Random LEGO Pirate lore time at LEGOLAND

[TalonCard]

Ahoy there,

For those lore hunters out there, I've come across a few tidbits from LEGOLAND Parks recently! First this from the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in San Antonio for an upcoming Pirate event:

"Listen up shipmates, there’s treasure to be found! Captain Brickbeard is on the hunt for some very precious treasure so he can buy a new ship and show his archenemy Redbeard who is the best once and for all!

He needs YOU on his crew to help search LEGOLAND Discovery Center Island for the golden haul before his new nemesis, Pirate Princess Argenta plunders the prize!"

We haven't had much information on Brickbeard and Redbeard's relationship--turns out they're archenemies. Not too surprising. I think this is the first time we've seen Argenta's name used outside of the LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed mobile game too. (She's the pirate lady included in the 70411 Treasure Island set, and the daughter of Redbeard according to LEGO Quest and Collect, so it makes sense that she'd be Brickbeard's enemy too.)

Then there's the Treasure Behold show at LEGOLAND Florida, which includes a few elements inspired by the 1989 storyline: Popsy the Parrot makes an appearance, showing that she/he had other owners prior to Redbeard, and there's a psychic pirate named Sabatina after the Imperial island.

Not a lot, but it's good to see the existing Pirate lore expanding while we wait for new sets to come out. :)

I don't think we've had any information on the relationship between Brickbeard and Redbeard so this is an exciting expansion of the canon.

 

Here's the YouTube video of the show:
