El Bucanero Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Here's a bath towel I bought in LEGOland Germany. And yes, the original pirate captain is on it! But, no, that's not the sillhoute of the BSB, but the one from the duplo ship... Don't know what made that skull and crossbones go crazy though... I thought you guys might like it. Maybe it's a sign of a pirate revival! I've seen enough of these signs in LEGOland... Let's stay positive, right? Mr Tiber Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted August 2, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) Nice towel! Is this a big one? Like those you sometimes see at the beach? Edited August 2, 2007 by Bonaparte Quote
simonwillems Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Nice find! And a lot better than the black towel with some bricks on it preceeding this one. I like your (new?) signature by the way! *y* Quote
Scouty Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Awsome! Let's hope all of this Pirates things bring back the revival of a good pirates theme! Quote
El Bucanero Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 Nice towel! Is this a big one? Like those you sometimes see at the beach? Unfortunatly not, it's 60 x 120 cm (24 x 47 "). More the kind of towel you take to the swimming pool. But I like it some much I don't want to use it. :-P Afraid the colours will fade after washing or when in touch with chlorine. I think you can only buy it in LEGOland (Germany only perhaps) so perhaps it's more a collector's item. Although, I think I would use it if it was a big one. Nice find! And a lot better than the black towel with some bricks on it preceeding this one.I like your (new?) signature by the way! *y* Thanks, yes it's new! Did it make you click it? Quote
Lord Beckett Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Thanks, yes it's new! Did it make you click it?Mr Tiber It did for me. :-$ Quote
El Bucanero Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 It did for me. :-$ Great, my evil plan is working! :skel1: Mr Tiber Quote
Shadows Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 That *is* a nice towel, shame those things never end up in the LEGO stores here in the US... Oooh, look. *fights it* MUST. NOT. CLICK. SIG. AAaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! *clicks* Quote
TalonCard Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 The towel seems a bit childish for me. Ah yes. Darn, but I hate childish things. Now, if you'll all excuse me, I'm going to play with my toy pirate ship and make them fight the smiling plastic soldier men. ;) Sorry, couldn't resist. One of my favorite non-brick Pirate collectables is the hat Jolly Roger hat I brought back from the LEGO store in Orlando. Yeah, it's Jack Stone inspired, but it's almost like Red Beard's. :) TC Quote
El Bucanero Posted August 3, 2007 Author Posted August 3, 2007 The towel seems a bit childish for me. Mmmmmh... I think it's the crazy skull and crossbones making it childish. For the rest, I think it's a good way to show: I'm a LEGO fan and proud of it! Mr Tiber Quote
SirNadroj Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Mmmmmh... I think it's the crazy skull and crossbones making it childish. For the rest, I think it's a good way to show: I'm a LEGO fan and proud of it!Mr Tiber Yeah, I don't like the skull and crossbones, but it is still classy and classic. And I clicked your sig, Mr. Tiber! *sing* Quote
El Bucanero Posted August 3, 2007 Author Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) Oooh, look. *fights it* MUST. NOT. CLICK. SIG. AAaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! *clicks* And I clicked your sig, Mr. Tiber! *sing* Whoohoo it partially working! People are clicking it! Now I only have to figure out a way to make them comment on my ship...

El Bucanero Posted August 3, 2007 Author Posted August 3, 2007 How long ago did you buy this? I bought it on the 18th of July 2007. Quote
SirNadroj Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Why doesn't LEGO makes this available on shop.lego.com? Is it a LEGOLAND exclusive? Quote
El Bucanero Posted August 3, 2007 Author Posted August 3, 2007 Why doesn't LEGO makes this available on shop.lego.com? Is it a LEGOLAND exclusive? Yeah, it think so. Why would they put LEGOLAND pirate on it if it wasn't a LEGOland exlcusive? X-D Mr Tiber Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted August 5, 2007 Governor Posted August 5, 2007 I bought it on the 18th of July 2007. That is rather recent indeed. All the recent Pirate LEGO paraphernalia I've seen has been focused towards the 2004 4+ designs. Its very interesting that The LEGO Group should start using a Classic Pirates design - unless of course they just stumbled across a supply of towels that's been sitting in a warehouse for the past 15 years. Does the towel have a small tag on it specifying which year the design is copyrighted to? Quote
Scouty Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 It looks pretty new, I'm pretty sure they made new ones and decided to put classical guy on because they know we be mad if they put 4+ guy on. Quote
