jsadighi Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I registered an account just to say that I won an ebay auction for the Caribbean Clipper! About $90 (that price includes the shipping cost). Even includes a couple of extra imperial armada soldiers. I've had my eye on that set for a long, long time to complement the Black Seas Barracuda and Imperial Flagship sets that I kept (with boxes and instructions!) since I was teenager back in the 1990s! The only drawback is that the Clipper doesn't come with the box or instructions and one of the clips on the main flag is broken (I can live with that), but I'm ok with looking up the instructions online.

Governor Mister Phes Posted March 27, 2016 Governor Posted March 27, 2016 5150 LEGO Pirates Service Pack MISP from 1990. I am such a LEGO Pirates nerd! Quote
Hive Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Nice bag, Phes. It's just a Bricklink seller recycling an official LEGO bag though, right? Quote
The Imperial Soldier Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Nice bag, Phes. It's just a Bricklink seller recycling an official LEGO bag though, right? I've seen it for sale before and it is an actual Lego pack with Pirate specific pieces in case you lose them from the main sets. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted March 28, 2016 Governor Posted March 28, 2016 Nice bag, Phes. It's just a Bricklink seller recycling an official LEGO bag though, right? Nope, it's the real deal. The LEGO pieces are actually inside two seal packets... so that's like 2xMISP! The outer packet is the general LEGO Service Packet while the inner packet is bar-coded with the set ID. Quote
Hive Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Ah, pretty sweet. Especially the plumes. I love me some plumes. Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 i have 2 of these service pack Bags and they are soo cool..( have opened them to complete some projects Quote
Matthias Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I could never open those packs. They are just perfect when unused for ever Lego 6281 ( Pirates Perilous Pitfall ) in Neat Condition: You are living my dream Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I could never open those packs. They are just perfect when unused for ever You are living my dream Thanks My Friend! indeed..unpacking these are difficult to tell i would love from my deep heart to share this with you :) cheers Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted March 29, 2016 Governor Posted March 29, 2016 I could never open those packs. They are just perfect when unused for ever That's why I got one... to preserve the nostalgia forever. If I wanted the pieces for building I'd get them in used condition via Bricklink. Quote
Capn Frank Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 5150 LEGO Pirates Service Pack MISP from 1990. That's a good pack and find. I love those old feather plumes. Quote
Captain Dee Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 That's a good pack and find. I love those old feather plumes. Agreed on both counts. The new-style feather/flame pieces are okay, but the variety of the old ones was a lot better IMO. But I couldn't possibly leave the pack alone... good thing you bought it and not me, to preserve some collectable value... Quote
raarghh Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I just clicked home a brand new Lord of the Rings 79008 called "Pirate ship Ambush", I dont know if this qualifies as a real pirate set but atleast it got "pirate" in its name and it looks like a pirate ship :) Quote
MarcoMe Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 This is my last buy. It is not so cheap :40 euro plus shipping cost Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) This is my last buy. It is not so cheap :40 euro plus shipping cost 40 Euros + shipping is indeed not cheap, but for what you got i think it is great deal :-) Edited April 2, 2016 by VintageLegoEra Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 2, 2016 Governor Posted April 2, 2016 That's a good pack and find. Thank you, Phred! Here is the reverse side of the Service Pack packet packaging in case anyone was wondering... Quote

The Imperial Soldier Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Any Photos! :) Finally built all 3 boxed sets and here they are! 6276 Fort Eldorado - 2 bricks missing but I was buying a smaller set off the same seller so messaged asking if he could check he had them and he just got the bricks out of his spares and sent them on. Boxed sets and more eBaying! by The Imperial Soldier, on Flickr 6270 Forbidden Island - All there apart from the green brick at the top of the palm tree. Boxed sets and more eBaying! by The Imperial Soldier, on Flickr 6285 Black Seas Barracuda - Had repro colour printed instructions. Missing a couple of yellow translucent pieces for torches. There was an extra pirate figure included although several of the pirates don't match what is supposed to be in the set. Also the string that runs from bow to stern is missing as well as the string for the crane. Boxed sets and more eBaying! by The Imperial Soldier, on Flickr My new buys are not quite as exciting although they are parts I need to smarten up the Bluecoat army. Red epaulettes and capes - I have a lot of Imperials that I gained in auction lots but they tended to come in a mix of tricorne hats and mostly no epaulettes or yellow epaulettes. Would like to convert these into soldiers and the red epaulettes seem to be in short supply in mixed lots. Thinking of using the red capes to create a few figures to be Governor Broadside's personal guard. More eBay bits by The Imperial Soldier, on Flickr 10 set of shakos, backpacks, muskets and pistols - with the addition of these I hope to convert more of the mixed Bluecoat figures into regular soldiers. More eBay bits by The Imperial Soldier, on Flickr Here are some of the Bluecoats I need to convert. After getting more red epaulettes I may actually convert a few into sailors to bolster the crew of my Caribbean Clipper. Bluecoats! by The Imperial Soldier, on Flickr Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 3, 2016 Governor Posted April 3, 2016 Vintage Sets: 1- 6247 - Bounty Boat 2- 6248 - Volcano Island 3- 6266 - Cannon Cove NIce haul! Are these still sealed? The perforated thumb tabs still look intact. Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 NIce haul! Are these still sealed? The perforated thumb tabs still look intact. Yes. All are Sealed @ The Imperial Soldier: Very nice Sets. Look in nice condition too! :) So are we going to see a Pirate layout soon? ;) Quote
The Imperial Soldier Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 @ The Imperial Soldier:Very nice Sets. Look in nice condition too! :) So are we going to see a Pirate layout soon? ;) The Fort Eldorado and Forbidden Island sets are immaculate. The Black Seas Barracuda could do with a clean. Will need to break it down and clean the pieces properly. I've recently got hold of another unboxed BSB and loads of spare parts and minifigs. They're a bit of a mix so I need to go through properly and see what's there. They were also really dusty and dirty so I've broken everything down and cleaned it in warm soapy water but there are still bits of residue so it's all going to need a more thorough clean. Will try to go through everything I have at the weekend and organise it into built sets and setup the Bluecoat and Pirate armies. I've accumulated a fair amount of extra parts for use in MOCs too so hope to start building some things soon. Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Received ( Lego 6249 PIRATES AMBUSH w/Shooting Cannon ).....this set will be great fit to 6296 and 6281 :) Edited April 4, 2016 by VintageLegoEra Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 4, 2016 Governor Posted April 4, 2016 Yes. All are Sealed Dare I ask how much they cost? Quote
