They're good maps, but don't need to be used here. TLG should have created new maps OR fell back on the good old ones. BUT in the hands of someone who has a big imagination it doesn't matter, does it?
I would open it. Lego was made to be enjoyed not left to rot on some dusty shelf 6 feet off the carpet. I'm not some insane collector,in fact I detest that type . If I wanted to sell on I'd just say I cared for it. I say: Open it, just look after it.
Like jamtf, I haven't any sets yet as I live in Europe (well the UK), however, I will definitely buy:
Cannon Battle
Pirate Survival
Soldier's Arsenal
Loot Island
If, after that I still have enough money, I will buy the other sets.
I'm one of those poor souls who lives in the UK, so I won't get the models until next year (I think they will be released then).
Anyway great review, with a great set. The minifigures look great, especially with the accessories!
I will be getting that set A.S.A.P.
Lego Pirates are back, Yay!!!
I hope that TLG release the Pirates range into UK stores before Christmas, because I really want some of those sets! I never got a chance to see the Pirates sets of the 80s and 90s because the range was axed when I was very young, so I can't wait to get my hands on the new range.
I agree with all those who said yes , because like Sir Dano said the Simpsons have mixed yellow and darker coloured skin tones, so why cant Lego?
However, I think you would need a lot of dark skin heads if you were to say, put some on a Pirate model so I say only do so if you have plenty of choice and lots of dark skin minifigs to put those heads on.
Arrr...
I agree with that 36(ish)% who say the Lagoon Lockup.
Why I hear you ask...
Because it is great, as it has good old Captain Redbeard , an interesting jail cell for the Pirate and a gold gun! Yayyy!
Arrrr...
Let me see me hearties...
It were if you ask me, that cocky Castle Knight!
He should be thrown into the sea with the sharks
NB: I'm not entirely sure though. It could have even been suicide.
