Since a few people are cheating on Shiri Dori's Castle survey and putting
pirates answers there, this must be nipped in the bud.  So......

1.  When did you get into Lego Pirates?

2.  Do you own any of the big four: 6285 (Barracuda, BSB), 6286 (Schooner,
SES), 6276 (El Dorado Fortress), 6277 (Imperial Trading Post)?

3.  What's the most you paid for a ship?

4.  What's the most you paid for a non-ship set?

5.  What's your favorite non-ship pirate set other than the two big Imperial
sets noted above?

6.  What's the one set you don't have that you really, really want?

7.  How many blue-coated Imperial soldiers do you have?

8.  Red coats?

9.  Armada guys?

10. Pirate wenches?

11. General pirate figures other than the above?
