GoldenNinja3000 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I'm glad you all enjoyed the review, but I didn't find it, @Boettner Builds did. I'm really disappointed in the lack of a cabin but the detailing on the ship is just so nice that I'll probably get it anyway. Quote

I just want plan accordianly. Expand 17th, the VIP points end on the 16th. Lego timed it so you cant buy the set while double VIP is happening. If we are lucky they may accidentally put it online early or let double VIP roll over an extra day accidentally - otherwise it'll be released the day after VIP points end. Quote

GoldenNinja3000 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 BrickVault is currently doing a live build of the Silent Mary, so I'm sure the Brick Show unboxing and review will be up soon. I don't particularly like their reviews but it's likely they'll be the only people with a video review up by the 17th. Quote

Expand Will be interested to see how the market is also, though i picked up a few sharks already and there will be two in the set so wont need any more.

Though watching the live review to see about pieces. BrickVault has mentioned the intention to review, so yeah :3 Edited March 10, 2017 by Scarilian Quote

Expand Taiwanese seller had 30 or so listed as the Sharkanator from the Ultra Agents line. Still has some, but I'm waiting for someone Stateside to put them up. Quote
GoldenNinja3000 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Okay, I'm not officially confused. In the Brothers Brick review, they got the Silent Mary box with both sharks attacking the rowboat. But in BrickVault's livestream, they've got the version where one attacks the rowboat and one follows behind the ship. Why are there two different boxes? Quote

Expand The Brothers Brick review was probably of a set given to them by Lego for the sole purpose of reviewing, so had a different box art. Meanwhile BrickVault's is very likely an official set that will be for public release. Thats the only explanation i can think of anyway... Quote
TheLegoDr Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 This grows on some people, but I am even less interested now. It's too incomplete. I'm sure they did a great job with the source material, but for the price and design, I think I will save money. Which is important this year. Although, once again, I love the figures, but not a fan of the set. That seems to happen with most sets these days. Thanks for the pictures and mini-review. I'll definitely look at it more, but I don't see how my interest will change. Quote
Florian_Wayne Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Guys, the box from "Brother Brick" is just the european version. Look at the picture with the concept art of the Silent Mary, the text on the right is german. Very easy to see, even for americans ---> ÄÖÜäöüß Quote
dr_spock Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Sets provided by LEGO for reviews are shipped from Denmark. They would have the European version of the packaging. Quote

It'll probably come back after the set is in general availability. Quote
GoldenNinja3000 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 All of their live builds go down for a few hours and then pop back up. I have no clue why; it's just something I've noticed. Quote
Cammo Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Well you can't find it if you search for it. You have to save the webaddress. (I got it from their Instagram.) Quote
Legoman123 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 The box art is actually really cool! It's also nice to finally see a video. Quote
Blazej_Holen Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 My excitment from the set was brutally confronted with reality of what we actually get ... I will get that set because I kind alike it but as I said, I will heavilly mod it in order to make proper cabin and other interior and exterior detatails more in my way... Set seems to be all and all more display piece rather than playset... Still great minifigs and sharks... Maybe I wait for some resellers to get cheaper price.. Quote
Mesabi Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I still can't believe all we're getting is the silent Mary and the brick heads. I think the silent Mary is great on its own, but as the only real set in the wave, just kills me. I bought almost every set in the original potc run, simply because the sets and the figures were so good, and all we're getting this time is like 1 scene from the movie. Quote
