Here’s hoping KMart stocks this so I can get a couple for free :-p

When it gets to 66% off?

Honestly, probably 1 at the typical % off RRP at WM then wait for discounts on the other two. I am jonesing bad for this set. I am really excited to see MOC's from multiple kits of this and the Expert model. Its tempting to abandon all my currently collected themes and go all in on amusement.

You may want to get the Friends one first as that will retire first.

People been waiting 40 years for a coaster and two come along at the same time.

Interesting, but I was expecting pirate ship ride to be one of alternate builds

That was my first grab when they were on sale so I have the complete line of Friends Amusement + Poly x2. Might try for another Bumper Car to make it a true bumper car set. Ferris Wheel and Carousel are also obtained so I am trying really hard to find the Fairground Mixer at a good deal. Knowing the New Expert coaster will be around a while once released, I'll probably wait on that one and supplement my needs with this new Pirates one. Growing up I had most of the first line of Pirates so I should be set there creating more themed parts. Now to just sell off some of my new/used inventory to fund this madness and find display space.

If on a good offer I'll be tempted to get 3 to build a mini pirate themed land

I'm laughing to my self thinking of the mayhem that will be caused when a motor is hooked up to this thing.

Still have it!

I'm just wondering why two roller coasters in the same year?  Maybe a little overkill.  It will hurt sales of both IMO.

I think of it the same as the Creator 3-in-1s and the Modulars.  I doubt each hurts the sales of the others.  Some people can shell out $250 for a modular.  Others can only shell our $40 for a smaller building.  Same with this.

Still undecided about investment potential, but this is one of the best Creator sets I've ever seen - might need 3 to make all of the alternate builds.

I stopped by the Lego store today to get the Incredibles Brickheadz and talked a little about this with the associate I am familiar with. She says that literally every week she has people asking for Pirate themed sets. Nostalgia + RollerCoaster elements will make for a really popular set.

Whats there not to like.. ??

Speed build:

 

I like the water splash detail.

 

Here's also an interesting review of the entire LEGO Pirates Rollercoaster set, including the alternative builds:

31034 3 in one sets have been doing very well for me considering I picked them up on a local store 3 for 2  a few years back at the princely sum of £36 for three, and really do see this set 

the Roller coaster doing quite well if you go for a longish hold.
