the original sovereign, so I assumed this was it and resumed blasting. While it stayed in place, it's slapped me with a pretty good broadside round and took down a third of my health. On the other hand, I was able to get behind it and beat it down over time until it sunk. However, the boss fight health bar still remained.
I went on to the map and found the ship out of bounds. While chasing it down, another sovereign clone spawned in, making it the fourth level 75 ship in the encounter. I chased down the original sovereign and upon starting to hit it, the boss health bar started to go down letting me know that I needed to take the ship down. However, as soon as I engaged it, it started moving like normal.
I then spent the next few minutes fighting with it and losing a fair amount of my health, and strangely, the second clone sovereign started to fight with it. What was even weirder was that while they were the same ship, they still maneuvered hand in hand as if the clone was the fearless.
They did that typical runaway thing when the original sovereign was it low health, and so was I, leading to one last pass where I knew I just needed to take out the original boss and hopefully ignore the second or run away from it.
What you see in the clip is the final charge where I was able to destroy the last of the original sovereign, and upon dodging fire from the second clone, and the boss fight which disintegrated the second sovereign clone.
Now, aside from my belief that this is the first recorded instance of this happening, you might call me a cheater. However, if I'm truly the first person to come across this glitch, it would actually make me the first person to not sink the twin ships, but sink triplet level 75 ships in the same encounter. And, considering I was still being attacked by two level 75 ships at the same time, I'll call it even.
Made this modded base for the owlrey. Didn't need to modify the set much and gives it the terrain it deserves.
I've seen some discourse about this online, as to which set is better. Some people are complaining about the scale of the new ship, but imo, the iconic pirate ship is such an improvement.
First off, we get a true 4 minifigures (the last one had 3 plus a skeleton). The ships shaping, smoothness and colors are also the key winners here. I especially love how the back of the boat is a steep slope, something that looks a lot better than the much more cantilevered design of the old set. Plus the squid is a win.
And you can't go wrong with the price. Even though the old one was really $120 (not what the graphic shows), a $100 price point is much better, even if there's slightly less prices. Anyone who wants a bigger ship can just buy two and put them together, which is what I'll do anyway.
What do you all think?
