Lego Rewind Ep.34- Pirates

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

Everyone.... I know the captain from 2009 is called Brickbeard. If a dozen other people have already said it in the comments, you don't need to repeat them. What really confused me is the 2016 Brickbeard, a character who goes around attacking characters from other Lego themes of the time, and looks COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! So either there are two Brickbeards, two Redbeards, or one of each and a third guy who's some fusion of both. I just wish Lego would make up their minds, frankly. I think it's pretty clear that the 2009 character was designed to be Redbeard (seriously, look at him) and they changed the name at the last second for... some reason.

@@ильянвокиво yeah. Because LEGO pirates is very historically accurate and not fantasy at all

[@minnion2871]

@@ильянвокиво Right because clearly there is no room for fantasy when it comes to epic pirate adventures.... I mean its not like they couldn't do a pirate theme that has crews as varied and interesting as the ones from One Piece... Where each pirate ship is it's own unique faction with it's own distinct crew and themes.... and then throw in a neutral/good guy faction... Some ideas for factions that would work with a pirate theme Metalbeard: Give him an updated Sea Cow set, and a crew of steampunk pirates... Crew could include a steampunk robot pirate, a first mate that has the cyborg arm from the Monster Hunter line with swap-able hands, a guy with a nice bushy mustache and of course one pirate wearing a random bowler hat. Could also give him a cool steampunk themed dock to unload his loot at that not only has a crane but also a place for Metalbeard to sit, and a conveyor belt to scoot loot into his lair, perhaps a couple army builder kits that have smaller paddle-wheel boats to support his flagship... Brickbeard/redbeard: Your classic pirate faction lead by a classic pirate that thinks that pirate should just be pirates and is a stickler for tradition... (Which is why he makes anyone who suggests that maybe upgrading the ship to an ironclad walk the plank.) His ship is more or less just like the classic pirate ships of old, and his base is of course a classic pirate base built into a skull shaped island.... Monkeybeard: More of a castaway than a proper pirate but regardless he still managed to cobble together something resembling a flagship from the shipwreck that marooned him on a tropical island full of monkeys... (His ship doesn't have a traditional mast or sails, but rather he improvised using palm trees and vines to create something that kind of looks like a mast if you squint real hard...) Needless to say he filled out his entire crew with monkeys... (Don't expect to find gold or jewels in his treasure chests as a result, instead he treasures banana's cherries, and apples and tends to hoard them....) Natually instead of cannons he uses a catapult to fling coconuts(and the new octopus from the Lego Friends line) at his enemies... (Overall his theme has a real Swiss Family Robinson feel to it and I guess he would be a neutral faction if not for the fact that he raids other ships for their bannanas) Captain Squidbeard: Actually a Space Alien turned pirate who's main goal is to repair his tech so he can get back to space... His crew consisting mostly of alien robots that have been (badly) disguised as pirates, and his first mate is another alien who could almost pass for human if not for the tentacles sh has for legs.. his main flag ship looks like someone tried to build a proper pirate ship out of half of a broken alien space ship... His docks/island base would be based on the crash site of the "mothership" Commander White-beard: This is your classic imperial "Good guy" faction or at least was(more neutral now)... Has a mostly standard wooden ship and a long standing friendly rivalry with Brickbeard/Redbeard, and often have conversations about the "good ol' days" back before these new pirates with their high tech space whatsits, and steam powered whosits started plundering the high seas... His docks are perhaps the biggest being sort of a trading port/market where all of the other factions can go for supplies between big adventures...(I figure the docks would have a couple market stalls with fish and hotdogs and perhaps some steaks, as well as a fruit stand, and then have a sort of bar/tavern where people can meet up, and of course what docks would be complete without a crane... ) Then of course we get the return of the Spanish faction too while technically not pirates they still often compete with the other pirates for the current waves mcguffin...

Oh, I remember the pirates theme... I always wanted one of those big 2009 pirateships so I could play Lego pirates instead of my boring(to my younger self) Fisher Price pirate ship. I eventually made my own, very blocky and square, pirateship with sails made of construction paper. I loved that pirate ship. It had a figurehead, masts, an upper and lower deck, and come custom cannons. I even made a Bionicle Kraken to fight the boat! That boat sailed the carpet seas for many months until I had to borrow some pieces to make another spaceship I never did get an official pirate ship... oh well. Guess I'll have to fix that.

[@ProbablyOkay]

I loved the islanders! I had most of their sets, and far from making me think they were dumb, I thought they were awesome and it made me want to learn more about pacific island cultures. I remember LEGO even had an article about the history and cultures of the pacific islands in one of their magazines. So yeah, they’re cartoonish just like every other character and faction in the pirate line, but they sure didn’t come off as reductive or racist to my 8 year old self.

[@Wyattporter]

[@Maniac4Bricks]

Another satisfying episode of Lego rewind, of what I believe is an underrated series of things. I grew up starting with 2009 Lego Pirates, but I was aware of the ones previous to that. I think my first introduction was red beard and his car in like a Racers, and I always love the style of the Pirates sense no matter what year they were released. Strangely enough, I wasn't really involved with Pirates of the Caribbean and didn't pick up any sets except for a few figures. But I do hope for another Pirates revival in a couple years.

[@MrPeanut624]

I have to agree, the background art for various Lego series was what really *made* them for me. Even something as simple as the warms and cool colors of a sunset was enough to give young me tons of inspiration. It was amazing how Lego could do so much with what they had. This series has been amazing, and although I didn't comment on it much I am so glad I found it when i did.

[@autofigure00]

One thing I especially love about Pirates 1 is the faces and simple prints. I think the face prints / design were PERFECT in pirates and I wish modern day lego minifigs had more classic style faces in a similar way to these faces.

[@AlanGChenery]

I adored the logo pirates line as a kid... And even as a kid I always assumed the red jacketed soldiers and the blue jacketed soldiers were intended to be different nations. After all their ships are similarly colour themed and each set would tend to be one colour or the other. I seem to remember there being more red ships and blue land sets, so as a kid I concluded they were the British Royal Navy and Spanish colonial forces. respectively.

Yeah I just hope that Lego would make a new wave of Pirates but having sets use a lot more modern building techniques and styles that will make the set more appealing to more adult fans in terms of building challenge.

[@stoutyyyy]

The first lego set i ever got was the junior pirate ship, I reused the mast and hull pieces for years after. I always loved the pirates theme as a kid, and when the pirates of the caribbean license theme came out I had a bunch of those. I still use the redcoats and ship pieces for historical MOCs.

[@jmaster2855]

Nice look back, man! This isn't entirely related to this video, but one of the things I loved about the years I first got into LEGO (around 2007 onwards), was that every year we got some something new or revisited. You had evergreen stuff like Star Wars or City, but you'd see them flip-flop between their own original lines and ideas continuously. They went from Aqua Raiders, Castle, Exo-Force, Bionicle, Mars Mission, Racers, Agents, Pirates, Power Miners, Space Police, Atlantis, Kingdoms, World Racers, and their Collectible Figures... and that was all within 4 years! Not to mention the evergreen stuff or licensed themes, and many of those themes overlapped with each other. It was nice, and it let you get a little bit of everything. The only pirates sets I have are your beloved KRAKEN ATTACKIN', which I actually loved as a kid, and like 2 from Pirates of the Caribbean. Something about rafts I really liked, they felt adventurous and wholesome for whatever reason. If LEGO wants to try something with pirates or their other original lines with a twist, here's an idea... _Space Pirates!_ Whether it's a Blacktron remake or something steam/cyber-punk like Treasure Planet, I think it could be interesting. You could have the spaceships for the Imperial/Alien/Rogue factions, plus you could make tons of great alien creatures... Space Kraken, anyone?

I believe the captain of 2009 is referred to as Brickbeard. That's why his ship is called Brickbeard's Bounty. The 2015 figure however is really meant to be classic Redbeard. Not that this would actually matter. But I quite enjoy Lego's own in-universe lore and it's (in)consistencies.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

[@MrCat-zz5eo]

@@Autisticguywithacamera Hmm... that might be way too controversial and edgy for LEGO to let fly. And again, modern-day piracy in certain waters is no child's play. However, something ridiculously childish yet utterly bombastic might work. Like an Urban Pirates theme! Taking inspiration from that one scene in the second Spongebob movie where Burgerbeard turns his boat into a land cruiser capable of doubling as a food truck, maybe combining bikers in road hogs, dudes in RVs, and _absolutely massive 18-wheelers_ with a spray-painted Jolly Roger might be the ticket!

Would not mind finding more to them sets, would be cool to find and did get the 2009 Pirates set when it came out. Never did get many of the Pirates of the Caribbean sets, but did manage to get hold of a Jack Sparrow character. As for Metal Beard, did not get the first one but his ship is does look cool but when the poly bag of him came out for a smaller build of him I did get that one might try an build own version of the bigger body he has. I'll admit from being a kid up to now I've been into Pirates, one theme that's never going to get old.

I've always wanted a pirates set but it's probably the only one I've never had. That 6286 stuck in my mind until now. The canons! The small boat! The shark! At least now I got the small boat though and the best thing about it is that it floats!

Everyone seems to dislike the sails, but I love how every part of the ship can be modified, down to the design on the sails themselves. I don't think there have been any other pirate ships with a brick built hull and sails.

[@t-shirtdad1418]

Hey Nick Pirates is one of my favourite retired themes so I was looking forward to this video I owned 2 of the Jack Stone style Pirates sets - the ship and skull island - and as much as the builds are complete actual garbage, I did have a ton of fun with them as a kid. The technic competition canons are one of the better projectile weapons for play because they shoot reliably, decently far, and with large enough ammo that you don't lose it the first time you shoot (that's the biggest problem with the new stud shooters. 1x1 studs just get lost instantly) That giant skull is just one piece except for the teeth, and I actually still have it and have been trying to find a use for it on a MOC because it does look really cool but it's hard to integrate because of the shape. As for the ship, it was advertised as floating but in my personal experience about every 5-10 minutes enough water would seep in between sections of the hull that it would sink.

I used to love getting those junior pirate sets when I was younger because those were the only pirate sets out at the time. The ship was pretty nice, though.

Great episode! I LOVE the inclusion of the DKC music.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

With the whole piratey theme DKC2 and Tropical Freeze had, it was all too fitting.

[@thatguythatdoesstuff5899]

Yes I'm writing this quite late and I don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but the 2009 pirates didn't bring back the classic palm trees. The old ones had a segmented trunk that was posable, while the new one was a single static piece. Anyways, great series, glad to watch it.

[@chaoticspace2]

I remember getting that repurposed ship wreck set from the 2008 line and loving it.

[@J4R0D]

I swear, the biggest mystery of my childhood was what king Kahuka's minifig head looked like under his mask. I was just wondering what lay under that beautiful red piece. But that island legend set was too darn expensive for 6 year old me...

My favorite part of Lego pirates is the mocs so many awesome mocs

[@JohnnyBricks]

Lego Rewind is a great series!

[@iconicnzz6414]

Pirates is one of if not my favorite Lego theme, and you know what's funny, I really started to get interested in the theme in 2013, when there were no pirate sets on the market. But I did eventually get the silent Mary from Lego pirates of the caribbean. Since then I have also purchased a Lego pirate ship hull and constructed a pretty large ship. It's completely themed after captain brickbeard, with the black red and gold colors, I would post a picture but I don't think I can.

[@iconicnzz6414]

Oh, and the silent Mary I heavily modified and turned into a more Lego original skeleton pirate ship. If Lego ever does remake pirates, I think I they should bring in a mystical faction for the pirates to fight, like ghosts or skeletons.

[@natecmocs4436]

I really love these videos man! I hope you never erase your channel, I want my kids to see these one day xD

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

Don't worry, the only thing that could ever stop me is youtube itself.

Pirates is easily my favorite of the “Classic” LEGO themes. Whereas Castle has essentially been dried up of original concepts (Excluding Nexo Knights, if you consider it a Castle theme), City/Town has gradually become more and more repetitive, and Space has basically become discount Star Wars/Independence Day, Pirates has stayed consistently good and fresh throughout its entire run. And man, do I enjoy a lot of those builds. I hope to see it again someday in some shape or form. Also, I’d like to point out that the pirate captain in the 2009/2010 pirates set is actually a different character from Redbeard, Captain Brickbeard (Hence the name of the pirate’s ship from that year, Brickbeard’s Bounty). I don’t know if the pirate in the 2015 sets is Brickbeard or Redbeard, though.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

Trust me... I know. Many other people have already pointed this out in the comments. What really threw me off when scripting this is there's ANOTHER character called Brickbeard who looks completely different. So either there are two Brickbeards, two Redbeards, or one of each and a third guy who's a fusion of both. I think it's pretty clear he was designed to be Redbeard and they just changed the name at the last second.

[@jetforcejuno7166]

Another great episode Nick. I never had a Lego Pirates set (but I did have a Playmobil Pirate set though) but damn these look cool. Looking forward to the Ninja episode - if you're looking for appropriate music may I suggest Tenchu 1's OST

[@crontelly2112]

Neat nick, nearly not knowing the pirate continuity, still knowing more than me

[@NoahgotLEGO]

Really wish this theme and history themes in general would be revived. I have the Caribbean Clipper, the quality of the sails is so much better than the new, much thicker.

[@TheTsarsTailor1910]

Yayyyyy another video I’m gonna be so sad when there are no more new LEGO videos ;-;

[@curly_headed_rat]

Nothing short of perfect. Everything I'll miss if this whole thing goes away. Sorty to be a downer.

[@laurenhahn8569]

I think how Nexo Knights was a revival of sorts of the Castle line with a futuristic infusion, I think a Space Pirates theme could work. Genre fusions are always fun to see. the High Seas could be called High Space?

[@bladeobrian2144]

I had a few of the 4+ pirate sets, including the big ship, They were simplified, but I thought they were fun

[@wayoutanimation2853]

I actually got all of the 2015 sets when they came out. Very happy with that fact. The Ship from that line wasnt the best, but its still pretty amazing.

[@TyronBezzina]

kinda glad they rereleased the barracuda with an old redbeard and a new captian for the creator. it shows the shift of generations. also redbeard wasnt the only 1990s captian. iron hook and an unnamed one from the perilous pitfall were present and wish they had more sets( i assumed the 1997 an 1993 sets except the ones with redbeard himself belonged to these guys just to balance it out)
