This incredible Brickfilm by pe668 has some of the smoothest animation I’ve seen in a very long time. Check out “Cyclic“.
Thanks to Caylin for the heads up!

LEGO Pirates tic tac toe
A new set has appeared on LEGO Shop at Home: LEGO Pirates Tic Tac Toe
! It’s not up for sale yet, but we suspect it soon will be. Hopefully the cost will not exceed that of the previous Castle tic tac toe at $14.99, and 10 figures would make for a great battle pack.

LEGO Foosball: Pirate vs. Castle!
Impending swim
Ben lights one up!
Ben Ellermann brought some fire to the Pirate layout at BrickWorld this year. This light-up volcano is one of my favorite recent LEGO creations. I may have to figure out a way to incorporate this technique myself. After all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
Monkey on your back?
Billy McGill just built a giant version of the LEGO monkey for his niece. I’ve always liked this monkey…now why didn’t I ever think of doing this?
LEGO pirates ply the crystal-clear waters of Portugal
Portuguese LEGO fan group 0937 hosted the 2nd TomarLEGO between June 11 and 14 in Tomar.
One of the centerpieces of the event was an enormous, custom-built tank full of water, plied by a fleet of LEGO Pirates.
See lots more photos from this event in Rupi’s Brickshelf gallery.
UPDATE: Biczzz has a full roundup of all the photo galleries from attendees, along with a few videos like this one below.
Spaniard’s Bay
This harbor scene by Ciamoslaw Ciamek (Piglet) has much charm in its distinct Spanish architecture, which the builder claims to represent buildings of a small trading post in the era of colonization.
Chapel Rock
This scene by Luke Watkins is packed with an incredible amount of detail. You really need to check out all the pictures. Very nice, indeed.
6299 LEGO Pirates Advent Calender photo and details [News]
It has been leaked before, but kin.leg◎ recently discovered a good, official picture of the new Pirates Advent Calender. It shivers me timbers, yarr!
Looks like we will be getting 8 figs, a monkey, and a sawfish. The grey sawfish hasn’t been in production since 1997, although a black one was briefly available in 2002. Here’s hoping it will be sold worldwide!
EDIT (AB): According to the page on Amazon.co.jp, the set will retail for 5,775 yen, so my guess is that it’ll be a $30 set. Like 10199 LEGO Creator Christmas, it’s scheduled to ship from Amazon Japan on October 25, 2009.

Here’s Andrew’s Heavy Fighter:
