bricketycricket Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I want some big pirate sets to make up for not having any as a child despite thinking they were awesome. Unfortunately pirates and castle are very run-of-the-mill these days, so the only one I could envision purchasing would be the ship and only if it was significantly discounted. I wish they'd bring back the big ships, the fortresses, enchanted islands, etc. but I guess kids just aren't as into these themes nowadays. Quote
Migration Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I wanted to like this line, especially the ship. It just doesn't do anything for me. 1 Quote

inversion Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I am not the one who tends to complain about price, but that ship is waaaay overpriced. Even the LotR ship was cheaper, with much more minifigs and license. In the end LEGO will say sales did not turn out as expected so they are ending the line.

Cross Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 What I don't get is that, with the clear popularity of EVERY well-done ship TLG has done, they don't make them more grand and in more variations. And more frequently, as well. The Black Pearl/Queen Anne's Revenge/Imperial Flagship was the right direction for Lego ships... this isn't. We'll see how it all plays out, I suppose. Quote
biniou Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) the LotR ship was cheaper No, the pirate ship ambush was about 10 Edited January 30, 2015 by biniou Quote

biniou Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 In Hungary it was cheaper in Forints Ha, right, it was 33990 Ft and this ship is 35990 Ft.............. Sorry for that. This set #70413 has one of the (or maybe just "the" ?) most expensive price in europe (= 115 Quote
banshee3 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I was disappointed to see the 119$CAD price point on the boat. I'll buy one for collection but for investment it'll have to go on sale. Quote
Veegs Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I was disappointed to see the 119$CAD price point on the boat. I'll buy one for collection but for investment it'll have to go on sale. Not just 20%, either. In its first year of release I wouldn't bite at less than 35%+ off. 1 Quote
lobo1969 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 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 Thanks, enjoyed the history link! Quote
brickelements Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I do hope the appeal to AFOL's with a larger Imperial Flagship type of vessel. I will keep building my own until they release the next verison. 5 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I do hope the appeal to AFOL's with a larger Imperial Flagship type of vessel. I will keep building my own until they release the next verison. Great job. I would add 2-3 more spacemen and a space-robot to man the ship and make it look unique, but my brain is wired weird like that :) Quote

Migration Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 In the final sentence of the Brick Bounty review the reviewer expressed the desire for the Imperials to get their own ship to oppose the Mighty Brick Bounty. Make it happen LEGO and make it of the the scale of the Imperial Flagship. 1 Quote

TheOrcKing Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I like the redesigned bandana and the variety in the pirates' torsos with print. Well anyone who missed the Revolutionary Soldier has another chance at acquiring that wig from The Brick Bounty. Quote
Pseudoty Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Why ? They managed to fight off the BB from that blue row boat just fine I would not mind seeing a LEGO Man of War I will have to hope for an early 50% off walmart clearance before I buy the BB to build until then your wish is my command 1 Quote
biniou Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 The Treasure Island confirms my first thought: it's a really nice small set to play, display and maybe invest. Quote
MartinP Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Why ? They managed to fight off the BB from that blue row boat just fine You don't need a big ship to fight odd the BB. All you need is a couple of rowboats and some well trained soldiers. Then the soldiers can claim the BB for themselves. Quote

banshee3 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 We took the kids up to LDC in Toronto today; Noticed that they had all of the new Pirates line in the shop on the way out. You have to understand it took every fibre of my being to not grab a copy of every set to take home; however I don't think my wife would have let me get into the car for the trip home if I had. Looks like I'm going to have to buy one at a time over time. Quote
