One easy solution to the whole "pirate minifigs are too similar" issue - build just the named characters as intended and then mix and match the parts for the unnamed pirates.
Objectively the imperial soldiers era from 1989-1991 is the best but I prefer the imperial guards era from 1992-1995 because of the imperial trading post, skull eye schooner and the fact that I grew up with the islanders from 1994
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Mayo. I’ll be talking about either the Imperial Guards and/or Islanders on the next episode of LEGO Pirates Retrospect (might have to split that episode into 2 parts) - should be dropping later this month!
When I was a kid around 1989 I had a lego pirates jumper, with lots of pictures of the fights between the pirates and imperial soldiers on the front and a little lego brick stitched into the front that came with a lego pirate clipped onto it. Wish I still had it, bet it is worth a fortune now lol.
I've heard it hasn't been selling too well. I hope that changes. Perhaps many are like me- waiting for double VIP and/or a fantastic GWP to pick it up.
@@OurToyWorldI love classic pirates and I like the eldorado remake..I'm just not sure I love it in a 215 euro kinda way. It's a price point that makes me think long and hard. The new viking village set I can pick up for €120 and that's a much lower psychological barrier for me. Even if I have zero connection to legi vikings!
I remember when i got that comic. In the Store they had dozens of them at cheap price under 5,-€. And now they would be worth 700,-€ each If only i had bought them all.
@@Glubus Yeah, they released some teaser trailers/footage/mini advertisements (I don't know what to call them) but I guess the new season is called Dragon's rising
@@OurToyWorld OK I’ve done some walking and from what I’ve seen it looks interesting. I’m just glad that they’re keeping the original cast and the animation style. I don’t think I’m going to be getting quite as much ninjago going forward just for space reasons but the Destinys bounty is definitely something I will be getting as well as any of the ninjago modulars.
