6260 – Shipwreck Island
It may be small, but it’s a worthy addition to any pirate layout. Two minifigs, two animals, a printed island baseplate and gold! This maybe one of the best values in the line, from way back in 1989. Check out the full MISB unboxing and review and decide for yourself.

Spanish Colonization of Latin America
This great scene comes to us from ACPin and features many Spanish Conquistadors arriving to the small island to talk to the natives. Be sure to check out all the photos and get a good look at the excellent water detailing and simple but effective vegetation.

A classic never dies, unlike the Bluecoats, who will die in horrible, unthinkable, tragic, and hilarious ways in the TOR III
Do you ever get a sense of nostalgia? Do you ever wish LEGO would go back to yesteryear? Classic-Pirates.com’s own Boomchil had that same feeling when he picked up a pile of classic sets to review! This review is for the classic 6267 Lagoon Lock-Up, a set featuring the periwinkle pansies Bluecoat soldiers from 1991. The set cost Boomchil a staggering $80.00 USD to pick it up on Bricklink, so don’t let his investment go to waste, and check out the excellent review today.
