PxChris 568 posts Posted July 22 I have had the awesome opportunity to set up a display of my complete Classic Pirates (1989-1997) collection at a local independently owned aftermarket LEGO store nearby me. Featured is the complete run of sets from the theme's debut in 1989 until it's initial retirement in 1997 along with some other items from my collection such as the comic, storybooks, and German audio cassettes. I'm super grateful for this opportunity to get to share all of these awesome sets with the public for the next month and a half or so. I love this Islanders shirt!

It is from a now defunct designer on Teepublic who had a whole bunch of really awesome shirt designs. Unfortunately he got a cease and desist from TLG and closed down his whole shop. I was able to purchase a few of his designs though before he went out of business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mazin 922 posts Posted July 28 Damn, don't know about other tshirts, but as a fan Kahuka Islanders that's realy an item i'd love to have ;) Great presentation. Speaking of cool items, where did You get that big pistol? Is it custom made, or did it come with any official set? Same thing about the parrot. Anyway, so how long do You intent to keep it in this place? Or is it/was it just for some event? Surely being a Lego fan You will miss being away from Your sets after a while ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely being a Lego fan You will miss being away from Your sets after a while ;) The pistol is 3D printed and came with the 3D printed Captain Redbeard that you can see back behind the cassette tapes. The parrot is a build from the Spring 1992 issue of Brick Kicks magazine. I love it because it's very period-appropriate in build style! The display will be up through August so a pretty good length of display time. I do miss being away from my sets, but I'm also very happy to have them out where so many people can really enjoy them. Plus the store isn't too far from my house so I can make it there pretty often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
