The leak is actually showing it to be a very 1989 Captain Red Beard build. And exclusive to the LEGO House which makes me pissed!!

I'm just crazy enough to like them all... I just enjoy the wackiness I suppose. The SeaCow was an awesome steam punk style vessel, the Vidiyo stage/ship I really enjoyed for the crazy figs as well as the music angle. But then again, I even find stuff to enjoy about the 4+ Juniors pirates sets!

Oh, it 100% for sure is going to be completely nonsensical! Butttttt.... It could still end up being fun! Or... it could also end up giving the MOC builders lots of cool parts to work with. In any case, I am interested to see what comes of it all. I actually liked the whole Punk Pirate band from Vidiyo. Was it really "pirates"? Nope! But it was fun! And the prints and pieces were great.

I'm actually very interested to see what this theme is all about and how the sets turn out. There is certainly potential for some Pirate-adjacent goodies!

The man, the myth, the LEGEND!!!

Welcome to the forums @CaptainDarkNStormy! I immediately recognized your work from the CP FB Group (and maybe I've seen them on Instagram too...?)! I'm a big fan of reimaginings of classic Pirates sets with modern building techniques. Being primarily a classic Pirates set collector myself, its the MOCs that harken back to the originals (either in style and aesthetic or in concept) are some of my absolute favorites. You've done a fantastic job of capturing the essence of the originals with your fantastic recreations.

Ooooooohh!! That would be an awesome piece!

This fort is great! The buildings certainly are nicely designed and look wonderful, but for me, it's the landscape and the whole scene that really ends up standing out! Wonderfully done.

Not to toot my own horn... But, *toot*toot* https://www.instagram.com/px_chris_buildswithbricks/

This is an absolutely gorgeous ship @Marooned Marin! The contorting of the hull is absolutely spot on, and I love the colors! The mixing of the different browns has really added some life to it instead of just a blur of reddish brown. As you know, I'm very partial to the Bluecoats, so I'm happy to see them in this build too along with the blue, yellow, and white accents which just invoke the Caribbean Clipper beautifully. This ship is definitely a wonderful compliment to POBB!

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I personally would rather see the Jolly Roger than I would another Black Pearl. Not that a big fancy D2C Black Pearl wouldn't be gorgeous, but I've been really wanting some more Peter Pan stuff from LEGO ever since the first Disney CMF series. Unfortunately, TLG doesn't seem super keen on doing a whole lot of minifigure Disney sets, so my fear would be that anything they released would be minidolls instead, which just doesn't hold the same appeal to me at all.

Perhaps not as large scale as you're looking for, but my Pirates layout was absolutely set up as a battel between the Imperial Bluecoats and the Pirates!

Looks like you've achieved some beautiful shaping in the hull!

In that case... nope! I think I have at least 5 sets worth of those minifigs loose in my collection.

Thank ya! My copy of 6251 is MISB (well... sealed box anyways, not exactly 100% mint ). 6252 and 6204 are open.

Today was a great day! A most precious package arrived. I was able to acquire, at a price I was willing to pay, the last minifigure pack with box that I needed to complete my entire collection of the Classic Pirates theme! The rareness of this, which only had a limited North American release, means that it demands quite a high price on the aftermarket. So I was thrilled to be able to buy it for a much more palatable price! Super happy to have all of the minifigure packs together now!

Fantastic blog piece again @Marooned Marin! It was a pleasure to learn about this build and revel in the amazing details of it!

Very interesting use of orange for the roofs and highlights, not a choice often seen. I think it ends up working well here though. Supported!

Just... wow.

Another fun build for sure!

Our beloved Pirates made a splash appearance on Jeopardy this week!

This is an absolutely incredible build!

This is such a fantastically contoured piece! Looking forward to seeing more of the entire layout once this beast is completed.

All the lime green just emphasizes that something naughty is afoot!

This was certainly a great addition to the video! Congratulate your wife on behalf of us for her fantastic job with the song. I hadn't really noticed that poem before in my browsing through old Bricks n' Pieces magazines, but I can now see what a perfect inspiration for a song it was.
