:) dark green, you mean.
:-[ i must confess that i still have my doubts about the "greenery" of the guard - for years i thought it was black.
anyway, it has a jacket so much darker than the "original" 3859 - http://www.klickypedia.com/sets/3859-esp-pirates-prison-tower/

if my memory (actually my database) serves me well, these are the final 2 elusive sets:

:captain: yps magazine figur - http://www.klickypedia.com/sets/0000v1-ger-yps-magazine-nr-284-soldier-figure/

:captain: kaufland 4935 pirate egg - http://www.klickypedia.com/sets/4935-ger-pirate-red-egg/

funny thing, these last 2 sets they are german - the same country where geobra has his factories and offices.
:'( they shouldn't be so hard to find.
the color soldier i really don't care but the pirate figure in the egg is not only rare but also beautiful.

About that pirate beach party set.. it kind of tells a story.

The original has a soldier and a jailor with a pirate prisoner.

Theres also a set released without the pirate, where its implied the soldier wants to put the jailor in prison who is appearantly revealed to be a pirate?

And I gues the pirate escaped and got his buddies, and now they are all celibrating as the soldier is captured?  :lol:

:) actually galahad, the united nations puts mexico in central america - http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm

;) a discussion about this could be started - all of central america could even be considered as part of the north side of america, being also in the northern hemisphere, etc. - but i don't think it's worth it.

If you go by continents then Central America is in fact a part of the continent of North America.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

the only place i found them, rasputin, was in www.mercadolibre.mexico.com.
when i posted my find, a klickywelt collector asked me the same and then asked me if he could buy them.
as i had no way to do it - and he did, having some collector friends in mexico - i didn't mind at all.
:) on the contrary, i was glad a bit of america (never mind if north or central or south) could come to europe.

Sail west from Europe and call everyone you meet an Indian!

Sorry, I couldn't resist that one!

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)
