''[[LEGO Pirates]]'' was a theme introduced in 1989 with an impressive rollout. Both the Pirates and the Imperial Soldiers were introduced, fully fleshed-out with a variety of sets each. Like many other themes in LEGO, Pirates also featured bigger, more interesting sets for the bad guys. Arguably, the most notable and sought-after set from the entire run of this theme is #6285 Black Seas Barracuda, the largest and most expensive set that rolled out with the introduction and had a number of unique and interesting features. This set proved so popular that LEGO reintroduced the set (as #10040) for a short run in 2002.
This theme was also notable for its introduction of a wide range of specialized parts such as ship bow, stern and mid-section hull pieces, masts, functioning cannons and several different animals to include [[Everything's Better with Monkeys|monkeys]], parrots and [[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks|sharks]]. The theme also introduced a special character, the Pirate Captain Red Beard, who had a unique peg-leg, [[Hook Hand]] and [[Eyepatch of Power|eyepatch]].
