Standing at least a hundred feet tall in the midst of the great ocean is Pirates Rock. A sort of mix between a  sacrificial and execution platform for pirates, scum and the like. This time a scurvy band of Pirates have captured a poor Redcoat. After stealing his treasure they have become bored and are throwing him into the snapping jaws of the hungry shark below.

Snap!

Rupi, a well renowned vignette builder has produced this latest MOC. It features a tall stack, the perfect location for a Pirate hideout. One of the most interesting features of the MOC is that at the top the brick structure turns on it’s side allowing for the jutting edge where you can see the Redcoat being pushed off. The Shark’s splash adds extra energy into the scene. Sacrificial platform or just somewhere to feed the sharks? Say what you think in the forum.

Great forum user Admiral Green Buns shows us that he is also a great brick flick director! Not a long animation and not the best quality image, but clearly a brilliant piece of work with humour all around!

Anyone for a heated debate? Forum member David Thomsen brings up the question: Now that we know there will be no new sets in 2010, what will we have in 2011? Is there a chance for POTC? Or should The LEGO® Group stick with Classic LEGO Pirates? What do you think?

Voice yerself on the matter in the Pirates forum!
