New LEGO Pirate Ship!

[Thagarr]

It's been a while since I posted any news, I have had some real life issues of my own to deal with lately and I haven't been keeping up with things like I should. If any of you are interested in joining the News Gatherers group and giving us a hand, PM me and I will see if I can get you added. I ran across this earlier today and thought I would share it. LEGO has come out with a new pirate ship set 10210 Imperial Flagship! She is bristling with cannon and all kinds of piratey goodness! This thing looks pretty damn cool! It will be available starting 1-1-10. Here is the full announcement from LEGO :

Nice find modernknight! It's obvious this guy has put a lot of work into that fantastic model! That's one of the most realistic LEGO ship constructions I have ever seen. I am really curious to see how she looks fully rigged!

Thats a cool ship, I see they are using that old flag whatever it was called from the early-mid 90's. I still have my old ship somewhere, I forgot it what it was called but it had blue sails and quite small compared the pirate ship that was in the same series. That was always a disapointment, why did the pirates get this huge ship but the other guys got a ship not even half the size with only one gun!
