PxChris Posted June 14, 2023 Author Posted June 14, 2023 It looks absolutely awesome!! We should expect a full official announcement today or tomorrow at the latest. https://www.instagram.com/p/CteOwCoLu7o/
AstroFalcon Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 I expected them to stray further from the original design, but this is still a day one buy for me. Love the added imperial ship, this is gonna look great displayed with PoBB.
Yperio_Bricks Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Wow, i don't know what to say. After month of hype buildup it's a bit disappointing. Looks close to the original i guess but i miss a more modern touch. Not gonna get it. EDIT: OK, it has just been revealed officially! Edited June 14, 2023 by Yperio_Bricks
jodawill Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 This is EXACTLY how I was hoping it would he. I even imagined they would bring back the ship, and they did! It also looks like they brought back the rare torso from the Imperial Trading Post. There are two things I'm slightly disappointed with. There's no Redbeard and they didn't bring back the original monkey. The original monkey was FAR superior, not just for nostalgia, but because he was poseable. Are those the large palm leaves or the smaller ones? It's hard to tell. They do look like to me. That would be very exciting if that's the case.
Khargeust Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Excellent ! It's almost a 2 in 1 : with presence of the ship and the fact that it is modular, you can recreate an imperial trading post !
jodawill Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Also, is the cannon dark bley instead of the dark pearl gray color that piece has been exclusive in for so long?
Pirate_King_1982 Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Not bad, not great either. Will buy it and display it with pride on my shelf alongside PoBB. However, it's not going stop me from designing the 3x3 baseplate, UCS, balls to the wall Eldorado, bristling with cannons, complete with a labrynth of tunnels leading to dungeons and other underground rooms. I absolutely love the Governor Broadside minifig and will buy like 5 of them from Bricklink.
Retrocity Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Looks great. The one major change/addition that I was hoping for was the addition of a ship similar to the one from Imperial Trading Post. Really happy to see that. Would’ve liked a few civilians, but the new torso (I think it’s new?) on the female pirate looks awesome and can easily be used for merchants. Surprised they went with black over brown for the dock. Edited June 14, 2023 by Retrocity
Yperio_Bricks Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 All the torsos will show up at PAB online right?

At some point probably, however, if compared to 10305 the „real availability“ (meaning not being sold out constantly) will probqbly be around 8-9 months after release.
