2015 LEGO Pirates Rumors and Discussion

[clm]

Mast base is actually the same piece as the much maligned LEGO Juniors Captain Readbeards Pirate ship. Of which there has been complaints in reviews that the mast base is not very stable.

I'm so pumped for the return of the Pirates line. I've been craving a new Lego Pirate Ship for a good while now. It's finally here!

Welcome new comer!

Welcome new comer!

You also have them already

'Where, oh where have you gotten them?

I will be very dissapointed if it is true that nordic countries can´t get them in march in regular stores, only if ordered online from shop@home

Good thing is that march is double points month so that will make up a little for a higher product price.

Brickset says that the sets will be available from February 1st in some countries.So it seems some of you guys will get the booty earlier

It would be more appropriate to say that Brickset speculates that the sets will be available form February 1st in some countries.

Given what we know from history and the official March release date I would expect (again speculation) sets to be coming onto the market within February; where they've been released to retailers ahead of the deadline and retailers just stick them on the shelves instead of waiting.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see reviews within the next few weeks; where the Customer Engagement and Events team have send out copies to the main fan sites for review purposes ahead of the official launch.

Apologies for the double post. I wrote that last statement and it turns out that there are reviews out there in the wild.

It looks like the sets will be available in Japan on February 06, 2015: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00NVDLPT8

I WANT TO HAVE THEM!

Oh, sorry for shouting....

Welcome new comer!

The soldier has an old head. Therefore I think you just got the body. But the question is where do you get it from?

[Yeow]

I'm glad they went with the classic style of torso instead of what they used in 2009. Also looks like they updated the old Redbeard torso!

That shako is old?

Did I miss the point that we are getting a new shako?

Cook is the best (or is "The_Cook" )

[Pulp Detective]

Captain Redbeard looks awesome!!Thanks for the pics mate!!

Looking good...now I just have talk my wife out of her ban as she believes we don't need any more Pirates...

[Mencot]

That was good review, so looking forwards to these sets. The more images and reviews we see, these sets look better and better.

But the minifigures are the best.

[Mike S]

Cook is the best

I am most interested to know if the minifigs have back printing. Especially the two female figs in the line... So far the reviews have given me nothing but info I already have.

Actually, there are reviews for all of the sets : http://www.brickhamster.net/?tag=pirates

This is what I want to know as well. Not a big fan of the printed bags from the previous series, the backpack accessories are much better IMO.

These reviews are pretty poor :( The pictures (I find) are kinda small, a few of them blurry. And as Mike S. stated, we have learned nothing new :(

There are, at least, box backside pictures and one can see what are the spare parts for each set. The comparasion picture of sawfish from 70413 shows how better it is than the old one: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Medex/kocke-klub/Pirates2015/70413/dsc01822.jpg.

I mean the face

[Captain Braunsfeld]

I mean the face

Right, the face should be new.

I'd also go for a shako that is different from the current redcoat shako, but ok...

[SirValiant]

After seeing the reviews the must haves for me are the Shipwreck island, and Soldiers outpost. Maybe the soldiers fort.........well have to see the price is like.

Regardless, I really want to get my hands on some of the new bluecoats!

Funny thing is that back on September when the first pictures of the sets surfaced online(thanks to j2g)most people where disappointed by the looks of them and I'm one the few who defended the sets.But looking at them now I lost every interest I had for them,might buy the ship but that's it for me.Hopefully the rumored upcoming castle/fantasy theme wont suffer from the juniorization symptom this theme and the 2013 castle theme had.
