Pirate fever!


Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest didn't wow me like the first movie (it's still a good movie), but it did do one thing; It rekindled my fascination to all things related to the Age of Sail!

As I posted a couple of days ago, I've been on the hunt for the new Pirates of the Spanish Main game pack tins, but without success. Today, while I was at Target shopping for diapers and baby food for Munchkin No. 2, I cruised through the toy section to check for any PSM stuff. I almost overlooked it, but I actually found two tins! I snatched those two up, and I snagged three game packs of Pirates of the Barbary Coast too.


It looks like Wizkids went with a blue theme on their tins this year (one of the reasons I almost didn't see them), unlike last year's creamy, parchment color. My addiction has run high, so I'll be hitting up on several Targets in the next couple of days. Muuussst have mmmorrre shhhipsss...

Here's the breakdown of the PSM packs I got yesterday:

075 - Le Triton (common french 3-masted schooner)
016 - Royal James (common pirate 2-masted schooner. This card was scratched :( )
