Designer of Brickbeard’s End here, thanks for going over the set! I agree with a few points you made about it, however - it’s my first submission to the BDP and I’ve learned lots of things already, so be prepared in January for a brand new set with a completely different concept (no spoilers!) :) 🏴☠️
Well done on a first submission that’s really impressive and I like parts of it. Just feel a bit more clarity on story and playability. But seriously great for 1st go 👍 Look forward to seeing what you do next :)
The Fortuna is well overdue. It's an injustice and really put's Bricklink's legitimacy on the line knowing that this wonderful set has been sidelined for so many series. Even the GOAT designer Sleepless Knight has commented that this build deserves to be selected. For the pirate theme to kickoff BL need a strong pirate SHIP as the gateway, similar to a medieval theme needing a castle. The first thing people think of with pirates are ships. The ports and islands are secondary. We first need a ship.... PERIOD
I'm Admiraltybrick, the designer of Pirates of the Seven Seas, thank you so much for featurint my set! Yes I know there's the Endurance, but I think it's not really into "irate theme" so let's see...it is a gamblez but I also know that fans deserve a pirate ship after "thieves of tortuga"😊
Your set is my favorite of the Series 6 pirate sets! It's a beautiful design. I love the fact you included the stairs to the upper deck, a detail Lego sets usually neglect. The colors spectacular and the design overall is beautiful!
Is it just me, or did I NOT see a single official LEGO cannon in Series 6? I have to assume these pieces weren’t in the parts pallet for this round? As well as the blue coat soldier torso? If so, they really made it difficult to get a pirate set selected this round. Amazing how eliminating a few pieces from the parts pallet can really impact what types of sets can be submitted…
I kept hearing you saying that ships were coming, can you elaborate on that? I know that Endurance is the Black Friday 2024 set but had no idea ships were mentioned for next year
Pirates isn't my thing, however I do regret not getting the skull island one, and the thieves or Tortuga WILL BE MINE! It;s a distant third after castle and space. However I hate brick built sails and brick built ship bodies. The one in eldorado fortress worked, but I much prefer preconstructed Hulls. Aren't there Hulls in circulation (from Barracuda bay, bowser's ship, silly Friends barge) ? Or are these pieces not allowed in the program? Not even sure where the pieces that are allowed are? Any tips on how to see all? Regardless, while I don't like the ships, the bases / islands / forts I love
For the small scalawag ship, the designer said that they couldn't use cloth sails but he designed it so that people with the Barracuda bay set can add the sails from that set.
@@gbrow1604 I get the sails part, however what's with the hull pieces (those nice barracuda bay ones are still being used, in nougat atm ). Why are people not using those?
@@octav1600 On Lego's PAB, those hull pieces aren't in production, so they're probably just not available. I think the brick built ones in these builds look good though.
@@gbrow1604 they look off to me. I never liked that pirate ship 3in 1 eitehr (just as a parts pack). it's not what I want in a boat.thanks for clearing this for me, with the PAD thing.

I’ve been waiting for a set to come out forever. I’m so excited.

Great design well done 👏 and indeed we do want a pirate ship and if Lego is listening we deserve it!

@@imjango1052 as the designer, you really touched me! Thank you so much for appreciating!
The first one looks so good and lego definitely needs to make smaller (and more affordable) sets like that. Would be awesome.
Oh thank you so much for a review of Tapu Island, and the whole pirates series ❤
Love these breakdowns mate. Well done. How amazing is it that we even get to salivate over all these potential sets lol...
Go Fortuna💎👑🌟👌
I love all pirates sit they are cool I wish we need more lego pirates
I absolutely love the pirate villa solely because it looks like the closest thing we'll get to a one piece set
I really hope the privateer frigate fortuna makes it, I will then definitely buy 2 copies and build them myself, the scalawag is also nice.
what upcoming 2025 ship are you talking about at 16:00 ? besides the endurance
Thats what im wondering too
He may have been talking about the BDP series 4 "merchant boat". Although that's obviously not pirate related.
Probably the Lego Ideas River Steamboat
We NEED the Scallywag Sloop! There have been way too few small Pirate sets, and this one is just about perfect.

Pirates of the Seven Seas is amazing, I need that!
I'm the designer of this set, Thank you so much! We can only hope in Lego goodwill
Love the Kraken one. When will they release.
I kept hearing you saying that ships were coming, can you elaborate on that? I know that Endurance is the Black Friday 2024 set but had no idea ships were mentioned for next year
Probably the Lego Ideas River Steamboat

I'm a bit disappointed with the pirate entries this time around. What other ship are we expecting apart from endurance? Please do tell.
why are there no more sails in any of the ships? :( it makes all the ships so unattractive to me.
sad all sails are brick built :(
Heh heh heh…kracken design….snigger.
😂 😉
