Nay, last LEGO Store in me country closed down in 2018, hence I cannot obtain such figures unless whilst travelling abroad.  I might, however, possibly pick few of those torsos up on BL for that vessel project of mine (which has been stuck in one phase for the past 6 months ).

I was able to pick up a few of the Pirate skeleton figure at my closest LEGO store yesterday! It's a really fun torso.

Did you happen to ask the staff about the upcoming Soldiers set while you were there?

I did not.

I've found that I'm mostly better informed than the LEGO store staff when it comes to stuff like that...

Apparently someone in the Classic Pirates Facebook Group was told by a staff member to save for the upcoming pirate set.  So maybe the employees of those stores have more intel...

Anyways... where's the photos of yer new crew member?

My BAM tower had both of these dual moulded legs in stock, and while the red & black ones may have been the "intended" legs for this figure, I actually quite prefer the dark tan & brown ones.

Can we please use this photo in the blog plost?

So "dual moulded is the correct term for those legs - meaning the black and red are plastics of two different colours, rather than one of the colours being printed over the moulded legs?

So are these only available for shipping in Australia? Even just googling "lego-build-a-minifigure-3-pack," the result I was provided was AU customers only.

Just the one, as part of a 3-pack.  
Couldn't find the black sword! 

Or this torso:

 

I did find the hair/hatpiece. Chose that, since I really don't like the 'angry' skull captains hat. 

my laptop...

Wait a minute, is this hat/ hairpiece available at the BAM towers??

No, it was.
At least, that's what the LEGO Store employee told me.
It was an old BAM-Minifig that was still on a website, I think that Australian one.
Edit: found it: https://lego.bricksmegastore.com/collections/lego-build-a-minifigure-3-pack -> seventh figure.
So I thought it woud still be in the BAM-tower.

Maybe, with some luck, you can still find that hairpiece in the BAM-tower at your LEGO Store.
As a 'leftover', but I wouldn't count on it.
