As far as we can trust brickset, one person already has the big construction set!

These were exactly my first thoughts, as it comes to the drawbridge. I don't really see this becoming a set that is attachable to the big castle, but more of a stand alone set, that would be somewhere outside the castle in the kingdom.

If you read the review, you know it Already saw the review at the acedemy, i really like how you compare certain things to older sets!

take a look at the city 09 thread, there it is posted somewhere on the last few pages.

I know that there are a few older ones, but actually there are much more instructions online that show up on the official lego site. You can find almost all pdf instructions from 1996 till now with this site: http://www.br-eng.info/words/index.php/sea...s/?ins_qry=6552

Thanks very much for the info! I hope the other instructions are also coming up soon, but it could be that they are just teasing us once again, remember that for example one booklet for the city farm is also online already. Do you have the direct link to it?

More new pictures are now up:

Fascinating review of a beautiful ship, i can't wait to get it but it probably will take a long time until then Just one question: You mentioned the "code starting with 4 that Legomilk always asks for on the back of the booklets doesn't work yet" in the review, so my question is, where are those codes on the instructions, and could you post it so we kann look for the pdf instructions from time to time? That would be very nice.

This is a very hard decision, as every set looks great for me, but i'd also have to go with brickbeards bounty! I think this ship almost perfectly combines old and new aspects, and as i just saw some closeups i really fell in love Definitely Nr. 1 for me, followed by the soldiers fort and the shipwreck hideout.

I don't wanna clash on general, but seems dsvelte also got this set, and he has got some really awesome pictures in his brickshelf folder! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=352702 Look at that...i'm in a gold ecstasy

Well, they are also not coming out here in austria before that, but i grabbed one off bricklink. There it is even more expensive than in stores, but i couldn't resist and my parents paid it anyway.

Sorry, but i don't trust that information at all. I am sure those sets will be available all over the world in normal stores, anything other would absolutely make no sense. They know how much the fans are awaiting these sets. I don't know where this comes from, but i consider this as untrue rumors.

You mean in the style of it, because "like it" would be a bit small

I think all of these will also be on S@H, as every "exclusive" set before.

Yes exactly, sorry, i just saw that after i posted it

They are now on his brickshelf folder *hint* Although a bit blurry, but they do it for now..i like that they made the back modular, as with the skeleton ship, and there's also a storage area under the cabine The interior of the cabin itself could be a bit better, but it already is more than in every other pirate ship before! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=352547

Somebody already did a review on brickshelf! Goin' to check it out now... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=352540

welcome here, and thanks for the info! What kind of preview is that, is it a public announcement of the new sets as it happened for the new castle set?

Mine has been shipped from bricklink! Unfortunately it is beeing shipped to my parents and i won't get it before christmas Anyway, i can't wait to get my hands on it!

You know what, maybe exactly the new pirates theme will stop the financial crisis!

Thanks for another great review, brickster! I didn't really pay much attention to this and the other smaller sized set, but you changed my mind! You just gotta love those new metal clored cannons and the new minifigs with printed backs are lovely aswell, i hope TLG will continue to do that! now, the only set we're missing good pictures and a review of, is the ship

I agree that the new telescope piece is a very good one, i can see much use for it in future sets. It already also comes to use in the new medieval market village castle set! http://www.acapsoft.com/dropbox/xyh2.jpg

I'd say dark tan. Compare the bridge to the other tan bricks attached to it in this picture:

Definitely not. it's got 483 pieces and a different number.

I think he's referring to the crownie queen, not the orc queen. i personally think, it could be included in every of these sets or in none of them. i could imagine good that it will be included as prisoner in the troll fortress, like the princess was in the skeleton tower. But we have to wait and see, anyway all of those sets sound very good to me, especially the fortress!
