LEGO Pirates 2015 – Australian Release and Price Details

January 13, 2015 | 9

I was checking up on the tracking status of my LEGO Birds set on LEGO.com over my lunch break and stumbled upon some interesting stuff – Australian prices for the upcoming Pirates 2015 sets! You can now check out the prices and product listings on the Australian LEGO.com shop but you can’t purchase them yet – they will be available online on 1 March 2015.

• LEGO 70409 Shipwreck Defence – $15.99
• LEGO 70410 Soldiers Outpost – $29.99
• LEGO 70411 Treasure Island – $29.99
• LEGO 70412 Soldiers Fort – $49.99
• LEGO 70413 The Brick Bounty – $139.99

When will these show up in Australian brick & mortar toy stores? The LEGO 3D Catalogue App has an Australian release date of April 2015. I’m guessing that the new Pirates set will be available for purchase online on shop.lego.com/en-AU for about a month before they actually show up in Australia. There’s tons of precedent for that to happen.

Personally, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for LEGO Pirates, and the new sets look pretty cool, especially the new pirate ship, The Brick Bounty which received its name from a contest that ran on LEGO’s Rebrick website a couple of months ago.

Here are some pictures to get you excited for the return of LEGO Pirates!

That’s it! I hope you’re as excited as I am about Pirates 2015. I’m looking forward to the Soldiers Fort the most, it would be great to cobble a few of them together to create a decent-sized fort. I have a thing for LEGO Pirate forts (more so than ships, gasp!) as one of my favourite sets of all time is the classic 6276 Eldorado Fortress.

Let me know in the comments if you have any of these sets on your wishlist!
