Doing a POTC without Depp is like doing Harry Potter without freggin Harry Potter.

Was thinking about this. What could be a cooler toy than the POTC Ship?

So far the only thing I can come up with is the scene in the Disney ride where the ship and the fort are firing at each other. Somehow have cannons (Williams Big Guns style) fire at each other. Come up with a decent ship design, and some sort of modified MM castle/fort and having these things fire locked balls (or maybe smaller balls like in FG Stewie pinball).

Also I recall a giant whirlpool in one of the movies. Perhaps have a funnel open up on the PF which takes you to a lower "underwater" PF.

It's going to be hard to top Stern's POTC ship.

Maybe if there's no Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, they could get Michael Bolton to sub in...

^^^ Agreed

Thanks Dwight.

Wouldn't that be nice??? Instead 20 threads will pop up:
- 3 "breaking" the news this thread is already for
- 2 positive feedback
- 2 negative feedback
- 2 "which model to buy?" threads
- and of course 11 "my personal opinion" (hey everyone, focus on me!) threads.

Brace yourselves. It's coming.

At this point, I'm hoping it doesn't leak at all (2 days ago, different story). The reveal is close enough now, so let's see their grand unveiling unspoiled and the way JJP intended.

I bet it will have at least TWO tie fighters on springs!

I was gonna call that bad form, but posting the pic is pure SHIT form.

Yes

If you actively try to go to their site and somehow figure out where the pics are buried, that's one thing. To steal the thunder from guys who worked 1-2 years on a project and post it on a site they hadn't posted it on themselves, literally as they're gearing up to do a formal reveal, is a backhanded slap to the time and commitment to the project.

Side note - I thought leaked photos weren't allowed.

But just like I learned with CBS and tom petty last week, i guess it's more important to be first, than it is to be right or have basic ethics.

Think of it this way - perhaps it was available on their website if you knew how to manipulate the web address or click the right pages. But did JJP want it leaked right before their grand reveal?

If the answer is "no" and you post it = dick move.

Plain and simple. You did what they didn't want just for to be the guy who always posts "FIRST!" in the comments section.

What an amazing game. The interesting thing is now this is "the bar" which all future releases from others will be compared to for at least a year or two.

At this very moment Stern is changing their underwear and sending meeting invites for tomorrow to figure out how to get an EXTRA spring loaded toy on their next game.

JJP is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.
