In a hypothetical internet poll, I reckon Lego Pirates would be voted at least the Eighth Best Series of Oddball Anti-Fables Featuring Aristocratic Plastic Swashbucklers on the Web. Catch up with the saga using this handy one-stop index page, if you like.
1. A Nautical Lego Photo Story
When Rupert and Geoffrey are imprisoned by the Governor, Cap'n Smythe and his glamorous assistants mount a rescue mission. Will their audacious plan be a success? Yes.
2. The Cannon
After a nine-month break, the Pirates return with a raft of swizzy new production values that literally make love to your eyes as you read (note: not literally). After his ship is damaged by a mysterious cannon ball, the Governor hunts down the pirates he suspects are responsible. Nobody learns a valuable lesson.
3. The Monkey
Nigella wants to send a greetings card to her incarcerated boyfriend Rupert, but Bernard the chimp has other ideas. About as much fun as it sounds.
4. The Disguise
The Governor sends his new Commander on an undercover mission to infiltrate Skull Island. The twist is that things go a bit wrong, unexpectedly.
5. The Ghost
Erm, there's this ghost, right, in the Governor's dungeon, and he's... not very happy. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
6. The Mast
Commander Barnes and Lieutenant Sanders damage the Governor's ship whilst larking about on the ocean. Meanwhile, Bos'n Julian undergoes inadvisable 'character development'.
