The link to Flickr

Found in the Imagination Center at Disney World.

And for those who have Flickr blocked at work, SHOOTING CANNONS in North America!


Part added by Bonaparte:

We thank Joe Meno and Mike Huffman for taking all these wonderful pictures!



And now the new modular fortress . Shall there be more sets connecting to this fortress in the future? Let's hope!




















And here's a shot of the figs that come with the fortress. It includes the new governor which is just amazing!




Let's take a closer look at the ship and the very interesting new hull parts:











And some more random pictures:

I HATE!!!! (being blocked at work from) FLICKR!!!!


AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGH!

[Stash2Sixx]

Judging by the placement of the price sticker on the boxes, that looks like a LEGO store.  But that can't be in the states?  I'm looking for some other clue from Joe's picture and I don't see one.

OK!  I checked some other pictures, and there are shooting cannons!  And...it says that these are at the LEGO Imagination Center at Walt Disney World.  I guess they want to release these along with the giant Pirate Build.  Awesome!

This is what I call NEWS! Wow... maybe we'll be seeing more new sets before the end of the year besides the CITY and PIRATES lines. Anyone thinks this has something to do with the current (world) economic crisis? How is this said crisis going to affect our buying habits of our dearly loved hobby?

[Pencoin]

Whoa, I wonder if this will happen to other lines!

[Skipper 24]

Wow sweet. I wish I was there to buy those awesome new pirate sets.

[metalandi]

MUST...HAVE...NOW

[UsernameMDM]

Do we know the set names and price (USD) yet?

[Morgan19]

Fantastic!

On that Flickr photo– have we seen any previous images of 6253 - Shipwreck Hideout? That seems new (well, newer than the other ones, anyway).

[Nyundi]

Any chance these might show up in other lego stores, or do you think this will be confined to build event?

[legomilk]

Hi all people who have already purchased sets the pirates if someone got me the book building numbers for me.
you can often find them behind the book start with 45 ..... Thanks fixed  

[Barbaros]

Great News!

Any one knows if these sets had gone for sale online on any website?

[legotrainfan]

I don't know if it's good or bad to see those pics. It's good to know that the new pirate theme is very close to being released all around the globe. But, at the same time, it's bad because those pics are making me terribly impatient!

[iamded]

Holy smokes. That was quick! I wasn't expecting these 'till January the earliest. I guess by then we'll have reviews of all the sets up, talk about ahead of schedule! Woo, great news!

[Legoking]

can you give the pricing of each set?

[Sir Dano]

He is currently reviewing the sets, starting here: http://www.flickr.co...in/photostream/

[Erdbeereis]

Holy canoli!

That's amazing that they are out already. It's great that shooting cannons are available in the U.S. this time around.

I'm totally speechless!

[metalandi]

He's reviewing them, oh no! i hoped he wasn't cause i know now i can't resist and look at the pics even though i didn't want to see details until i had them in my own hands

[hewkii9]

Let's hope he got the Shipwreck Hideout too - I really wanna see the girl pirate and details of that set.

[Captain Zuloo]

Wow! This is beyond FRICKIN AWESOME! WHOOOOOT! Although flickr being blocked is nothing. I can't even get onto Eurobricks! Luckily I'm at home.
This is fantastic news, and I can see this becoming one of these threads 30 pages long! I just hope they're in Canberra, Australia very soon!

[Adam]

Impressionante! This is sorprendente news, especially since I'll be visiting Florida this Christmas... and Disney, too! And hopefully, these sets will be popping up in other stores, too. I just wish that Christmas was a little sooner! I'll have all of these babies in my hands by January the first! And since I'll be picking them up in the U.S., I'll have the luxury of shooting cannons. Thanks, Sir Dano!

[Deinonychus]

HAW! I have a trip planned down there next weekend! Pirates ahoy!
