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.

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.

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.

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

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😂😂

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

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.

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.

That might be the case honestly!

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'

4:57 I pieced mine together. And it has 8 cannons. But as you know, the Black Seas Barracuda received an update, in Pirates of Barracuda Bay. Put together that ship was kinda dinky, so I MASSIVELY EXPANDED IT to a 14 gun Frigate.

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

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

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

3:27 i remember having that set.... I chewed up the map my mind was not at it place before i love Legos sorry and the red soldier was no good because the limbs won't stay it places but i give the pirate dude with the green hat a racer outfit 😎

Great video. Your subs are way up from when I started watching your channel. Keep up the good work!

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.

Bought 3 built 2 of the imperial flagship 1 and 2 got combined into a monster sized frigate lol 3rd is in box still such a great set!

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.
