LEGO Pack of 3 Pirate Imperial Guards Red Coats with Shako Hat

Product Information

I have one Broadside (Admiral of navy), three Bluecoats with tricornes (Naval officers) and any number of pirates (sailors or sometimes pirates). Though we do appreciate your interest and enthusiasm we do ask that you refrain from bumping old topics. This otherwise sounds very brave, although in Pirate Comic he then remarks that they are still too young to die. Wouldn't make much sense for a French governor to appear alongside British troops without a highly ranking officer or dignitary present.

The new faction is often seen as the British (with the blue being French) this decision is only due to the fact that in the 18 th and 19 th century the British where famous for their Redcoats (that even being their nickname at the time). She doesn't have any special title, but she is somehow very special to Brickbeard as she is his girlfriend. Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age. I like to believe that the two pirates with moustaches where from the original set and have found themselves unlucky again (especially the one who lost a leg between 1989 and 1992). For instance the 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner (1993), which succeeded 6285 Black Seas Barracuda (1989) as the main Pirates ship set, implemented a mechanism for the ship's wheel to control the rudder which necessitated a smaller and less detailed aft cabin, plus the Skull's Eye Schooner's cannons are attached to rotating turntables on sliders instead of the more realistic placement of cannons upon wheeled naval carriages like earlier Lego Pirates ship sets.Broadside lives in his Eldorado Fortress with his sister Prudence and his niece Camilla, although they were never portrayed in any sets. This year saw the inclusion of a brand new faction, for that faction we received a ship and large base for them to operate out of, I view the pirate themed sets released this year as simply placeholder something to keep the public happy while you released the impressive sets later, but for the imperials this year saw a great couple of sets, ok the officer to soldier ration was way off, but still at this point in time we see three evenly strengthen factions squaring off against each other. Still if you were lucky enough to own the large island baseplate from Forbidden Island 6270 and about three of these sets, you could make a brilliant pirate village as the actual shanty in this set looks very nice.

I like your opinion I have never thought about that before, after all, all pirates are a little impoverished.

The Imperial Guards were reintroduced in 2009–10, and the Imperial Soldiers were reintroduced in 2015; the Guards and Soldiers were the respective government opponents of the Pirates during the brief periods of Lego Pirates revival.

Two 1996 Pirate sets, "Red Beard Runner" and "Armada Flagship", and one 1994 Islanders set, "Enchanted Island", were re-released for 2001. This resulted in Lego having three factions in 1994 and 1995, with the Pirates battling the Imperial Guard on the high seas and disturbing the Islanders while seeking treasure. Most collectors (kids with bricks) made the Bluecoats and Redcoats team up at this point due to the fact that most of them where greatly outnumbered.

The smaller Imperial Soldiers sets that continued on sale until the end of 1993 were considered part of the Guards, in part as placeholders since only two more catalogue sets were released for the Guards after 1992. Still I say remove the Imperial, boat and shark and replace with a small island baseplate, an extra pirate and some landscape bricks (for stones and such) then you would have a much better set. The downside of this set is the tiny flag (like the imperials are ashamed of being there) and the fact that again the ration of Officer to soldier is way off.In 2002, a Lego Pirates-themed land was introduced to Legoland Deutschland Resort, based on the Lego Pirates toy theme. saw the release of a new Lego ICONS set 10320 Eldorado Fortress, which is a brick built redesign of the 1989 set (6276) and due to its modular design can be reconfigured for maximum play value. Ironhook commands the masted raft 6261 Raft Raiders (also known as 6261 Ironhook's Escape Craft) (1992) and the small pirate ship 6268 Renegade Runner (1993). A comic book entitled "The Gold Medallion" was also released in that year, as well as a Ladybird Book series. Another pirate leader was Captain Ironhook who has been suggested as a rival to Redbeard; both minifigures were similar except that Ironhook had a tattered shirt (some releases of Ironhook have a peg leg).

To balance the scene I supplemented a lot of other blue bodies, and either turned them upside down or the one's that were piratey I made them artillery soldiers or just plain corpses. The surrender of Cornwallis's army at Yorktown in 1781 allowed the Whig opposition to gain a majority in parliament, and British operations were brought to an end. But I remember this ship being a lot cheaper than its counterparts and also though small it is quite complete, there is space on deck and the cannon rotates fully which is a nice touch. The idea behind this set is very good; we finally get a set for the large pirate ships to actually attack, a trading post must contain worthy booty for a pirate to plunder. I have some Dark-blue coats that represent American Marines and officers with a couple of red coats to represent the ship's band.Building Techniques: How much skill do you think the creator of this MOC has, in terms of building technique?
