Arrrgh! | Pirates

??? ... can you attach flames or something? ... (o__O)
it's one of the new pull-back ones. you put a round 1x1 on it, and in the back there is a pully-thing and you pull it and let it go. it is much more amusing and powerful than the other lego firing mechanisms.
it is definitely a pull back mechinism, and definitely a novelty... but it is not new. It's from the old pirate sets.
thanks for the info, guys! ... ; )
bad ass!!!!!

New Pirate. Old Pirate.

I was wandering around the shops at lunchtime during the week and noticed that some of the new (2009) Lego sets were on the shelves. This year is gonna be a big Lego year with some nice new fancy stuff. Most of you know what's on the way, (but for those who don't just go to their website and check it out). I guess one of the most anticpated series to return to the Lego product line are the Pirates! Well those new sets aren't on the shelves (yet) but one of the new cheapy "imagination" sets(6192) had a pirate theme. I bought it 'coz of the fig... I thought it would be nice to have him in frame with one of my older (personalised) pirate characters. Ummm the old guy (fashioning the Qui-Gon head) is Karl Reessian. The new guy (on the left with the hair from Agents) we'll call Vince. You may see them around over the next little while.

Okay... before you young ones ask all the questions.

What you see here is not set 6192. It's my slightly modified Troll Warship. The cannon and pirate flag is from the old Lego pirate sets (from years ago). The shield is from last year's Castle sets. The Qui-gon head is from the old Star Wars sets. The hair the new pirate, Vince, styles is from last years Lego Agents sets (I think Misson 6).

Seems like a lot of extra pieces to buy for a minifig...will the Impulse sets not be available in Ozzyland?

But to answer teikjoon, I haven't seen any Impulse sets down under here in Australia, either. All I've seen are the kiddy set that Joz mentioned.

Mmm...actually the kindy set Joz bought does have a pirate with the cross and bones pirate hat, as opposed to them bandanas that the Impulse sets have...

I haven't seen any Pirate sets down here either :(

Impulse sets arrived in Adelaide last Friday. Bought two of each.
Not sure when the 'rest' of the Pirate sets are due in the shops.

Well the wait is over. They have hit the Target stores this week.
Get ready for the sale in just over a week.

Big W has a sale on right now. And so does Kmart. I'll have to see which prices are better.
