Look what we've found! 62 Imperial Guards/Soldiers on eBay with 6266 Cannon Cove and 6265 Saber Island thrown in for good measure! A rather sizeable army indeed!

Would you like to command these troops?
It seems almost everyone wants to build a bigger army so auctions like this really help - if you can win them of course.
Discuss this eBay find in the LEGO Pirate Forum or place a bid on eBay - who knows, you might become the commander of this grand army!

Hippotam writes "Here's a quick one. I build a raft for a larger diorama, but it didn't really fit there. I liked it though, so I assembled this quick vignette"

That pirate certainly appears to be in a spot of bother! Dash to the LEGO Pirate Forum to discuss Hippotam's "Fire on the deck!" and discover the fait of our misfortunate friend.
