The 2009 soldier's arsenal set is notable for being the only set in the wave that gives a soldier a backpack. That annoyed be back then.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

See the back packs are nice but honestly the soldiers shouldnt have them. Since they are not marching troops usaully troops on ships didn’t carry backpacks around.

[@sergeipohkerova7211]

My dad owned the Imperial Flagship and now it's mine. He bought two of them and MOCed it to use the center hull section from the second set to entend the first so that it had three cannon on broadside and two masts. He also put two more cannon on the bow with no carriage wheels.

[@pr_nightmare]

Brad you really outdid yourself with this one. Eleven minutes too😮. It’s so informative and the jokes are on point too👍🏾

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I trying to get better at doing longer videos now that I have the time for it😂 and thank you! Glad you learned something from it and you found it funny I never know if people will get my jokes😂😂

[@quentinjohnson-ronald1266]

I hope Lego brings back the red coats but they have the blue coats, red coats and pirates in one set Id think that would be cool

[@joaoonda]

This is my favorite faction from Pirates. I remember I had the Outpost and the Imperial flagship at the time and they were very important to me (the ship especially!). This faction helped me turn a lot into the Afol that I am today! I never had the Imperial Trading Post but I´m planning to get all the necessary parts and make one myself.

[@renegadeleader1]

I wouldn't be surprised if the change from bluecoats to redcoats and finally Aramda was done to try and boost sales in various countries by appealing to them specifically. The bluecoats with their fleur de lis flags are modeled on the French. The Redcoats with the flower removed from the flag are obviously British. Finally the Armada with the elaborate red and yellow crest with conquistador helmets are obviously Spanish.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

That might be the case honestly!

[@waroffice3791]

That was a fun video to watch, thanks for making it! I think the Red Coats also appeared in a comic in the June 1993 issue of the Disney Adventures magazine, where Jack (the Lego Maniac) meets them in part three of 'Peril in Pirate Cove'

[@elathevening]

I'm enamoured in that Wolfpack shield in the back (and so many Castle and Pirates sets that I recognise!). Damn man, you have a great taste

[@Alicat0314]

Thanks for the lore. I didn't even know these classics had such fun bits of trivia and story. I look forward more castle and space! These videos got me super into castle thanks dude!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Oh nice! What has been your favorite castle set since you got back into castle?

[@Alicat0314]

@@BrickingUpBrad Well a personal favorite i've always wanted since I was a kid has been the skeleton tower from the fantasy era. My cousin had it and I could never forget it. I hope to collect pretty much all of the fantasy era sets as it was my introduction to the theme and I just personally love anything to do with skeletons, black and red color schemes, and all the rest of it.

[@highlightboy23]

Nice video Sir. Keep it up and I am hoping that the next one will feature the Armada.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

That video is in the works and should be out in 2 Fridays!

[@highlightboy23]

@@BrickingUpBrad The Armada is my most favorite ever because I am a huge admirer of the Spanish Conquistadors and LEGO did little to them.

[@hanzocloud]

Battle packs should only include soldiers. Imagine buying 100 battle packs for army building and you also get 100 captain red beards.. lol

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Oh yeah 100 percent 😂 still cool though lol

[@benparker1822]

So, I managed to pick up a couple sets in the later run of Pirates in the US with the Red Coats, and later Iron Hook and the Islanders, and I found that the cannons didn't have the spring loaded firing feature that was advertised in earlier sets. As a kid, I found this disappointing. So, when they released new pirate sets with actual functioning spring cannons, I made an upgrade to my small Schooner, the only pirate ship I had.

[@MayoHosko]

There’s a lot more backstories to these lasses and wenches than I realised

[@sonsofhk]

Terrific work! Love these deep dives into the lore, keep it up good sir!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Appreciate it!

[@reid3524]

I have a vintage lego red coat without its head shoulder pads and hat

[@fritz404]

Can u talk about the Imperials/armada next? I've always loved their morion helmet

[@BrickingUpBrad]

My goal is to do all imperial factions for pirates before moving on. But I did record the audio for it! It will come out next Friday or the week after depending on if I can finish it before I go to brick fair va!

I'm an American, yet I have never had a problem with the Red Coats { whenever my cousins or elementary school classmates would play Pirates, I always wanted to play a Red Coat } , I have also been an Anglophile for as long as I can remember, I wonder if there is a connection there?

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I have no problem with the red coats I was just doing a joke.

behonest when i look this video, i never know about the lore and the stories. because there was not so many to sell in mine country back then.

Brad i have a question which pirate faction is your favourite the red coats, the blue coats, the pirates, armada, or islanders?

Are you going to do the Spanish looking imperials next?

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Yep that video is in the works!

[@DragonMasterSubo]

These videos are so good! But man, the imperial flagship has 'brittle brown' issues, including the masts. It's so sad to see. The entire thing is brown, and it's all susceptible. I really hope we get a re-release of it like Galaxy Explorer or El Dorado Fortress.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

That is very true. But still an awesome set though

[@gavinp5465]

First the blue coats now the red coats. Atleast we get good videos though😄

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Next will be Imperial Armada! Then im switching back to castle for a bit!

[@gavinp5465]

Will you be doing more space videos after castle?
