User Parchioso has found some pictures of a Pirates Brickmaster Book which is now available on Amazon Kong Kong.

It seems to be a book with instructions to build models of several sets.

[Siegfried]

I think it's just a little set that is designed to build those six models. I like the steamboat!

Are these official LEGO sets? Because if they are, why aren't they on LEGO.com, and if they aren't, how are they allowed to sell with the LEGO logo on them?

[Mister Phes]

As you can see Captain Zuloo this is not a set. It's a book with "16 Amazing LEGO models" written on the front cover.

However, LEGO.com does not display all LEGO related merchandise, so perhaps these are not sets but the book is licenced.

I'm sure Bonaparte will be able to help us out.

No, it's a box. Look at the cover again. It says "Includes Over 140 Bricks and 2 Minifigures!"

What about the new '09 Pirate sets, though? is it going to be a one-waver?

[Matn]

Aren't these just the Brickmaster exclusives that are now available on that online store? It's a box for sure, you can see the bricks packed in it.

Raphy, there is a more in depth conversation on that over here.

It seems to be another one of those books which give instructions to build alternate models from existing sets, but you be the judge.

To help clarifying on some details, I actually purchased these in 7-11 stores here in Hong Kong and not from Amazon, I mentioned Amazon in my blog because I found that they are pre-selling them and yet to be released on Aug 31, so it is strange that we can buy them here at convenient stores.

Please find the review of the set at my blog:

These items are from DK Publishing, and Amazon is pre-selling them at:

Yes, you're right Captain Zuloo, but you should know by now I like to be difficult. It seems to get people more involved in the discussion

I probably know that better than most people on this forum - "The set pages need a parent...blah blah blah..."

[Mister Phes]

Well they do and for very good reasons.

But it would be good if we could get more information about Brickmaster - exactly who is this organisation? Are they legitimate?

If this is a counterfeit product then we'll have to remove it.

After doing some more research, it seems this is produced by a division on The LEGO Company in the hope that people will subscribe to their BrickMaster program. Thoughts?

I've change mind - it's a book! It even says so

[Erdbeereis]

Yes, Brickmaster is a LEGO magazine for those in the US. I'm not all that excited for this, but then again I don't really know too much about it.
