Governor Mister Phes Posted January 9, 2006 Author Governor Posted January 9, 2006 Evil Willy, do you ever remember a time there was SYSTEM Pirate LEGO on store shelves? I do... Many moons ago. Quote
Evil Willy Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 I remember seeing castaway raft hanging on a little hook in a polly bag...I was so young though..Never hada chance to live the Pirate life.... Atleast not on shelves! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 9, 2006 Author Governor Posted January 9, 2006 Oh Willy it was a glorious sight to behold! I have vivid memories of seeing shelves filled with the stuff, perhaps the most I ever saw was at the LEGO store at the end of the 1993 Pirates Ahoy Exbihition. But sadly these memories will never be relived again :'( Quote

Governor Mister Phes Posted January 10, 2006 Author Governor Posted January 10, 2006 Oh that was an allergeic reaction to cutting onions. Spanish onions are potent little plants! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 11, 2006 Author Governor Posted January 11, 2006 I got a few old sets at a store in Canada which used to deal in inventory other stores couldn't sell. Way back in 2000ish I walked into a small store that had the whole spanish pirate line... I bought the IP and RBR and regretted ever since not buying the lot...my money was exhausted on the Royal knight stuff ; ) That'll teach you to buy Royal Knight stuff :oD How much did the Red Beard Runner and Imperial Trading Post cost at this Canadian store? Quote
Norro Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Ip actually was me trying to say the Armarda flagship (don't ask), it was $40 something cnd and the RBR (that's the green hull right?) was something like $27cnd... God Bless, Nathan Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 12, 2006 Author Governor Posted January 12, 2006 The Red Beard Runner has a red hull... The Cross Bone Clipper has a black hull with green interior Quote
Slobey Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Sorry to dig up an old thread but I picked up a dusty copy of Forbidden Island and Buried Treasure. They were in an toy store that obviously doesn't replace stock as I also picked up a few old Harry Potter and small Knights Kingdom 1 sets. The pirate sets were about 30% above what the list price should have been but it was worth it considering they've been sitting on the shelf for almost 15 years Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 15, 2006 Author Governor Posted May 15, 2006 I'm very laxed about bringing up old threads because crucial information can be added that wasn't provided on the threads initial run. However, if the thread was a news thread about upcoming sets which were released 2 years ago then it would be annoying! The sets have obviously been and gone, so why someone would felt the need to add more to such a thread would be held with scepticism. If they felt the need to discuss the sets further then they'd be better of creating an entirely new thread to do so. Anyway... Back to your post Mr Slobey... How many copies of these sets were there and how many did you acquire? Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 And it took me 3 pages to notice this thread belongs in another forum :-P So it shall be moved hehe *yoda* Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 G and you removed it (and deleted your post where you said you wanted it in the pirate and Castle forum !!) >:-( I love that amount of bad faith and sneaking around !! Way to show your attachment to the Community *y* No further comments :-| *yoda* Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 21, 2006 Author Governor Posted May 21, 2006 Errr... I wasn't the one who moved this thread in the first place, its a discussion thread, not a trading thread and that's why I created it and kept it in that particular forum. I was a bit puzzled as to why a thread I created was moved in the first place as I'm obviously aware of its existence. Since I was moving this thread that post was obsolete so that's why I removed it. I was going to let you know you know but I hadn't got around to it due to the million other things I've got to do. My attachment to the Community is expressed by the amount of work I've done in Pirate related and history theme threads and the establishment of this new forum and Pirate Ranking System which I'm certain is by no means lacking... Anyhow, I really wanna know if anyone seen good old SYSTEM Pirate LEGO sets in stores lately, rather than debating the ethics of moving this thread about... Quote
NatedogMSU Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 some older legos are available at EVANS toy store in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Last time i was their they still had the older mars sets Quote
Col. Whipstick Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 What, real lego in real stores?! 'Tis folklore to be sure... all the treasures of Eldorado couldn't compare to the very idea! Even in little ol' South Africa the merchandise and marketing is about 6 months behind the world but real lego was what... a decade ago? Actually no... JT and the Adventurers still counts as real lego but other than that the last few years of lego have been very pants in comparison to the 90's. Quote
Captain Roger Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 hum...i saw old pirate sets in late 90s I saw an Imperial trading post in 1996...i didn't buy it but i bought another in the same year I saw some renegade runner, a rock island refuge and a SES in 1997 Quote
Capn Frank Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 some older legos are available at EVANS toy store in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
