Supplemental
I don't really ever expect to have a chance at any of these . . . but just for the sake of thoroughness, I'll mention these.
- Pirates
I'd be more than happy to get one of the really good Lego Pirate sets (primarily the older Brown-Hull Ships and the older Soldier/Imperial sets).
Here's just a small sampling:
- Skull's Eye Schooner
- Black Seas Barracuda
- Imperial Flagship (I don't have one of these, yet)
- Caribbean Clipper (I don't have one of these, yet)
- Imperial Trading Post (I don't have one of these, yet)
- Castle
I'd also be ecstatic to get one of the really good Lego Castle sets, primarily the older, actually-is-a-castle sets, but also some of the smaller sets as well.
Here's a sampling:
- Black Falcon's Fortress
- King's Mountain Fortress
- King's Castle
- Knight's Castle
- Castle guard
- Blacksmith Shop
- Battering Ram
- Guarded Inn
- Model Team
I'm looking for several of the old Model Team sets:
You may be thinking:
"Trans-Cyan? Trans-CYAN?!?. . . . There aren't any Lego cones/pegs/(etc.) in Trans-Cyan. What's Franklin's problem?. . . . "You're quite probably correct. The Lego Co. hasn't made any of these bricks/plates in Trans-Cyan. . . . At least, not YET. . . . I'm just indulging in a bit of wishful thinking. ;-)
