How did you order this set? i have been checking the lego site and still says out of stock, i wonder if stock is allocated by continents! I wouldn't cry about the monkey, heck given the popularity of this set I feel Lego will slip it in eventually to satiate our needs but at the end of the day, I still want one! I cannot lie that I was put off by the back order status and now that it's out of stock it's worse, i'm not worried i'll play the waiting game haha I am in Texas we will see if with the Mall reopening this Friday the Lego Store will follow suit if anything I highly doubt it but I am patient, I understand this pandemic is bigger than all of us! no Worries :/ But seriously i hate online shopping, now with the shipping delays and month and half wait plus taxes now, it's no bueno.....

Sucks that no stores are open to walk in and snatch one up, but now that it’s sold out, doesn’t help it at all that you can’t buy it anywhere! At first the 30 day back order was a huge turn off but this is worse

now it’s back ordered for a month, to make matter worse stores are close and since it’s only exclusive there’s no alternative, before i could drive to either my local legoland or lego store but not the case. you’ll get your toy when they can, everything in the toy world has been delayed about a month or a few extra weeks more than anything and not just lego either

I feel that LEGO ideas has a different type of funding than normal lines and therefore dumping more money into making this set unique, I feel that LEGO took a risk making this set because if they re released the black seas barracuda they would have to produce more sets than just a standalone re issue of a ship, when I first saw this idea set I thought nothing much of it just as a stand alone pirate fortress, but now that we can combine it to make a ship that resembles the barracuda with a lower deck for this price range is a welcome addition. i would had loved for them to expand the 2015 pirates line since they were going the modular route, but for the price range, playability and creativity of this set, the massive throwback of a box design including the pirate labeling in different languages and the back of the box, screams 1989 LEGO box art, something I feel wouldn’t applied if this mainstream imho. At the end of the day, the thought of this set being available in a middle line of franchises for LEGO is a welcome change, never have I been looking forward to purchasing this set day one, but I am just worried about it being back ordered because the stores are closed for the time being.

Wow, the pirate lines lives! Day 1 purchase for me and I cannot wait! Love the 3-1 function and the Easter eggs, this invokes the old pirates line 100% I love it, the fact that it can turn into a ship, is like finally getting the instructions for the possible sets you could in the back of the old pirate sets boxes!!

Whatever happened to the Shazam poly bag?

Exactly what I was thinking, the trailer gave away nothing Since a lot of scenes were not even in the movie

I just wish big figs had more playability than just neutral poses imho

I only buy the sets for the figures, but they could have easily added at least a sakaaran, or anyone else than black widow, or they could had reused more pieces from the helicopter to help a bigger leviathan, but still, amazing set, knowing lego the other figs will be in bricktober packs, like IW. Lololol, they could literally go the cmf route in the future with endgame figs but who knows

It was a Target Exclusive polybag stateside, which is kind of funny usually target polybags are super hard to get, but I managed to get four for my upcoming space fleet! Like the review says I wish they done the lunar space station differently, for it to be more modular!

The LEGO July calendar is out, it has a free space satellite poly bag for purchases over 40usd, funny thing is it can be found at target!?

Does brick and pieces ship your LEGO orders when the transaction clears the bank? I noticed this weird trend whenever ordering online, they sit in a warehouse until it goes through then it ships

LEGO has been acting weird recently, honestly my city has a LEGO store and a legoland, legoland has all the July wave on shelves and half the new city sets on the store, but whenever official LEGO store got their space sets yesterday’s, they only got half of the space theme and no city, but yet legoland had the other missing sets, even LEGO corporate employees don’t know what’s going on with them anymore, speaking to the store manager doesn’t help either since LEGO controls their shipments

Im excited, my local legoland in san antonio has the new wave in stock! The clocktower is sold out though, they have all the new waves from the july wave on shelves!!

My only gripe about supes is that the game gives him the cape with the yellow logo but we got a generic cape, not that it’s a bad thing but still wouldn’t been nice

Dang bro seriously, whats with the bricks and pieces massive delay!? It took four weeks to arrive and customer support citing a national holiday!? The orders sit in a warehouse for a week before shipping, i complained and they gave me 300 vip points, but the other issue is that fed ex has been screwing up shipments from lego left and right, my packaged should had arrived saturday but they delayed it using exemptions until delivery today!!

Of course it has been successful, like everything you said is what makes Lego a relevant player in the business, i venture in other toy lines who clearly can’t say that’s the case for them, rather than produce mass amounts of toys they stick by pre orders to get an accurate count of production, hence why toy collecting has skyrocketed, i mean i never complain about lego pricing because my main focus is Soul of Chogokin figures and hot toys, which rival lego sets in 200-300 range. I honestly feel that no words can express our frustration with pirates, even if i buy an old set i would feel something is missing, mostly because i am so used to the way lego does things nowdays, as much as i would to complete the whole entire pirates line i would feel sad because the colors used back then would feel way off from the current brick choices that have been created since then including new molds that would totally enhance the set. Sad to say i will never be an AFOL, im a lego user that follows instructions, heck growing up i could never figure out how they made the different builds shown in back of boxes then. My problem is that im stuck with whatever Lego plans to do with the future of this line, we can all see they are testing waters by implementing them in different lines, and i love what they are doing, is just a matter of time if they decide to give another wave a “go” 2009-2010 were my lego dark ages and i visited the lego store so much that dumb me missed out on the clearance sales from the 2009 pirates wave and the imperial ship, which is why i bought two of each set from the 2015 lines. Can’t complain though, im just a sucker for pirates lore and toys. i feel guilty getting the playmobil pirates just because

We are all out of touch, IMHO, we are clinging to good old memories this line has brought us over the years. Lego is a corporation that have to makes ends meet, now depending on who you talk to it's all good and bad, I mean if you ever stumble in deep german forums you can see how fans who grew up in the 70's, 80's are mad that lego went the IP over everything route, which is true, I feel City is the only successful old school line but the sad true is that kids nowdays are all into ninjago, nexus knights, lego movie, Disney princesses and friends, mostly because if anyone has seen cartoon network, they get all the exposure there. I too love classic space, castle's, kingdoms, most of all pirates! I am too super sad that lego kicked the curb the pirates line for the majestic 30th anniversary release which they did 10 years ago, but the demographics have changed, call me crazy but I do love the 2015 line, they were starting the produce their lego formula or making smaller sets into big ones and my guess was that the "next" wave would had been bigger sets of course, the forts had that AFOL city build to them, I could had imagined what would have been the newer sets but spending time at lego stores, some good friends that I have known for the past 5 years have told me that the pirates line never sold that well, same with marvel, heck kids choices are weird now days, but at the end of the day kids are really not buying that many toys anymore, which would lead to believe if Lego days are semi numbered, my kids despite having the whole entire toy story 4 line up only play with the minifigures and leave the bricks laying around, but who knows licensed set pricing keeps going up, but with sometimes less bricks and pieces per dollar, at the end of day we all know deep down that there won't be a line in 2020, unless lego approves the pirate ideas set and decides to test waters with new sets. My local Walmart has the roller coaster themed pirate set for 72, at least like 20 stacked. I am a simple guy I guess, I love all sets from all the previous releases up to the 2015 even though it was barebones, I do wish lego did give some tough love to castles/pirates a bit more to say the least. I feel the new mars explorations are filling the classic space theme in a good way, im excited for them, I love the new designs, would love me some pirates more I guess

EXACTLY!!! for obvious reasons

So the new upcoming colors for the sets are from the comics right?? Im so glad i got my superfriends colors along with the all black suit, i’ll take that bruce wayne though

The current layout throws me off, so isn’t the clock tower supposed to be behind the great hall or are they building it backwards to forwards? I mean I feel we are missing three more sets, they can add the greenhouse/ great hall courtyard/ astronomy tower, I confuse them two sometimes

the biggest example is the ecto 1, when that was approved from LEGO, they got their ip, not long after they acquired their license, another firehouse won 10,000, but LEGO declined it, next thing you know the d2c gets released, stating the same ideas logic, read the comments from a lot of sets that make 10,000 votes for stating things like the set is not possible etc, especially from the previous Jurassic park sets that reached the 10,000, yeah sure a lot of ideas “overlap” but lego will not give credit to the main guys who had it. i am not a disgruntled LEGO ideas creator at all, but it makes sense for a business to take ideas from consumers and credit it as their own, in the end though we all want a bunch of sets from ideas, but they kind of dropped the ball with this one, we all know well LEGO has been compartmentalizing sets recently, we will get our Jeep/explorer in a future set watch, toy companies have been doing this for a while, buuuuttt I do feel the original ideas set that won, was waaay better designed than this one imho, i would only buy it for the minifigures than anything, that sad to say fit better with the 40 dollar raptor escape from the 1992 movie

any kind of hogwarts extensions would be nice, both sets; the castle and the astronomy tower have peg holes at the end for obvious reasons

I love your castle mod, thank you, I noticed you added an extra floor that makes it better in regards to proportions, the main tower feels small though, but I managed to buy the bricks from bricks and pieces thanks to your ideas it is exactly what I was looking for! If you are interested you can read the manual of the huge castle and see how they build the base and pick up the pieces from LEGO themselves while still in stock! quick question, I noticed the banquet hall rear also has technic pegs bricks along with the new 75948 astronomy tower add on, is it possible for them to expand backwards. What else can they possibly add to hogwarts as a whole?

This is the article that I read that pissed me off, ohh great minds think a like, I call bull on that statement, LEGO as a company who has rights to the franchise will not pay a LEGO ideas creator because they thought about it, same thing happened with the ghostbusters fire house and a couple of more LEGO sets, they only produce sets that have no bearing or sets they would never think of making money off, like dinosaur bones, lolol, it’s a joke in my opinion and makes me feel extremely bad for the talent wasted on even getting 10,000 votes in the first place which is hard, how much you want to bet the Pirate Bay hang out will get released as a regular pirates set than as LEGO ideas?? for the same amount of LEGO pieces they managed to squeeze a car, and more figures, the gates with embedded sets from the movie feels off imho Dude I have seen five jeeps where I live like the original Jurassic park Jeep, I only have seen one Jurassic world Jeep with grey and blue markings, there’s a big following in my city, I can attest to that, I must have watched Jurassic park 125+ Times in one summer alone, the explorer is rare I only seen one, heck speaking of which there’s an exhibit in my city featuring a recreation of the trex breakout with the Explorer at the celebrity fan fest this weekend
