Wow that is crazy. If I had the funds and know how on shipping. I would buy another and sell it straight up plus shipping of course.

Wait I thought that there was a review out for it. If not well then I will go ahead and write a review of it. BTW I was told by LEGO that the offical release date for the BP was November 1st(official) I was talking to an employee of Lego today and they were amazed that I was able to get a BP before the release date.

Just picked up the Black Pearl. Will be putting her together tomorrow. Can't wait!

After reading countless posts in the POC Black Pearl Thread about people in the U.S. Picking them up at Target stores I took it upon myself to call about 10 different Target stores. Of course none of them had the Black Pearl. Then I remembered when I lived about 20min south of me there was a SUPER TARGET Store. So I went ahead and called them. Told the Lady the number and she read it back to me. After work I went on down to the store and "voila" there she was in all her glory. They had about 6 boxes and 6 of the QAR. The QAR was tempting but I fell in love with the BP right away. Paid just under $110US(Illinois). Haven't had the chance to open it and build it I will leave that for after work tomorrow. I am going to take some pictures though to show the LEGOLAND guys at my work since they had told me it wasn't to be released until the 1st of November! It's been about 15yrs since my last ship I had and my Flood took care of most of the pieces. Can't wait to start building this thing. ok no matter what you read think about this Logically. If the POTC failed then why would LEGO release something for a second round if it failed so badly?

Just went ahead and got myself a Pearl. I haven't got around to building it but I will be taking plenty of pictures. Man it's been so long since I owned a Lego ship. I feel like a giddy 12yr old boy again.

I agree. Can't wait for my Lego store to release it on November 1st. I will be buying both

I actually called a few Toys"R"Us stores to see if they had it but no luck!

I agree it looks like a better build too. However I am going to end up buying both QAR and BP then after that the IFS. Then onto the older ships.

For the people that don't know me I work at Woodfield Mall in Illinois. I actually work right next to the Lego Discovery people in the same booth. I have been talking with them about this release. The girl that works here said that in IL atleast it is slated to come out sometime in early November. She said she thought it was the 7th to be exact. Also I thank you for the size info. I now know that it is the same size all around as the QAR!

As like everyone else Kudos for the stop motion video. I as well am starting to like the ship. When I first head and read about it, it seemed as if the ship was going to be super small. On thinking about the Size how does it compare to other ships? Would you be able to take pictures next to each and every ship separately for us as a size comparison? If it's as big as you video showed it I might make off getting the Imperial Flagship and just go right for the Black Pearl and Queen Ann's Revenge and then get the Imperial Flagship sometime in December!

Oh why thank you. I wasn't sure where to post up. Now I have fully looked and see that this Forum isn't just dedicated to Pirates.

I thank you for the link to Bricklink that place is awesome. Unfortunatly I couldn't find any piece to try and put back toeghter my Renegade Runner but oh well.

Thanks guys I was leaning more toward the Flagship just for the sure massiveness. Since I have only owned the Renegade Runner in the past this ship is by far bigger. I have been out of the game for a while now but I see a lot of things have changed. Colors of weapons, Mini-fig's now have facial expressions(IDK about the rest of you but it's kinda weird to see that, Could be i'm still attached to the old plain face min-fig's where you had to imagine them saying stuff). I am super mad I didn't pickup a Black Seas Barracuda & Caribbean Clipper for $150 last week. It would have been an awesome deal but then the guys friend had to go and tell him they were worth more than $350.

Hey guys whats up I have been a long time collector of Legos up until 1999 Unfortunately a flood wiped away most of my Lego sets. I am now 27 and trying to Buy/Build stuff to get my Pirate Collection back in swing. All I have left of my old ships is the rear half of the bow to my Renegade Runner. I started trying to piece together what I have left of my Legos. Slowly but surely I am piecing them together with the help of Brickfactory:) So far I have recovered 90% of a 6245 set(just missing the Flag/Mini-fig) Also was able to piece together a 1713 but think it should actually be a 6234. It sucks because I had about 60% of all the Pirate stuff and now I think I have about 2% oh well things happen. Anyway just want to say whats up and I am looking forward to starting an Armada soon. Got a question for you guys though. I am having a dilemma I want to get one of the new ships but am torn between the Imperial Flagship and Queen Ann's Revenge! If you had a choice witch would you go for? Thanks and hope to see you all soon. BTW I am not a very good artist however I am trying myself out on that Lego Designer to build a ship. It's a little annoying but I'm sure using it more and more I will learn it quickly.
