September 28, 201410 yr Well that's good to hear,at least Lego hasn't messed up those sets that BAD.Any way thanks again
September 28, 201410 yr so the bowler hats are gone, thats good. i know this is off topic but just2good have you seen the finalized ultra agents and marvel sets yet?
September 28, 201410 yr Sorry to ask this again, but what colour was the pirate captain's coat? We've had a black one and a red one lately, I'm hoping for something different this time, to make all my pirate captains distinctive.
September 28, 201410 yr Also, what color was his bicorne? Not Dark Blue by any chance, even if it's printed? (We really need a Dark Blue bicorne for Enrique Tharshebloze...)
September 28, 201410 yr Sorry to ask this again, but what colour was the pirate captain's coat? We've had a black one and a red one lately, I'm hoping for something different this time, to make all my pirate captains distinctive. His torso looks exactly like the classic Red Beard one!
September 28, 201410 yr His torso looks exactly like the classic Red Beard one! So black coat with green underneath and a brown sash? I think that's different enough for what I've got to form a triumvirate of pirate captains. Some of the pictures of 2015 sets are appearing on Brickset, hopefully this means the pictures of the rest of the sets won't be far off.
September 29, 201410 yr When looking at the Brickbeard's Bounty and the (preliminary) Brick Bounty side by side, it's the 2009 ship that actually looks more detailed. It has a lot more subtle decorative elements which the new ship seems to be missing. The much higher piece count of the new one seems really strange under the circumstances. Guess either the image is VERY preliminary or this ship has the most detailed interior of the captain's cabin we've ever seen.

September 29, 201410 yr ^ That actually looks better than the official one. That's because it's a blatant ripoff from a set in the 2009 Pirates lineup, which was of far better quality.

September 29, 201410 yr Well, to me as far as each new wave of Pirate sets goes, it's the ship that I always consider the, well, flagship of the entrire wave and its most important element. If the ship is great, and the other sets are just mediocre, then the series as a whole is at least pretty good. If the ship sucks and the rest is even very good, then I wouldn't rate the series anything above average. That's how I see it and I will use this standpoint when the new series is released as well. So if I like the final version of the ship, which I hope will be better than the prelims, I will still be overall content with this new wave, no matter how the other sets turn out. If I like them too - that's even better.
September 29, 201410 yr Guys...the ship will be more detailed...;-).... This comment makes me think you know something
September 29, 201410 yr They did say they had seen the images too, but can't reveal their source. The palm trees are a play feature. I think you push down on some of them to reveal something?? I don't know, that's what I read somewhere. I didn't think they looked bad, but what do I know. It will be interesting to see the final images. I am excited for more blue coats. And hopefully the pirate torsos will look good.
September 29, 201410 yr The palm trees are a play feature. I think you push down on some of them to reveal something?? I don't know, that's what I read somewhere. In the Skull Island set, you push down on it to lift the skull I believe. I didn't think they looked bad, but what do I know. I don't think they look bad, per se, and they are a clever use of parts to some degree, but it only really worked in the Banana Balance set. They are quite obviously doing it solely to clear out old inventory, and say what you will about the one-piece palm trees, I think the majority of us would prefer that to this. It's not the worst time we've seen them clean out inventory, but when you already have a perfect piece for a palm tree joint, it's hard to understand why you would replace it. And then, take the one-piece replacement, and replace it with a tree that looks doesn't look like a real palm. It might make a nice mangrove tree, but not a palm.
September 30, 201410 yr @just2good: is there anything you personally were disappointed in from the older leaked photos that seems better in the newer ones you've seen? (Just grasping at straws to make us feel better...)
September 30, 201410 yr Im excited for this new line! I really love the reutrn of the bluecoats and the simplicity of the sets. Except for the fort, thats just to small, LEGO will not make much changes to that... I bet the final images will be better.
September 30, 201410 yr For one, the Shipwreck Defense looks like one of the best army builders we'had so far. I always found it frustrating that those small sets with cannons seldom had the proper small wheels for the cannon - and this one does, so the cannon is basically ready to be transported to a proper sized Pirate or Imperal ship as it is, while in the past you often had to provide it with the right set of wheels before doing that. I will probably get multiple copies of that one, as I really am in need for more cannons - with wheels!
September 30, 201410 yr I honestly can't wait to see the pictures (take your time just2good) but I can't wait even more for the sets! Having practically not bothered with the 2009 Pirate line at all, and giving away most of my 90s Pirates (and classic space) sets to my cousins, I'm hoping we get a 2nd wave with Red Coats or the Spanish Armada. One can dream, right?
September 30, 201410 yr For a second I thought those were the finalised sets Any way hope j2g will reveal them soon.
September 30, 201410 yr Anyone think we might get a new tricorn? None of the figs have it, the officers in the bluecoats seemed to only have hair at the moment.
