    [POLL] Next Pirates GWP

    There are a lot of really great choices here, but ultimately I went with Sabre Island... I love that set! But I'll probably change my mind soon. I would honestly take ANY of these as a remake GWP with glee!

    Future LEGO Pirates Set Speculation

    Might actually be a HP set I purchase!

    Classic treasure map - vector image

    Thank you @TalonCard super helpful!! Do you know of a better quality scan of the SES instructions than the commonly available set online? Just to share the resources with other interested parties, I also found this graphic from the Pirates III line which is quite nice as well. https://www.flickr.com/photos/75447641@N05/16095377407/in/photostream/

    Which island type do you like the most?

    I mean, I'm a Classic guy... so always the classic printed baseplate.
  5. Does anybody know if a vector (or very high definition jpg/png) image has been recreated of the classic Pirates treasure map? I've been searching around, but haven't found one yet. I am hoping to look at using it as a background to signage I'm making for my next big convention display coming up. (Alternatively - if anyone has any suggestions for other backgrounds that definitely scream Classic LEGO Pirates I'd love to hear them. Parchment style paper is one I'm looking at.) Thanks!
  6. Unfortunately they haven't released the cannon holder in reddish brown since 2016. Many of us are impatiently waiting for this piece to come back to the market again so we can comfortably replace the many broken ones in our collection.
  7. Who else has a part of their collection that most folks in the community just looks at and shake their head in bewilderment? For me, that absolutely most silliest part of my collection has the be the 4 Juniors Pirates sets of 2004. I love my complete collection of these sets even though they are much maligned by most AFOLs due to their extreme juniorization and the Jack Stone style figures (the figures seem to be the biggest point of contention). I just find them to be fun little sets, and even the figures have a charm to them. So here's a little look at the complete theme which consists of a total of 10 sets: 6 regular sets, 3 figure packs, and 1 polybag. I'm lucky enough to even have the boxes for most of the sets including sealed boxes for the figure packs and one other. Here are the three boxed figure packs: And then finally all of the boxes I have for the series and the instructions: (This post is dedicated with love to our illustrious leader @Mister Phes whom I know just absolutely loathes these sets! )

    Not a problem @Yperio_Bricks! I plan on scanning the box and instructions soon-ish (maybe this weekend if I find the time) so that Huw can get the Brickset database listing updated. I can post them here too if folks would like.

    I do have my copy of the set in-hand as of yesterday afternoon.

    No, I don't believe that is has been. I kind of have a feeling that it's not really "supposed" to release until the summer season opens up at LEGOLand parks. It seems that some industrious sellers have been able to get their hands on it early and hence it ending up on eBay for highly inflated prices.

    Purely financial reasons... but as I said in the follow-up post, another did pop up and I did pull the trigger this time. I should have it in hand next week.

    Welp... another one popped up on eBay for the original price I saw (still too expensive, but oh well) so I jumped on it this time! Looking forward to doing some comparisons to the awesome ( @Mister Phes) 4 Juniors Redbeard ship!

    Pirates - Early Character and Comic Designs

    Wow @TalonCard!! This is all absolutely fantastic stuff! I was enthralled when I first stumbled upon all of the material that Sadie posted all of those years ago, and to now get all of this additional information is just so cool! Thank you so much for the work in compiling all of it for us!
