What the Blazes!  This mentions nothing about Pirates!

Blast, yer right! No mention of the Classic Pirate Captain anywhere in the information on the official LEGO House website.

Well, what do you expect from a rumour?

WAIT!  Have you checked the LEGO House Instagram lately?

What be going on here?

“Where is it” indeed?

Now, why has LEGO House posted a pirate video on their official Instagram account?

Could this be a fleeting tease of an upcoming pirate release? Or is a bum steer to throw us off course?  And then they announce a Castle or Space set instead? Yer know, like they did during the 90th Anniversary set releases.  Even though fans were officially polled to determine which theme they’d like to return for the anniversary and Pirates had the third most votes… until The LEGO Group realised their Castle sub-theme blunder and rejigged the poll options privately.

Screenshots from Pirate Video on LEGO House Instagram

Here are some screenshots highlights from the Instagram video

What does it all mean? Will we ever see the Imperial Guards again?


So it’s Just Going to be that Overgrown Minifigure?

Do yer think our fortunes be smiling and The LEGO Group will boldly announce the release of a large ship of fortress set?

If so, yer more naive optimistic than the Classic Pirates!

LEGO House Classic Pirate Captain Exclusive

This is the rumoured “40504 Classic Pirate Captain” LEGO House exclusive set

Instructions cover with LEGO House 40504 Classic Pirate Captain-Exclusive

Are we looking at the cover of the instruction manual?

Some may adore placing this upscaled Captain Redbeard upon their stained mahogany mantelpiece, right next to their over-wound cuckoo clock.

While other LEGO Pirates fans may reel in disappointment, longing for a set which hails its architectural inspiration from classic source material. Yer know, like a ship or fortress.


What Do Yer Think?

Will the upcoming announcement for LEGO House exclusive be the Classic Pirate Captain set? Or shall we be disappointed surprised by something else entirely?

And if it should be the captain, will you attempt to procure one?  Or will you sail on by as though he’s not even there?

Share your thoughts with the Classic Pirates in the LEGO Pirates Forum or on the Facebook Post so we can either celebrate or commiserate this release.
