Our LEGO shipwright has been at it again!

This time he’s tackled one of pop culture’s most iconic pirate ships with a reimagining  of Captain Hook’s vessel, the Jolly Roger from Peter Pan. 

Peter Pan characters are onboard in minifig form

To avoid creative constraints, Marin avoided building a literal depiction of any screen version of the ship, like the one seen in 1953 Disney animation, or the 1991 live-action Hook film.

The latest version of the Jolly Roger

Instead, he prompted his imagination:
What should Captain Hook’s ship really look like?

Marooned Marin writes:

Taken from The Jolly Roger post in the LEGO Pirates Forum.

I decided to go against a remake of a ship featured in one of Peter Pan’s motion picture movies. Partly because building a brick-built version of a real ship puts considerable constraints on creativity and freedom to play, and partly because none of the featured ships in those movies looked half as interesting.

A menacing galleon with three masts!

Marooned Main continues:

In short, it must be a three-masted galleon, and it must look menacing, and that was my guiding line.

Inspired by Captain Barbatos’ Charon’s Chest

Marooned Main continues:

The initial idea for the stern came from the skull panel on LEGO 6286 Skull’s Eye Schooner, which was quickly toppled by Captain Barbatos Charon Chest. I think Barbatos did an amazing design, and the idea of the ship with a “skull” stern stayed with me for several years.

Here be the inspiration for the stern

Marooned Main continues:

So I began with only a rough idea of what I wanted, a three-masted galleon with a huge skull on its stern, but no cut-and-clean way of how to get there.

One of the most formidable bows in LEGO ship history

Marooned Main continues:

The start was slow and discouraging, but parts kept on coming, and at some point the ship took a life of its own, came alive, so to speak, and I was left there only as a mere spectator of bricks and plates coming together.

And come together Marin’s Jolly Roger did

The Interior

Marin pours considerable thought into ensuring his designs maintain a  balance between both engaging playability and striking displayability.

Sea Eagle’s view of the ship

The upper decks lift away with ease, granting clear, convenient access to the interior so you can explore every nook and cranny of the hold and the berths within the crew quarters.

Removable decks for easy access to the interior

The upper deck comes fully armed with authentic firing LEGO cannons, and the crew is joined by minifigure renditions of the Darling siblings; Wendy, John, and Michael, ready for adventure.

Meanwhile, Captain Hook finds himself locked in an endless duel, crossing swords  with Peter Pan one moment and fending off that blasted crocodile the next.

Exterior shots including the upper deck

The lower deck houses the crew quarters and a compact galley that functions more like a kitchenette. Tinker Bell is locked away in the small but sturdy brig, while Smee cheerfully fries up some fish.

The lower decks

Although the interior is rich in detail, there’s a noticeable absence of crew. While a pirate somewhat resembling Sharky is busy terrorising John up in the mast, the lower decks remain eerily quiet. Familiar faces like Turk, Bill Jukes, or Mr. Tattoo are nowhere to be seen.

Captain Hook’s cabin and the helm

Hook’s main haunts are richly furnished and brimming with detail. His captain’s cabin is packed with pirate paraphernalia and all the navigational instruments a villain could need to hunt down and destroy wayward children.

Mr. Smee rows while Captain Hook catches up with an old friend

Aye, that’s straight from J.M. Barrie’s original tale; Hook’s modus operandi was to destroy Peter Pan for severing his right hand and feeding it to the crocodile… who from then onward, yearned for a second helping.

Video Tour

Static images never be enough! Marin knows pirates thirst for live action detail and has put together a video with 360 visuals exploring every facet of his creation.

ReBrickable Instructions

If yer wish to build yer very own Jolly Roger, Maroon Marin has been so kind as to  provide instructions which available are via ReBrickable.

Source Material

The original Jolly Roger be more if a catalyst than an inspiration for Marooned Marin’s version.  Over the years there have been various different interpretations of Captain Hook’s mighty vessel.

The Jolly Roger from Disney’s 1953 animated version of Peter Pan

Many LEGO Pirate fans grew up watching Disney’s animated classic and its various spinoff adventures. Others may have been lucky enough to visit a Disneyland, where they encountered a life‑sized replica bringing the magic of Neverland to full scale.

Life-size version at Adventureland, Disneyland Park, Paris

However, a Peter Pan sequel, Hook was released during 1991, towards the end of the first wave of LEGO Pirate sets.  While a range of action figures and play sets were released alongside the film, the toyline never delivered a grandiose ship capable of rivaling the mighty 6285 Black Seas Barracuda upon toy‑store shelves.

Stern of the Jolly Roger as seen in the 1991 Hook film

In recent times, the Jolly Roger has been reimagined yet again, most notably in the 2023 film Peter Pan & Wendy. With its grounded aesthetic and muted limestone colour grading, this incarnation is perhaps the least visually striking of the bunch.

It floats!

Despite all these Jolly Roger incarnations, Marin’s true source of inspiration was a MOC created by Barbatos, “The Terrifying Charon’s Chest“, particularly for the elaborate skull dominating its stern.

“The Terrifying Charon’s Chest” by Barbatos

Even though Marin cited the printed Jolie Rouge element included with 6286 Skulls Eye Schooner as a primary inspiration for his build, t’was the third large pirate ship released in 1996 that first brought the concept to life.

Marin has been extremely dedicated towards ensuring his designs are accessible to the masses, so yer not merely a spectator.

Building instructions for many of his creations are available on ReBrickable, so you can steal learn his valuable building techniques to incorporate into yer own MOCs, or recreate his designs in their entirety.

What Do Yer Think?

Has Marooned Marin captured the true spirit of Hook’s infamous Jolly Roger? Or do yer dreams drift toward a version more akin to the ships that appear on screen?

“Second star to the right and straight on until morning”

And if yer were ever to build the Jolly Roger from scratch, what would you approach differently?

Now sprinkle some pixie dust, jump out the window and let your thoughts take flight in the LEGO Pirates Forum and the Classic Pirates Facebook Group.

Once again LEGO Pirates have been flung into the sea of obscurity.  Now that Coconut Cape has been Crowdfunded there be not a single upcoming pirate BrickLink Design scheduled for production.

We must do something about this atrocity!  At once!

Official Announcement

Here be the newly refreshed Designer Program’s official 2028 Wave 1 webpage.

The 2028 Wave 1 palette was released 30 June 2026

This webpage be the foundation of knowledge to triumph in the Designer Team’s review and ensure yer designs reach the Crowdfunding phase…

2028 Wave 1 Timeline

Here be the crucial dates for navigating 2028 Wave 1:

2028 Wave 1 Updates

There be some important changes!  So be sure to note these in yer log:

Source: Submissions Guidelines

Eligibility

There’s been some grumbling over the same designers being selected as a Finalist across multiple Series, but now Finalists will need to wait an entire year before being eligible again.

Fan designers will be required to wait one year until they are eligible to submit to BDP after being selected as a finalist. For example, a fan designer who is selected as a Finalist for Wave 1 2028 would have to wait until Wave 1 2029 to participate again.

Categories

Now yer can choose two categories for yer submissions… but make sure yer select categories what are true to your design!  Or they shall be reassigned:

Model designers can choose up to two categories which fit the model submission. The BDP team reserves the right to remove or replace any categories that do not accurately reflect the model

BrickLink Refreshments

BrickLink must have been getting stale like crackers at the bottom of the barrel after a long voyage because they’ve  given it a makeover.

BrickLink Designer Program Rebrand

IMPORTANT!  Numbering “Series“ to identify release cycles has been superseded by annual “Collections“ divided in three “Waves“…  Be sure to absorb the full details:

What Do Yer Think?

Shall we embark on this journey once more and ride the Waves of the Designer Program to unleash  old‑school LEGO Pirate brilliance?

Brush up on them guidelines and then BUILD!

Builders

Open Submission for 2028 Wave 1 is between 14 and 28 September, 2026 — but  submit yer design as early as possible in case yer need to correct errors!

Open Submission starts:

Buyers

To date, four LEGO Pirate designs have been Crowdfunded, so what be yer thoughts on the BrickLink Designer sets thus far?

Have they succeeded in continuing the legacy of LEGO Pirates? Or are failing to scratch that classic set itch and yer’d rather wait for another retail release like Barracuda Bay or Eldorado Fortress?

Do yer have a general interest in Pirate-themed BrickLink Sets?

Yes, absolutely!

The BrickLink Designer Program has undergone a refit!

Most LEGO Pirate fans probably won’t give a hoot about the aesthetic differences but there’s an extremely important change to how future release cycles shall be named.

They’ll no longer be referred to as “Series”, they’ll be known as “Waves”…

Branding Update

The first thing BrickLink has done is trimmed the name down… now it’s simply Designer Program.  

It’s just Designer Program now

Aye, they’ve completely omitted “BrickLink”… probably because there be no other designer programs what yer may confuse this one with.

They’ve also given each of the BrickLink logos a fresh polish too, but the Designer Program shall retain its bright orange glow.

Now you won’t confuse the Designer Program for the Marketplace

The new icon set follows the shape of a single 1×1 LEGO tile, to better align with BrickLink’s way of dressing their symbols in proper LEGO finery.

Box Art

Yer’ll be spyin’ the new logo and refreshed name on the box art once the 2028 haul sets sail.  Aye, we’re finally getting some “box art” on future BrickLink sets…

Classic Pirates won’t be retiring from making box mock-ups

But don’t get too excited, it’s not the box art yer actually want… well, unless yer have a fondness for them blue boxes of the mid to late 2000s.

Color Coordination

The new box dressing be crafted so any pirate can tell exactly when a BrickLink Wave is set to make landfall.

Colour coding for each Wave

Each tide of releases will fly its own colour:

• Wave 1 draped in purple,
• Wave 2 sporting green, and
• Wave 3 burning red like a signal fire.

Release Cycles

The Designer Program be throwin’ the old “Series” monkier overboard after Series 11, sendin’ it down to old Davy Jones’ locker.

Gone is Series 12, 13, and 14…

Instead the focus will shift to the year of Production and Shipping, so we’ll be seein’ 2028 Wave 1, 2028 Wave 2, and 2028 Wave 3.  And then the Wave resets to 1 the following year, E.g. 2009 Wave 1, and so on…

The BrickLink birdie is back!

When the new Designer sets arrive in 2028, their boxes will bear their  Wave colour, along with the BrickLink parrot mascot perched proudly on the side.

But all this be mere decoration compared to the true change: the entire rhythm of the Designer Program now follows the yearly tide, not the overall tally.

Do yer feel nostalgic for the mid 2000s??

With this colour co-ordinated plumage and a yearly naming system, yer can follow the program without a chronometer. The Designer Program’s future releases should be easily identifiable by the colour of each Wave.

Hidden details: it’s the Divinci code all over again

What Do Yer Think?

Do yer like BrickLink Designer Program’s new branding? Or do yer just wish they’d churn out more bloody pirate sets?  Here be some concepts using the new box:

“Merchant Ship” by ElephantKnight & “Port Fenzance” by Ammiraglio

Will the use of “Waves“ be helpful? Or was using numbered “Series” just fine?

Don’t box up your thoughts on the refreshed Designer Program… open them right up in the Classic Pirates Facebook Group and LEGO Pirates Forum.

6057 Sea Serpent

Released in 1992, 6057 Sea Serpent is a small but iconic Black Knights boat, notable for its unusual faction mix, unique printed elements, and the fact it’s a ship released within the LEGO Castle theme.

Unlike its modern counterpart, the original set offers 5 minifigures; three Black Knight soldiers and two Black Falcons soldiers.  T’was also the last time the Black Falcons appeared in a regular retail set.

Relevance to LEGO Pirate Fans

LEGO Pirate fans have long yearned for more smaller ships in the league of Steve’s Cutter, and just recently that yearning was somewhat fulfilled in the 2026 set, 31387 Iconic Pirate Ship.

 Brick-built sails: not quite hitting the mark

While the Creator 3-in-1 set offers two small sloops as an alternate build, these pint-sized vessels lack the quintessential element that defined The Cutter; its fabric sails.

These cloth-cut inclusions elevate the small merchant ship from a mere accessory bundled with 6277 Imperial Trading Post, to design that could function as a set in its own right.

Fabric sails help fans feel like they’re buying a premium product

So that’s why the Sea Serpent be a mighty fine little vessel, ripe for plunderin! Along with with fabric sails, it offers a sturdy mini‑hull begging to be refit with cannons,  barrels, and a proper Jolly Roger flag.

Any Pirate worth their salt could turn this Castle craft into a swift raider or sneaky merchant skiff faster than ye can say “hoist yer colours”.

Steve’s Cutter also released in 1992

LEGO Ideas “A Twist of Nostalgia” Contest

The Sea Serpent GWP is based on the winning entry by HallowedBrick02, who re-imagined the 1992 set for the Twist of Nostalgia LEGO Ideas contest.

Pirate Submissions in the “A Twist of Nostalgia!” LEGO Ideas Challenge

Contest Objective

Entrants were challenged to submit a design containing a maximum of 250 pieces, using modernised building techniques and a strict focus upon non‑licensed themes, particularly drawing inspiration from the classic themes of the 80s and 90s.

The official brief

After a period of fan voting to determine the winners, of which there were three.  Next, official LEGO designers adapted the Grand Prize winner’s design into a set suitable for manufacturing.

WINNERS of the LEGO Ideas “A Twist of Nostalgia” Challenge

HallowedBrick02’s winning design included three minifigures and the maximum 250 part limit, though The LEGO Group’s production version reduced the minifig count to two minifigures and 241 parts overall.

Vote for the LEGO Ideas Twist of Nostalgia Challenge Winners

Admittedly, Sea Serpent was Classic Pirates odds-on favourite to win the contest, using a sole image of the ship as a Featured Image to rally LEGO Pirate fans to participate in voting… well, to hopefully vote for Pirate designs.

As the 2020s dawned, Pirates of Barracuda Bay stormed into toy stores— a triumphant fusion of classic LEGO Pirate spirit and modern design brilliance.

The set ignited the imaginations of LEGO fans and continues to shape their creations, firmly cementing its legacy to this very day.

The source material: 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay

Siroco honed his attention towards the set’s most beloved gathering place, José’s Inn — a lively tavern, echoing with laughter, clinking mugs, and whispered plots… with mutineers scheming to make off with the lot…

Siroco writes:

Sourced from the topicin the LEGO Pirates Forum:

Greetings!

I grew up with Lego in the 70’s and always loved pirates, but building sailing ships with the parts available wasn’t easy, and the result wasn’t pretty, but I spend many wonderful hours trying my best, in absence of proper minifigs I used Arial soap-powder/detergent premium figures.

Just look for the sign

Siroco continues:

Now, many years later, I am the proud owner of set 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay, which I bought mainly for the ship version but the desert island deserved a upgrade.

Now let’s convert Asha in the City of Rosas into a LEGO Pirate set!

Siroco continues:

When I saw set 43223 Asha in the City of Rosas I thought, colonial architecture, bottles everywhere, it’s a Pirate set!

So this is that part that will be redesigned…

Redesigned José’s Inn

Tradition dictates, the nature of these modifications require swapping out the standard minifig crew and accessories for their piratical counterparts — cutlasses, tricorns, and treasure!

Here be the piratical conversion

Well, turns out a Disney set using LEGO Friends elements can scrub up quite nicely as a LEGO Pirate set!  Slap a new coat of paint on the roof and we’re there!  

There also be parallels with a Juniors set…

10679 Pirate Treasure Hunt 📸 Nori

Both have a nicely executed facade, but as we’re about to discover, the architecture falls flat… literally…  

So, here be an digital concept for the rear of the set…

A CAD rendering of the cafe

Perhaps the weakest point of the build, attributed to its lack of detail and bland inset wall, just begging for a makeover.

Aside from minifigure swaps, the design remains constant

Typically classic LEGO Pirates sets receive some form of interior, claustrophobic as they may be in the more diminutive sets.  But at this José’s Inn, we’re left with a rather spacious alcove.

Rear of Asha in the City of Rosas 

The original set manages to circumnavigate this blandness by offering a plethora of accessories and some decorative stickers of hanging carpets.

About the Builder…

Siroco or Rui, is a seasoned AFOL from Portugal. This be Classic Pirates first encounter, so we don’t have any socials to share.

A real Portuguese fortress: Fort of Saint Anthony

We plucked this glorious MOD straight from the [MOD] José’s Inn (inspired by set 43223) topic in the LEGO Pirates MOC Forum on Eurobricks.

Having spent years gazing at the magnificent creations in the forum, Siroco decided it was high time to emerge from the shadows, and share a creation of his own.

After a seemingly endless dark age, Siroco rediscovered LEGO through Pirates of Barracuda Bay — and from that moment, LEGO Pirates became his favourite theme.

Imperial Version

kolonialbeamterdemartinez put his own imperial spin on 43223 Asha in the City of Rosas.  Unfortunately there only be two images so we’ll shoehorn them in here:

Brick Fanatics writes:

Where previous BDP pirate sets have been big on spectacle but occasionally difficult to construct, this set foregoes a level of detail in favour of open spaces suitable for play, and a far simpler build process that feels relaxed and joyful. This is the first BrickLink Designer Program pirate set that would work very well as a wider LEGO release, and is suitable for fans of all levels of experience with LEGO, as well as being better-suited to play than some previous BDP sets.

Full Set Overview by Brick Bandit

Brick Bandit shares his thoughts based on the official promo photos… and he’s spruced up our classic box art for his own superb box mock-up:

Brick Bandit writes:

Coconut Cape might not be the biggest set in the BrickLink Designer Program Series 8 lineup, but it could honestly be one of the most atmospheric. Instead of massive kingdoms, icy fortresses, or giant medieval battlefields, this set drops LEGO Pirates into a fortified tropical trade outpost surrounded by ocean cliffs, palm trees, hidden treasure, and dangerous waters. It feels less like a traditional pirate island… and more like a remote stronghold guarding one of the last safe ports in the region.

Coconut Cape, a mighty fortress inspired by 17th century Spanish architecture.

910065 Coconut Cape – Pre-Orders

Imperial Armada Return

And what be a Spanish fortress without Imperial Armada minifigures?

Imperial Factions are Popping Up EVERYWHERE!

Coconut Cape includes flags for the Imperial Armada, Imperial Guards (red coats) and Soldiers (blue coats) – so you decide who’s in command!

Beautiful Box Art

Not meanin’ to bamboozle yer, but we must confess this LEGO SYSTEM box be  fan‑forged, pieced together with AFOL love and devotion.

Fans dream of this art style

Credits

As always, the beautiful classic box artwork and  SYSTEM box mock-up was a collaborative effort between fans:

• BallisticBricks – designer of Coconut Cape submitted to Series 8
• JennaAlchemy – designer of the SYSTEM-style LEGO box
• Mister Phes – creator of the classic LEGO Pirate set box art backgrounds

Fans long for the day, The LEGO Group once again officially produces LEGO set boxes in this style – for it drives their nostalgia buds wild, prompting them to fork  over their gold like there’s no tomorrow!

Production Limit

As per the official BrickLink Designer Program guidelines, the default production allocation for each BrickLink set is 30,000 units.

This be the actual Coconut Cape box

So for five designs that’s a maximum of 150,000 sets which can enter production.

However, the 30,000 limit per design is not final! 

If Pre-Orders for a particular design don’t have a chance reaching 30,000, the production allocation can be transferred to a design that’s performing better. That’s how the Pre-Order limit of both Thieves of Tortuga and Privateer Frigate Fortuna was increased to 40,000.

This way, greater supply can be allocated to the most popular designs, providing the combined total of Pre-Orders for all five designs does not exceed 150,000 sets.

With Crowd Support for BrickLink Designer Program Series 11 drawing to a close, it be time to highlight some of the specular designs.

At the time of writing, only four pirate-themed designs have achieved Finalist status; two pirate designs, two imperial designs. So now be time for something fresh…  let’s give the Indigo Islanders a moment of glory!

King Kahuka is back, baby! I mean matey…

SevenDeadlyStreamers, sailin’ under the fearsome banner of 7DeadlyBricks, has unleashed not one, but but a full‑blown TRIO of Islander designs to Series 11, so let’s hope ONE paddles over the line…

“Forgotten Cove” / 6262 Forbidden Cove Remake

In response to the BrickLink Designer Team’s request for smaller designs, SevenDeadlyStreamers aims to target different part ranges; starting with the modest 992-part  “Forgotten Cove” to the grandiose 3,553-part  “Legacy Islands”.

“Legacy Islands” / Indigo Islander sub-theme remake

Upon this voyage, we shall explore the mid-sized marvel, the 2,114-part “Mysterious Isle”, shrouded in jungle mist and guarded by ancient stone moai…

SevenDeadlyStreamers writes:

Taken from the “Mysterious Isle” BrickLink Designer webpage.

I took inspiration from Enchanted Island to create this modern model that is a trip down memory lane for fans of this amazing 90s LEGO theme!

I also reimagined the pirate’s sloop with design elements from the incredible Skull’s Eye Schooner and Renegade Runner!

Mysterious Isle

Them what’s familiar with 6278 Enchanted Island will have noticed Mysterious Isle is a modernised version of that set, rung through the BrickLink Designer palette.

How’s this for an update?

Because the part palette is limited to elements in production, BrickLink designers are often forced to employ creative substitutions. 

Of the many departures, the most significant deviation is the brick-built terrain in-lieu of a raised base plate. 

From above the familiar island footprint remains

But this a phenomena we have already experienced with the foundation of 2023’s official 10320 Eldorado Fortress remake.

Minifigures

The minifigs however, may be less palatable as the BrickLink palette currently lacks any minifigure parts remotely suitable for recreating Indigo Islanders.

Indigo Islander and Pirate minifigures

SevenDeadlyStreamers has done his utmost best, but devout LEGO Pirate fans will be eager to replace that Islander tribe with something more authentic.

Unfortunately, some will be completely deterred  by the ‘day at the beach’ vibe radiating from these modern Islander stand‑ins.

King Kahuka’s mask

One key element Streamers has taken special care to honour, be a brick‑built rendition of King Kahuka’s iconic mask. For without it, there could be no Kahuka!

Watercraft

The original Enchanted Island included an Islander outrigger and pirate sailboat, each fitted with real cloth sails to catch the winds of the Brick Seas.

Islander outrigger with brick-built sail

Cloth elements aren’t permitted within BrickLink designer models, so again brick-built substitutions are required. Stickers however, can be utilised to reintroduce long lost design motifs of the past.

Pirate sailboat now a mini 6268 Renegade Runner

Streamers has also bolstered the sailboat design, originally a dinghy with mast, the new version is entirely brick-built drawing influence from its larger counterparts, 6286 Skull’s Eye Schooner and 6268 Renegade Runner.

The classic Indigo Islander and LEGO Pirates insignias return

Enchanting Island Features

SevenDeadlyStreamers has paid particular heed to recreating the hallmark features of the original 6287 Enchanted Island.

New and improved

The once single‑piece rope bridge, now rebuilt from a tangle of parts, still retains its swivel trickery, ready to fling unwary pirates into a watery grave below.

It’s like a scene out of the classic box art!

The hungry alligator still lurks beneath, albeit a formation of bricks representing a crocodilian emerging from the shallows, rather than the moulded beastie.

Skeletons now included

The secret treasure cave is somewhat less secretive, yet so packed to the brim with loot, valuables spill forth. Well, providing yer pirates still find any value in modern LEGO treasure…

Vac-metal gold coins? Nay this treasure is not that valuable!

The pirates plundering Mysterious Isle however, take great interest in these trinkets and waste little time helping themselves.

Thievin’ pirates have caught Kahuka’s attention

On the island’s east side, the festivities never stop;  lively bongo rhythms, endless piña coladas, and a water slide that delivers yer straight into the sparkling shallows.

It’s all fun in the sun in this richly detailed environment.

Venturing to the opposite side of the lagoon, we discover the jewel‑crested moai, a towering stone effigy draped in lush island flora. 

Packed with substantially more detail than the original

At the monument’s rear, lies the prison, complete with a long‑forgotten pirate still trapped within.  The long gestating skeleton minifigure did not debut until 1995, a good year after Enchanted Island was released.

Overall, SevenDeadlyStreamers has crafted a commendable reimagining of a beloved classic. The only real shame is the BrickLink Designer Program can’t offer more authentic Indigo Islander parts or proper fabric sails.

Just imagine… it’s populated with real Islander minifigs

 Support Mysterious Isle and the other Series 11 Pirate submissions RIGHT NOW before it’s too late!

6278 Enchanted Island

The crown jewel of the 1994 Indigo Islanders sub-theme.

6278 Enchanted Island versus Mysterious Isle

The 412‑piece isle be the largest, most elaborate, and most feature‑rich set, of the seven released for King Kahuka’s tribe.  Well, eight if yer count the promotional set, 1788 Treasure Chest.

Look at all them features!

The lush, trap‑filled jungle stronghold spans two base plates, complete with sailboat, outrigger, animals, secret chambers, and seven minifigures; five Islanders and two pesky pirates including the notorious Ironhook.

6278 Enchanted Island box art

The Indigo Islanders vanished with the setting sun in 1996, never to resurface in any official capacity – but could YOU change this?

About the Builder…

SevenDeadlyStreamers, who also sails under the name Josh Damm, has been a frequent contributor to the LEGO Pirates Forum and occasionally takes a crack at the BrickLink Designer Program… under yet another guise, 7DeadlyBricks.

“Wolf Pirates” submitted to Series 7 and Series 8

In recent years, he’s submitted entries to both the Return of the Classic Pirates and Infamous Steve contests, which included 6262 King Kahuka’s Throne Remake.

An earlier foray into Islanders

During 2023, he collaborated with his daughter Sydney on a micro build of 6277 Imperial Trading Post which won them a First to 25 Challenge prize.

The official box – might need to mock-up something more interesting….

Official Information

Taken from the official Coconut Cape webpage on the BrickLink website:

Land Ho! With its strong walls and strategic defenses, Coconut Cape serves as a guardian of the ocean, deterring pirates and ensuring the safety of the surrounding trade routes. It stands as a beacon for ships and a refuge for the weary. Remember to always keep an eye out for hidden treasure! Buried deep within the walls, a secret compartment reveals precious gold and gems for the plundering!

Specifications

Parts: 2,384 | Minifigures: 9 | Stickers: 10

55 studs wide by 45 bricks high

Dimensions 

The dimensions of the production version have not been published, so here be the dimensions of the Series 8 version:

Length: 34.4 cm / 13.6 in
Width: 47.1 cm / 18.6 in
Height: 36.6 cm / 14.4 in

It must be noted the original design had 2,425 parts so the above measurements may not be precise.

Dolls house-style rear interior access

Modules

Coconut Cape separates into five modules, more so for accessibility than display – it appears the modules cannot be easily be combined into different arrangements beyond the initial design.  Or can they?

Here be the modules of the modular design 

Although, the upper-most module which contains the Commodore’s residence, could possibly stand on its own as a smaller set. 

What do yer think of the minifigures?

Minifigures and Faction

Classic Pirates has delved into the surge of new LEGO Pirates factions which have appeared in recent times, noting that the Coconut Cape imperial minifigures loosely resemble those of the criminally neglected Imperial Armada sub-theme.

Lavender coats?

While the Coconut Cape’s core regiment remains similar to the initial submission’s recruits, the production version features a new, regal minifigure in command.

Sporting the lavender torso which first appeared in the Series 7 version of Privateer Frigate Fortuna, albeit not on the captain minifig.

The highest ranking officer and his wife… daughter… niece?

Quite far removed from the vibrant red torso of the established Imperial Armada admiral, Don Diego de LEGO, so we could assume this is brand new character.

And low and behold!  An Imperial Armada-inspired flag sticker is included…

Both Imperial Armada and Imperial Guard flags are included

Curiously enough, an Imperial Guard flag is thrown in for good measure…  so perhaps your red coat army will eventually conquer the cape… or be that your Unpredictable Privateers disguised as Imperial Guards?

Interior

Coconut Cape brims with clever touches and visual surprises to ensure the design remains endlessly engaging for your enjoyment.

Commodore’s Residence

Occupying the top-most floors is our regal leader’s abode. 

It may be cozy yet its dressed in fine luxuries; a stately grandfather clock and a gleaming diamond chandelier be among them. 

The commodore is looking for his croissant

And should the commodore grow sleepless from the clock chiming upon the hour, he can always seek solace in the barracks downstairs.

Keeping a vigilant eye on potential threats… both imperial and piratical

The commodore’s residence even boasts a private balcony, complete with diamond‑lens telescope to ensure no incoming menace goes unnoticed.

The floor beneath houses the Commodore’s study, the room where he conducts his delicate diplomatic affairs would the other imperial factions.

Well accessorized study and kitchen

The adjoining kitchen serves all manner of pineapple cuisine, and it doubles as a galley for the soldiers, as the barracks below is lacking the necessary facilities.

Barracks

The soldiers’ sleeping quarters features a brick-built bunks and various useful items.  What likes within those trunks and sacks?  Could be spoils claimed from apprehended pirates, or it could be the soldiers laundry?

Sleep peacefully on the bunks while a prisoner screams from the cell!

A couple of flyers hastily decorate the wall; what appears to be a recruitment poster, and a public health and safety warning – should there be any doubt befriending sharks may pose potential health risks.

Armoury and Storehouse 

The ground floor serves as the storehouse, packed with the fort’s vital military provisions. To the right sits the cellar, its cool stone walls lined with barrels of the garrison’s favourite spirits.

Go left for booze… also go right for booze

While, to the left lies the armoury, its racks lined with muskets armed to fight off invaders… and a little extra booze tucked away for morale.

Exterior

Plenty of excitement unfolds through the fort’s external walls…

Battlements

The ramparts are spacious and easily accommodate two cannons, although some fans may be disappointed they’re brick-built, rather than the traditional spring loaded artillery of their youth.

Plenty of soldiers and plenty of firepower! 💥

The garitas, a defining feature of the original design, are retained; however, they still remain too small to accommodate minfigures.

Dock

The dock is a masterstroke of convenience, letting supply ships sail straight to the storehouse and offload their cargo without wreckin’ their backs.

Pull in at the docks… then take the stairs to the battlements.

Also, there be a hansom reward for them pesky pirates what popup in the barracks unexpectedly and then relocate the soldiers’ possessions to their secret treasure cave…

Rocky Outcrop

A rocky outcrop protrudes from the fortress’s rear wall, appearing to be a simple geological formation… but looks can be deceiving.

A boring old cliff face, right?

Secret Treasure Cave

Yet this cluster of stone be no mere scenery, it’s a nifty module that detaches to unveil a hidden cavern, glistening with treasure inside its interior.

Treasure! But still no vac metal coins

This reveal affords the pirates a sense of purpose: are they raiding the cape and stashing its riches in this hovel? Or be their ambitions far grander and quietly taking shape behind within these shadowy confines?

A Jolly Roger stands ready to mark the pirates’ claim over the cape…

New Map

True to form, the pirates have scribed the location of their secret treasure cave upon a map only they can decipher. Well, the palm trees might be a dead giveaway…

X marks the spot where the shark can be found

Like most printed elements included with BrickLink Designer sets, the map is sticker adhered to a 2×2 tile. So not a new map piece per-say, but welcome flourish that enriches the pirates’ unfolding narrative at the cape.

Fauna

What would a LEGO Pirate set be without critters?

Monkey

A young vervet named Mendoza scampers throughout the fortress in search of bananas and a good time.

Mendoza the monkey

Mendoza is Spinoza’s third cousin thrice removed, though if you ask him, he’ll insist he’s the clever one in the family. Most days he can be found perched atop the Coconut Cape battlements, chittering orders at passing gulls as if they were his personal fleet. 

Bird

High above the fortress, in the creaking wooden nest latched to a railing upon the tower’s crown, dwells a bird known only as Mister Plume.

Chief surveillance officer, Mister Plume

No one remembers who first called him that, but the name stuck the moment he strutted across the parapet with the swagger of a seasoned cors-air (aye, pun intended). From dawn to dusk he surveys Coconut Cape with a birds eye view.

Shark

Beneath the foaming surf that crashes against Coconut Cape’s rocky outcrop prowls a ravenous creature all are warned to avoid… Literally… In a warning poster.

Some have named him Old Sawtooth

Even from the supposed safety of a dinghy, pirates and soldiers alike may find the shark surging after them in relentless pursuit.

 Parrot and Frog

A parrot perched on the fort? Naturally. But a frog lurkin’ about? That little stowaway’s got a story he ain’t tellin’.

A parrot is to be expected, but a frog?

Aye, Coconut Cape’s offers a fine assortment of critters skitterin’, squawkin’, and hoppin’ about to keep the place lively.
