Pirates 4DISC box set with mini Black Pearl

Zounds! too bad i already have the 4 movies on individual DVD boxes. this box set comes with the black pearl in Lego. from the looks of it, its not too hard to build on my own. but i DID stop to look at the box and offer...

Black Pearl

Wow.. the picture on my last post recieved 94 views in the first 20 minutes after it was posted.

anyways, on to the good stuff. =]

The Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean was released today in stores for my area (officially, it was released this past sunday....). i've already bought mine. and have yet to build it. i am determined to finish the gunship (7676) first before any other sets....it looks like i am already being sidetracked by the sith nightspeeder (7957) and have already assembled the minifigs.. -_- (at least i finished the M. Falcon.. i was a lil disappointed that the airlocks didnt actually 'go through' the ship, but was just for show.)

i have known about the Black Pearl for a while now, the set itself doesn't look all too impressive, but for those of us... that LOVE Pirates of the Caribbean, despite bad reviews, will get the ship anyways. There is a flying dutchman coming out next year, (cough cough) but for now, i will have only Davy Jones to enjoy with this set. at least this means i no longer have to use a kitt fisto minifig for my POTC creations. why does it even come with this set? well, the flying dutchman will have an EVEN spookier captain.

More Guns to Come in 2012

I'm actually pretty stoked, I found out a couple weeks ago, that TLG will be coming out with sets that have guns in their sets. As Lego originally stated, they dont use guns in their sets to keep the children's minds more clean and long from violence. The new sets look very "Jurassic Park" ish.

The guns to be expected are sniper rifles and shotguns. To be more exact, the Lego Dino sets are as follows.

882 Ambush Attack – USD$8.95
5883 Tower Takedown – USD$17.95
5886 T-Rex Hunter – USD$62.95
5887 Dino Defense HQ – USD$89.95
5884 Raptor Chase – USD$26.95


The prices seem reasonable, altho I havent seen more then a glimpse of the few sets from the images scattered around the internet. TLG is very quick to remove images, as the sets for next year are considered "confidential" up until next year anyways.

I was just thinking that the girlie components to Lego had faded away, since their last line, "Belville" did not do so well. I'm not even sure how many ppl out there bought those sets. Old sets occasionally show up on Amazon, but those sets, i have not seen too often. Lego has decided to try this hand again. Hope its not all pink bricks...

With Comic Con's last showing, i'm very excited for the newer superhero sets to come. Batman sets will always be welcome... altho the market does seem a lil saturated with batman sets to begin with. I'm wondering what kind of sets there will be with Green Lantern, and Superman. I'm only guessing that there will be a phone booth that transforms Clark Kent to Superman, like Barbossa did in set 4181.
