I just stumbled upon these at the danish shop@home Lego store...

I think these playing cards look awesome - they're not too expensive either

Looks nice. What's weird though: it doesn't have anything in common with the current Pirates line, other than the name. Is this a re-release?

Sure as hell, no.
This is a first for any LEGO theme I think. I don't recall there ever being any playing cards in the past. And the pictures of the minifigs on the cards are from the new line. :pir-wink:
Anyway, onto the frontpage it goes!

Brickvention 2010 was fantastic, looking forward to 2011!

Good idea about the frontpage, and I like the idea of LEGO playing cards a lot.

Redbeard is coming back?! Gorgeous torso in red. And a maiden, eh? I feel a change in the wind...

Eeh.., unless you know something we don't I'd say no, those are obviously the classic torso's. :pir-classic:

Hmm, not trying to burst your bubble, but I think his torso is red on the shown card because it's a diamond card. I assume his torso and also the maiden's torso will be black on spades cards.

€4 is pretty good on price! I'll be buying some if they are still available when I next order (probably Emerald Night - although it would be nice to get that from UK somehow).

Quite interesting the way the old torsos/heads/headgear are combined for the characters here.

Bubble bursted. :pir_bawling:

I was assuming he did know something we don't. With the wink and all. Cause they sure looked like ancient pirates to me. Apart from Redbeard's colour that is. I have heaps of the ol' rascal right here... In classy, classic black. Would've been nice to see him return with a new torso though. Oh well.

They seem pretty good to me. Only £2.95 in the UK, the artwork on them looks great too. Nice find.

Nice found!

They look really awesome, especially the art work.
Maybe I will buy them to play a drunken round of skat :pir-blush:

Actually I have a set of City playing cards from a few years ago. I got it at LEGOLAND California. They weren't drawings either, they were pictures of different minifigs.

They are available online through the lego website in the US for $4.99. Must have just become available today. I'll have to swing by and see if they have any in their store.

Aw, give me a break. I had to shuffle the C-P news around in order to get these onto the frontpage at 2:30 AM! :angry: :pir_laugh2:
