| (...) Press-ganging troops is always difficult. Lessee, 133 red soldiers, 120 blue, 20 black, 50 armada, and a whole lotta scurvy pirates. Not enough. More! Us pyrates never be satifisfied when it comes to loot. (...) Hi there, I'm Johnny Storm! Hi (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) These would all be good Classic releases. Sabre Island, Cannon Cove, and Lagoon Lockup (6265, 66, and 67 respectively for onlookers) are all solid mid-size to smallish sets. I'm not sure that they are Legends, but I wouldn't turn any of them (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.pirates)

| To help with the Pirate line, I would prefer to see a re-release of the Pirate mini-figs sets such as : 6204, 6251, 6252, 6257, and/or even 6265, 6266, and 6267. Hugh (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.pirates)

|
| Black Sea Barracuda will return as the first Pirates Legend, probably helped in part that new Pirates sets have been absent for several years. It's quite possible that all the other nominees will see production as a Legend before we see another (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.pirates)
| | | | | Re: New legend is up
|
| (...) I'm hoping to see this soon, as every other major theme I can think of has been recognized as a legend, except the most noble of themes, space. However, there's no way I'm gonna wait up to a year, or until the star wars contract expires before (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates)

| | | | | Re: New legend is up

| (...) Noooo!!!! I was hoping against all odds that the Battrax would somehow hold through all odds and somehow make it to the legend category, guess my vote was futile. I think it is very disadvantageous that the pirates sets got a foothold above (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates)

And I have my doubts about those anchors, too - they're just not going to hold a large frigate in place in anything more than a slight breeze (or a mild current). And if the tiny anchor does, by some minor (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au)
