I just won on E-bay LEGO Pirate sets- 6267, 6258, 6257, 6251 and of course Phes's favourite and first 6235

[Mister Phes]

Excellent!  Well done!  Is is fantastic!

Did you get good prices for all of these?  I also immensly like 6267 Lagoon Lockup because it seems the most complete pirate set for its size. I think I have about 4 of those so far, only 2 built though, the other 2 have gone into spare parts.

5 new sets to add to your pirate collection is a wonderful thing!  How many pirate sets in total do you have now?

[Lost Viking]

To answer both your questions, it cost $50.00. And I now have a total of 25 different pirate sets. I have a few doubles which I did not count.

[Mister Phes]

It all counts when its pirate LEGO!!!  The more the better!

Were the instructions and boxes also included, or was it just the pieces?

[Lost Viking]

Yes, both the boxes and the instructions are included for each. Except the pirate mini-figures... but I don't thik that set even came with instructions in the first place.

[Mister Phes]

Errr.  No it didn't.  Despite its complicated design LEGO figured that most people could figure out how to put it together themselves.

Anyways Lost Viking, what inspired you to get these sets, was it a whim or did you see the auctions a week in advance and think "I'm gonna win these no matter what!"??

[Lost Viking]

Well, I have been wanting to expand my pirate collection and found the auction the night before it was over. Like you said I thought,"I'm gonna win these no matter what"... and I did. :)

[Mister Phes]

Yeah, I used to get that feeling a lot once upon a time.  Now I have almost all the pirate sets except for a dew American promotion ones so I don't get that feeling as much as I used to.

Do you plan to get more Pirate sets in the future?

[Lost Viking]

Definately! I am a Castle/Pirate/Viking fan. I also have more pirate sets, but they're by brothers, who is in university right now.

[Mister Phes]

In university huh?  Right at this very minute?  Well if so sneak into where ever he's got them stored and ummm borrow them indefinitely.  He wouldn't miss them would he?  My recommendation to anyone who has friends or relevatives with pirate LEGO (especially if they're at an age where they no longer give a hoot about it) is to acquire it from them before they get some crazy notion of selling it on eBay or some home sale.

[Lost Viking]

Haha, well my brother would do nothing like that he is as you say... an AFOL. He would never think of selling them. He currently has them on display in his room.

[Mister Phes]

Then you have no other choice but to assassainate him.  Unless of course you can negotiate a time share arrangement...

[Lost Viking]

LOL, well... whats your weapon of choice :D

[Mister Phes]

I suggest you prepare an ambush for him, using his own pirate LEGO!  Set it up so as soon as he enters his room all the cannons go off and they blast him to death.  Of course you may possibly feel bad about the demise of your brother, however it would depend how badly you wish for his pirate LEGO.

Does this brother of your post at EuroBricks?

[Lost Viking]

haha, but I dont have the European shooting cannons! Oh no.

Anyways he doesn't yet, I am trying to get him on.

[Mister Phes]

You two could combine collections...  Does he have much that you don't have?

[Mister Phes]

Or does he completely exist outside of the Internet?

[Lost Viking]

I think he is on legofan,  also his pirate cillection isnt large just 5 or 6 sets.

[Mister Phes]

But is it worth fighting for?

[Lost Viking]

Hmmm... I have to ask my Govenor Imperial Officer... Ok he said to get them back so we could hang the pirates and save the Soldiers. Righto! Move out!

[Mister Phes]

You should be able to make that assessment yourself!  What do Imperial Officers know anyway?

[Lost Viking]

Ok, I'm going in to save the troops!

Ok, what are these sets then?

[Lost Viking]

He has got-6245: Harbor Sentry, 6265: Sabre Island, 6276: Eldorado Fortress, 1481: Pirates Desert Island,
6234: Renegade's Raft. I think this is the complete list. He has them set up in his room. They are all from 1989/91.
