Wondering if I'm the only one not going to buy every set in the new Pirates line.

What I want to buy:
8396 Soldiers Arsenal x4
6239 Cannon Battle x2

What I want to trade for (don't want the whole set):
Captain Brickbeard
Maiden/Govenor's Daughter
Govenor
Pirate Female

I'm going to buy all the sets^^ I already kept enough money for it ^^

[Fluyt]

Not sure which I'll buy, I'm mainly interested in the minifigs (and some accesories, like the telescope and fish), so I definately don't want each set.
I think I'll buy a few of the soldier impulse set, 1 of the pirate impulse, 1 or 2 of the cannon battle, and there's a small chance I'll buy the soldier fort.
I hope I can get most (or all) of the minifigs off BL, at a reasonable price (allthought I'm afraid they'll end up very overpriced), so I don't have to buy sets I don't like/want.

Definitely picking up one each of all the sets, and will likely get multiples of the two impulse sets. If I luck out and see any of these sets on sale/clearance months down the line, I'll stock up on anything I can get.

Well, first i just WANT every sets, but with the money this looks different. The soldiers fort is already on the way to me, and probably if i can afford it i'll get the ship and/or the shipwreck hideout. But there also is some big castle set coming out in january, i guess i have to rob a bank

[Thee Pirate]

I would like to buy 2 of each... but that might take a couple months. I already did that with the IJ sets, except for 7628.. it just took awhile :-p

What I want to buy:
8396 Soldiers Arsenal x100
6239 Cannon Battle x10
6242 Soldier's Fort x1

[meschepers]

I plan to get:

3x Cannon Battle (already ordered)
2x Soldier's Arsenal (will be picking up next week)
1x Soldier's Fort (my brother is getting for me while in Chicago)
1x Pirate Building Set (I'll pick one up when they are released)

This will give me a sizable Imperial force with 6 regular soldiers (shako), one officer (tricorne), and the admiral/governor (bircorne). As well as four pirates and the pirate captain. If there are any new ships released later in the year that are less pricey I may have to get those as well.

I cannot stress how much I like the new Imperials, especially the new admiral/governor. I also really like the torso from the Pirate Building Set. I think it could easily be used as a battle worn lieutenant or a captured officer from another faction.

I'm looking forward to the things to come in 2009.

I plan on picking up one Brickbeard's Bounty and two of the Cannon Battle to fill in the cannon spots that are missing on the ship

Forgot about that one! I'll see how much the minifig is in the secondary market, but it might just be a good idea to buy the whole set.

The same with me...

I have several smaller pirate sets from the original series but no larger sets. In those days BSB was out of reach so I will definitely get BB and at least two cannon battel sets. Harbour is also nice but some sort of larger fortification (like eldorado fortress) would be even better...

[Kliq]

Yea, I plan on doing the same thing I've been doing with Castle. Buy one of each of the larger sets, and a couple of the smaller. Maybe I'll pick up more of the larger just in case Pirates go into hibernation again.

[Razzer]

I'd like to buy all of the sets but it could take me about six months to do that...
The big two (BrickBeards Bounty and Imperial Fort) are definates, along with the previously mentioned 2x Cannon Battle to complete the ship, but the other sets (Shipwreck esp.) I might not be able to get. The building set is cool, but it's just not in my budget to throw my money at that when I need to save for the Star Wars next year.

[samthelegoman1]

I just bought Shipwreck Hideout two days ago but probably won't buy more pirates. I waiting for new Modular houses.

[Cardinal Brick]

I'll get one of each and then make decissions of extras after having looked at the part market on bricklink.
