Things are starting to fall into place for the launch (relaunch) of the Lego Pirate theme. Lego has uploaded the high resolutions images in preparation for putting the sets in the coming soon section of the online store. Reviewers are getting their pre-release copies and there is at least one set already available in Europe.
Pirate Treasure Hunt (10679) - This 57 piece set is actually a Juniors set, but Pirate themed, so I figured I'd throw it in here. This set is already available in the UK, so it should be out quite quickly in the United States.
Shipwreck Defense (70409) - 84 pieces
I thought I'd share the new images one more time before launch to wet your whistle one last time before they hit stores. I reported that the launch would be in April as per the information from this catalog, but it may be sooner, Brickset thinks it may be as soon as February.
Soldiers Outpost (70410) - 164 pieces
Treasure Island (70411) - 181 pieces
Soldiers Fort (70412) - 234 pieces
The Brick Bounty (70413) - 745 pieces
DISCUSSION
I've never had a pirate set before; I was always jealous of my friends who had them. Maybe if I'm good my partner will get me one for Christmas.
