MartinP Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Does anyone know the retail on the pirate ship? At only 745 pieces will it be priced as such, or will it push $100 or more like pirate ships of the past. I had good success with brickbeards bounty a few years ago, so this set is probably the only one I will consider buying a few of if the right sale comes along. I think a member said that the price for the pirate ship would be $100 earlier in this topic. Quote
Ronda Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I think a member said that the price for the pirate ship would be $100 earlier in this topic. I remember $89 being mentioned Quote

This thread was merged with another so I did not see that post. I would imagine that amazon will have these on a decent sale at some point in their lifespan, so I will buy 3-4 of them then. 1 Quote
Ronda Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 here is the list $11.99 USD - Shipwreck Defense $19.99 USD - Soldiers' Outpost $19.99 USD - Treasure Island $39.99 USD - Soldiers' Fort $89.99 USD - The Brick Bounty Yep, I believe all retailers will have sweet sale prices at some point. 1 Quote

jpizzow Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I want to know when we are going to get a UCS pirate ship !? Quote
Locutus001 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I want to know when we are going to get a UCS pirate ship !? Only if one appears in the new Star Wars movies ;-) Quote
Ronda Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I want to know when we are going to get a UCS pirate ship !? Mm.. Something like Imperial Flagship in 2016? (not sure, but not likely) I don't think Pirates theme will last longer then 2016, 'cause the next POTC movie is scheduled for 2017, so we'll have another licensed series then I guess. Maybe including something large and cool looking. Hopefully not that fantasy-look again Quote

Black Pearl and Queen Ann's Revenge have been rather normal haven't they? (but for some of the minifigs) Same for some of the others sets. (btw POTC will still be fantasy so probably there will be some fantasy look included ;-)) Anyhow if there ever will be a cool ship again I will BUUUY!!! P.S. Do you think (not exclusively Ronda but everybody ;-) ) that there will be a rerelease of the Black Pearl when they bring out the new movies? Btw has it been that successful (the licenced theme) that it is profitable for them to rerelease a POTC theme? Quote
Ronda Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 What exactly do you mean by fantasy look? Black Pearl and Queen Ann's Revenge have been rather normal haven't they? (but for some of the minifigs) That's exactly what I mean)) Well, I realize I'm a "minority" here, but I prefer the classic Lego Pirates style, so I can easily use those sets telling my kid some classic stories, say Captain Blood or Treasure Island or some parts from Montezuma's Daughter or some historic events like Spanish Armada or even Trafalgar battle. Black Pearl, Queen Ann's Revenge, the recent ship from LOTR are great builds, but not something I'd like to put on my shelf. Several month ago I was even thinking of buying parts to build the ship from 2009 Pirates series. I missed that series being in my "dark ages". So I'm totally happy Lego remakes it in 2015. Remaking Imperial Flagship would be great too. Adding smaller ships like old 6271 Imperial Flagship or Renegade Runner would be nice. I realize it would affect reselling values and would upset many people. But come on, Lego means toys for kids first of all, not just investment I think it's good they reissue some old designs once in a while making them available for different generation for a regular, not a reselling price Again, that all is just my point of view as a Lego fan and a mom If I remember correctly, only the ships were doing well in Lego POTC theme, so I doubt they would re-release any old sets. As for the Black Pearl - would depend on what ship is "the main star" of the new movie... Quote
Locutus001 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I totally agree about your point that it's a toy for kids. But even if they return with old themes/sets that's not necessarily bad for investors since most sets will NOT have a returning or at least not within 10 years. So since nobody can say for sure that there will be a rerelease of any set within those 5-10 years resellers still can make some profit. But I'm pretty sure that you're not alone with your opinion that it's good from time to time that LEGO rereleases some sets so that a newer generation can buy them. Even some (probably even most *****) of the investors here would love to see a rerelease of the UCS Millennium Falcon. I prefer the overall design of the POTR theme though, since it's somewhat more "realistic" in it's colours etc. The original pirates theme is situated somewhere in a tropical region as far as I can remember, thus the white colours for the imperial buildings. I guess that those set-previews/pictures only show us what will appear at the beginning of 2015 but not all sets of the year (at least that's what I hope). So there's still some hope for the second half of 2015 and of course for 2016. As I said before Pirates have been one of my favorites (behind knights and space) and I'd love to see some really awesome sets! :-) 1 Quote
inversion Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I still have faith in a Pirates exclusive. LEGO should know that there is demand for it. Large ships always sell well. Or just do a dirty caribbean port town. That would also do fairly nice. 1 Quote

You mean like London Escape tavern or Whitecap Bay? They're nice, but kinda too close to Castle style, I think that's why they use white for Pirates. Just for some diversity. I wouldn't mind white if the structure itself would be bigger/more interesting. As for the ships ) (just my opinion) Black Pearl is ... boring? Black hull, black sails - not much better then red/white stripes. Queen Ann's revenge - get rid of all bones, unnecessary small sails and make them not red - that would be a great "realistic" ship!

Sauromosis Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Lego ready to launch pirates - http://brickset.com/article/13986 Small set review - http://www.brickhamster.net/?p=284 Quote
2x4 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Even though many find these a little disappointing, I am ridiculously excited about them. In fact, my family is already planning to head to LEGO store on the 1st of February in the hope that they will be on the shelves. Quote
Sauromosis Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Just had a thought (ouch)...why didn't they use the hard technic sails from Metalbeard's Sea Cow on these new ships? This line is a disappointment! P.S. nice article on the history here: http://brickset.com/article/14024 1 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 These sets look too close to the last Pirate line they released in 2008/2009/2010(?). Plus, for a few sets the old ones actually look better, which is kind of sad.. IMHO Quote
rcdb1984 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I want another imperial flagship remake. Hopefully there will be a 2nd wave like ninja turtles and we'll get some bomb ass set to overdo the sea cow with material sails Quote

2x4 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 At least we now have official prices on everything. I'm a little disappointed the ship isn't a little bit less... Quote
