November 8, 200816 yr Hey Bonaparte! Answering your questions: 1- I gave them my credit card number over the phone... Of course you can always review your credit card statement by the end of the month to review your purchases. 2- With regards to shipping I got an address in the US through Aramex's shop and ship service, its pretty good you should check it out. So, the sets would be shipped to them in the US and in return they would ship it to me in Bahrain, it won't be too expensive really, it might come to a total of 15-30 US dollars, we'll see...

That's an interesting service. It's doesn't seem available for Belgium. But since I'm going to wait it doesn't matter. Good luck on those purchases! Which sets did you order?
November 8, 200816 yr Here's the Aramex website for the service: www.aramex.com/shopandship Don't know if they do or do not offer this service in Belgium though... With regards to what I got I ordered the following two sets: 6243 Blackbeard's Pirate Ship 6242 Imperial Fort
November 8, 200816 yr I just spoke to a LEGO store employee. Here in USA Pirates will be released in LEGO stores the first week of December!! Let's see... One month to drop hints to the wife, then she purchases them, then nearly a month 'til Christmas. It's going to be a long wait! Edited November 8, 200816 yr by Eilif
November 8, 200816 yr Hopefully they will be released widely at that time as well. At least they should be on S@H before Christmas.
November 8, 200816 yr I have a question that I'm sure at least one of the members of our community can answer-what are the prices in US dollars of each set? I really hope I can get this question answered as my wallet is burning to know!
November 8, 200816 yr i love the set in the middle.i live in fl so im going to te lego store in downtown disney tomarrow to pick it up . also if anyone finds out the price send it to me at gabeburgos@aol.com

Read back in this thread and you'll find a lot of info on the prices
November 9, 200816 yr Read back in this thread and you'll find a lot of info on the prices Where are these prizes you speak of?
November 9, 200816 yr Eurobricks Emperor Where are these prizes you speak of? What on earth are you talking about? I said prices!
November 9, 200816 yr What on earth are you talking about? I said prices! I heard prizes before you used your silly edit button Maybe these sets we're discussing are the prizes?
November 9, 200816 yr All this news is getting to my head... Well, they would be prizes that cost money. Edited November 9, 200816 yr by ~VBBN~
November 9, 200816 yr Well, they would be prizes that cost money. Not necessarily young grasshopper, perhaps discovering the prize is its own reward???
November 9, 200816 yr Just got back from the Downtown Disney Lego Store (Anaheim, CA). No new sets yet.
November 9, 200816 yr I'm not sure if anyone noticed this, but in older pictures of these, the brown vest was brown on all sides, unlike the old version, but on the front, around where the arm connects, it still had the yellow there, as if the arm was coming out. Glad to see they fixed that. Anyway, nice to see this. I won't be ordering them, but either way, the first week of December is only 3 weeks away.
November 9, 200816 yr I just bought Blackbeard's Bounty and the Soldier's Fort today at Legoland in Carlsbad, CA. They also had the Giant Castle Chess Set on sale for $159.99.
November 9, 200816 yr I broke down and bought the rest of the small sets--including the two impulse sets, which I know I didn't see there yesterday. I didn't see the new Pirate island set either; but it was in some of the pictures that were posted, so maybe they'll change the selection a little. No more Pirates for me for a while, but man, how cool is it that I was in the first place in the whole world to start selling new Pirate sets after more than a decade? :) TC
November 9, 200816 yr Hey Chris!Those sets offered on ebay UK are way too expensive mate! I suggest you wait or order them from the US like I did today, its way cheaper... Well i'm in the UK so I think it would work out cheaper to get them from here even though the seller is charging loads for shipping as well as the sets. I'm going to wait though. I think i'll prefer to get them in a physical shop. It's fun to go to the shelves and pile up a load of sets to take to the checkout In 8397 Pirate Survival, is he holding a handbag?!
November 9, 200816 yr What would the AUS prices be? I'm thinking we'll need to rake out between $120 - $150 for Brickbeard's Bounty, $75 - $95 for the Imperial Fortress, about the same for the pirate island, the kraken about $45 - $60, a little more for the island, $15 - $20 for Cannon Attack, and $5 for the impulses. I hope I'm above though...

I hope I'm above though... I hope your above too... I hope they come in '09 Im planning on geting the Motorized AT-AT for Christmas...I dont need no early Pirates theme messing that up I will definatly pick up the Imperial Fortress, Impulses [Especially the Imperial one] & Maybe the Pirate ship...I still got City, SW, Agents & Maybe some Castle I need to get! StarWarsPirates ON HB Stalker Pirate Captain thingy-ma-bob AWAY!
November 9, 200816 yr Great!!! I really didn't expect them that fast!!! I hope that they will soon be available in my country as well!
November 9, 200816 yr Why are these already released in the u.s. and not anywhere else? Cheap prices (compared to the rest of the world) and early releases?, come on! Why TLG?, Why? Does TLG hate the rest of the world or something? If I'm going to have to wait much longer and TLG just switches $ to € sign (or worse) I'm not sure if I'll get them. They're nice sets, but there's "something" which isn't right, and it's not worth paying too much for. Dunno what it is. I do like the backprint, and I really like the look of the minifigs, but I still have to see if they'll fit in nicely with the old pirate minifigs. I like some of the new parts though (telescope ).
