Rich B Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Looks like we will be getting a new ship this year!! Pretty EPIC looking from what I can see (if anyone has better pics please post). This will be one of the best LOTR sets yet! http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-lord-of-the-rings-pirate-ship-ambush-79008-first-look/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+LegoEverlasting-LegoReviewsNews+(The+Brick+Fan+-+LEGO+Reviews+&+News) Quote
Ed Mack Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Now we're talking. An average, run of the mill theme is gonna explode into one of the best. I'm very excited about these new sets in 2013. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I am personally very eager to see the next line of LotR come out. An Orthanc and Corsair ship will be huge winners I think down the road, and will be very fun builds. The Black Gate will be nice too, but I think a guy needs 2 sets to do the real scene justice. It sounds like the palantir will be on a minifig head, which i think kind of sucks, I think it should have been on a technic ball end to be more of an orb, but oh well. I am not a super anal LotR enthusiast, so I don't care if every little element or minifigure is exact like some people are, I just want to make some little armies and wage war on my son's army:) Quote

Many LOTR sets need two to really complete a scene. Quote
LegoPodcaster Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 This is awesome! I've been waiting for a ship like this for a while. Quote
Grolim Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Really looking forward to this one! Also Orthanc and Black Gate. Quote
Blackjack Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Finally a 'sort of' picture for this set. Quote
Rich B Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 This is a 2013 set I will definitely be buying and building. I still don't think it's as nice as the 2 POTC ships and obviously not as sweet as the Imperial Flagship. It's still a cool ship though. Quote
Talon Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Nine minifigs and a ship?!? This will not be an investment winner because everyone will have multiple!!! lol Quote
Grolim Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Can't wait! Wave 2 of the LOTR sets looks impressive. Quote
redeemed763 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Love those sails, I heard this one was going for $140 though, seems a bit steep for what I am seeing in the photos as the ship isn't built up very much. The army of the dead look to be exclusive to this set so far so they could make it worth a lot, plus the Peter Jackson cameo figure may be worth a bit too. I imagined this set a while back when the first announced LOTR but we didn't know what the sets were going to be and I thought, "it has to have Peter Jackson!". CAn anypne tell how many hull pieces are used? Quote
redeemed763 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Thats good news for me! I will be able to get another ship for just a few more $$$ after the cost of what I thought two were going to be. Quote
Clambo Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Ghosts - check! Pirates - check! Ship - check! Lord of the Rings themed set - check! Looks like an investment winner! Quote
Studebricker Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 That's a cool looking ship. I'll be looking for these around clearance time... I always thought those ghost guys got off too easy though. They should have been dispatched to the Black Gate before fading into the breeze. Slackers... Quote
redeemed763 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I sure hope they release an Army of the Dead Battle Pack, 3 of them doesn't constitute an Army in my book, nor does 10 Uruk Hai for that matter. Quote
sadowsk1 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I like the look of the ship and I'll definitely pick it up. I'm a little surprised that it was chosen as a Lego set, but I'm not complaining. Between The Lord of the Rings sets and The Hobbit, Lego is applying the hurt to my Lego budget. Quote
Snowcrash Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 MSRP $99.99. This has investment winner written all over it, especially if you can wrangle them for under $80. Quote
Alcarin Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 MSRP $99.99. This has investment winner written all over it, especially if you can wrangle them for under $80. Unless everyone gets it like Fire brigade :P Quote
TheDarkness Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Already added to my futures pile. Ships tend to do very well Quote
