Scorpiox Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I am the proud owner of the Carribean Clipper (modified by me) and the old Imperial Flagship and the 2009 Cannon battle and both the 2009 impulses. My meagre collection cannot rival any of yours though! P.S. I also have a collecton of Islanders though. Quote

Rhodes81 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I've always been big into star wars lego with a minor in castle, however when the queen anne's revenge came out i thought it would be a great piece to add to my undead army so i picked it up off ebay without the figs for very cheap and planned to buy some of the zombies to crew it along with my undead soldiers. however after building it i found that it looked so nice that it compelled me to run out and buy a small pirates set (it had jack sparrow and some of the undead guys with a few captain's cabin elements) and simply loved the way it looked. ever since then i've been jonesing to start a pirate collection. so i figured i'd ask here first. what are some of the signature pirates sets? should i try and collect the old stuff or just start with PotC and go from there? is the imperial flagship as good as it looks? Quote
Dr. Steve Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Welcome to the Pirates Forum You can't go wrong with the imperial flagship! There are also many examples of great sip MOC's around here if you are interested in building your own. Quote
Captain Becker Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Well, the new IFS is a great set ofcourse, and its great for getting pieces. However the bow is very weak and its also expensive set. So if you can get it, get it! For singature sets, i can tell much anything. And start whit the POTC first, ad try to get the old sets at last. Captain Becker Quote
Rhodes81 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 thanks for the replies. i think i'm just going to stick to PotC for now and then maybe branch out/wait for them to finish PotC and move on to more classic pirates. Quote
Cammo Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Great, I just started collecting myself again. I had an old Islanders's Set (Enchanted Island 6278). Since the launch of the PotC sets I felt the urge to pick them up. Can't wait to complete my collection. Still 4 sets to go! ( Whitecap Bay, Captain's Cabin, The London Escape & The Fountain of Youth). Quote
Darth Yogi Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I too recently started pirates from Star Wars, although I still build Star Wars. When I started I just bought a few smaller sets, and made brick built hulls mostly from what I had. Now after a few months I really started some bigger builds. So I might suggest start small if you plan on MOCing, or most of the bigger LEGO ships are great for display. Hope to see some builds from you soon. Quote
yys4u Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Yea It sounds like your into the current sets, so the classic pirate sets might not be the best route for you yet. i definitely recommend the New Imperial Flagship, if you can afford it, I don't personally own the QAR but from the reviews and pics I've seen of it I still think I can definitively say the IFS is still WAY better. It'd also be pretty cool to stange an imperial soldier fight against an undead ship. If not then you're probably spot on, on trying out PotC first, then maybe branching out to classic sets. Quote
Cap'n Crunch Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 You could try collecting the older 2009 wave if you can't afford the new 10210 IFS. The older waves from 1989 and 1990s can be found on ebay. If you are into ships you can look for classic ships like the 6285 Black Seas Barracuda and the 6286 Skull Eye Schooner. Both are excellent ships. The 6243 Brickbeard's Bounty is not a bad set either. It is still available in many stores at a reasonable price. If you want to collect more sets from the POTC line, you could wait till November when the Black Pearl comes out. It all comes down to whether you prefer Classic Pirates or the POTC line. Quote
yys4u Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 ^ Good point, I completely forgot about the newer pirate stuff other than the New IFS. 6242 Soldier's Fort would be another example of a good set from that line. Quote
Red Bricks Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 If you want to start a POTC collection then I would say to buy Isla de la Muerta or the Fountain of Youth, they are great intro sets and come with a lot of stuff to get you into it Quote
Cap'n Crunch Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I forgot one thing, cannons. POTC sets usually do not contain any cannons (with the exception of QAR and Black Pearl) whereas most Classic Pirate sets from the 2009 wave have a cannon. If you like firing cannons you might want to consider the Classic Pirates theme. Of course, you could always find some inexpensive firing cannons on Bricklink. Another small issue is that most rowing boats from the 2009 line are dark blue. Boats from the POTC come in different colours. The Isla De Muerta set comes with a brown boat while the Whitecap Bay comes with two black boats. In my opinion, blue is a refreshing change from the old brown boats.

MstrOfPppts Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I dont' know what your future plans are, but for example buying 5 or even ten of sets 6239. It's not that expencive and you get a cannon in each. Also the golden piece and green plants are nice details if you intend any mocking. The red coats can also be used in POTC dioramas all you need are some fleshy heads or not even that if you're not picky. As said tt all depends what you want to do with your LEGO - play with them, do some MOCing or just put the together and disply them ... Quote
______ Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I think you should buy some redcoats or bluecoats off Ebay. You can build ships or forts yourself but if you want to start with a few good ships the Blacks Seas Barracuda and the 2009 Imperial Flagship is a great way to go. There are some fantastic MOC's you can find of ships and things, all you need is the prefab ship hulls, a ship's wheel and sails and rigging, then you could create a ship. Just buy the necessary parts from Ebay or Bricklink. Quote
ultimate Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Hello all, First topic here and I'm pirates obsessed. Just wanted to post what I've got and what you think I could really benefit from getting. I've been toying with the idea of a big setup, half table city, half table or more pirates, with a big mountain in the middle splitting them. Goal is to make the kids and nieces brains melt when they see it when they're older. So here's what I've got: x2 black seas barracudas x2 carribean clippers Imperial Flagship 10210 Red Beard Runner 6289 Skull's Eye Schooner 6286 Brickbeard's Bounty 6243 Metal Beard's Sea Cow Queen Anne's Revenge Black Pearl various other sails/hulls - about x12 ships worth, but nothing specific. Here's my Lego closet, wish it was a room in itself so I could set this stuff up! http://i.imgur.com/mUVIkT1.jpg Edited April 7, 2014 by ultimate Quote
Sebeus I Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Whew, you definitely have a nice fleet, for a setup I suggest you build a port to accomodate your ships . Do you build own creations? Quote
Only Sinner Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Wait, you have a box of.. Puppies?! I say build 'em all and show it off right here. Quote
Americanlego234 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Cannon battle x2... I got into the line very late. I also have some pirates of the carribean stuff. Edited April 15, 2014 by Americanlego234 Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I only have the lego pirates brickmaster book and the fountain of youth. Quote
