LEGO Classic Pirates Minifigure (5003082) Review

August 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Since today is a Thursday, let’s do a sort of a retro review on a newer set. For one more day, LEGO will be giving out the promo LEGO Classic Pirates Minifigure (5003082) with purchases of $75 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. Some stores may have already run out of their stock so online is probably the only way you can get it. This set continues the trend from last year where LEGO releases a set dedicated for a classic theme. Last year, we had the Classic Spaceman Minifigure (5002812) and now we have another theme with the Pirates.

Box

Like with the previous promo, the box for the Classic Pirates Minifigure is made of a matte-like material. The design is also the same with the classic LEGO System logo on each side of the box and the year now shows 2015.

The contents of the promo box include a sealable bag of parts, a postcard showing off some of the LEGO Pirates minifigures through the years, and the building instructions/history guide.

The postcard shows a few Pirates minifigures including Captain Redbeard as well as some of the newer ones from this year.

For the instruction booklet, the first couple of pages show you the build while the rest of the book shows you a variety of LEGO Pirates sets starting from 1989 until the present. Did you know there was a LEGO Pirates Advent Calendar (6299) in 2009?

Build

The build for the set is mostly a small island … Continue

July 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Next month, one of the main promos LEGO will be having is the LEGO Classic Pirates Set (5003082) with purchases of $75 or more. The folks across the pond has already gotten a hold of this retro set and for those who was wondering what’s inside the set, Gnaat Lego has given some nice closeup shots of it including the contents. Again, the set has a nice slide out box and is a nice complement to the LEGO Classic Spaceman Minifigure (5002812) set from last year. I look forward to picking up this retro Pirates set next month and adding it to my collection.

LEGO Pirates Chess Set (40158) Out of Stock Until September

March 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

If you’re one of the people who are looking for recently released LEGO Pirates Chess Set (40158), you may be out of luck for a while. The set is currently out of stock on Shop@Home and the next shipment is expected to be shipped on September 13, 2015. Yes, you read that right. That’s six months from now.

I’m not sure if that’s a listing error or if the set is really that popular because I haven’t seen any set lately that had an out-of-stock shipping date six months out. Of course, this date may change later when more sets are produced. You may want to check with your local LEGO Store or LEGOLAND park to see if they still have any in stock or not. Otherwise, you may have to wait a pretty long time for the LEGO Pirates Chess Set (40158) to come back in stock.

LEGO Pirates Chess Set (40158) Image Found

February 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Stepping away for a little bit from the 2015 New York Toy Fair coverage, we have some news to report about the new LEGO Pirates Chess Set (40158). We first reported on this set back last month and we now have an image of what it looks like courtesy of Brickset. The set contains 857 pieces and one of our readers has commented saying that they’ve already picked up this set at LEGOLAND Florida. LEGOLAND shops usually releases sets a little earlier than at LEGO Stores and Shop@Home so if you’re looking to pick up the LEGO Pirates Chess Set up, you might be able to get it early there.
