By the beard of Ironhook, 2025 has been a glorious voyage for LEGO Pirates!
We hoisted anchor in the New Year with the Pirate Quartermaster Collectible Minfigure and arrived at Crowdfunding (pre-orders) for The Thieves of Tortuga at the end of June.
Blimey, with all the releases this year, some of yer may’ve lost yer bearings — and there’s still more releases on the horizon!
Official Releases
Here be the admiral’s account in a (mostly) official capacity and a somewhat chronological order.
Collectible Minifigure
We embarked upon 2025 with the release of the Pirate Quartermaster from Series 27.
Fans embraced the new Quartermaster with vigor, so we compiled some articles showcasing their handiwork.
We’ve already published Part I and Part II, and we’ve even got enough material for Part III and Part IV.
But with so much official news, we may never get around to writing those articles! Unless yer wanna help…
Brickbeard Tile and Jolly Roger Torso Design
These parts might be scratching the bottom of the`ol barrel, but if yer like to build minifigs or pick yer bricks, they might be of use…
Brickbeard Tile and Pirate Torso Design – Build A Minifigure – Q2 2025
On offer be a lovely tile design featuring Brickbeard – not Redbeard… and a Jolly Roger torso design – the recent version, not the classic version.
New Licenced Theme
Fans of the One Piece franchise be treated to an entire LEGO theme inspired by the recent Netflix series.
What began as a rumour during late 2024 has since been officially announced.
One Piece may not be every LEGO Pirate fan’s cuppa tea, but the theme may yield useful parts for pirate builders.
New Minifigures
New versions of Bo’Sun Will and Camilla are fresh off the boat in 21358 Minifigure Vending Machine.
Where else they’ll be available remains to be seen, but let’s hope they’re not too exclusive! Lest fans never having the grown up versions join their crew…
New BAM Pirate
Dubbed “Sam Scarlet” so we don’t have to keep referring to him by the long-winded “Pirate-Themed – Build A Minifigure – Quarter 3 2025“.
Be he a pirate? Or be he an honest merchant?
That torso design be carries more flair than what you’d expect of a blood-thirsty cutthroat… so you decide.
New Pirate Port
Crowdfunding (pre-orders) for the highly popular Thieves of Tortuga have passed through these waters and vanished with the tide.
910053 The Thieves of Tortuga: Price and Pre-Order Date Announced
It sold exceptionally well, as the 30,000 set limit was gobbled up rapidly within the first few hours!
But the BrickLink Designer Team weren’t keen ondisappoting their loyal fleet of fans…
So by the looks of it, they may’ve hoisted the order limit all the way to 50,000 sets!
Minifigure Factory
LEGO.com has introduced a new feature in select regions what allows yer to assemble yer own custom minifigure. A digital Build A Minifigure station, if yer will.
The factory has launched with some palette swapped variations of the Bo’Sun Will and Camilla torso designs to rope LEGO Pirate fans in.
On the Horizon
Now let’s peer into our spyglass of the future and behold what treasures lie ahead…
Goonies LEGO Ideas Set
Delusion Brick submitted the build to the LEGO Ideas “If we could turn back time Challenge“… Inspired by key scenes from the 1985 film, The Goonies, the design is melded with “The Inferno“, ship of MacGuffinous notorious One-Eyed Willy.
T’will be interesting to observe how the Designer Team interpret this build in official LEGO set form.
Word on the wind claims this set will be reaching trading posts (retail stores) during November 2025.
New Imperial Ship
There be another ship scheduled for arrival at some point in the future!
Aye, the BrickLink Designer Program has even more pirate-themed sets up its proverbial sleeve…

New Imperial Fortress
The BrickLink Designer Program keeps delivering new wonders to us LEGO Pirates fans – officially announced be the first Imperial Fortress.
Could the Imperial Armada be plotting their long awaited return?
`Tis still early days in the foundry, so hold fast, the design and minfigs are yet to take their final form.
“Coconut Cape” submitted to Series 8 by BallisticBricks, has been scheduled for Crowdfunding (pre-orders) upon 1 June 1st, 2026 at 8AM.
Rumour Mill
Those daring to steer into unofficial waters may have intercepted various communiques regarding licensed sets based on an extremely popular pirate movie franchise.
Black Pearl Rumour…
Aye, none other than the famous ship from the depths of cinematic history, captained by both Hector Barbossa and Jack Sparrow.
Word from the crow’s nest dictate a far grander version than the 2011 offering will be arriving at our shores during September 2025.
But be there any truth to these rumblings?
Well, we ain’t laid eyes upon the official evidence… yet… so keep yer eyes to the horizon… and yer ear to the wind…
Pirates of the Caribbean Rumour…
The ol’ rumour mill be grindin’ furiously, churning out scuttlebutt of even more Pirates of the Caribbean sets.
From smaller Gift With Purchase sets revolving around a brick-built Jack Sparrow’s compass, or a minifigure-scale set containing the mysteriously absent Ragetti minifig…
To a grander builds like the fabled Flying Dutchman with Davy Jones at the helm.
Be there any truth to these claim?
What Do Yer Think?
Aye, overall, very exciting times be upon us!
We haven’t had this much official LEGO Pirate news in yonks… decades even.
It’s been a good year for classic LEGO Pirates
