  1. Multinational prices do nothing for me, the conversions are not all the same and who knows what will actually come out?
  2. I don't know the extent of how much everyone here likes POTC, but I am praying for a Black Pearl that is minifig scale and cost as much as the millennium falcon. 500$ and I would be proud. Always helps that I get a 30% off Legos, since I work in a store though haha! "Gentlemen, I wash my hands of this weirdness"
  3. You mean the Endeavor? Sorry never mind, both are 100plus guns.
  4. Oh yes I agree with you kinda. I just meant it is not supposed to be a ship of the line like endeavor. Looks like a simple frigate to me. cause you can call almost medieval looking caravels man o wars, but for golden age I think its way under armed for a man o war. I have a french frigate tattoo that you can technically call a man o war depending on the time period.
  5. Okay, for one the flagship is not supposed to be a man o' war nor a ship of the line, so.... irrelevant.
  6. You Sir, made me happy! I LOOOVE the movies. I am a pirate re-enactor so I am all about pirates of any kind. I've grown up with these movies and know my pirate stuff, so of course it makes me mad it is the wrong teach flag, and of course I hate that the hat he is wearing in the sets is completely wrong, or that everyone is having a hard time using the word baldric. I will own multiples of all of these sets and I plan on making a minifig scale version of the QAR when I can get my hands on the right shape of gold bricks. None the less, I do not know anyone more excited than I am. My Lego store where I work I'll be dressed up as a pirate for the kids club meeting in may that is relevant to POTC coming out.
  7. Jack has two different baldrics in the movies, a black one with a brass buckle in potc 1, and a brown one with a silverish buckle in the other two potc.
  8. Thank you! I've been saying that,5 pages ago, haha. However, I Have been wondering if these are still preliminary because blackbeard in the movie wears an original tricorn and it looks nothing like Davy Jones' hat. So I'm kinda mad about that.
  9. They are called Baldrics! Haha and I cannot wait to get them! Cheers mate!
  10. Cannot wait to use these baldrics!!!! Blackbeard's hat is defiantly Davy Jones' hat too!
  11. Someone pleaaaaase PM me the pictures, I didn't see them :( I'm dieing to see them!!!
  12. hey man do you have a facebook? Me and stefan met you at the lego store a while back right?

  13. Yes, I would really love figs of Marty and Pintel, I met them at dragon con and hung out with them a little that weekend in September. It just wouldn't do them justice if we don't get figs of them.
  14. I agree with you 100%, but I've been to Dragoncon and nerd conventions and dressed up as a Kashyyyk Trooper, but my love is for pirate re-enactments and pirate festivals. I've seen 11,000 people dressed up like pirates and only hundreds of people dressed up for Star Wars at one time. Pirates is a growing series, I can't wait for them to start 5 and 6. I just hope these sets aren't silly and a quick cash-in for them.
  15. I was wishing for an UCS Black Pearl. I want the biggest most expensive version they'll make.
  16. I completely agree with you! I work at Lego so I get a 30% discount. I will be buying everything and then multiples.
  17. I just thought rapiers were dead by the golden age, officers use sabres they are not the same as a rapier, different fighting techniques, but the history gap from musketeers to pirates is huge.
  18. Just my opinion, but why does rapier keep coming up? It is not a nautical sword and pirates sure as heck did not use them, they're too long and too fragile. Naval officers used sabre's, not cutlasses like pirates did. I will be upset if there are rapiers in the sets, unless it is used by a 16th century ghost conquistador.
  19. I'm thankful for the pics, but I wish he would have zoomed in on the pirates ones like he did for the kingdoms...
  20. Aint what I've read working at Lego. I do not think we'll have to wait till then. We got Ninjago already so I think we should get pirates in our stock room by at least March or April. My manager said we might even get them in January, Lego likes to fill our stock room with new stuff when we get low on everything....
  21. Yes, Yes, I said we should see some pictures around when the trailer comes out. My boss(manager at Lego store) already got our calendar of when we get the sets. It says May, but Lego usually gets them on shelves a month before movie. Going by that Lego usually gets them in our stock room Months before they go on shelves.
  22. Well, I must say it seems that a lot of people's perception of a pirate ship is a little exaggerated... Pirates, for the most part used sloops and brigs if they were lucky( I'm sure everyone on here knows that). I do not know anyone more excited to see the movie and get the sets more than I, but as amazing as the QAR is, in the movie pictures it is still not an accurate perception of the historical one. Neither is the Black Pearl as much as I want a Lego version of it, it is still not an accurate ship. It seems to be a hybrid of a galleon and a frigate.
  23. OH YEA AT DRAGON CON I TALKED TO LEE ARENBURG AND MARTY THE MIDGET ALL WEEKEND sorry bout caps, theyr sad the wrote them out of new movie, but i hop i get figs of them
  24. no idea when toy fair is but as soon as lego store managers get pics ill post, trust me no one wants these more than mr. pirate everything is my life
