“Ticket for Somewhere Island” by jAn_eVa

Parts:  2,376 | Minifigures: 5
Welcome to Somewhere Island, where adventure awaits! Our beloved governor has been captured by the notorious one-legged Seadog, and now he needs your help to secure his freedom.

Since blue coat soldiers were retired from the palette, forts are now becoming tourist attractions

jAn_eVa WRITES:

Though the tales of old may now seem like myths, the spirit of those legendary heroes still lives on in this enchanting destination, which has transformed into a captivating tourist attraction.

Explore the unique features of our island, where the lower level rises above sea level, revealing rocky landscapes, hidden caves, docks, and secret corridors. The building itself can open up, inviting you to marvel at its intricate interior.

“Monkey Business” by SylvainLS

Parts:  745 | Minifigures: 2

This little fellow is the lattest addition to the family, I hope you’ll like it 🐒

If Redbeard can have a maxifigure, so can Spinoza!

SylvainLS WRITES:

This is a scaled up (6 to 1) version of the iconic monkey part from the 1990s.

When I came out from my Dark Ages in late 2013, I saw people make scaled-up minifigures (“maxifigs”) of different sizes, and so I tried to make one too. In the following years, my design evolved with the apparition of new parts and my learning of them and of new techniques, and it became fully modular.

“Adventure on Tapu Island” by Marooned Marin

Parts: 1,880 | Minifigures: 2
Dimensions: Length: 34cm | Width:40 cm | Height: 17.8cm

​​​​​​​​Having read the scary Pirate story, about the local “allegedly cursed” island, a grandpa and his grandson indulge in a harmless pirate role-play on the very same island – now turned into a “Pirate” tourist attraction. All the fun and play came to an end when a violent storm broke out and forced two wannabe pirates to take shelter in a dark and perilous island’s cave. Little did they know that the curse was not merely a kid’s bedtime story, but a real thing!

Hey wasn’t this island entered into a contest once?

mAROONED MARIN WRITES:

Thanks to the modular approach, rearrange the sections in a different way and get two islands instead of one. Other ways of reconfiguration possible!

Discover the sacred altar, jail cell, and treasure, waterfall with the secret entrance to the hidden cave, two wannabe pirates and three cursed skeletons to inspire action-packed stories.

“Privateer Frigate Fortuna” by BrickPerfection

Parts: 4,000 | Minifigures: 8
Dimensions: Length: 81 cm / 31.9 in | Width: 29 cm / 11.5 in | Height: 62 cm / 24.4 in

Fortuna is back! – Completely rebuilt for Series 6! Better, stronger, more detailed, more sophisticated, more polished! There will be a boat included if selected as a finalist!

The Fortunta returns with a new crew!

BrickPerfection WRITES:

Fortuna is a fast sailing frigate designed as a Privateer – a government-commissioned vessel tasked with hunting pirate ships or, deceptively, becoming one. As a true frigate, Fortuna is equipped with 20 cannons and 2 swivel guns.

This set introduces the unpredictable Privateers to the LEGO Pirates theme, capable of aligning with any faction or pursuing their own adventures. Fortuna includes 12 Minifigures, a striking figurehead, and a small cat to protect supplies from rats.

“The Forgotten Shipwreck” by Ammiraglio

Parts: 950 | Minifigures: 8
Dimensions: Length: 35 cm / 13.8 in | Depth : 14.5 cm / 5.71 in | Height: 24 cm / 9.45 in

The Caribbean Sea is full of dangers, and Captain Garnet and his pirate crew have learned this the hard way! Their ship fell victim to a hurricane and now lies stranded among the rocks and sand of an uncharted island.Has everyone forgotten about the shipwreck of the poor pirates, or perhaps not… Is that a ship approaching on the horizon? But are they friendly pirates, or the Governor’s soldiers?

Well, it won’t be the Governor’s Soldiers who find the pirates from Series 6 onward

Ammiraglio WRITES:

The model features a small Caribbean island with a sandy area, rocks, and a mountain covered in vegetation. The remains of the ship lie in the waves, partially buried in the sand, while the ship’s mast is still useful for scanning the surroundings in hopes of rescue.

The set includes three minifigures and a skeleton, a shark, a monkey, a parrot, and two crabs. Additionally, many pirate-themed accessories are included.

“A Family Trip to the Saint Brickford Fortress” by IamWhatIam

Parts: 4,000 | Minifigures: 4

A family of four, the father, Mr. Wilson, the mother, Mrs. Julia, the daughter, Connie and the son, Billy, visit the fortress for their summer trip. Mr. Frederick, the guide and a known archaeologist leads the family through the fortress’ spooky champers and teaches them the fortress’ history.

If we went back in time to Series 5, blue coat Soldiers would have been stationed here

IamWhatIam WRITES:

The model features a small Caribbean island with a sandy area, rocks, and a mountain covered in vegetation. The remains of the ship lie in the waves, partially buried in the sand, while the ship’s mast is still useful for scanning the surroundings in hopes of rescue.

“The Pirate’s Dream” by Goannas89

Parts: 857 | Minifigures: 1

In the cabin of his pirate ship, the Captain Red is sleeping peacefully…

He is dreaming: at the sunset of a glorious day, his ship is emerging victorious from the latest battle with the infamous Bricktish Imperial ship which now is sinking…finally!

This dream symbolizes what happened to the soldier parts in Series 6

Goannas89 WRITES:

My creation is a tribute to the world of pirates that wants to highlight a hidden side of the daily life of the captain of a pirate ship.

One minifigure: the pirate is lying under the bed sheets. If you want you can easily remove it and make it sit on the chair, etc. to create different scenes.

“Kraken Attack” by TrumanBrick

Parts: 1,916| Minifigures: 4

From the deep ocean rises a giant, fearsome creature. Mighty tentacles emerge from the water, curls around the ship, and snaps it in half! In the foaming water, a monstrous, hungry maw awaits! It is the legendary kraken, and the sailors must give it their all to survive.

“Hello, beastie!”

TrumanBrick WRITES:

I have always been fascinated with sea monsters and kraken legends. From the stories I read as a kid, to their more recent appearances in movies and pop-culture. For a long time, I have wanted a LEGO set depicting a kraken attack, in the middle of sinking a ship, and the sailors (minifigures) facing the creature, some brave, some scared, doing everything they can to survive.

“Pirate Villa” by Elevendragons

Parts: 2,791 | Minifigures: 4

The villa was built on a flamingo farm

“The Buildstrong” by Brick101

Parts: 1,499 | Minifigures: 0

Angle the sails and fire the cannons. Or, remove the front and rear of the Buildstrong for a cross sectional view of the interior and decks.

Lots of cannons but NO minifigs!

Brick101 WRITES:

The inspiration for the Buildstrong was to emulate the craftsmanship of building a model wooden ship. The Buildstrong represents a period-correct ship model with three gundecks, a full interior, copper cladding, and rigging. Unlike conventional LEGO ship designs, the Buildstrong includes a detachable hull that extends below the waterline, all in micro-scale without sacrificing detail or playability.

“Pirate Fishermans Island” by Piratecaptain85

Parts: 1,499 | Minifigures: 4

There’s something fishy about this island…

Piratecaptain85 WRITES:

A Pirate Anglers paradise for retired pirates and anglers where they can spend all day fishing, catching fish, eating fish, and of course secretly looking for treasure

“Scalawag Sloop” by Sam2XD

Parts: 561 | Minifigures: 4

The scurvy scalawags are back with their small sloop to loot merchants, raid blue coats or resupply Jose’s Inn! Inspired by classic sets like the Renegade Runner (6268) and the Cross Bone Clipper (6250), this BDP model offers an exciting small build to flesh out the harbors of Tortuga, Barracuda Bay, or Eldorado

Black Seas Barracuda Junior

Sam2XD WRITES:

The Scalawag Sloop offers a pleasantly curved hull, brickbuilt sails/cannons, working rudder, and cozy hammock with fewer than 600 pieces. Mischievous pirates have also whispered about the potential of modifying the build to use the fore and aft sails of a famous pirate wreck.

“The Lost Island” by BRICKUP_

Parts: 3,171| Minifigures: 2

An island lost in the far ocean, a safe haven where you can live without worries and in contact with nature…

Here is the home of Bob Seven, this adventurer who landed many years ago on this little island, where he built, year after year, his secret refuge!

What’s wrong the navigational equipment – everyone seems to be getting lost these days!

BRICKUP_ WRITES:

In his house you can find everything: a comfortable kitchen, a dining room and a wood-burning oven. There is his bedroom, where he takes refuge to rest. In the mezzanine is his favorite place: the art studio, where he creates his songs and meditates watching the stars fall asleep on the ocean…

“Brickbeard’s End” by BritishLolipop

Parts: 749 | Minifigures: 1

The adventurer has dreamed about discovering Brickbeard’s long lost bounty since he was a young boy – but will he find the treasure he seeks? Or will he find that there’s more to Brickbeard’s disappearance than meets the eye?

Hey, wasn’t Brickbeard’s Bounty a ship?

“Runners Rendezvous – The Pirate Inn” by Jackettie

Parts: 2,150 | Minifigures: 7

The Tavern of choice for scallywags and swashbucklers who need a place to rest or hide!

Jack Sassy is yet to leave a review for this inn on Yelp

Jackettie WRITES:

The upstairs of this building features 3 rooms featuring beds and storage for those in need of a short stay whilst the heat cools down, along with an interior balcony and access to an exterior balcony. The main floor consists of ample seating for a pirate crew or two and a bar stocked with plenty of grog for those that have to raise a glass to (good or bad!).

“Abandoned Imperial Outpost” by Jacobhorn

Parts: 572 | Minifigures: 7

Ahoy mateys! Off the starboard bow, it’s a sign of home! An outpost built by the Imperial Guard. But it looks a bit worse for the wear….. let’s take a closer look and see what ruffians have made their home here.

Well, this one isn’t a tourist attraction

Jacobhorn WRITES:

This design shows two pirates taking over an abandoned outpost built by the Imperial Guard, years after the last soldiers set foot on the island. (Perhaps a former guard remains on the island or just another pirate who thought he found refuge but only found his final resting space!)

Special Thanks

Much gratitude to our LEGO Pirates Forum Regulator, Yperio Bricks for compiling this list of pirate-themed submissions in Series 6!

What be the BrickLink Designer Program?

It be The LEGO Group’s Crowdfunding initiative in which the finest AFOL designs are selected and produced as officially produced LEGO sets.

Well, after a quite rigorous selection process.

Time is limited time – so VOTE NOW!

Learn more about the complete cycle of BrickLink Designer Program Series 6 today.

What be the Point?

We vote and then what?

Aye, there was a great deal of uncertainty towards the Brick Designer Program when it launched back in 2021 – pirates were completely overlooked!

But as of October 2024, two BrickLink Designer builds have been approved by the BrickLink Designer Team.

Ominous Isle from Series 2 enters Production during late 2024, while Theives of Tortuga from Series 5 will be available for Crowdfunding during  June, 2025.

So circumstances have improved from three years ago.

The Debate

Now, help us resolve this disputation:

Within LEGO Pirates Forum and social media discussions, some say nay, these creations be a entirely different beast! They’re not official sets.

While others declare they are! After all,  they may be fan designs, but they’re produced in the official LEGO factory, and thus they are an official product.  Aren’t they?

What Do Yer Think?

Would you pre-order the Series 6 pirate-themed designs if they were made available for Crowd Funding?

Have Yer Voted?

18 October, 2024 be the voting deadline so vote for as many submissions as you please. So vote for all the pirate ones!

Most importantly, DON’T MISS this official opportunity to inform The LEGO Group your demand for LEGO Pirate sets is alive and well!

SCROLL BACK UP and votE NOW!

Then we’ll see you in the LEGO Pirates Forum to discuss which pirate submissions yer voted for… or the reasons for why yer didn’t vote.
