Lorentzen Posted February 25, 2009 I just stumbled upon these at the danish shop@home Lego store... I think these playing cards look awesome - they're not too expensive either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Spielbrick Posted February 25, 2009 Looks nice. What's weird though: it doesn't have anything in common with the current Pirates line, other than the name. Is this a re-release? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted February 25, 2009 Is this a re-release? Sure as hell, no. This is a first for any LEGO theme I think. I don't recall there ever being any playing cards in the past. And the pictures of the minifigs on the cards are from the new line. Anyway, onto the frontpage it goes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted February 25, 2009 Anyway, onto the frontpage it goes! Good idea about the frontpage, and I like the idea of LEGO playing cards a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dadster Posted February 25, 2009 Those are cool. Looks like they're not avail in the US though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Spielbrick Posted February 25, 2009 And the pictures of the minifigs on the cards are from the new line. Redbeard is coming back?! Gorgeous torso in red. And a maiden, eh? I feel a change in the wind... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brickzone Posted February 25, 2009 €4 is pretty good on price! I'll be buying some if they are still available when I next order (probably Emerald Night - although it would be nice to get that from UK somehow). Quite interesting the way the old torsos/heads/headgear are combined for the characters here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Spielbrick Posted February 25, 2009 Hmm, not trying to burst your bubble, but I think his torso is red on the shown card because it's a diamond card. I assume his torso and also the maiden's torso will be black on spades cards. Bubble bursted. Eeh.., unless you know something we don't I'd say no, those are obviously the classic torso's. I was assuming he did know something we don't. With the wink and all. Cause they sure looked like ancient pirates to me. Apart from Redbeard's colour that is. I have heaps of the ol' rascal right here... In classy, classic black. Would've been nice to see him return with a new torso though. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 24 Posted February 25, 2009 They seem pretty good to me. Only £2.95 in the UK, the artwork on them looks great too. Nice find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricks Posted February 25, 2009 Nice found! They look really awesome, especially the art work. Maybe I will buy them to play a drunken round of skat 'Bricks' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mariann Asanuma Posted February 25, 2009 This is a first for any LEGO theme I think. I don't recall there ever being any playing cards in the past. Actually I have a set of City playing cards from a few years ago. I got it at LEGOLAND California. They weren't drawings either, they were pictures of different minifigs.

Commodore Hornbricker Posted February 25, 2009 They are available online through the lego website in the US for $4.99. Must have just become available today. I'll have to swing by and see if they have any in their store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eeh.., unless you know something we don't I'd say no, those are obviously the classic torso's. Aw, give me a break. I had to shuffle the C-P news around in order to get these onto the frontpage at 2:30 AM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commodore Hornbricker Posted February 25, 2009 Nope...they aren't in my local lego store yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted February 25, 2009 I will get them maybe! They are in Polish SaH too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratshot Posted February 25, 2009 I would love to have these but my sister has a tendency to take and hide my cards, probably thinks im going to gamble for Lego or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoking Posted February 25, 2009 I think it was smart business for TLC to make pirate playing cards. It is another accessory for someone to have. And also, when you feel like playing with cards, and you like Lego, it’s a perfect gift! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Cavinano Posted March 1, 2009 I got one from Legoland! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted March 1, 2009 Technically, there wouldn't be numbers on the cards, if these would be to be around the pirate era. Since not many could read, they just had the number of the symbols on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Bluebeard Posted March 2, 2009 Actually I have a set of City playing cards from a few years ago. I got it at LEGOLAND California. They weren't drawings either, they were pictures of different minifigs. There were also these as well. Bluebeard, out- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbyg Posted March 4, 2009 They look childish. I'm not looking ford to them. I'm a fan of the classic pirates and town Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted March 4, 2009 They look childish. I'm not looking ford to them. I'm a fan of the classic pirates and town I ordered them nonentheless. It depens on how much a fan you are I guess. I am extreme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
