I saw the announcement a couple of hours ago on the Italian LEGOShop but now the promotion isn't mentioned. Anyway, it works.

Crap I like this one a lot better than the US one, heh.

Nice. Looks like a new face (or old face with new colour beard) and a new torso print as well.

This will be the giveaway in US next month

Just tried in UK store and doesn't work atm. Will try later tonight
been meaning to buy some of these pirates sets anyway!

Is this like the classic spaceman figure from last year?

How is this classic? New technic built Palm tree, higher Rez torso and face printing, and the shark's eyes are painted rather than molded. AND WHERE'S THE MONKEY?

/sarcasm

Is the gold brick (as visible on the picture) a new LEGO piece for this set only? Has it occurred anywhere else? Please, send a link if you find it somewhere else. Thank you.

I'm rather annoyed that those of us outside the US will not get the chance to obtain the remaining free LEGO Star Wars posters. We got the episode 4 poster in May, but it appears only the US will have the opportunity to obtain the other five posters. Do LEGO not think that people outside the US may also want to collect the other posters?

Thanks for nothing, LEGO.

Does anyone know when the next Star Wars poster is released at the LEGO store? I'd like to try and get this set and the poster in the same order.

@Sabreman64 the Episode V Star Wars poster was available last month at the LEGO store - free with any Star Wars purchase. It was for one week mid- June(ish) and I'm guessing Episode VI poster will be around mid-July but preferably sooner. It wasn't advertised, just added to cart when you bought a Star Wars set

@Sabreman64 As mr_skinny said, the posters are/were available in Europe. The Episode VI poster is available this month from July 20-26 in the US, so most probably here at the same time.

I'm assuming the pirate set is in the same boxed format as last year's spaceman one?

i saw the pub in the morning, in the UK Store, i made a purschase, and is in my order.

as i saw the box format is like the spaceman last year, and include a booklet with the "history" of the minifig versions

@juggleman The gold bar has been in a few Lone Ranger sets.

Re: the Star Wars posters. Well, the episode 5 poster certainly wasn't available in Europe online at the same time as the US. I tried changing the region to the US and there was the offer on the LEGO store home page. But when I changed back to the UK and added a Star Wars set to my cart - no poster. So I was assuming the remaining 5 posters were not available outside the US. I'll try adding a Star Wars set to my cart every few days this month to see what happens, but I won't hold my breath.

That is a nice polybag!

@Huw
I'd like to support the site by following the link, but I am Dutch so all those links to either the UK, France, or German LEGO.com Lego sites are useless to me. I don't know what kind of deal you have with TLG, but would it not be better (if it makes any difference to you and gets you extra revenue for supporting brickset.com) to also provide a link to the Dutch, and the Belgian etcetera LEGO.com websites!?!

BTW. this Pirate gift set is really nice!

Not at all classic, but it's still a very nice little promo. Goes perfectly with the pirate hideout sets.

Is this available in the US?

@ The Big Legoski

Links are always go to LEGO.com, just change your language/region in the upper right corner.

;)
Stefaan

Nice set! Actually one of the best sets this wave :-)

@NPimenta - thanks :)
@The Big Legoski - the Dutch and Belgian Lego sites don't yet offer commission. Would still be helpful to have the links though.

This offer is shown under VIP Promotions when you click to see you VIP account, where you also find the sets that are on double points offer.

That set is so much better than the space one we are getting in the US...

I really like his set. Do anyone know if this will be added with purchase made at pick a brick?

Thanks
Jan

It looks like a cute little set. But the Swiss LEGO.com shop wants me to spend CHF100, and I've already done that twice last month (it's their limit for free delivery). I think I'll pass...
[I'm a member of that small audience Huw doesn't bother to promote :)]

@Huw, can't you magicode it, or whatever the function is on the CMS you're using? That way you create the code once and can add it easily by using something like {TLG-LINKS} - unless of course the affiliate code changes often then it becomes more painful indeed. I'd love to order from Lego UK, especially at the moment with the exchange rate, but always used to redirect me to Lego Belgium so I've stopped trying.

Someone said this will be available in the US next month? Can anyone confirm? If not I would greatly appreciate if a friend across the pond can score me one of these, I MUST HAVE IT! SO much better than our promo, chrome cold coins and a bar which have not been produced in a long time, a new pirate torso and possibly face. I love it!

I really dislike how the website updates so that the double points on sets were added on the 1st and yet this promo bag appears on the 2nd. Why not add both at the start of July.

Also, just checked now and didn't register at £50 (Tried varying amounts higher up to £55) but instead registered at £75 so someone mixed up the euro and pound symbols again.

Either way, tempted to check this out with Lego, see if the polybag is added to the order I made which ran into issues causing it not to be counted till just now. Given the site lists the order as being made on the 2nd so it should have been made eligible, right? :s

Awww. That's a really cute little set! Wants.

I agree with the others, cool little set, and prefer this to the Spaceman polybag as well. I'm sure it'll be available to US next month.

Looked through the US site and confirmed that we get the Classic Pirate promo in August! Yay! Also, I can finally buy my Pirates Soldiers Outpost 70410 for double VIP points!

On the down side, in the US it's a purchase of $75+ for the gift.

And im holidaying in the US in August for 3 weeks, winning!

This pirates promo seems to be available for Aussies as well. Good opportunity to pick up stuff that isn't available locally.

^Yes it's boxed. https://www.flickr.com/photos/114676176 @N08/18739717754/in/dateposted/

Any chance that someone will get 2, and sell me the spare? I've just bought the sets I want at our local toy sales..

@janhm

Yes, you get this if any proportion of your order is Pick A Brick - as long as the total value of the order (excluding shipping) is over £50.

I bought £120 worth of Pick A Brick on 1st July and then this offer kicked in on the 2nd! Oh well, we live and learn. I placed more orders on the 2nd anyway.

My review here : https://gnaat.wordpress.com/2015/07/02/5003082-exclusive-classic-pirate-minifigure/

I really appreciate that ordering from shop.lego.com always gives me an opportunity to refresh my knowledge about cookies and browsertechnology. *cough*

@CalumHeath.

Thanks. Yea I just ordred as well, but I recon I need to order some more when I'm back home tomorrow:)

I hate this kind of stuff! I wanted purchase this kind of simples sets but again, just in Europe, just this, just that... Why not release as a normal set world wide for those who weren't lucky enough to be born in the Europe?

@Samie
I saw that we will get it at the beginning of august! (lego august 2015 calendar). For us...

I am a V.I.P but no purchase over £50 for me until Ferrari F40 & Scooby do sets come out.
Found 1 on ebay for a tenner!!

Now the collector in me says leave it sealed in box, Kid in me says build it!!!

Might need to get another 1 !!!

Very annoying that it said the "July Offer", yet it ended on the 11th (Which was the day before I could spend my birthday gift cards...)
