I don't recall many pirates sets, floating through the Random Set of the Day threads, so hurrah!
Now this is a set I would easily buy if it was available today, love these little structures! It's been a while since we had Pirates theme for the last time!
Those 90's pirates sets were fairly detailed for what they were.
Great little set for so few parts.
I don't have this set but looked up the instructions, found some things that made it even better imo.
What's not shown in this picture is the double brown doors on the backside to actually be able to close up the prison, and the black prison grate is on a technic pin hinge as well.
And the hinged secret 4x4 storage area in the middle front (left of treasure map, the plate hinge is shown partly opened)
@Zordboy:This is actually the 11th one I believe.
Hmmm 3rd RSOTD that is one of the more classical sets in a row, what are you planning huwbot....
These little Soldiers sets were so much fun. Little islands of minifigure shenanigans just waiting to be preyed upon or prey upon swarthy Pirates! God I loved this set too much.
And it was in that very moment when infamous Admiral Cannonball, the Imperial Baron of Ballistics, crossed his two functional eyes with his sole one, that Jack "Blue Jack" Brown knew he wouldn't leave the Outpost on the same conditions as he had entered...
I loved the Pirate theme. Am about to sell off the complete theme as I downsizing my 35 year LEGO collection.
Cool roof hinges!
Love love love this one. One of my favorites as a kid. I'm sure it is beginning to sound like a broken record, from me at least, but I sure wish many of these classic themes would make a comeback!
@AllanSmith, is that your offer? ;-) Someone from Poland is selling 30 new classic Pirates sets:

It's an easy buy even for the minifigures.
I got this set for Christmas in 1997. :)
Damn you Dark Ages! I missed many of the redcoat sets... :(
Why are there coins all over the boat?
Looks like Huwbot is on our side! He too wants a new Castle theme and a Pirates theme!
Got this for my birthday once upon a time.
'T was a good birthday.
@AllanSmith if I weren’t in the early stages of off planning to off load my stud too, I’d get in on that. Never enough space.
@Supertaco77: Huwbot is playing nice with us, to encourage the selection of a pleasant-looking avatar in that contest...he's scared of spending the rest of his days as a model made out of Clikits...
I built this set several times from my dad's collection. I remember I even expanded it once with another blue baseplate to make a larger island.
...Then made a stopmotion video on YouTube that I will not link to for the sake of my dignity. XD
I own this set, its not the greatest set that the pirates lineup has. But, even the worst pirate set is still better than 85% of any other sets.
Ah, the one that got away...
I find used Pirate sets and suddenly Huwbot is picking Pirate sets! I'm being watched...
