I feel like they always wait until they have "internal cofirmation" for the news they put out. Yeah they have, nothing that happens often but also nothing that never happened. In the end it is hard to tell from the outside if they have any own sources, since normally the infos they post were leaked by well known leakers and have been avaiable on sites like reddit before.

kuzyabricks Posted June 24 Posted June 24 I once agree do not believe that Barbossa isn't included. That is ridiculous. The amount of pieces makes me very excited. Quote

Yes, exactly! But I have a feeling, they never jump the gun and when they report these leaks/news in an article, they have been confirmed by their own sources. But that is just a guess of mine. Quote

That makes me very upset((( I am disappointed to hear youre not going to pick up one of the pearls! You're one of the most active users in the pirates forums. Hope that doesn't mean trouble for the sales of the set as I quite want a dutchman Quote
kuzyabricks Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Okay clay just said he has not received word from a reliable source on the fig list yet. I still have hope Quote

You're one of the most active users in the pirates forums. Hope that doesn't mean trouble for the sales of the set as I quite want a dutchman Trouble for the sales you say? I seriously wonder how the Endurance is doing? So far I never spent more than 150€ on a set and even that happend only four times or so. I didn't even buy the fantastic Mos Eisley Cantina or beautiful Rivendell. The set I spend ~400€ on must be an absolute super-duper banger and I don't see this ever happening. From a 400€ set I expect 5000+ parts and not 2800 and at least 15, better 20+ minifigs. I don't want to dive too deep into the topic, but I watch a lot of reviews of pirate sets from other companies or Pantasy and Funwhole (now Lumibricks) sets in general and I don't think Lego is able to deliver the quality and quantity (parts, prints, lightning, etc.) I would expect from a 400€ set with the competition in mind. Spending 100€ and occasionally 150€ on plastic bricks... I already feel like an idiot , but 400€, I just can't bring myself to do it. And, even more important. First and foremost I am a moccer. I build a set once, but often I don't even build a set and part it out straight away (like the two botanical sets i recently bought just for the parts, one of them being the insane 10348 Japanese Maple Tree. The palm finger leafs alone cost 27€ new at PAB). So I may build a set once and then take it apart after few days and use the parts for mocs. But a black ship... I am afraid most the parts would be useless for me. I know there were some black ships in history, but for me a Lego ship has to be brown! But enough of talking about myself I am happy for everyone who will enjoy the Pearl, but for me it is an easy pass. I am waiting for POTC 6 and hope we get a wave of playsets. Fingers crossed!

I feel like they always wait until they have "internal cofirmation" for the news they put out. Seven minifigs indeed is lackluster and leaves a lot to be desired. Arkham gets 16 minifigs for 100$ less. Anyway, for me the Pearl is an easy pass at this price point. And speaking as a moccer, the Black Pearl has one big disadvantage.... it's black! And who needs all those black pieces? I would never build a all black ship anyway! I know the Black Pearl is an icon, but because of the color I would choose any other ship over it. Agreed. And I like the imperial ships more then the pirate ships in this franchise Quote

If there's one Lego set worth 400€ ,it's the Lion Knights castle. 4500 pieces,20 minifigs, 2 beautiful horse bardings, nice cloth flags and cape... Quote

DonQuixote Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Unpopular opinion : The Black Pearl is actually an ugly ship. It has a nice shape yes but that's all it has. But that's just my opinion. Quote

Legoman123 Posted June 27 Posted June 27 So just to clarify here then do we have a reliable source for them confirming it’s just seven minifigures or not? Quote

Pirate_King_1982 Posted June 28 Posted June 28 (edited) I love the PotC films and I think the Black Pearl is cool. But if I were to choose between the two I’d prefer to get a Wicked Wench release. Edited June 28 by Pirate_King_1982 Quote
SpacePolice89 Posted June 28 Posted June 28 I hope that the new Black Pearl will have the following things: 1. Shooting cannons 2. Cloth sails 3. Hull pieces I'm no fan of brick built hulls for larger vessels and prefer the hull pieces that have been previously used for pirate ships. I can't see any reason why they wouldn't include shooting cannons because they are so iconic and still being manufactured and cloth sails are also a very realistic option. My biggest fear is that the set will look like the Endurance which is hideous and looks like a black version of Jabba's Sail Barge. Quote

Hull pieces 1st is almost granted given they haven´t used non shooting cannons for years now, though of course they could still choose to use brick built ones (or just omit them completely) 2nd has even better chances I think - and the 3rd would at least explain the high price to piece ratio, so we will see.

icm Posted June 28 Posted June 28 (edited) It won't look like the Endurance, because the Endurance is a very different ship with a very different hull and rig. It will be black like the Endurance, because both ships have black hulls. Incidentally, it's Jabba's sail barge which is designed to have styling cues reminiscent of an old sailing galleon like the Black Pearl, not the other way around. Edited June 28 by icm Quote

I really hope that the shooting cannons will be included because the only set that features them currently is the Creator Pirate Ship and that set will soon retire. Quote

kuzyabricks Posted June 28 Posted June 28 TandN bricks posted a picture of potential hull size and it was the same size as the imperial flagship! It would be insane if that was the case. Longest ship in 15 YEARS!!! Quote
