Series 9 Pirate Submissions
The BrickLink Designer Team did not see fit to select a true pirate-themed design, the closest being “The Fisherman’s Village“.
Although, it’s perhaps too modern for the tastes of devout LEGO Pirate fans.
If yer be wonderin’ what Pirate-themed submissions didn’t make the cut, we’ve got them all rounded up, ready for yer review…
Upcoming Crowdfunding
But do no despair!
For two Pirate-themed designs still loom upon the Crowdfunding horizon…
Privateer Frigate Fortuna shall enter Crowdfunding during February 2026, while Coconut Cape be scheduled for June 2026.
So be ready to dig up yer gold next year.
