More good news!

As you probably know, we asked the LEGO fans to vote on what LEGO Legend
they wanted to see come back the most. The winner was the Black Seas
Barracuda pirate ship. As of today, you can pre-order this set through Shop
At Home!

http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?prod_id=10040

Additionally, we also had such a positive response for the 2nd place winner,
that we decided to release that one as well. (And because of several things,
the 2nd place winner made it through manufacturing faster!)

http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?prod_id=10039

Have a great week!

Jake

And this time, the new one got 31 more pieces than the 6285, yet the price is
lowered.  Cool!!

Wow... $150 Aus?  Woohoo!

These last couple of monthss have had most of Lugnet grinning insanely.
First was the ISD, then the Falcon's Fortress, and the rumours of 2003 Star
Wars sets...
But I can say unequivocally that this has been the one message I have been
waiting to hear all this time.  Thankyou Lego Direct :)

Plus, the ship is $10.00 less than the 6290 RBR and and has almost 200 more
pieces!!  Awesome!!!!!!!!!

(...and don't forget the pirate princess/wench)  :)

BEHOLD!!! THE LEGENDARY Black Sea Baracuda is finally back to rule the sea.

Thanks a lot Lego, After +- 10 years, I'm finally able to get this set.
Just couldn't express how happy I'm.

I'm about to get my 2nd pirate ship very soon and they are definitly
can't wait to be able to visit their old buddies at Eldorado Fortress or
Imperial Trading Post.  ^_~

I really hope we will be able to get more pirate set re-release
especially "Skull's Eye Schooner" and etc.

Hope Lego get a positive response after this re-release. And get more
Pirate sets return to bring back the Lego Pirate theme.

PS: I hope this one come with shooting cannon.

Thanks a lot Lego.

Also, don't forget the USS Constitution.... $A99.95. Great value as a source
of parts, and will be interesting to reconfigure for minifig use as well.

Cheers

Thank You for listening to the Lego fans!  This is going to be a banner year
for sets!  I'm totally excited about the new releases.  And even though I
already own a couple of BSBs, I may have to buy another one or two just for
the shear joy!  Thanks Lego!
