Link one Link two Yeah, I'm getting more and more convinced that's him.

Randall Flagg, the embodied evil, this time taking the face of a cruel pirate.

No, first they should catapult the captured Spaniard, then the skeleton to get better aim and finally when the targetting sequence is over they'd catapult the pirate.

Since there are only two pirates they can flip the coin. There's also the skeleton but it'd be hard for him to explain himself once he's already landed. However he can be catapulted to attract attention, in a very brutal way.

Perhaps it's because they already invented a submarine? :)

What about this one: It's called Mutiny and it's a bit inspired by Norro's idea from Third pirate captain thread. This would include a ship, not a very huge one, wide hull with two middle sections. Apart from that it would contain two lifeboats, two sharks and eight pirates. The idea of this set is that the crew has mutinied and they have a new captain now. The old captain and two of his comrades are sent away on one of the lifeboats, in which they sit chained, and presumably are going to face death of hunger/thirst or be eaten by sharks or whatever. The sharks are swimming in circles around the boat, tempted by their possible prey. The other five pirates remain on the ship. Of course this scenario will be suggested by the set's name and the pictures seen on the box, and if you want you can just make a regular ship out of it, with happy crew which isn't eager to mutiny. The captain being sent to death can be Redbeard, but with his captain's hat removed (perhaps we'll see his hair?). The hat will be worn by the new captain (perhaps Rummy - I always liked that early Pirate-line minifig).

Carribean Clipper really isn't that small and weak. If you use all four gun ports and arm it with four cannons it will have about the same firepower as BSB and SES, but it's smaller so can be harder to hit. Then of course one can say that if you use SES's all gun ports you can have 8 cannons. The Imperial Flagship has four gun ports as well, however there isn't enough room to arm it with more than 2 cannons at the same time.

He meant it's too small to contain two lines' VIPs.

So these Lego pirate ships actually have toilets?

The BSB just has this specific dignity and magnificence the SES doesn't.

The set has this little device than can catapult mnifigs. I'm sure it's a great thing for kids to play with, however this raises a question - what purpose would such a mechanism serve on a ship, wrecked or not?

Well, that's true to the same degree as saying that Renegade Runner or Cross Bone Clipper cannot compete with Caribbean Clipper. It's the one magic ship that is neither big nor small :)

That's just a rule this set is supposed to break and that's exactly why I came up with its idea.

My list is updated again, check out page 3 of this thread! :)

Got one today! No box (got it together with Red Beard Runner and everything was packed into this ship's box). The parts of these two sets were mixed, however! Black bricks were in one separate bag, white were in another... Now that's something I appreciate.

Now I can finally actually make this guy. The only thing that made it impossible for me to do it before was the lack of the proper head, however today I received two of them - one in each set I got.

I just received the Red Beard Runner! I must say there's one category in which this ship beats the rest. It's the crew. Three rare and great-looking torsos (two with anchor tatoos, one "Pirate Open Jacket over Brown Vest Pattern") plus great Ironhook's torso (though I still claim it's not Ironhook himself in this particular set) and equally great torso with "Pirate Green Vest, Shirt, and Belt Pattern", the one we've been discussing here. Now if only I get some free time and finish the construction of my merchantman, I'll start making a MOC based on some of this ship's parts (I already have a few ideas)!

Yes, that's one possibility... However I don't have any Lego bananas. :)

No other minifigs, just the two opponents and a shark. I imagine it to be just a part of the fort, one wall damaged by cannonballs standing on the shore and sea just below it. The set would be about the size of Broadside's Brig or maybe a little bigger Cannon Cove.

Here it is, in the lower left corner. Thanks for someone called "obscurance" from brickshelf for using his picture. :)

I think that would go to section other than "Castle & Pirates" so please post a link to that topic here if you make it... I don't frequently browse other sections ;) If you don't make it I'll probably PM you. And thanks for your help!

So you're saying the Armada Flagship sunk this one? Fascinating... :)

I don't think Caribbean Clipper should be mentioned here as IMO it belongs to the big ships. However since it is here I of course voted for it once again, because it's the best of those in question.

One BSB down. This must've been quite a view for Broadside and his troops.

Well, if we look at the time the theme is supposed to take place, Vikings are much closer to Castle than Pirates, they use similar weapons as knights did and there are monsters in their sets (Castle had its dragons). However those similarities are not enough to call them part of the Castle line, so I chose the first option.
