The Classic-Castle tags were issued when Classic-Castle.com was severely hacked and down for an extended period of time. Those special tags were offered to Classic-Castle refugees while they waited for Classic-Castle.com to be restored.

As AFOLs have proved there are thousands of used ideas for future LEGO Pirate sets. There were no Pirate themed sets released in 1998, and in 1997 new releases were only available in Northern America, most other regions missed out on sets like Pirates Perilous Pitfall and the Cross Bone Clipper.

According to the LEGO Group's cusomter service it was because they wanted to explore other themes... But there must be more to it than that...

The LEGO Group is conducting a quick survey! It's just three questions so it won't take much of your time, but the feedback helps the LEGO Group to improve their products and your participation demonstrates continued interest in the LEGO Pirates theme. However, a special in-depth survey is coming in late March. Take me to the survey!!!

Yer welcome laddie! But exactly how did you find it useful? Extreme creative liberties were taken when writing that.

I've lost count of the number of sets and loose pieces I have... I but I'd estimate pirates is about... 97%

Here is Classic-Pirates.com own unofficial interpretation of the Islanders: Guide to the Pirate Mini-Figures - Part IV - The Islanders

You mean the Imperial Guards? The Imperial Armada represented the Spanish...

Bump! If you're interested, please continue the discussion in the Eurobrick's 4th LDD RCB thread.

Perhaps it would be wise if you didn't post while you're mad - you may regret what you've said at a later date. But yes, I do understand your concern, Classic-Pirates.com should be blogging more MOCs than what's been blogged lately. I'm conducting an investigation to determine why this is. If you have concerns over how the blog is managed please express them via PM to a Moderator or myself.

We acquired a proprietary script called phpBay and then spent another couple of hundred hours modifing it suit the purpose. So it wasn't what you'd call a "plug and play" addition to the website.

Here is the beta release of our eBay Search Tool. Hardcore eBay users probably won't see the point in this tool, but whose who aren't savvy with eBay's search functions might find some benefits. As this is only a beta version there may be bugs and we're also open to feedback on how we could improve the tool. So feel free to leave questions and feedback in this thread. www.classic-pirates.com/auctions ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Help Section I'm not getting any search results! Try broadening your search as much as possible. The means remove any values you have in the Keyword/Set Number, eBay Seller, Location and Price input fields. Also remember Pirate LEGO isn't popular in some eBay regions and you may have to change the selected Country to a nearby country in your region. I want to search for a particular set Change the Pre-defined Search dropdown to "ALL LEGO" and enter the LEGO set number into the Keyword/Set Number input field. For example to search excusively for 4195 Queen Anne's Revenge simply enter 4195 into the Keyword/Set Number input field. You DO NOT need to enter the word "LEGO". Currently you'll need to know the set number, however in the future we will provide a convenient dropdown of set names and numbers. Remember to only enter ONE set number at a time. I keep getting too many unwanted search results You can remove certain keywords from search results by entering a negative keyword in the Keyword/Set Number input field. A "negative keyword" is simply the word you wish to remove proceeded by a minus. For example: -minifig will remove all auctions containing the word "minifig" You can also use asterix as a wildcard. For example: -minifig* will remove "minifig", "minifigs" and "minifigures" from your search results. You can remove as many keywords as you wish, just seperate each negative keyword with a space. For example: -minifig -jack -soldier What's that list on the right hand side? This is an experiment. It's a list of other LEGO auctions available on eBay.

I was the one who added the picture. Thought I'd give someone else the honour of resizing it.

The Imperial Armada definitely needs more sets and this is a worthy addition! Unfortnately in terms of official sets, this would be far too brick intensive... On a side note, threads usually receive much more attention with at least one picture at the top.

We did have somebody managing our YouTube Channel but he seems to have faded into obscurity. The YouTube Channel will probably stay that way until a replacement comes along.

Well... Uhhhh... Both torsos are red and have belts... But that's kind of where the simularities end. The gnome torso doesn't look very militant but if you were desperate to expand your Imperial Armada army, it might be better than nothing.

But we do have other positions (not Blog editors) we need to fill... Stay tuned!

Dreamweb, thank you for contributing to the Classic-Pirates.com. Enjoy your well deserved promotion.

Not as dumb as Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber

Just to be clear these aren't Ratshot's personal auctions. He's just posted a selection of Pirate LEGO auctions from the US and UK. It's part of our fundraising efforts for future contests.
