My dad owned the Imperial Flagship and now it's mine. He bought two of them and MOCed it to use the center hull section from the second set to entend the first so that it had three cannon on broadside and two masts. He also put two more cannon on the bow with no carriage wheels.
I trying to get better at doing longer videos now that I have the time for it😂 and thank you! Glad you learned something from it and you found it funny I never know if people will get my jokes😂😂
See the back packs are nice but honestly the soldiers shouldnt have them. Since they are not marching troops usaully troops on ships didn’t carry backpacks around.
This is my favorite faction from Pirates. I remember I had the Outpost and the Imperial flagship at the time and they were very important to me (the ship especially!). This faction helped me turn a lot into the Afol that I am today! I never had the Imperial Trading Post but I´m planning to get all the necessary parts and make one myself.
That was a fun video to watch, thanks for making it! I think the Red Coats also appeared in a comic in the June 1993 issue of the Disney Adventures magazine, where Jack (the Lego Maniac) meets them in part three of 'Peril in Pirate Cove'
I wouldn't be surprised if the change from bluecoats to redcoats and finally Aramda was done to try and boost sales in various countries by appealing to them specifically. The bluecoats with their fleur de lis flags are modeled on the French. The Redcoats with the flower removed from the flag are obviously British. Finally the Armada with the elaborate red and yellow crest with conquistador helmets are obviously Spanish.
Thanks for the lore. I didn't even know these classics had such fun bits of trivia and story. I look forward more castle and space! These videos got me super into castle thanks dude!
@@BrickingUpBrad Well a personal favorite i've always wanted since I was a kid has been the skeleton tower from the fantasy era. My cousin had it and I could never forget it. I hope to collect pretty much all of the fantasy era sets as it was my introduction to the theme and I just personally love anything to do with skeletons, black and red color schemes, and all the rest of it.
My goal is to do all imperial factions for pirates before moving on. But I did record the audio for it! It will come out next Friday or the week after depending on if I can finish it before I go to brick fair va!
4:57 I pieced mine together. And it has 8 cannons. But as you know, the Black Seas Barracuda received an update, in Pirates of Barracuda Bay. Put together that ship was kinda dinky, so I MASSIVELY EXPANDED IT to a 14 gun Frigate.
3:27 i remember having that set.... I chewed up the map my mind was not at it place before i love Legos sorry and the red soldier was no good because the limbs won't stay it places but i give the pirate dude with the green hat a racer outfit 😎
Those were the days I agree, Lego should bring these sets back Awesome video You can load the cannon and fire! is almost as good as A man has fallen into the water in Lego city!
So, I managed to pick up a couple sets in the later run of Pirates in the US with the Red Coats, and later Iron Hook and the Islanders, and I found that the cannons didn't have the spring loaded firing feature that was advertised in earlier sets. As a kid, I found this disappointing. So, when they released new pirate sets with actual functioning spring cannons, I made an upgrade to my small Schooner, the only pirate ship I had.
I'm an American, yet I have never had a problem with the Red Coats { whenever my cousins or elementary school classmates would play Pirates, I always wanted to play a Red Coat } , I have also been an Anglophile for as long as I can remember, I wonder if there is a connection there?
wow i i. i. aa i loved it beautiful no fr tho another shocking video like i didnt know like any of this!!! great video noww we need a mtron video! just an idea tho! 😊
These videos are so good! But man, the imperial flagship has 'brittle brown' issues, including the masts. It's so sad to see. The entire thing is brown, and it's all susceptible. I really hope we get a re-release of it like Galaxy Explorer or El Dorado Fortress.
How the hell do you have only 4000 views and already over 50 comments? One of my videos has only gained 41 comments over one and a half year while having over 31k views. Why is RU-vid so damn broken? Also, keep up the good work and maybe cover the islanders in the next video
