LEGO Pirates Of The Caribbean Black Pearl: The Best Pirates Of The Caribbean Lego Set
When the very first wave of POTC sets came out in Might there was a gaping hole in the collection. Whilst the Queen Anne’s Revenge was a pretty cool ship, where was the Black Pearl, Captain Jack Sparrow’s beloved ship?! Nicely that gaping hole has lastly been filled with the arrival of 4184 The Lego Black Pearl. I took some time last weekend to build the Pearl with my ten year old son Connor. This evaluation is from two perspectives: The jaded, overly vital analysis of a long time LEGO enthusiast, and mine.
As we started creating we noticed something unusual. Only one minifig within the initial bag. In our house it’s a lengthy standing tradition that everybody but dad builds the minifigures, even my wife gets into it. Usually I’m a couple of pages into the instructions before they’re all built. As we continued to construct we found there was a single minifig in every of the six bags. Not truly great or poor, just unusual. Connor was impressed in the stage exactly where we had to flip over the hull to put the 2×2 round boat bottoms on that the hull laid flat on the table.
I was more impressed using the clever reinforcement of the masts and the connection of the jib boom. The last ship I built was 6243 Brickbeard’s Bounty and also the rigging on that was always wonky. The LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Black Pearl has pretty sturdy rigging overall. I was pleased to determine that the cannons fire. I’m old sufficient to have witnessed the declawing of the toy business. When I was a kid the toys were properly dangerous, from the scolding hot Thingmaker to the launching missiles of the Colonial Viper. Then issues changed and toys got “safe”, fingers weren’t burned, cannons stopped firing and children had been sad. Because of this I’m always just a little surprised and pleased when a toy will really fire a projectile. So Connor and I spent just a little time playing using the two cannons and shooting 1×1 round bricks around the kitchen. By the way, that was not a typo, I did say two. In spite of the reality that you will find six gun ports on the Black Pearl there are only two cannons included. I have to say the box art is a small deceptive as well, featuring each cannons on one side of the ship, leaving their starboard side completely defenseless. The figurehead is a nice touch, with her small black wings.
All the figures are quite nice, and it is a great amount for a set and ship of this size. I do not know if the figures alone would prompt anyone to purchase the set, but the hardcore pirate fans out there just might.
Jack Sparrow. This figure was an instant classic from the moment it first appeared in prototype form at Comic Con in 2010. If I’m not mistaken this is a version of Jack we haven’t noticed before with a combination of a printed overcoat and no hat. He has double sided printing on his torso, front printing on his legs and printing on his hat. As with all the other sets he comes with his compass (plus an extra one).
