LEGO Pirates Thread
 

With the LEGO Pirates sets for 2009 officially out in stores, I thought a new thread would be needed, as they no longer belong in the upcoming sets thread.

Here are the 2009 LEGO Pirates sets, now in stores:

#6192- Pirate Building Set

I just got the soliders arsenal and the kraken set and they are great. really like the raft from the kraken set. Have ordered the cannon attack. and pirate surivial sets.

I love this new theme. I bought the Cannon Battle set a week ago and bought the Soldiers' Arsenal & Pirate Survival sets at Toys R' Us today. It seems they are not available anywhere else for now except the LEGO stores.

Cannon Battle is really nice. I love the new modernized torsos of the Imperial Soldiers compared to the older ones, they have much more detail on the front and now detail on the back as well. Accessories are cool as well, it is nice to have a musket, two swords and a map! Soldiers' Arsenal is nice, a great set to get those Imperial Soldiers and weapons, but Pirate Survival is not as great because the entire set is mainly accessories. Nothing you really build there.

Just got the loot island built last night, and it rocks. 2 firing weapons, gems, gold coins, a map........

great addition to my pirates collection

Oh my god! I had no idea there were new pirate sets coming out.. I'm really excited now.

The LEGO Pirates website is up!

I think the sets are cool but I'm not a big enough fan to actually support the line with my money. I have some vintage sets that I got from a friend but I think that's as far as I'll go. Of course that Kraken set was tempting.....

I agree. Legos are just too expensive now a days, so I by them whenever there on sale. Such as the after Christmas clearance on the stocking stuffer ones. Although the pirates do bring back memories.

they're cool but no where near as good as the original late 80s line

I think they come close...
LEGO pirates are AWESOME!

I just found a couple of my old pirate minifigs. Do any of the new minifigs come with a hook for a hand?

Just Brickbeard. His is interesting though, because it looks to be a metallic gold color. Previous pirate minifigs, usually other captains, had the hook too, but in a flat grey color.
