I must have this set.  And it isn't PURPLE like the first pictures made it appear.

I kind of liked the purple/pink colour scheme, but I suppose I can live with navy blue and red. ;)

The new pirates are definitely a bonus, especially after the number of times in the past they just re-hashed or re-used figures from previous pirate sets. ;)  Glad to see something different for a change! :yup:

That I could do, if you provide a safe harbour for my fleet against the Redbeafs...  ;) ;D

Here's another pic of the Skull Ship...or is it "BLUEbeard's Ship"??

Not yet Richard! I check every week at Target, and so far they still have just last year's offering, except for the Specials.

aye ... you won't have to wait another aeon to get to see the safe harbor you're looking for ... hehehe ;) ... prepare the plunder and the rum ;D

I guess the latest date for the harbor to arrive at a display will be april 2007 in Wolfsburg ;) ;D ..... but as you've been one of the first mateys ever to see the old plans, I may eventually give you a sneak preview .... eventually, that is ... hehehe

you might be a bit surprised, though ... the plans did ... errr .... change somewhat ....   8}

Went to a different Target today that is out of my way and found a slew of new sets!

5754 the Croc hunter set that was previously only available at Meijer's stores - $14.99!

In addition, there is no feer that the Pirates are going away. In addition to the Skull ship we already know about, there was another small set (pirate captain and cannon 5781) to replace the small Blackbeard's set. I saw the small raft set as well as one I have not seen anything written about yet at all 5782, a small Pirate's tower. The building is pretty basic System-X fare, but the cool thing is it has a new flag - skull with bandana. As well as the flag there are two NEW pirates! well, sort of new, they are new combinations using some old elements and some new ones. And one has a new head! It has abandana printed on it covering one eye!

I do not have access to a camera at work, but I hope to take photos tonight and post them - of the croc set, the 5782 and 5781. What I need to do is take the camera to Target and take photos of the sets I cannot afford to buy - such as a combo set with the fireboat and helicopter, a new speedboat and jetski set, and the new Knight's treasure chest, similar to last year's pirate one, but obviously with a knights theme. They also had the Eagle Castle, although no Eagle knights. There was also a small castle tower (system X) in black that came with two green warriors and a Wolf Clan knight! Phew, hope I remembered it all.

As promised, here are photos of the three sets I did pick up. I will try to take a camera to Target with me the next time and take photos of the sets in the store, assuming I do not get thrown out of the store! ;)

First, the croc boat, which has been seen before, but is now more widely available in the US (Meijer stores are exclusive to the Midwest)...
