Yep, I'm not kidding.

Interesting! But why is this a Limited edition?:

Finally they made use a black classic prefab mid section... Now we only need the stern and bow...

Looks like a very nice set, although the catapult looks a bit out of place. Any idea of when it's going to be released or a price?

I can't say those pictures are too huge to handle though......

Magnifying-glass on! :-P

Ah, now I see:

But why on earth is he so exclusive? *wacko*

Because he isn't in any other set? It's just a marketing strategy, they just wanna sell more sets :-P

....Because he has the rare black pirate hat?

Nice pics, they show a smart trap at the pier, and....

Well, new balls for the catapult.... 8-|

And the ship looks good from the back too. *y*

Can you fix the link to show these pictures?

I like this set. The dock is classic-castle-ish

Finally! Pirates of the Caribbean LEGO!

...Oh, it's Castle.

At least the sail will be a good logo for the heavy metal band I'm going to make...

Man I sure want this set. Especially that castle dock. *wub* The ship looks great. The cabin looks awesome.

But why only 3 castle troops. It's bad enough they're fighting guys who already died.

The ship is better than I thought it would be. I was curious how they would handle the stern, and that works suprisingly well. A real stern would have been better though. I love how the dock is pinned; I wonder how well it works with the new castle. I also like how that trap works on the dock.

My interest in the set will depend on local price as it is more of the same. (Lego sure want to get rid of those metallic Zamor spheres! I bought a pack as they were on sale at S@H. Bricks would have been much better as ammo.)

He has every set of the new line and is now patiently waiting for the 2008 line of sets :-P

Wonder where he got it. Probably, this is an Asian guy. In my experience, the Asians are the ones who get these sort of items earlier than anyone else on the planet.

Anyway, nice set. Box has different languages (incl. German language) and I am therefore quite confident that it will be available in Europe too. Sure hope that the new Hoth Rebel Base and the Republic Cruiser will also be sold in this part of the world... |-/

Another one of those pitiful ballista catapults. Seriously, the ballista in Crossbow Attack didn't fire well at all. But they added another one to the front of the ship.

Anyway, it's still a great set. It'll be my first brick built boat, I never really bought sea vehicles (unless you count that Rock Raiders set...). Keep in mind I was a little kid when Pirate Lego was out.

Lots of skellies, yay! :-D And I love that sail. They actually put holes in it, instead of using transparent plastic. *y*

And notice how they included the new electricity pieces in the design of the sail? They also have a couple of those pieces at the back. :-D

And lets not forget the golden goblet! *wub*

And why do bags 1, 3 and 4 have fancy numbers and 2 doesn't? And where is the skellie (on the box art) going walking of the side of the ship? Can skellies even drown? Guess not. :-P

Okay, I'm justing adding stuff as I go through the pics. Man I envy this guy!

I hate to break it to you man, but Megabloks already has that license. But all n all, a good set!!!

He was referring to Barbossa's cursed crew. Basically, he was expressing his joy for Lego finally including into a set the concept of undead pirates.

Looks like he has almost all the sets! He still misses the Chess and the Dwarf Mining, however. ;-)

I added the link to the bigger pics on the first post.

They're not new,they're Zamor spheres from 2006. :-| :-)

Cool find Shakar, tks for sharing !! ;-)

This set really looks awsome !! Why is it that nearly all TRU exclusive sets are the best of the lines ? That AR sunken ship is the best of that line and that set is fantastic !!

And that exclusive MF is hysterical !! Its just a skellie with beard and hat X-D

In France, those sets do not have the "limited edition" printed on the box art ;-)

Is it me or that glass is pearl gold ?

I really can't wait to put my hands on it ;-)

*yoda*

Indeed it is, *yoda* . It also comes in the large castle set..

Speaking of which, it appears the dock can connect to the castle

Tks L2k ;-)

I also just noticed that the figs are put together wrongly loool: the pike head helmet is on the wrong fig :-P

*yoda*

Actually, those things just connect the set together. You can connect the 2 side parts to the wharf with those pins, the other side doesn't have pins.

Well, am I the only one who finds funny that the Pirate Captain has a living rat as pet? Think of an undead rat... *skull*

Indeed or what about a skellie monky or parrot......

Loooool yeay, that did not really hit me !!

Please TLC, offer us a new animal pet: a skellie monkey >:-) That would be so sweeeeeeeet !!

*yoda*

Undead monkey? That reminds me of Jack the monkey from POTC. He's still cursed, isn't he?

An undead parrot..... :'-) It's just too bad that the skellies can't handle them like the normal minifigs can.
