your saying that if the sets come with the winter wave we'll get them by November? sounds a little early to me, would that be the official release?

Usually in countries like USA news sets tend to be released earlier so that my based assumption and as I can remember the same happened with the 2009 Pirates.

I found these on the work computer today, all prices are in NZ dollars and I think probably a couple of the smaller 'Soldier's Arsenal' type sets are missing, as well as any exclusive sets. Release date April next year, although our computers are not always reliable with release dates.

17.99 NZD - Shipwreck Defense

39.99 NZD - Soldiers' Outpost

39.99 NZD - Treasure Island

59.99 NZD - Soldiers' Fort

179.99 NZD - The Brick Bounty

Don't have time to convert to approximate EUR/USD/GBP prices right now. My initial speculation is that the Soldiers' Outpost and Fort will be connectible in some way.

I know that the US gets sets early sometime, but it is useful to remember that the retailers catalog apparently says April. I bought we will get them in December. March is a possibility though.

could somebody please translate?

'All previously been highly successful pirate sets marketed by LEGO. LEGO Pirates consists of islands, pirate ships, smooth, sharks, cannons, soldiers, and of course, pirates! In 2015, some new LEGO Pirates Sets! Together with a band of ferocious pirates, led by the dangerous Captain Block Beard, sail the seven seas hunting for adventure and booty! But beware! In the water dangerous creatures, and the warships of the King lurk sit on your heels!'

Roughly translated using google...

Could be Captain Brickbeard again and just a bad translation. But Lego is wise to the fact that minifigs move product, so my money is on a new captain. Probably all-new minifigs.

The part about "warships of the King" is interesting. I wonder if there will be a set for that. The leaked set lists didn't seem to indicate a "coat" ship...

thanks, warships of the king. maybe an exclusive?

Roughly but still interesting description,makes me excited about the upcoming sets pirate_laugh2.gif But cmon Blockbeard??It kinda sounds silly,I prefer Brickbeard instead.

Blockbeard does sound silly, it would be interesting to get a pirate captain without beard in his name.

Unless we see otherwise, I'm guessing that "warship" is more of a generic term, resulting from the translation. So, probably no Armada.

Captain Blockbeard. Well, it's nice to see that they're continuing on the naming tradition, if nothing else.

Although I think my captain's name would have worked better overall.

One may postulate since LEGO Pirates core demographic is 7-12 year old males, the LEGO Group intends upon recycling similar set ideas every 5 years, because after 5 years that "generation" of children is no longer in the core demographic so the same ideas can be re-used on the next "generation".

I very much hope I'm wrong about that!

For better or worse, I think you may be right, or close. At times, we as AFOLs, can lose site of the fact that TLG is a business first and foremost. What you describe is a pretty sound business strategy. Until they believe that the kids in that demo's taste has changed, then we may get pretty similar sets. Hopefully that doesn't stop them from producing worthwhile interesting sets!

As The_Cook noted in an earlier post, the LEGO Group is already doing that with Castle and City, although they did do something more original with the Forest Fire Fighters sub-theme which was actually proposed by a LEGO Ambassador.

So I'm hoping our Design your LEGO Pirates Sub-Theme Ambassador Project provides the LEGO Group with a similar inspiration/motivation for Pirates in the future.

"All shiver in fear, of the mighty Bleybeard!"

I can't believe I actually just laughed out loud at a Lego pun...

I was a bit confused by 'smooth', so I put it into Google Translate and looked for alternative interpretations of the word 'haaien'. Apparently that bit could be 'raft', which makes sense. Also 'Block Beard' could be 'Sketchpad Beard'... yeah I don't think that's likely either.

If they have an exclusive 'Kings Warship' I hope they release it at the same time as the rest of the sets, and not much later, like they did with the Imperial Flagship.

No one has said anything about the 'dangerous creatures' yet. I wonder if they just mean the usual sharks and crocodiles, or if this theme will have brick-built monsters.

I was wondering what they'd be also. We did get a Kraken in 2009, in addition to the crocodiles...If you can count a dark red octopus as a Kraken.

Yea unforunately pirate_look.gif

Btw I got an email from a Toy shop here in my country in response when I asked about the new Pirate sets and they said that there will be 5 sets so I guess that makes the list official.They also told me that the sets will be realesed on March at least in my country.

Hopefully no brick-built monsters!! Probably the usual "pirate animal" moulds, but if we are really lucky a new animal mould pirate_laugh2.gif
