Flickr sometimes holds Pirate treasure we don’t find in the classic-pirates forum on EB. Mister Phes has found this gem in the rough and now you are seeing it too. Flickr user mm falcon had a great setup at brickworld with multiple islands and both Pirates, and Islanders. You really must see all the pictures to get the whole picture, it’s a great Pirate creation.

That's not the right way to handle those fine drinks!
For as long as anyone can remember there has been an ongoing battle between Bluecoats and Redcoats. Capt. Thomas Foolery shows us this history like the Redcoats remember it. The story is being told to settle the disagreement once and for all. But for how long will it really last? And why do the Redcoats think they are the best?
Find out in Capt. Thomas Foolery’s ToRII-entry “The history of the coats”!
Oh no! He is turning himself into a redcoat!
Using dynamite to blow up just one enemy soldier? That’s quite cruel isn’t it? But a redcoat came up with this idea and was promoted for it! In Kerntechniker’s comic, you’ll see this and more (like some bluecoats getting slaughtered). So if you are a true redcoat, you can’t miss this one! For the bluecoats among us, it’s a good reason for taking revenge in an even more cruel way!
Check out Kerntechniker’s ToRII-entry and more comics in the LEGO Pirate forum!
Want to know how this ends? Take a look in the pirates forum!
The 2nd Tournament of Retribution is running smoothly with many great entries already! For example the entry from Emperor Claudius Rome, in which he turns bluecoats into redcoats (and not in a soft way!). And KingoftheZempk his entry with many cruel things like fish-slapping and throwing fruits and vegetables!
Check out The Execution by Emperor Claudius Rome, Brothers in Arms by KingoftheZempk…

One of the best Lego ships ever made!
And another fine vessel is almost ready to sail the brick-oceans! It’s the French frigate Achille, with 22 guns on the gundeck, 6 on the topdeck, 6 swivel guns and 2 bow chasers (so be careful!). This ship combines all the best details and techniques of other ship builders + Perfectionist his own inventive ideas. A must see for all the ship-lovers among us! It already has a perfect rigging and is also going to get sails, making it even more impressive!
Sail to the Frigate Achille WIP by Perfectionist now!
Is this really the end of Captain Blue Hair?
He’s a Global Moderator, but also a blue coat. Has this legend really been captured and brought to justice? It sure looks like the red coats have finally gotten the best of Captain Blue Hair, or have they???

A nice diorama, with 2(!) Imperial Flagships!
Guss finally has a new camera and a new job, so now he’s ready to be back on Eurobricks! For the occasion, he shows us some pictures of his diorama at Japan Expo 2010, in Paris. It’s a very nice one with a strange and funny combination of Space- and PirateLEGO. There are also a lof of fine buildings with great details, and things like spaceships coming out of a rock with forts and houses on top of it. And don’t miss the poor guy in the barrel!

The LEGO Group Wants to Hear From You!
As Adult or Teenage Fans of LEGO, you bring an important perspective to the LEGO Group. We respect your creativity and passion for the LEGO brand.
Since December 2008, we have done quarterly online surveys to learn more about the needs and wishes of global AFOL (defined as ages 20+) and TFOL (defined as ages 13-19) communities. For your information, we have listed the key findings from the latest survey in April 2010 below. Now we ask you to take the survey again. It include some of the same questions, but also a set of new questions for you.
Please take a few moments to complete this short online survey to let us know your opinion about the LEGO Group, then tell us how you went in the LEGO Pirates Forum.
You might notice that the link refers to the LEGO Kids Inner Circle; this is because Satmetrix, which hosts that site, is also supporting our efforts to track AFOL/TFOL opinions. Rest assured that this survey is for AFOL’s and TFOLs only.
Here are some of the key findings from the first quarter 2010 survey:
Very interesting findings, so we follow up with some more questions about online behavior in this 2nd quarter survey.

One sail is enough to participate in combat!
It may still be a WIP, but the sloop of war HMS Borea is already looking very impressive! It has a good colourscheme, some nice details on the deck and a very experienced crew. And do you think that Captain K. has forgotten an important feature? Then don’t hesitate to share thoughts with him and your idea might actually be added to this -already- very fine vessel! Want to see more of this ship? Then here’s what to do:

A secluded island infested with Pirates
When Pirates need to get away they find a place where you can only gain access from a single point. Seclusion is the name of the game for pirates. Karlo has a MOCpages account that was recently discovered by classic-pirates scouts and low and behold he posted his work on EB. There are many more beautiful MOC’s just like this.

Are more redcoats meeting their demise?
A gold croissant? Happy Bluecoats, General Redwaters head!?! The bluecoats are up to something, and in the Tournament of Retribution II there are no limits to what can be done. Check out the thread for more pictures and to find out just how this redcoat tragedy came to be, you won’t be disappointed.
See the whole comic unfold in the Pirate Forum.
A typical day in the fort...
A new Classic-Pirates.com user Brig. Brick has built this nice-looking soldiers’ fort, cleverly using the cool Coast Guard-theme baseplate.
This Pirate-themed Lego creation is full of details, such as the jail, the treasury and lots of other rooms and secret passages. Make sure to check them all out!

The six modules together!
Eurobricks member Swash Buckler has been working on six modules, which create the harbour of Tortuga when connected to eachother! Each module is crammed with details, and each module is actually already a great creation on it’s own. Tortuga is a cramped town, and Swash Buckler really gives it the feeling of the good old pirate days!
