General Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Discussion Thread

I'm curious to see how the hats go on the minifigs head when they have hair, i wonder if it will all be one piece or two pieces.

I can't wait!

[Thee Pirate]

You Sir, made me happy! I LOOOVE the movies. I am a pirate re-enactor so I am all about pirates of any kind. I've grown up with these movies and know my pirate stuff, so of course it makes me mad it is the wrong teach flag, and of course I hate that the hat he is wearing in the sets is completely wrong, or that everyone is having a hard time using the word baldric. I will own multiples of all of these sets and I plan on making a minifig scale version of the QAR when I can get my hands on the right shape of gold bricks. None the less, I do not know anyone more excited than I am. My Lego store where I work I'll be dressed up as a pirate for the kids club meeting in may that is relevant to POTC coming out.

Yeah man, I could spend some time dwelling on the historical inaccuracies about the golden age of piracy or inaccuracies in ship building technics (or rather, continuity errors for the era) but I'd rather just focus on being entertained. I have a decent collection of piracy stuff to include books, movies and what not. When I return to the USA in a few years, I'd like to add some flintlock firearms to the mix, but that'll wait til after I get an Uzi and MAC10 :-p. I can't wait for these Lego sets.

I still can't figure out what kind of piece the globe is. I don't think it's a Zamor sphere because it's resting on a stud. It could be a Technic ball joint, but it almost looks too big for that...

I'm almost 100% sure it's Sandy's helmet with printing. I've seen a different picture in high resolution where the globe was seen in a slightly different angle. There I could see what looked like a small seam between the two halves.

Wow, these sets are awsome, but where is the black pearl?

Uhm, I'm pretty sure that's just reflected light.

Actually I'm quite sure it isn't Oky, look at the other tricorn on the driver of the carriage; no such white area, and none of the other figures are showing this either. Plus the two corners highlighted in white house the hole for the feather, so i think it's deliberate. Look at it closely and you'll see it's quite defined.

Did anyone else notice gold bars in the London set :) and im so glad that the building has improved from the preliminary structure

Cant wait to see black Pearl :)

[Captain Grog]

The long brown tile piece with the wood grain will be a nice alternative to use as decks on ship MOCs

[Sirens-of-Titan]

Whoah! Hold on a second! Just spotted something!

The London escape has new wooden shutter pieces for the arch windows! Now that set is a must-buy!

[Euvor]

Yay! It's almost like a dream come true! I really have to get all of these sets. In the Isla de Muerta, Jack's face looks a bit strange. Is it supposed to be a poorly done skeleton version of him, or is he just seasick?

[Mirandir]

Anybody fancy even higher resolution on those pics?

In the highest resolution I think I can see sticker ridges on the bottles in Captains Cabin.

[Follows Closely]

Look at all the new pieces in this set.

1. The scabbard on the lower left.
   
2. Whine bottles.
   
3. Bucket
   
4. Window Shutter.
   
5. Gold block in the trunk. (another shot)
   

This is a must buy x2.

In Whitecap Bay there are not only two buckets but also two bottles in trans black (they can be seen through the window in the black door).

That's just friggin' awesome. Thanks :)

I noticed that the oars are slightly different than the original mould

[narbilu]

I love each and every one of the sets... so many fine new bricks and figs. Surely gonna make all my soldiers of the Imperial Flagship flesh faced

Can't wait for any interior impressions of the QAR...

[Plissken]

These sets look fantastic. Thank you for the pictures. I'm totally in love. So many great torsos, faces, pieces etc

I'm very curious on how the hat is connected to the hair of Penelope Cruz' Character. The hair itself looks like a black version of the Elizabeth Swann/Kylie Minouge Hairpiece.

[Emperor Claudius Rome]

These look amazing. All the new parts, and pieces, thank you MTV!

[Dr. Steve]

I really like the fact that we have two torso's that can be used as a red coat and a blue coat officer! Also it looks like one the female minifigs (the one in the dress) only has flesh hands and head (hopefully no neck line in flesh). Then you can use her as either flesh or yellow....depending on your Lego Racial preference

I still can't figure out what kind of piece the globe is. I don't think it's a Zamor sphere because it's resting on a stud. It could be a Technic ball joint, but it almost looks too big for that...

Could it not just be a new print on a football from the Sports line-up?

Anyway, these sets look interesting, but bare at the same time. The larger sets need more figures, and the smaller ones are... okay I guess. I'll probably get the two smallest sets.

Thanks for the pictures!

[Haltiamieli]

Also it looks like one the female minifigs (the one in the dress) only has flesh hands and head (hopefully no neck line in flesh).

Sadly, there's some bare skin showing in her torso, as can be seen in this pic. Well, I suppose supporters of flesh minifigs deserve some dresses too.

I hope Sparrow in the Isla de Muerta has a double sided head. I don't want a Jack Sparrow running around with a skull face.
