Capn Frank Posted December 26, 2016 The Lego Youtube Channel has posted five videos featuring the misadventures of Captain Brickbeard on December 1, 2016. They're pretty amusing. It's good to see TLG making media content featuring Pirates. A special thanks to TalonCard who found these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TalonCard Posted December 28, 2016 Love the Brickbeard charater design. Does anyone know where his legs are from? Also, I can't look at the pirate in the upper right hand corner and not think of Gates from Black Sails. TC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's talking about the other leg and hips with the printing in every video except the intro video. They look like Cole's latest legs. Hey! I've got Cole's Dragon Set. I could make this version of Brickbeard for the head and legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering how a common piece like the peg-leg would be unknown. That Brickbeard design is certainly interesting for a pirate captain! The Ninjago legs seem like reasonably good parts for pirates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I guess when you get turned into a turkey, you end up needing a rebuild now and then. ) TC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Columbus019 Posted January 8, 2017 Very amusing video, nice to see tlg doing stop motion instead of awful cgi, and, is this a hint athat some future pirate sets me hearties? Columbus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ardelon Posted January 8, 2017 I wonder if this is an attempt to keep Pirates in the publics eye, and whether something can be drawn from that... May sound unlikely, but why else focus on pirates instead of an active theme? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TalonCard Posted January 22, 2017 I can't find the original Rock Raiders United forum thread that I found the link to, but someone mentioned that someone at LEGO has been kicking around the "Pirate fights other random themes" idea for awhile now, so it may be someone's internal persistence more anything else.

Captain Dee Posted February 3, 2017 Haha, funny little series - but seriously, shouldn't the pirates be victorious? This must surely be propaganda... Anyway, they got some screen time, which is always good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
