What are your Top 3 Favorite Elements from the 2009 Pirate Wave

[Rick]

Looks like the telescope piece is really popular!

It's something that was introduced for Pirates (mainly) but can be and is used by TLG across almost all themes. It's just a really clever element with lots of potential uses.

It already exists in brown. Check out these sets.

Those are dark brown, I think he ment the redish brown color.

The telescope is usable to all LEGO themes, so I say that for sure.

The Island is lots of fun but sort of limited, but a good piece.

The Fire piece is a nice new piece again usable anywhere fire is needs not just pirates.

The pirate/soldier Torsos are all really great and the Shako is super cool printed, but only great o pirate fans. I love them, but too usuable in other themes.

The new fire piece is great! I think it looks great on its own but also when mixed with the old fire piece for a larger blaze.

I love the telescope, but I hate that it came in gold - not a big fan of that myself; especially for the pirates! Where did a lowly stranded pirate find a shiny gold eyepiece from?! It works for a high-ranking Imperial officer, though...but enough on that =P My three favorite parts, in order:

1. Admiral Torso - It's so awesome, and the best part, it's blue! It's my pirate sigfig's torso of choice, too. =D

2. The double-sided Soldier torso, and really all the double sided torsos in the line. They're all so awesome, but the little details on the soldier one make it the best!

3. This was tough, but in the end I had to go with the new printed Shako parts. Putting them in such cheap sets was a brilliant move; I'd love to see just how many of these they moved throughout 09!

God knows Martin Super and I did our part to help them move those sets along. I am very happy that they made those sets. I wish they would have given us just one impulse set with some bluecoats.

Did we even get any new molds for the pirate line? We got some new colored elements, but no new parts. Which is rather unusual for a line, isn't it?

The only possible one I can think of is the telescope, but was it used earlier? And I guess the castle wall element made its debut in the fort.

I would be interested in that number too. I am not a big army builder and I ended up with about 25, so I bet a LOT. Some of us here have at least hundreds.

The Telescope was first used in the pirates. We also got the new fire and dynamite.

[B-Lister]

Dynamite was first used in Power Miners, tho.

also, Dynamite isn't really correct to the period. Granted this is just a 'fantasy' world, so I'm willing to forgive.
