Interesting and exciting news. I hope we get the Flying Dutchman, it would be great to see how they do the textured walls.

Finally! Confirmation of the theme! I hope it is based on first movie, if it is we can expect a prison, a fort, lovely redcoats and of course the Black Pearl! :jollyroger:

Hopefully we can make different types of redcoats now, like musketeer's or horsemen with the new bodies.

I'm really excited for this theme, and that torso looks great!

P.s-Do you pirates fans seriously think an everyday customizer made that, the details are tiny and intricate!

Hello, i work at the lego store in birmingham alabama, it is confirmed and im sick of people doubting it.

I'm sick of it too, this place is very negitive. If you use your common sense they then yell at you for neing rude.

It's like "HELLO?!?! ANYONE AWAKE IN THERE?!" The picture of the minifigure was from the LEGO company stand at some fair. How much more do people need?!

I'd imagine this theme with be similar to Toy Story.... The first sets based on the franchise as a whole and then follow up sets from the new film.

Thoughts?

I'm kind of skeptical of the POTC theme. I am not looking forward to flesh-figs. :pir-hmpf_bad:

Hopefully the sets will be a better quality than the recent pirate theme sets. I never got either of the ships.

I am really glad to see that TLG is going to continue to create pirate elements. :thumbup:

I still need to get a lot of piratey crew and weapons.

I'm very curious about how these will end up looking. One way or the other, it is very exciting news that we'll at least be getting some new pirate parts. :pir-classic:

Excellent news, just what I have been waiting for. With a wave of 8 sets,which will be based on the first three films as well as On Stranger Tides I am sure we will see some brilliant new and realistic mold which will add to our Classic Pirates collection.

I for one am hoping to see some wig pieces and some more weapons. The minifigure prints, I am sure, will also be as brilliant as previous licensed themes this year.

Can't wait now :pir-cry_happy:

Great! Now we can finally start some real discussion (instead of just trying to convince the non-believers that this theme is real). :pir-classic:

I'm guessing that half of the sets will be classic PotC and the other half will be PotC 4. Hopefully most of them will be somewhat affordable. Can't wait to see the Davy Jones fig!

The videogame should be fun too, seeing how much the Lego games have improved!
