I'd say that's a very good collection to have amassed in only 6 months.  You must be a bit excited at the prospect of new pirates coming out next year in Germany (and in what seems like the distant future for the rest of us).  Thanks for sharing!

Well done so far.  We started with pirates when my son was 4 or 5 (how time flies).  We had the Pirate Lagoon (3285) and the Red Corsair ship (3174) to begin with but added lots of Bluecoats and Pirates Secret Island (3799) then Naval Stronghold, and the classic 3286 ship.

While you seem focussed on the pirates we spread our interest to other themes - oh what a slippery slope that turned out to be - and there has been no turning back.

Can I suggest getting a large sea-blue flat double sheet for setting everything out on for play?

Very nice collection, and nicely organised. That's a lot to collect in just six months.

So do you have a 3-way ongoing battle between Pirates, Spanish and Bluecoats (maybe French)? You could easily add some Redcoats as the English, and split the pirates into two factions, thus making it a 5-way battle with 3 nations and two independent pirate groups forming different alliances and so forth.

Lots of fun to be had from the Pirates theme, and it's still going strong.

Thanks all for the kind words and engouragement.  Many of you are absolutely right, the collection is large (but not huge). The hours of play it has resulted in and the joy in my boy are immeasurable.  He literally has not picked up another toy since July (even on Xmas day).  I have not limited my purchases to pirates and have purchased quite a few Romans as well, but Ds interests seem to bewith pirates right now, so I have kept most of the Romans locked away to help keep focus.  He is also my first and I don't know how many toys you can reasonably purchase a child without spoiling them so I am taking it slow.  I'm looking to expand things this year and am looking forward to the new pirates next. 

@Playmofirth

We have a large blue sheet for water and two yellow throws that we use as islands.

@Martin

The redcoats are on the way, right now the French and Spanish are allies. But once the Spanish gain some strength all bets are off.

You've got some great sets there,
The pirate theme is a great one for your son to start with.
It is such a pleasure watching children at play, especially when you can play along as well!  ;D

That's a very nice collection of pirates!  As Martin suggests, adding some British redcoats could make it even more interesting. :arrr: :captain:

Very nice collection!

I like your idea of not showering your little one with tons of toys....its true, when there's too many, its hard for the child to stay focused.....I learned the hard way and we are downsizing our toys (not PM though!  :P).
