Although not 100% a Pirates creation, this MOC was so well done that we just had to frontpage it. Forum user Ralph_S demonstrates his talent with the brick with an outstanding pleasure cruiser. One very interesting part of this MOC, other than the SNOT hull, is the clever use of round 1 x 1’s for furled sails. If only there were a few stripey shirts and some bandanas on the crew…

General Armendariz, the brickflick genius pressed into the Classic-Pirates.com crew, has treated us with another oscar-winning motion picture: Shipyard Shenanigans, Episode One: “Last words, either way.” It tells the humorous story of a man’s last words as his ship crumbles into the sea – but I won’t spoil the surprise; be sure to grab some popcorn, turn off the lights, and switch on the show!
You may notice many familiar faces starring in the flick, Captain Zuloo, Mister Phes, and Captain Blackmoor among them. Some viewers may wonder, “What is this Shipyard Shenanigans?” Well, we have the same question for you! Sail by the Classic-Pirates.com forum and tell Armendariz your thoughts and opinions.
Although not a huge pile of minifig animation, forum user curtisrlee shares with us a cheesy brickflick with some nice mouth animation. An amusing little piece, this is a great way to start out in our great community!

Classic-Pirates.com LEGO Ambassador Bonaparte brings us sad news this time. The pirates line will discontinue in the middle of 2010! Lucky enough it is a break, which means the Pirate theme will come back sometime in the future. But for how long do we have to wait? Some people think it will be a year, other people are afraid it takes another couple of years like the previous Pirates line. Since the new Pirate sets sell like hot cakes, and all the positive upcoming Pirate sets speculations it is unexpected news the line will take a break during 2010.
Share your thoughts about the fact the Pirates line discontinues here!
But don’t give up the ship! A petition has started to keep the Pirates theme running! Sign it here!
