Reports have come flooding in there be a new 2×3 Brickbeard tile and Jolly Roger torso be available in LEGO stores as part of their Build A Minifigure selections.
Where these parts may surface next, only the seas be knowin’…
Build A Minifigure – Quarter 2, 2025
Feast yer eyes on the brand-new LEGO Build-a-Minifigure hoard for Second Quarter, 2025!
Do these pieces have merit?
Seven fresh scallywags be awaitin’ for ye to collect, but alas… there ain’t a true pirate among them…
The Brickbeard tile and Jolly Roger torso be part of the default configuration of the minifigure dubbed “Pirate Boy” or “Pirate fan“.
Perhaps this is what The LEGO Group assumes LEGO Pirate fans look like in real life, or at the very least, the minifig seems to resemble a teenager, sporting rather garish attire.

Curiously, this hand drawn rendition of Brickbeard retains both hands and legs.
Definitely Brickbeard, not Redbeard
And it’s definitely Brickbeard `coz Roger Redbeard sported green garb, not the fiery crimson we see in the title.
Traditionally the Captain Brickbeard minfigure clomps round on a pegleg and gnashes at imperials with a hook in place of his left hand.
Spot the Brickbeard!
So blow me down! What devilry be afoot ‘ere?
Could this be Brickbeard in his spryer days before he lost a limb or two? Or might it be another scallywag? A kin of Brickbeard’s, perhaps?
Social Media
It still be early days, but here are some sightings of the tile…

I went to the LEGO flagship store on April 1. I called before and they said they put out their Q2 stuff on March 31. So I went with the intention of trying to find some redbeard prints (I got three).
The store has three separate BAM stations, and the store is always busy. It was very difficult to find any redbeard prints, I only found three on one of the BAM stations at the top.
I intended to only get new figures, but I found a blue spacesuit/matching legs that I could not turn down, and there was a body/head for the wrestler from Q1. I wanted a doctor minifigures so I was happy to build one. So I ended up with a random build of three.
I sought out the redbeard prints early based on the advice that I got here. Thank you.
