Commodore Hornbricker has just released pictures of his fantastic new Pirates MOC, The Capstan Inn! With a grand feeling of the tudor period, but full of Pirates and scallywags, this model even features an amusing new brand of grog: Hogwarts Express.
Don’t miss The Capstan Inn by Commodore Hornbricker in the Pirate MOC forum!
TheBrickster wants to know…
“What do you like best: vessels and vehicles or bases and buildings?”
Over the past few days, I’ve been in Pirate-mode really enjoying the new 2009 Pirate theme. I have not yet found the new Soldier Fort or the large Pirate Ship, but I’m really looking forward to the fort. I love island and fort sets. As I’ve been looking at all the new pirate sets, it got me asking myself, “What do I enjoy more, Ships or Structures”?

After months of effort, Guss finally produces an amazing Pirate ship. Based on that of the One Piece manga strip, this model is a perfect reflection of the real thing. Guss did a brilliant job capturing details such as the figurehead and the custom sails. This ship sure is a beauty!
Ewok shares with us a clever little vignette depicting a blind pirate – blind because of a barrel! But where the hell did it come from? Using a simple concept and design, this MOC makes a big impression. Check this out and have your laugh for the day!
Hurry on over to the Pirate forum to see Ewok’s ‘Who had turned off the light?’
More photos from Brickworld have been dug up, and some of them are quite impressive. This time, Bluesecrets presents us with her tavern, d’Blue-n Lagoon Saloon. With a nice little cove and docking spaces for your ships, it seems some vikings have heard of this place too…

As more coverage of Brickworld 2009 is released, Mister Phes finds us a great little scenic MOC, a Pirate Volcano created by Classic-Castle.com admin Ben Ellermann. Featuring a light up interior giving the effect of real lava (well, almost real) this nice MOC includes some great techniques including the use of 1 x 2 grey slopes to achieve a stunning random rocky effect.
So hurry over and see Pirate Volcano by Ben Ellermann in the Pirate forum!

As a great addition to the large range of MOCs created by Classic-Pirates.com members, legofox shares with us an amazing ship with an excellent brick built hull and great unique features such as the wooden masts and string rigging. This is a brilliant ship certainly worth a look with bigger pictures.

Once again, Brickforge Apprentice Houndblower brings us news of an upcoming product, premiering at Brickworld this weekend. A scourge, or many-thonged whip, is another unsolved problem for MOCers – to use the official LEGO whip, be it unrealistic with the hooped end, or go with a custom string assembly? The recent Indiana Jones whip provided a solution, but its curled-up nature proved problematic for action posing. Now Imperials can flog unworthy recruits, and pirates torture their prisoners, all in true Brickforge style.
Classic-Pirates.com members Emperor Claudius Rome and Dr Steve bring us news of the appearance of Bluecoats, Caribbean Clippers and Islanders in the upcoming LEGO Battles Game for Nintendo DS, leading to mass-speculation about the future of the Pirate line. The majority seem to wish for Bluecoats to replace the current Redcoats, whilst the appearance of other obsolete themes, such as Mars Mission and Ninja, cause scepticism in others. The matter is complicated further as the governor from the current Pirate line (pictured above, front), is named Broadside in the game, taking the name – and hat – of his forebear…
Join the discussion – and confusion – in the Pirate forum
Meanwhile, general speculation about future sets and their release dates continues:
When will the new sets be released? We already have news of the LEGO Pirate Advent Calender to be released in November, but that doesn’t seem to satisfy everyone. Join the debate!
What do you want to see as new sets? Pure wishful thinking – but Eurobricks members have been right in the past! What’s your dream set?
The return of the morion (Armada helmet) in recent Indiana Jones sets has sparked discussion over a return of the Armada Soldiers. The return of the cutlass piece in an Indiana Jones set preceded the return of the Pirate line – so why not? Share your opinion in the Pirate forum.
Who wouldn’t jump on a lot of three complete Pirates sets, 6248, 6256, and 6236, for only $12.00?
