    Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant model!

    Yes, looks like it. Perhaps there are other LOTR sets coming? The Balrog wings were after all used for the Nazgul a few months earlier, so who knows. Does Lego make special prints for GWPs? The knight in Majistos workshop had a unique dragon print, but that's the last time something like that happened I think.

    Seem to be reused from Barad Dur.

    Minas Tirith looks splendid; the idea to mix different scales works here really well. For 650€ there are just simply not enough figures, shame... Rivendell is still best of the line, but this is a close second.

    Well this is some odd wolf; I thought Grond will be more in scale with the Minas Tirith walls perhaps even with an additional siege tower or something but this seems to be too big (?) for that. Hard to believe it's 300 pieces. Seems the GWPs are far less interesting than 3-4 years ago. It's on Brickset!

    The BTTF DeLorean looks fantastic, even without working gull-wing doors this is probably the best small scale car up to date. Really hope we'll get a 1977 Pontiac (Smokey & the Bandit) some day.

    You know what, at this point I wouldn't mind if Jyn & Cassian had survived Scarif after all and would return in another movie. Somehow I don't like all the storylines/movies/series set after the battle of Endor... the new trailer doesn't come even close to the atmosphere of Rogue One or Andor.

    I think there is only one way that it can work: it must be somehow in scale with Lego's Barad-dur. If it's too big than they'll look ridiculous on display next to each other.

    Disappointing that the sets are clearly 18+ again; why not even a single set that is aimed at kids? Star Wars proofs there is enough room for everybody. At least the theme is still alive and the bust sounds promising; the ppp is significantly higher than the recent book nook, so I assume minifig Sauron must be included. Hopefully it won't be a retail exclusive...

    A 50$ GWP is today unrealistic, you're right, but we had much better deals in the past. The forest hideout for example; 150$ threshold if I remember correctly (certainly 15$ worth) or the trade federation troop carrier from last year, 160$ threshold...
  11. brimbolet
    Honestly don't know what they are smoking in Billund. The GWP itself is a joke, terrible, terrible design! Usually the value is between 5-10% of the threshold, so I was expecting really something more substantial.
  12. brimbolet
    Agreed, come to think of it there wasn't at least for me a good GWP in a very long time. Don't like those without figs at all. Fair point, but it could be some regular figures instead, like generic stormtroopers in the rumored TIE fighter GWP. In our case just some drunken pirates, a pig and a scene from Tortuga for instance, anything one could bricklink for a small amount.

    Hope that some of the torsos will find their way to PAB one day. The old Black Pearl had 6 figs for 100$, if the new version would have 20+ figs accordingly the comments would've been totally different I believe. No figures in a GWP at that price point is additionally heartbreaking. A huge failure on Lego's part. LOTR fans were treated much much better in comparison.

    Ah yes, you're right. I've always had the impression it was some shade of very dark blue, but no. Shame Lego didn't make the characteristic dots on his vest and arms though.

    Great we finally see more (and better) pictures, but why we have to wait so long for an official reveal is beyond me. The sale starts if I'm not mistaken on 12 Sept! Box: Strange there is no Disney logo on it, but maybe that explains the ships name or the lack of it; so who is the owner of the license? At least we see the figures on the back of the box now, but I can't remember a single Lego set which has minifigs (blockbuster movie characters!) not shown on the front of a set! Incomprehensible, who is the target audience, somebody who has never seen a Lego pirate ship before? Minifigs: Not enough for the asked price, even if we would keep the selection only to those from the first movie we should get at last 16, so basically the whole important cast minus some random pirate figure as crew. Elizabeth's dress should have printed arms, Annamaria should have a special mold with a yellow scarf/bandana + hair, Barbossa's hat looks unfortunately totally wrong and his clothes should be very dark blue. Such a great character and he is the weakest figure of all! The others are fine. Ship: Unnecessary display options, which not only inflates the piece count but also makes the proportions look wrong; or it's the wrong sails and the hull is accurate. The probable lack of interior for play is also a shame. I wonder how many pieces will be used for the gun mechansim on both sides. It's a fantastic ship, the best looking up to date just the asked price is horrendous. Great the black hull pieces are back!
