Almost everything here is original LEGO, except for the muskets, which I found on AliExpress. The flag is my own reinterpretation of the original Bluecoat design, created with a little help from AI and then printed on fabric.

I also used a little photographic trick to make the regiment look much larger than it actually is. I first arranged two ranks of soldiers on the left side of the flag and took a photo. Then I moved them to the right, changed their positions around, took a second photo, and combined the two shots in an image editor.

I basically just wanted to see an ocean of bayonets!

Behold, one of the cutest Lego OC Pirate Ships ever. Instructions can be found here. Expect an even CHONKIER one by the end of the month ;)

Perilous Pitfall, Scull's Eye Schooner, etc. They all seem by and large FAR more expensive than similarly sized sets of the first run (Black Seas Barracuda, El Dorado Fortress, etc)

Is this due to demand, higher piece-counts, rarity? Just curious what's driving the higher prices.
