Birds and Wigs and Bluecoats, oh my.
LEGO Collectable Minifigure Series has once again given us some amazing new figures for use in he Pirate Theme. A new captain, Bluecoat redesign, and islander should be finding their way into our MOCs soon. For me, however, the most exciting parts are the seagull and the powder wig.

Get Moving, Trouble Comes
It's not often we see such a great mix of rock work, architecture, and landscape in a small pirate build, but majkol87 has really come out swinging with his first MOC. Lots of details packed into this small scene from Pirates of the Caribbean. Check out all the photos to see what Jack and Gibbs are running from as they head straight for the house.

The Bell Tolls for None
Utilizing some great detailing techniques and adding a bit of action, eurotrash has created this solid crumbling bell tower. Jack Sparrow and Wil Turner are just watching the redcoats taking care of some repairs or maybe even stealing some supplies. At least the horse can get a short water break.

Spruce Up Your Room
Simply detailed. Adding these furniture items to an Officer's cabin is a great final touch to a ship or even as part of a vignette or comic scene. It's great how WesVDell has created some iconic furniture and kept it in a nice minifig scale without looking bulky or out of place.

6260 - Shipwreck Island
It may be small, but it's a worthy addition to any pirate layout. Two minifigs, two animals, a printed island baseplate and gold! This maybe one of the best values in the line, from way back in 1989. Check out the full MISB unboxing and review and decide for yourself.
