Creative Anarchy, what does it matter whether it’s labeled as Pirates, Exclusives or whatever?

This is kind of bittersweet for me. Having had a look at this ship I’m just blown away. The pictures make it even cooler. However now that I’ve seen the boat and it’s not officially pirates it feels like a slap in the face. It’s not as if you can pretend this isn’t part of the pirates line. It was obviously modelled to be a pirates release before TLG pulled the plug. I’m not saying I won’t buy two of them, just that I’ll be frowning while I do.

Is it too early to declare this the best LEGO ship ever? I have a huge fondness for the Black Seas Barracuda… but this is incredible. Look at the spars! Two entire decks! Multiple cabins! I was going to breakdown all my pirates 2009 sets and store them, but with this coming… wow… All I can say… wow…

The kids today are going to be very lucky to have THIS to look back on!

This completely makes up for the advent calendar.

Also, this may or may not interest some of you:
The part count is 1664. On October 28, the Admirals Regiment was formed, later to be known as the Royal Marines (part of the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy).

I <3 wikipedia.

Technically, it’s not in the Pirate line, it’s an exclusive. And the Pirate line will be sleeping for a while starting mid 2010. This on the other hand will available on jaunary before the mid 2010 deadline of the Pirate line :) So nobody lied to you Pirate fans ;) We may have twisted the facts a little bit but I’m sure you’ll understand that.

Funny. On the “Death of pirates” post I mentioned it would be cool if they had a UCS Pirate ship. Still has big honkin haul pieces but, not as bad as past ships. May get.

Shit, I think I just died and went to heaven. DO WANT!

I want.
I want this so hard.
I’ve been on the fence of buying the pirate ship for a post-apoc project… but this would work so much better.
On the other hand, such a thing of beauty…

CURSES!

Wow. And just barely 2 weeks after announcing the temporary discontinuation of the Pirates line. I sense a sneaky marketer lurking nearby…
