Pirate Lego

Looking back at my favorite toys from my childhood, two stand out as especially great: Star Wars action figures and pirate Lego.

Star Wars is, of course, alive and well and the toys are cooler than ever. Pirate Lego on the other hand has been dealt a tough blow. To the best of my knowledge the pirates aren't in production anymore. Why? I have no idea. With all the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean, one would think that a pirate based building set revival would be a no brainer.

Since the pirates sailed away I haven't been able to get excited about a Lego set. Hey Lego, bring back the pirates!
