(...) But it's great news for anyone looking to get into Pirates for the first time (thus this posting)! Wow. Look at that page. Funky. I wonder what the story is? all best Lindsay (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

COOL, is the only word for it. I know that the front end loader will sell well, as an ebay auction for the same set did very well, US$150 +. I'm sure the Pirates would also be a great seller. The other set i'm not sure about, but myself wouldn't (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) My two bricks? Some guy in germany was cleaning out a warehouse somewhere and finds some dozens of boxes of a couple of particular older sets that didn't sell well (compared to other sets in those years). Atch! he says what will we do with (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.general)

~Too funny... lol :)~ (...) Ha, egocentric Americans! (although 'I' have no qualms with the ubiquitous U.S. demand and buying power, cause we in Canada always get their nifty stuff :) ) (...)

(...) I agree. During my dark ages I would still go into toy shops and while I didn't buy anything I seemed to have impeccable taste. The sets I would have bought were the pirate ships and original space shuttle launch pads sets. Sets which sell for (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Blaaagg! Why are they reissuing set 6289 Red Beard Runner? That was the final "large ship" in the line, and notorious for the poor design quality compared to earlier pirate ships. It'd make more sense for them to reissue one of the first (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I suppose you could look at it like that, (personally, I don't own one, not because of design, but because I couldn't afford one at the time that they were generally available). What interests me (and probably most other Pirateers, new and (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I strongly suspect you're right, because (1) they're not that great/popular, and (2) they're not that old. A set that only dissappeared from the shelves in the last year or two can hardly be a classic, can it?? (...) Now this is a good idea (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.general)
