One of LEGO's most recent additions is the LEGO Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean. It has over 500 blocks, and includes six figurines from the story. Being completed, it stands almost two feet high and 21 inches long, which forms an impressive kit that can be fantastic for play or as a stand-alone display .
In addition to the regular LEGO sets, you'll find dark fabric sails, providing the set a whole caliber. The set comprises of three instruction booklets, and a large size poster .
The LEGO Black Pearl Pirates of the Caribbean set features:
- 804 pieces in total.
- Measures 21 inches long x 20 inches high x 5 inches wide.
- 6 figures including Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Joshamee Gibbs, Davy Jones, Maccus and Bootstrap Bill.
- Featuring a detailed interior cabin, firing canons, black fabric sails, Jolly Roger pirate flag and anchor.
- Ideal for ages 8-14.
This set is brilliant for the age group it is intended for. It's difficult enough to make it challenging (specifically for the ages closer to 8), however it isn't so complicated to make it mind-boggling for them. In my view an 8 year-old should be able to assemble it within a few hours, probably with help from an adult on a couple of areas, but overall they'll get a total thrill.
Upon completion, the model looks completely sensational, and there's lots that a child can do with it as much as play goes. Captain Jack's detailed cabin to explore, the shooting cannons and removable floorboards are just some of the options of the package.
The dark fabric sails really add design to the model, and really does a superb job of copying the atmosphere of the story. LEGO might have satisfied themselves with using just plastic, nonetheless the fabric does provide an excellent contrast. Even when not played with, it makes for a wonderful display piece.
Depending on where you go shopping, this LEGO set could cost somewhat expensive, and thus ought to be shopped around to find the best priceHowever, there are many places where the kit is sold for less than LEGO's recommended retail price, which is certainly great.
Aside from the odd set having missing pieces (which will be sent out to you by LEGO), there's little else to say that is actually unfavorable about the product. Most negative elements of this product are really minor and shouldn't affect your decision to buy it or not.
All in all, this set is very nice and encapsulates the essence of the Pirates series well. The included six characters are a fantastic bonus, as extra characters really help populate the deck and make the ship look busy. And in addition they provide much more play alternatives for children. It is both an enjoyable experience to build and very playable as well. We give this unit a definite thumbs up.
