Let’s get more LEGO Pirates lore for sure, I grew up with the red coats in 2008/2009/2010

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I am planning on diving into all the lore but next Friday will be red coats!

[@GeovanniPenguin]

My long, long relatives grew up with the redcoats in the 1770’s

[@geoff420]

In my personal head canon, the blue coats are the moderner version of the black falcons and the redcoats are the moderner version of the lion knights. It's a cool way to tie together the different themes.

[@hanzocloud]

Black Falcons -> Blue Coats -> Blacktron Crusaders -> Red Coats -> Mtron

[@ThePeacemaker848]

@@hanzocloud Forestmen --> PIrates --> Futron. All use different coloured out fits. I think Bricking up Brad can use this cross theme idea for a future lore video!

I love this headcanon!

[@nathangerber1547]

I was about to say that.

[@RinglornLoreGuy]

Holy cow, Brad! I think this might be one of the most well researched deep dives into lego lore I’ve ever seen! Genuinely, the care you put into exporting not only sets and comics, but audio dramas and video games. So glad this channel is starting to pick up speed, but it’s still underrated as hell in my book. Hope your adventures fare well!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

You are to kind! I do agree I think this is definitely my best work! I feel like I finally found my groove with this one! Definitely still more I want to work on to improve for sure, but what’s the fun in life if you do not grow and learn!😂

[@klaykid117]

I really like the continuity for the pirates era. We start off with French and then it's slowly moves to the British taking control just like in real life and then we later move into the cowboy era with the United States colonial militia

[@FlatDerrick]

If that were the case, where are the spanish? Lego chose red and blue not to signify two different kinds of colonial power, but garrison troops and marines of the same colonial power.

[@MayoHosko]

This might be your best intro to a video series yet

The amount of lore there is insanity itself! Probably more than any other Lego theme ever. Keep 'em coming!

[@Marco1973est]

Awesome video ! Felt like I was watching a movie and history lesson all at once. Music selection and narration was brilliant ! Nice job 👍🏼! Never knew there was so much backstory 🧐🤯😳

[@TheKingOfMadness-ez1oi]

I love listening to all the old and new Lego lore from the older themes and a couple years ago I got barracuda bay. I then found a bunch of really old blue coat Minifigures from when my mum and uncle were kids and I can’t wait to get el dorado fortress. Thanks for learning the lore and sharing it with us!

[@Gameprojordan]

I just picked up a bulk box of used Lego a couple days ago of lego, and after watching this video I realize that set 6245 is in it! It's the sole pirate set in the box

[@BrickingUpBrad]

That’s sick!

[@hetwitblad6544]

Wait, the bluecoats were supposed to be the good guys? As a small kid they were the baddies whenever I played, when growing up it became a bit less black and white and they just worked for an evil boss (a bit like zorro), and even later I started to write fanfiction where the pirates were rebels against the empire (I guess starwars started to influence me there). I also sometimes switched the hats of the privates and lieutenants to promote them to corporal and captain

[@ChannelBerpindah]

Sabre island my first lego back in 1991.

Awesome job matey, looking forward to more videos in this series

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Glad to hear it!

[@readingking1421]

I love LEGO lore. Especially from the themes from before I was born; slightly-younger me was an idiot missing out on the 2010's era Pirates and Castle reboots.

[@DragonMasterSubo]

Man... I love this channel. Hope your sub count goes crazy with all the new content you keep doing. I know it's blasphemy, but I was never a big fan of the non-boat pirates and imperial sets. I really love the new barracuda bay, el dorado, and 3 in 1 sets. They've completely revitalized my love for the theme.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I appreciate it! I’m glad people enjoy the subjects I do videos on! Honestly I get it though. Some of the bone ship based sets are trash 😂 but there are some really cool ones! Yes!!! Those sets are great! They definitely did the same for me! Which one of the new ones is your favorite?

[@DragonMasterSubo]

@@BrickingUpBrad That's a hard choice. Barracuda Bay gives us the amazing ship build, but the modularity of El Dorado makes it one of the best playsets Lego has ever produced. I think I have to give the nod to barracuda, even in the shipwrecked island mode it's simply gorgeous. I think it's overall just more detailed and accessorized.

[@OURBacon48]

Amazing transition at the end

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thank you!!! Not going to lie I am very proud of that😂 I sat there for like 30 minutes trying to get the timing of it right😂

[@cameronklein7980]

Awesome video! As a new fan to lego pirates, can you make a video going over all of the different Blue coat minifigs?

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I definitely will try to do one at some point . But it will probably be about every type of imperial soldier.

[@cameronklein7980]

@BrickingUpBrad that would be awesome! I am a Star Wars fan, but I have always been interested in pirates. I picked up the bew Eldorado fortress, and now I am on a hunt to build up my blue coats.

@cameronklein7980 oh for sure! I would say wait till they come on bricks and peices if they do that!

[@TeflonDave]

@@cameronklein7980 I can't ever seem to link stuff in the comments, but there are at least two places that make REALLY nice, laser-cut, vinyl torso stickers! Brickstickershop has gorgeous Bluecoat and Redcoat torsos! You can make all the soldiers you like! Sparestickers makes beautiful cloth sails, though I'm not seeing a wide variety. There are lots of sites that have templates and fabric recommendations to cut your own though!

Hi,any chance you can make a content about the seemingly forgotten theme of LEGO Samurai and Ninja in the latter half of the 90's? They were massively underrated and as far as I know, it was a Castle Sub-theme.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

It is a theme I plan on doing. My goal is to do every Lego theme. And yes it is a Lego castle sub theme. It is definitely on my list but I have a lot of videos to make before then!

[@highlightboy23]

Amazing job Brad! And yea they do need to upgrade their ships 😅 (another imperial flagship style build Lego 🙏 🙏)

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Right!!! Like we need a new crazy big Imperial ship lol

[@TeflonDave]

Fantastic work, Brad! Excellent content. Very well-researched! It might be worth noting that the Caribbean Clipper / Seahawk looks really nice with one or two (or even three!) more center sections. One would be pretty simple to slip in and maybe add rigging and sails to the rear mast. That would make it the same size as the Redbeard Runner. Two would make is as big as the Barracuda or the Schooner, and it'd definitely need sails on the rear mast. Three would make it as big as the 2010 Imperial Flagship! Though not as tall, it would definitely need a third mast added. Maybe you can review some of the replacement sails available some time. Really great video. Thanks, I enjoyed it! I even let the commercials run for ya 🤑

[@BrickingUpBrad]

That’s is a really good point about adding more sections! Definitely would be the smart thing to do! I appreciate the support, I put a lot of work into the research so I’m glad it’s appreciated, and suffering through all the commercials😂.

[@klausm5460]

I´ll have to check if I still got that pirates cartoon. Interestingly, while me and my buddy with whom I mostly played LEGO were rooting for the "good" Crusaders in the castle world it wasn´t that easy with the pirates theme. The pirates were just too cool (which admittedly could have also been said about the Black Falcons). Nevertheless, he had the Carribean Clipper and I had the Black Seas Barracuda which came in handy for canon battles. 😁
