BrickMaster Pirates and Castle Set available in 7-11 stores

[parchioso]

This is strange that BrickMaster Pirates and Castle Sets are now available in some 7-11 stores here in Hong Kong, as Amazon says that they will be released by end of next month.

Interesting. It's nice to know they finally found a way to include those two castle sets(5372 and 5373)that were rumored for the longest time.

I think this should be moved to the Lego General forum

(Shudder) Those sets come from inside a book! They also don't seem to be something TLG would produce, and spit-out from their magical workshops...

Truly unexpected, two sets of BrickMaster items (are they sets or books?) appear on shelfs of local (I am from Hong Kong) 7-11 stores, they are NOT widely available but seems to be appearing and disappearing in some 7-11 stores in some MTR Stations. These items look special, at HKD 99 each, it is around USD 12.70, a little less than the pricing in Amazon (and Amazon says "released on Aug 31st"?) and no need to pay for shipping!

Please see my blog entries for details and review:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are official sets? The reason I ask is that I didn't think they were, then I saw the official LEGO logo which isn't allowed to be used even on fan websites logos let alone a product.

Can we have those posts back please.

This is something we'd frontpage on Classic-Pirates.com and therefore we need a thread for the Pirate Forum.

Opps.

Do you want me to revert it back for you? By the way, I can't pm you.

Not to worry, I've just created a new thread.

To contact me Email administrator@classic-pirates.com but the situation should be resolved now.
