kabel Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 besides it beeing great and all, is there anyone else who thinks that it does look kinda chunky? i especially don't like the bow, the rest is allright though Quote
Rijkvv Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 The only thing is the number of cannons. Of course you can add the Cannon Battle, but still it would be great if it already had enough. And even if you add them, you don't have the right undercarriages. Quote
metalandi Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 As it has been said before, no ship before ever had more cannons than 4, so it is totally alright for me. Put 2 on each side or 4 on one and none at the other, i think it is enough,. Quote
NicksBricks Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Wow that's cool! I really like the new princess body, the new flags and the great amount of brown and badge, good for MOCs Quote
Diamondback Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I'm gonna be upgunning mine. Pirate ships could move cannons around easily enough, but with how big, how wide and how cramped the gun-decks on a ship of the line were, the cannons on either side were pretty much limited to a small degree of aiming and a fair amount of recoil for movement--there wouldn't be enough space to swap them across the ship while preparing for battle, or even while underway. You'd have to completely clear all personnel and supplies off the deck then move 'em one at a time--are you up for attempting an off-Broadway production once the captain calls "Battle Stations"? 'Cause I'm not, and I imagine most navies doctrines and procedures of the time weren't either... Quote
metalandi Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Well, since it's only a toy and the cannons don't have a weight of like a ton, i assume that actually isn't really a problem, right? Quote
radar92 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Wow this is great. I can't wait to get one, wish it was sooner. My girls will have a ball with it. Edited October 6, 2009 by radar92 Quote
Diamondback Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Well, since it's only a toy and the cannons don't have a weight of like a ton, i assume that actually isn't really a problem, right? Correct--but I'm always looking for ways to boost the realism on things, like how I redesigned the wings on the Indy 7198 set to better match real WWII German fighters. (And, so modified, mine is actually more accurate than the prop used to film the movie!) I tend to try to look at a build "through the minifig's eyes"... and then see where the glaring historical issues are, and fix them. ---------------- Now playing: Carlo Siliotto - The Skull via FoxyTunes Quote
Jarri Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) I like BROWN pillars. Not stupid black colours on ship's pillars, but brown. And flags are great, too. But there will be good, if the ship will be have one more flag on back of the ship. And I don't like thin black rope for climp. The best was old brown rope. fuj. 7,5/10 Edited October 7, 2009 by Jarri Quote

Any chance Lego gets South Park as a new Licensed theme??? Welcome Back Super I can't believe we have to wait 2 and a half months for this. C'mon, C'mon....

C'mon, C'mon.... (Cartment pacing in front of the toy store waiting for the Wii to be released) Yeah and Cartman only had to wait 3 weeks and went insane... maybe you can freeze yourself and have your friends unfreeze you in two and a half months. In comparison to the announcement of other Exclusives this indeed seems kind of early. But maybe they made the announcement earlier in response to the reactions to the end of Pirates. Quote

C'mon, C'mon.... (Cartment pacing in front of the toy store waiting for the Wii to be released) Such is life, no? I have been so busy working on my house and getting projects done and LEGO has fallen by the wayside :(. I am trying to find some time to get at least one or two entries in for the contest, but based on what I've seen submitted so far, I don't have a snowballs chance in hell. But I will give it a shot anywho. -Super Quote
gormadoc Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 FANTASTIC! after all this time of waiting we finaly have an imperial ship, its just great and its bigger than brickbeards bounty the biggest ship we've ever seen out of all of the pirate line...it's amazing . Quote
Zorro Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 This set looks more like an exclusive set and I'm sure it will sell like hot cakes amongst the adults and the rich kiddo's! Good way to end this first "new" Pirates line. Quote
Luke McAwesome Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I'm sure someone probably already said this, but it looks like Pirates is going out with a bang. This set is beautiful. So detailed. The entire line of sets with this type of box are always the best, even if they are expensive. Too bad I'm not a big enough fan of Pirates to get this. Quote
martinsuper Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Too bad I'm not a big enough fan of Pirates to get this. I think its a good enough set to MAKE YOU A FAN! Quote
Corvus Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I think its a good enough set to MAKE YOU A FAN! It definately made me one. Soon this shall be displayed...wherever I can get it to fit... Quote
Gamer Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I am very excited about this set,but I am wondering is it limited edition set? Gamer. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I am very excited about this set,but I am wondering is it limited edition set?Gamer. Well, it will be a LEGO exclusive which means I will only be available from LEGO Brand Stores and Shop At Home. But I would imagine that it will be around for a while, sort of like Green Grocer and Cafe Corner. Quote
