It appears the Classic-Pirates.com blog has been blown out of the water! We have our maintenance crewing working on it right now and expect it will return shortly.

This is true, but I've managed to procure plenty via eBay. So yes, this piece is still in existence, but no, not currently in production.

For the first time ever I went to Toyworld and they actually had the Impulse sets in stock. The sales people told me the Pirate and Space Police Impulse sets were very popular which required them to restock the shelves daily.

Does the new Imperial Flagship count?

Even ship cooks have to defend themselves against marauding pirates

It certainly hasn't been easy to contain the excitement all this time...

Start with Brisbane, then conquer Brisbane, then the rest of Australia, then the entire world! Mwuahahahahaha! :pir-skull: Australians talk funny. I couldn't understand a word they were saying.

Actually, the Long John Silver sea food restaurant chain opened a restaurant in Kings Park, Sydney, however they closed it in 2007 due to poor sales. So a Pirate themed restaurant has been attempted in Australia but unfortunately did not succeed. Obviously because the franchisee didn't consult Classic-Pirates.com on how to make a pirate theme venture succeed.

Ah, so you lads have found a picture of the Imperial Ship. Bout time

Would yer like a poll to go with this thread Mr Skywarp, errr... Thomsen?

Ahhhhh... I mean AAAAAAAAAARG!!! What a highly entertaining interview this is, but it appears I had too much grog last night so I'll limit my comments for now.

Well that settles it then... The LEGO Group is doing away with Pirates beyond 2010 so they can focus solely on an Imperial Armada theme

That's right. Without the sales data nobody can determine anything for certain, and therefore any conclusions would be speculation based on assumption. And we all know assumption is the mother of

Besides a particular Indiana Jones set, which other sets have they been appearing in?

Yep, Pirates should be but unfortunately they aint!

What? Mexico hasn't re-conquered Texas yet? Where is the might of the Imperial Armada when ya need em? It seems I missed the line "I live in central Texas if that helps" and yes it does help, but only if the reader actually reads the entire post!

Ah yes, that's right Captain Zuloo. You have a special treat for everybody don't you?

I saw the Young Endeavour last year (well technically it was New Year's Eve so it could have been the year before) and I was rather disappointed. It's far more modernised than I was expecting, I thought it would have a vintage-appearing exterior and the modern equipment would be under the deck. Alas, that was not to be, the materials used for the exterior look far too recent for a replica ship.

Now all we need is a SYSTEM scale ship like this manned by Imperial Guards.

They have a MySpace page with some interesting artwork: Checkout their MySpace page to hear more of their music, see more awesome artwork and follow where they're touring.

Hi PittSOB, which country are you from? The new Pirate LEGO seems to be more abundant in some areas than it is in others.

Was it an indepedent toy store or part of a larger chain? Better still, could you possibly name the store?

Wasn't this set was released as a Legend a few years back?

Blue Coats coming in the future? Do you know something that we all don't?

I've got all the English version several times over, haven't got them in any other languages though.
