It actually took them longer than I expected to take the pics down.  There were pictures of Lego's entire 2011 line in there.  I expect it's only a matter of time before we have new spy reports, though.

Works fine for me. You might want to check to see if things are good on your end of this problem.

I'm looking at the 'fairytale and historical figures' minifig set, and the wizard seems to have a giant bottle piece that I haven't seen before. Could this be the bottle from the 'ship in a bottle' Jack Sparrow has to steal from the captain's cabin? I can't get a very good look at it because the zoom function isn't working for me at S@H.

Looks to me like it's a 1x1 round plate attached to a 1x1 cone piece on top of a large 2x2x2 transparent dome piece. The measurements on the last piece are probably incorrect, I'll look it up later.

But I don't know, if it is a combo, could they use that same technique to make the ship in a bottle?

I am a little mixed on the new upcoming POTC sets but I am holding my breathe until we see the official images. Hope to give this theme a chance.

[Erdbeereis]

I feel the same way Fangy.
While I don't love the way the sets are looking from the prelims, I'm certainly going to wait until the final pictures are released to judge them. I am a bit scared that the prices will be way too high for the end product.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks a lot! This is so much clearer than the other picture I found!

Can anyone make out what the figures are armed with? Are they the classic prate sabers or are they the new rapier piece that the musketeer in S4 comes with?

Cannibal Escape
The Mill

The look like regular sabres.

[Bonaparte]

Seems like we are getting the wig which we requested (see slide 4).

eh, that's a shame, the movie uses regular rapiers, i hope they incorporate them for the final sets.

Oh yeah... I can see that now.

Bonaparte, how do you come to the conclusion that we're getting the wig piece? It isn't in anything we've seen, and we know almost nothing about the POTC IV sets.

Look very closely at the cannibal escape set picture.  

I think that these sets look awsome so far.  I wonder how the ships will look though 100 euros seems a little cheap to me for a big pirate ship like the Queen Anne's Revenge.  I hope that I am wrong but, I really wonder if it is going to be another Brick Beard's Bounty.

The guy escaping from the bone cage? I couldn't make out the hairpiece, but I didn't think it was a wig since no one in the bone cages in the movie wore a wig.

I haven't seen the movie, so you might be right. But judging from the pic it looks like a wig to me. A lot depends on that little thingy at the back of the 'wig' being a tail or not. If it's something else (light in the background or a part of the cage) then the wig theory might not be so solid.

[michaelozzie]

The figure escaping the cage most likely is Joshamee Gibbs so take a look at his hair. The hairpiece on the minifigure is grey with a small ponytail at the back just like his. So it is close to a periwig but not exactly the same.

Just my opinion, but why does rapier keep coming up? It is not a nautical sword and pirates sure as heck did not use them, they're too long and too fragile. Naval officers used sabre's, not cutlasses like pirates did. I will be upset if there are rapiers in the sets, unless it is used by a 16th century ghost conquistador.

The reason is, if you've seen the movies they don't use sabers, in fact they use rapiers for all the sword fights.

Nope, that's a cutlass, sorry to dissapoint you.

Oh, and I watched the movie again to be shure.

cheers!

Granted that is the technical name for it, but the ones they use in the movie are a much slimmer variant than the classic Lego pirates sword. I assumed that because they are making a whole new theme based on a Disney license like in the case of Prince of Persia, they would include new molds for some of the weapons, accessories and clothing items. Hence, having a slimmer sword, be it cutlass or rapier is entirely possible, and you'd have to agree with me that it is within the realm of possibilies as the prelims are, well, just that. To me those classic cutlasses look to bulky for the licenced sets, but only time will tell.

Cheers

[Derfel Cadarn]

Hmmm.. so far im not sure about these sets, they look a bit on the basic side to me, but then again I suppose most lines are like that. I will still probably buy them or a few of a certain set depending on the parts. It all comes down to parts for me, as I never use lego sets as they are as the've already been designed by someone else and I like to build my own. These arn't the finished articals however, so I wont judge yet, I just hope the bigger sets in this theme have some nice new parts that will really add something to pirate mocing!

And...I really hope lego bring back the original pirate stern piece in dark brown!!!! The new bow/stern piece just isn't as good. Enough moaning, im just happy we are still getting pirates in one shape or form!
