Jippon Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 It's from one of the games that are now up on the website called "Shake Spell". Fun, but nothing special.. You can make Jack dance and arrange his moves and the music yourself. Quote
deskp Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Here is A link to the reward you get from completeing the games on the lego site LINK Its a Pdf image showing (what i assume is) the port royale you can make out of whitecap bay and london escape mentioned earlier. I also got the "treasure" for the whitecap bay card. when you enter the code a flash/java/soemthing pop up shows up with the video inside it, so theres no quick and easy way to simply link to it, but i got a recording of it that i might upload. Anyways, the video is just the LDD building instructions filmed, i think thye could atleast have put up the LDD file so people could get a better look! Edited May 4, 2011 by deskp Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 That looks more like all the sets, minus the QAR. Quote
Jippon Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Build instruction video for Port Royal Thanks! I'll give 'em a try soon! Quote
Legomaster34 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the video! Is anyone planning on building and uploading it? I think I might try, as it looks pretty cool. The only problem is the video isn't that clear. Edited May 5, 2011 by Legomaster34 Quote

The only problem is the video isn't that clear. Yeah the video on the lego site wasnt all that good(might be that it tailored it to my internet speed) and its my capturing softwares fault that the traces of the moving bricks show up. It would be nice if someone could upload the video from the London escape and QAR sets, or give me a code so i could do it Quote
Canada_7 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Bull****. I had originally preordered 2 sets from Barnes & Nobile online and I just received an email telling me they cancelled my order. I'm pissed not only because of that, but I originally had a Groupon that was "$20 GC for the price of $10" that has now effectively expired while waiting for them to process the order. Freaking stupid. I was awaiting Queen Anne's Revenge and The Mill. Lame. Quote
seahawkeye Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 My Barnes & Noble order also cancelled ... I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! Quote

Never again ordering anything from these clowns. I knew something was up when the items were taken off their site. Now what happens to our groupons? Quote
Zeya Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Same exact thing happened to me, except I had 7 separate orders one each with a groupon! Arg!! Never again ordering anything from these clowns. I knew something was up when the items were taken off their site. Now what happens to our groupons? I sent them a message asking the same thing, basically: - Can I get gift card credit for the groupon I applied, since it is now outside of its time frame? - I spent a $100 gift card on this order - does that gift card get credited back? And this sucks. The only reason I got that gift card (with my credit card points system) and the groupon was specifically for this purchase. I don't like having my money tied up in gift cards and groupons for only one store. Quote
andrewqwy Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 My full set of LEGO POTC went down the drain when they canceled my order. First they say it was delayed and then with no warning they canceled it. Seriously, this is not the first time this has happened. Just how unreliable is Barnes and Nobles? Quote
Zeya Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Seriously, this is not the first time this has happened. Just how unreliable is Barnes and Nobles? What happened the other times. Did it involve Lego products? Quote
andrewqwy Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 What happened the other times. Did it involve Lego products? The last time they also did a cancel on me. They couldn't deliver the pharaoh's quest sets when they first came out. They also lost my T-6 Jedi shuttle in the mail but they refunded me after some complaints. Quote
Admrial Brick Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Yes, Yes... The Queen Ann's is special. But whitecap needs to be improved. With the buildings, of course. The other three sets are just fine. Quote
YodasMaster Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Why even offer the 10% off if they know they probably cant deliver? Its ridiculous. Then they just cancel without even giving us the option to wait. Edited May 6, 2011 by YodasMaster Quote
doriansdad Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Why even offer the 10% off if they know they probably cant deliver? Its ridiculous. Then they just cancel without even giving us the option to wait. This happened to me as well. I thought it might be an isolated incident but now it is clear they had no sets at all to ship. Unforgivable considering they had this for pre-order for so long and gave a discount to do so. I used a Groupon as part of my purchase that is now expired as well. I have emailed customer service and will post any updates here. If they don't offer a gift card or some compensation for my lost coupon I will never shop there again. Quote
Blackknight112 Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Does anyone think TLC will use the new monkey from the new collectible minifigs (see frontpage) for jack the monkey? Quote
______ Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Does anyone think TLC will use the new monkey from the new collectible minifigs (see frontpage) for jack the monkey? If they don't I certainly will, when I saw that monkey I knew it was a shoe in for Jack the monkey, it may come with the Black Pearl or just some future sets (If there is the Black Pearl's Cabin set) Quote
Zeya Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 About the Barnes & Noble cancellations... they responded back to me letting me know my gift card was refunded in full and what was the groupon is now basically a gift card with $20 on it (the full value of the Groupon, not $10 like it would otherwise be). Based on this and hearing about the same thing happening with Pharaoh's Quest, I won't be doing a B&N preorder ever again. It was barely worth it anyway because B&N charges tax here anyway. It's probably worth it for international customers when they do get them in stock (they probably will b/c they have SW and HP stuff) because you can get US prices and even with shipping it's apparently still savings for them.

Cammy Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) The new collectible MiniFig comes with a Chimpanzee which is an ape, not a monkey. :p Sorry, I don't want to upset anyone. Edited May 6, 2011 by Cammy Quote

Thanks for the info, I didnt know that. But I doubt TLC wil care about the difference between a ape and a monkey, they'll just rename it. Edited May 7, 2011 by Blackknight112 Quote
Mr_Malfoy Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Quick question: Is the waterfall piece in Aqua de Vida in the cardboard packaging or not? Also, where can you buy shooting cheapest? I might buy some extras of the QAR. Only three cannons out of 8 ports!?! Seriously, LEGO, you could've done better. Quote
Invader Zim Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Also, where can you buy shooting cheapest? I might buy some extras of the QAR. Only three cannons out of 8 ports!?! Seriously, LEGO, you could've done better. The shooting cannon might not be the issue so much as the base. The reddish brown base from the QAR exists only in that set so is very expensive. If you don't mind a slight color difference and want to save some money, the classic brown brown bases are MUCH cheaper on Bricklink. Given how dark the deck is it is hard to notice the difference in there so I think this works well. Also, I don't think pirates are too strict about perfect color matching. Quote

I agree, if I was you I would just bricklink the brown ones, you can pretend they are discoloured by all the use and days in the hot sun. Quote
