I made for the Dutch "Hyvers" (Kind of dutch facebook) a Hyves-page for the Lego Pirates fans

Lego Pirates is a Lego theme launched in 1989 with pirates, soldiers, islanders and sailing ships. The theme is seen in mini-figure scale, Duplo and 4 subjects (Jack Stone series)

The original Pirate sets included the first Lego figurines, without the traditional lead with only two eyes and a smile, she had a number of different texts, including print hair, facial hair and eyepatches. Besides the Pirates released for 1989 were "blue" forces Governor Broadside Ballads's (aka Imperial Soldiers ", but explicitly as" Directors "on page 16 of the 1990 American catalog), the pirates to fight. A comic book entitled" The Gold Medallion "was also released that year, as a ladybird book series. In 1992, the governors replaced by the" Red "Imperial Guards. Both the government and the Imperial Guards used two crossed guns under a crown as their emblem.

A sub-theme loosely based on a Polynesian concept, the Islanders, was released in 1994. In 1996 Lego changed the entire "feel" of the Pirates line and made the Spanish-influenced. This meant the Imperial Guards were replaced by the Imperial Armada, strongly based on the Spanish Armada. Along with this change, the pirates were also new faces. For the year 1997 ended with the Lego pirate theme, it came as a shock to the fans, because the Pirates line had always been a big seller.

Two sets of 1996 Pirates, "Red Beard Runner" and "Armada flagship, and a 1994 Islanders set," Enchanted Island ", was reissued in 2001. The 1989 Pirates sets Black Seas Barracuda 'was updated and reissued in 2002 for the Lego Legends series. The Pirates theme was brought to April 2004 and Duplo for 2006. Lego Pirates again in minifigure scale in 2009, just in time for the themes 20th birthday.

I like google translate.

I don't have time to read it right now though.

Nice idea! Although having the text over the picture of the Skulls Eye Schooner is really difficult to read.

I got one member! ... it is a start

Seems that there are not many dutch hyvers who play with pirates lego.

[Mister Phes]

Well done! One is better than none!

But like I said in my earlier post, the text over the Skulls Eye Schooner image is quite difficult to read, so perhaps the presentation of your Hyves page.

But we do have a few Dutch or Dutch language speakers on crew, including Bonaparte, Lord Admiral Zorro, Captain Greenhair, Captain Blakmoor, Cap'n Kirk just to name a few.
