Diggin’ some of the new parts. Love the new windows on the back of the ship, and the captains cabin set with it’s new globe and ship-in-a-bottle/s! A lot of the great colors as well. Pretty excited for these as parts packs.
My only complaint… Where is the Black Pearl.
I like the Queen Anne’s Revenge, seems to be about the same size as Red Beard’s ship. Color is more darker too. Should fit in with the current Pirate Theme.
Looking forward to these sets!!!
I will make sweet love to these sets.
MTV?!? That’s a rather odd outlet for breaking LEGO news, isn’t it? The sets look very cool, though!
MTV? WTF.
I will buy those Captain’s Cabin sets in bulk. There is not a bad part in the entire set.
“My only complaint… Where is the Black Pearl.”
Where the bloody hell is Flying Dutchman :D
All sets are just fantastic :)
I love the new bucket piece and the wine bottles.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN LEGO! CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY!! Now how about some Lord oft the Rings Legos?
Neat. I’m wondering if these hat wig parts are all one piece… it would be cool if some of them were separate.
I haven’t seen all the pirates of the carribian movies, but thats a lot of new parts, more than I have seen in a new Lego set in a long time. Great detail, loving the wine bottles
Great looking sets but I don’t like that they will have MANY stickers and not printed bricks.
Disney typically requires printed bricks instead of stickers in their sets. I suspect this will be the case with POTC sets as well.
Great pieces ‘n’ all… but I can’t but help quoting Waylen Smithers: “Look! Malibu Stacy’s got a new hat!”
Here are all of the high resolution and official press releases I’ve been able to find from Disney:

I swear I’m not being a crummudgeon but I’m really disappointed in these sets. It’s not like I had high expectations either. They look very spartan compared to the Potter and toystory sets. I’ll probably buy multiples of a lot of the sets. I love pinks and browns and there are amazing new pieces and old pieces that I didn’t get a chance to buy off the shelf but I won’t even assemble most of these sets and the ones I do won’t stay up very long. they’re just not very cool.
