Alcarin Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 From Eurobricks a new picture of b-pack for Pirates... is this just getting rid of old stuff or new theme? Can someone more knowledgable than me tell if there are some new parts/colorings here? Source: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86127 1 Quote
Alcarin Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 Also can someone tell in which sets we can also find this bottle/map if they are not new? Quote
Huskers1236 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 The map tile has been in 4184 Black Pearl, 8077 Atlantis Exploration HQ, 8078 Portal of Atlantis, and 3817 Flying Dutchman I can't tell what type of printing is on the bottle. Quote
peculiar23 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 looks like it might be the bottle from 4191 captains ship & 10288 Haunted House. It's odd that this doesn't have a Lego set #. Quote

Alcarin Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 I really wonder if Chrome gold bar as shown on picture is included (probably yes) or are there only coins! Quote
boxofcorey Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 It looks like newer packaging, would be awesome to have the Pirates theme back. But what's the deal with that sword? Me thinks there are better ones in the LEGO repertoire. Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 I believe what we are looking at is a minifigure pack similar to this one: 850449 (also retails for $14.99 USD) and also similar to Halloween minifigure package. I don't think there are any new parts. It wouldn't really make sense for TLG, as these sets are just for having a little fun and don't need parts to sell themselves (that said, the Halloween set included an exclusive brown zombie). The minifigures are mostly new but just feature combinations of pre-existing elements such as the dark red bandana (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=x70&in=S) which appears in two other sets, the bright yellow-orange crab (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=33121&in=S) which appears in sixteen other sets, and the map (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3068bpb315&in=S) which appears in four other sets. The bottle is most likely the one from POTC and the HH with the ship-in-bottle pattern which would explain the markings (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=95228pb01&in=S). That bottle appears in two sets. No new parts as far as I can tell which isn't surprising. Quote
Alcarin Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 The main question is if this might be an indicator of a new pirate theme... Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Could be. It looks somewhat junorized (clean-shaved pirate grunts with matching outfits, lack of a multitude of weapons, etc.). It could be going in the same direction that the Castle theme went in, with LOTR sort of taking over the older historical fan crowd. Quote
Diabolos80 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Why would lego put chrome treasure in a $15 accessory pack, but put pearl treasure in a $100 castle?? Quote
Ronda Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Wow! Just when nobody expected. I remember there was a rumor that Lego may do something about Pirates theme in 2013, better late then never! Hope a couple of nice ships will appear. Quote
emes Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I have 2 of these that I picked up in Maryland last week. I haven't opened either. It does appear that there are coins included that go in the chest, and some other stuff as well. Quote
Alcarin Posted August 26, 2013 Author Posted August 26, 2013 Why would lego put chrome treasure in a $15 accessory pack, but put pearl treasure in a $100 castle?? Cos LEGO sometimes does weird moves lol Quote
abri123 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Do you think Lego would launch a new pirate theme at this moment in time? It wouldn't arrive until 2014, otherwise someone would have already heard details about it, and as Pirates of Caribbean movies are back from 2015, wouldn't they just do more from this theme and avoid a clash? (dependant on licence agreements). Quote

M4x18 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 If the Pirate's theme comes back it could be a little kick up for Lego's largest ship Quote
Diabolos80 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 If the Pirate's theme comes back it could be a little kick up for Lego's largest ship Yeah! It's already doing pretty darn good, but a kick in the pants never hurt nuthin' Quote
boxofcorey Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Randomly found it on sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321195762473&item=321195762473&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Here it is available from Lego Shop-at-Home, Classic Pirate Set. Quote
CelesAurivern Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Here it is available from Lego Shop-at-Home, Classic Pirate Set Strangely enough, it has already disappeared from the store. Not that it matters as it's just a mish-mash of junk parts. One would much appreciate a redcoat/bluecoat soldier pack. Quote
