These redcoats seem to have found their favourite type of food.
What is the brown stuff those redcoats are eating? Could it have something to do with rats? It probably does because it’s an entry for the Rat Award! Oky Wan has made both a very funny and a very disgusting entry, certainly worth to take a look at!

Stash2Sixx - our wealthiest member so far...
Many of us, the fans of LEGO Pirates, have those gold coins that are included in many Pirate sets. They come in values of 10, 20, 30 and 40. Have you ever tried adding all of your coins up, like real money, to find out how rich you are?
Some Classic-Pirates.com users have already done so, and it turns out that our richest member so far is Stash2Sixx, who has a total amount of 23 360 in gold! He even posted a picture of his treasure.
Do you want to show us your gold coins? Or perhaps you have even more coins than this? Or do you want to see the full list of our wealthiest users so far?

Although it was a French army, it was filled mainly with Belgians.
After all the well-suited armies standing perfect in line and shooting at the same time, Michaelozzie has now made an army with a far more ragged look and formed out of volunteers. Usually you can guess what the rest of an army looks like by viewing only 3 soldiers. This time, almost every soldier is unique which makes the army very interesting to take a look at.

Mister Phes wants to know!
For the 2009 Pirate Theme the LEGO Group used the newer, larger sharks which first appeared in the Agent sets.
- Would you prefer to see a return to classic sharks if future LEGO Pirate sets are released?
- Or maybe it should be the newer shark all the way.
- Or perhaps it could be a mixture of both, depending on the set
- Or maybe the LEGO Group should
But how do Pirate LEGO fans feel about this change?
Cast your vote in the Pirate forum and tell us what you think!!!

The perfect smelly hiding spot!
For the Rat Award, a special catagory in the Tournament of Retribution, Skalldyr presents his latest work. When you are running away with your arms filled with treasure, and Imperial Watchmen chasing upon you, it’s better to hide untill the storm is over. Sometimes no other option then the sewers down below is available.

The bluecoats are in fact just hanging around.
Sometimes the redcoats give the bluecoats the benefit of the doubt, in this ToR II entry, the redcoats have a few trials for the bluecoats to complete, how do you think they did?

In a Seaport far far away....
Round 2 of the ToR II is upon us and the redcoats have made a simple comparison that well, can’t be denied. With it’s cues towards a familiar SW spaceport, this entry is of course comical yet drives the redcoats point across crystal clear.
See how this ends in the Pirate Forum

The ultimate shrine from a devoted fan
As part of the Tournament of Retribution II Skalldyr has created this shrine to honour his beloved side in the war, the Redcoats. This MOC has been inspired by ‘Joe Rosenthal’s: Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima’, a similarly styled MOC.
