Forum users Lego12 and Paul Cantu have both reviewed the new Pirate set, 6241 Loot Island. The result is two very different reviews for you to peruse.

As you can see in the above picture the beard piece makes an official apperance in a Pirate set for first time ever and it’s very suited to the Robin Crusoesque mini-figure which it adorns.
Once again Lego12 has packed his review with glorious pictures, so get yourself to the Pirate LEGO Forum to feast your eyes upon them!

Forum user Paul Cantu has also created a review of 6241 Loot Island, while not as comprehensive as Lego12’s review it offers a different perspective of the set.
So once again, get your to the Pirate LEGO Forum to read Paul Cantu’s 6241 Loot Island review.
How much do the new Pirate Sets costs?
Forum user Card has spotted the 2009 pirate sets at a Toys R Us in the USA and he’s kindly shared his findings. We’re not yet certain if these are the recommended retail prices, but you can still check them out in the New Pirate sets at Toys R Us thread.
Once again we’ve discovered another large Imperial Guard army for sale oneBay. These guys look familiar, so maybe they’re up for sale again or maybe the last auction winner was a non-paying bidder. If you’re not prepared to pay then don’t bid!
A grand army awaits your command!
Ensure good relations with your commanding officer!
A grand army awaits your command!
62 soldiers is an instant army, or certainly makes a sizable regiment to an exisiting army! If you’re in need of troops get to the eBay Auction Page and place a bid, or if you’d like to discuss this army visit our Build the grandest army you possibly can thread.
One of our newest members, General Armendariz, has discovered this abnormality: two Lego Imperial Guards, exactly the same, but with different button colors.
This strange difference has already been noticed by multiple members, some of whom have even posted pictures of them. So if you want to discuss this or just want to know more about this phenomenon, then you should head on over to the LEGO Pirate forum!
Did you know that the 6242 Soldier’s Fort set contains a comic? It most certainly does and we have pictures of the comic!
An excerpt from the comic
Of course we’re only going to show you a two frame excerpt here, so if you want to see two pages worth of comic goodness you better get to the LEGO Pirate Forum this instant!
eBay not for you? Keep your eye on our 2009 Pirates sets on Bricklink thread where we will be listing BrickLink sellers with 2009 Pirate LEGO sets in stock.
No problem! Our Pirate Sets Found In Stores! thread has been there from the beginning, reporting every sighting (well as many as we can find) of the news sets. So don’t miss out on the exciting discussion!

Lego12 delivers us a comprehensive set review of the new 6242 Soldier’s Fort. Turns out it’s a Modular Design!

Lego12 has took dozens of pictures which display every facet of this wonderful new set. There are even a few surpirses which have went unnoticed by the general pictures.
Dive into the Pirate LEGO Forum to see this set analysed in scrunitizing detail!
We have pictures of the 2009 Imperial Guard Mini-figures – front and back!
LEGO Pirate Forum user Lego12 has been one of the lucky first to procure the 2009 Pirate LEGO sets. There are set reviews brewing but while they’re being finalised here’s a little something for you… The 2009 Imperial Guard mini-figures!

As you can see the LEGO Group has gone steps further for these new Imperial Guards and incorporated a design into the shakos as well as into the back of the torsos. What a great touch!
“15 men on a dead man’s chest, yo ho ho and a bottle o’ rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest, yo ho ho and a bottle o’ rum!”
The true pirate’s treasure, this MOC is a brilliant one indeed. A life sized dose of grog with great details like a jolly roger on the front, the true pirate in you won’t be able to resist this one!
Last week we showed you a 6286 MISB Skulls Eye Schooner which sold for US $785.00! This week we’ve found a MISB 6285 Black Seas Barracuda stored in acryllic casing – you cannot get any better preserved than that!

Sometimes in an AFOL community, we forget who the LEGO Group’s main target is. So it’s nice to be reminded with such a nice MOC from a younger LEGO enthusiast.
Ward, the nephew of Capt. Kirk’s girlfriend, has created this raft entitled “Shipwrecked Pirates”. At the age of 8, this pirate fan has a bright future ahead of him. After all, he is in good company!
