It's an ulgy set IMHO, for train-fans at least. It has no appeal what so ever. If I wanted train parts, I'd just buy one of the city trains. And ofc, the new wheels are a cheap joke.

Can't believe no one has replied yet. This is an amazing model. I adore both color schemes :). Very well doen.

IMHO, the 2015 had some very good builds. They look better than many of the classic wave and 2009 wave. The ship was a downer, that's for sure, but overall, the structures were quite good. I have some of the classic sets, including BSB, but often 'we' AFOLs attribute greatness to sets from the past based on pure nostalgia and not the actual build. I hope LEGO will give us a new wave, and not just one big set. TBH, I find it more amusing collecting a few 'cheap' sets than spending all my money on one big set.

Very, very nice creation. I like the vegetation :)...

This is a weird set... Don't know why, I'm a huge JP and JW fan, but it just doesn't rock my boat. The T-rex looks off and the small hidden builds inside the backside of the gate seem - this sounds funny - out of place.

Since most LEGO-themes are based on multi-year-cycle, I hope we will see a new: - harbour theme with coast-guard - farm-theme - train station - deep-sea explore theme

Lego has released a lot of (sub-)themes, but few have the same following as Pirates, Trains and Star Wars to name a few do. So, it would only seem right to launch a (small) pirates theme to celebrate. But hey, I'm no marketeer.

Sorry to say so, but I've noticed over the last couple of weeks in different topics that you do not respect other people's opinion. All members on this board or LEGO fans, but not every fan has to appreciate everyting lego does. I dislike many sets they made when I look at lego as an AFOL, but understand the appeal for kids. Just let everyone be, let them express their opinion, even when it's not the same as yours. It is a discussion-board after all.

Finaly some good news. This is what city is all about, not some neo-space-theme.

Lovely, great design!

Sorry if my reply has nothing to do with pirates, but I always feel like LEGO puts a lot more effort into the friends line/themes. This new ocean/explorer/coast guard theme would be a wonderfull city set. Alle the pink, lime green and light blue is to girly (I know it's a theme aimed at girls :p ).

I missed this the first time you posted it on eurobricks, but I like this build a lot. I'm no modular fan, but in a way, this is a nicer build than the original lego set.

This is an amazing set. I hope LEGO takes it into production and maybe builds a new pirate theme around it...

If this were an official lego set, I'd buy it :). Well done, so many details.

Thanks for sharing the build with us. Just a tought, why not stick to two axle bogies? Now it just seems silly to have a 2 axle and a 3 axle. I know the prototype had 3 axles, but still... Give it a go and see what you like best.
