The starter set is on backorder at the US shop lego website.

My biggest pet peeve is the way the app forces you to use as a manual, i used the lego life app before but it’s way easier there, I don't like the videos and the manual page flipping

I keep all boxes, heck even used open boxes sell for a good penny!Never throw them away, you never know...

Not a real fan of using the app to build the set, I mean Lego Life does it different but I had a hard time building the starter set from scratch to say the list, very weird and a bit cumbersome to say the least!

Your local lego store is open? The one in my city closed back up since early July because of the pandemic, life sucks hahaha. Legoland store is still open but they never answer their phone and you have to pay for parking lolol Assault on Barracuda Bay lolol

Currently in stock at Shop Lego, had my walmart order delivered, currently the Lego order is being processed!! Cheers! Hope you guys enjoy this set!

They better hahaha I already have been waiting 3 months to get my barracuda set, next thing you know they understand that pirates are on demand, Here’s hoping they expand more on the modular designs of the 2015 pirates line, I like how you can build up to larger sets and hoping that the admiral gets his revenge and the armada gets some fortress play sets in to say the least haha

It really isn’t it, when I backordered this piece the website was giving me est shipping by the end of July, now it’s all over the place, believe it or not I saw news of this being sold at walmart.com and make no mistake got a chance to buy one and next thing you know it’s shipped already with a shipment date of tomorrow. WTH Lego, they can’t be that swamped, talk about super fast shipping on Walmart’s end! I kept my preorder for lego open just to see what comes out of it but I see no movement on their end to be honest.

They can sell you different cartridges and different backgrounds worth in lego haha i can see some people using the nes shell for their raspberry pi setup though

LEGO shop US is taking orders that will ship out by the end of the month right now(backorder)!!! Get it before it sells out again!! Don’t make the same mistake i did hehe waited two months and finally snagged an order!!

I wish i could buy at least ONE Pirate Bay set to say the least, but no luck. Ever since they sold out in may, they have been that way since then and just when the stores opened in my city, they closed up them last week. Looks like they are prioritizing other sets than this one TBH. Bricklink pricing is 500 bucks already and so is ebay... I don’t even know how lego keeps releasing new sets ??

Meanwhile three weeks later and I get my pick a brick order! so far you can build all the pirates for wayyy less the asking price than auction sites(100 bucks for the whole set on ebay) close to 20 bucks for all on shop lego. Certain parts are sold out for barracuda bay but i have been stocking up on cannons as you can see i got 8 cannons, and of course a miscalculated port and starboard figures hahaha i made a second order!! i just love ordering pirate pieces... Can’t wait for the set to be available though!! https://imgur.com/a/5Uex3kD

Depending on where you live, you can head to a michaels or hobby lobby and buy those 12’ long wallpapers for backgrounds, I did it for my Xmas villages and boy do they make a difference!!! They have different ones of course like starry night, or sunny skies. At night time though with the lights off it sticks out!!! Trust me those backgrounds are a life SAVER!!!

The hull, the sails, the rudder and masts, everything, this is the ultimate creator set IMHO and it shows because I feel it had to sacrifice the hulls for the housing/lodge and stand alone set. I don’t know about you peeps but i have been stocking up on bricks and pieces pirate parts...

Wish i could buy this, since it’s still sold out in the lego.com and retail stores and with COVID who knows when I’ll be able to, oh well i can patiently wait and I’m not paying scalping prices either ???
