Pirates of the Carribean 5 Sets Discussion

Looks really awesome with the background. It has now convinced me to pick it up day one it comes out. Before to me it didn't look very ship like, but with the box art

I am actually quite surprised that they have counted the Silent Mary figurehead as a minifigure.  Whilst technically it is, I don't believe it's alive in the movie.  Although you never know.

Yeah, this was all posted yesterday. Thanks though! 

I did skim through but did not see the images posted. Looking back turns out they were linked a few times, my bad for re-posting.

I'm still expecting that we may get some polybag to convince us to get the set. We're still missing Barbossa from the main character list. Will seems unlikely due to his potentially limited story role.

Either way, will probably pick it up - the sharks have convinced me that its worth getting.

If we ever going to get polybag with some exclusiv/special fig I would bet on 1) original version of cpt. Armando Salazar in white and grey uniform 2) some version of Jack Sparrow.

For proper Will you will need special mould for hair/bandana and for Barbossa you need also mould for that wig.

I'm really excited for the sharks! I'm even happier that they included two of them. This might be my first pirate ship so I'm pretty hyped for this set. Can't wait for the review too!

[Ashnflash]

I keep going to S@H to look at the ship  The more and more I look at it, it seems very TECHNIC-y. So I this might be the closest thing to a technic purchase I'll ever make!

It's not your first pirate ship, because it`s a spanish flagship

Yeah, it looks like it'll be really fun to build, especially because you're actually building up the hull and interior instead of using the pre-molded ship hulls. Is this the first big ship to not use them?

I believe so yes.

That's pretty awesome. I think the designer did an amazing job with the ship. I think it'll be a pretty great building experience. The most similar set I have to it would be the Helicarrier I think, as that also had a kind of "ship" body and a technic frame. Also, I'd expect a Brick Show unboxing or review around the 15th.

Was a Spanish flagship...

[Ashnflash]

So it looks like the set will be coming with two sharks. 

I'm not sure where that picture is from though... Because that box doesn't include any other information on the side, but this hasn't been the first time either.

I wonder if we can get extra sharks separately through LEGO's Bricks and Pieces.

I think the first big ship to use the internal Technic spine construction was the Star Wars UCS Imperial Destroyer back in the early 2000s.  This would be the first ship to use the technique in the licensed pirate theme.

Um, what's going on with the different boxes? The original box image had one shark attacking the rowboat and one swimming behind the ship, but this box has both attacking the rowboat. That's really weird...

Where did you find that picture at 

[TAFOL]

Tracing the source of the picture, it lead me to this article on Hothbricks.

Assuming the box without the piece count is the European version, I'm surprised the sharks are pictured side by side, unlike the American version where one of the sharks is positioned behind the ship.

It definitely will be, I just need to decide if the set is for me or not.

[gedren_y]

The other box image was indistinct and shadowed.

[Ashnflash]

Yep it's from Hothbricks. But this isn't the first time we've seen a picture of a box without all the piece information. Like when the LBM Arctic Roller image was leaked early. 

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Have you seen this image?

[Blazej_Holen]

Where did you find it?

I am going to make a wild guess and say Hothbricks

[Blazej_Holen]

and u r right :) Found it too....

[8BrickMario]

I didn't realize the sharks were gunmetal grey...that's a bit odd, but maybe it's to make them look slick and wet from the water?

[benderisgreat]

Cool, 2 sharks in set which everyone doubted will even have ghost sharks, happy to be wrong for once!
