According to the analytics collected from the Classic Pirates blog and social media, a LEGO Icons Black Pearl is likely to sell phenomenally well.

I think it might make no difffernece  whether it’s Disney or Icons set, that ship would be sold well anyways.. However, i think it makes more sense for Icon theme sine it aims for adults rather than youths.

Time will tell.

Be interesting to see how well the analytics relate to the sales performance.

Assuming there is any truth to the rumour.

I don’t need it to be minifigure scale. I just want it to be minifigure compatible. And to have at least 2 main decks.

[BrickBob Studpants]

According to Maxbautde, the set has roughly 2800 pieces with the following minifigs: Jack, Gibbs, Will, Elisabeth, Anamaria, Cotton, and Marty.

Don‘t get me wrong, the last three are cool and all, but I‘d swap them for Barbossa, Pintel, and Ragetti without hesitation

I 120% agree with that statement. Though I will be happy to have another version of Elizabeth.

Where did Maxbautde post that?

I tried searching for "maxbautde" and all that came up was a Jurassic Park Rebirth rumour on Instagram.

Found it!

What's the difference between minifigure scale and minifigure compatible?

That's the exact number of pieces from the Black Pearl moc from MOCYourBricks.

I have that one. I wonder how it compares and what ship will look better.

The Black Pearl from MOCYourBricks is allready perfect and accurate. I don't think it can't be better. It also has 18 working canons. 

I doubt Lego will include 18 working canons. They are too greedy to do that. Imperial flagship from 2010 has only 4 canons and Black Seas Barracuda has only 3 cannons 

[_R_R_]

I won't lie, the minifigure selection is a tad disappointing, no Pintel & Ragetti, really?  Perhaps they are saving them for another set, Isla de Muerta perhaps or HMS Dauntless since it seems the Pearl is based off the first film. Whatever they do I just hope no important minifigures are exclusive to a GWP!

[DonQuixote]

 

That's the one I bought. 2800+pieces and 18 working canons. Is Lego to be aible to match this beauty?

The minifigs make sense to me since those are the characters that originally set sail with Jack.  Pintel & Ragetti were part of Barbossa's cursed crew.

May be bias but I believe MaroonedMarin's model is a better pearl and more "Lego like". Only buying this new set because it's POTC and I love pirates. Marin's is perfect!

A bit unexperienced with linking images on eurobricks. I have provided a link. When I was choosing between which model to build for the black pearl, MaroonedMarin's design felt and looked like a lego build but at the same time not too model-looking if that makes sense. It had the best of both worlds. But that is personal preference of course. I attached a link, some of the fan images attached on there are mine.

The model is absolutely beautiful, though the decks are too low for minifigures. Minifigure compatibility seems to be a common problem if one wishes to also achieve an accurate exterior design.

 

Regarding the rumour: if the leaked piece count is the same as for the MOCYourBricks model, how true can it be? Perhaps it be a mere coincidence?

Hmm. I prefer MOCYourBricks. This one looks to blocky at the rear and not as smoot. And the ship seems a bit short. But that's my opinion.

Hopefully the Lego version will satisfy us both! Weak minifigure selection though. As long as a dutchman comes afterwards...

Yep, it looks like the set is gonna be based on the tail end of The Curse of the Black Pearl, so the minifig selection makes sense if that's the case. Now I wonder if we'd get the version of Will in his fancy hat then 

[CloneCommando99]

Damn. That fig selection would be better suited for the Interceptor than the Black Pearl.

 

Hopefully there’s a Dutchman next year. Then Queen Anne’s revenge after that.

[cehnot]

Maybe they are planning a CMF, GWP, or second set since the minifig list is smaller. I could see them do a cortez gold mound with some of the other pirate minifigures. This could be a GWP with Barbossa. A small row boat with Pintel and Ragetti would also work. These would be perfect secondary items that would fit well with the theme.

I want to believe that a Dutchman is next. What makes me wonder, where are we getting Barbossa and his gang? Maybe the leak doesn't cover everyone? Seems really odd since I doubt we are getting playscale sets.

Was anyone else mentioned? Seems slightly odd...

[Aramar]

Do you think Cotton's parrot would be included?

Yes. They'll throw in the one from Barracuda bay and eldorado. Surely.

This is why I’m holding out hope that the figure list is incomplete. The majority of the suggestions that I see for future sets are other ships: the Dutchman, Queen Anne’s Revenge, etc. Barbossa doesn’t fit into any of them, and the Pearl is the main ship that he’s associated with. He even has it for most of the first movie! He’s also, from what I can tell, one of the three most popular PotC characters, so it doesn’t make sense not to include him with his ship, especially when there aren’t many options to naturally include him afterwards.

Agreed. I am pretty sure Barbossa is at the helm more often than Jack. I don't see him being put in a GWP, that would be a horrendous choice and he already has a design from fortnite. I also thought, what if they have a PoTC book/film nook like for LoTR and HP? I know PoTC doesn't have any books anywhere near the level of the other two but Barbossa HAS to appear somewhere. He is one of the few characters to be in every single film and he is a major pillar of the franchise. So the current options are

 

1. Figure list is incomplete

2. GWP (incredibly poor decision making)

3. Play scale sets? Highly doubt it but maybe? Maybe a film nook of Isla de la Muerta?

4. He's in another ship set which wouldn't make any sense.

5. He isn't being made. Beyond stupid.

Like you mentioned he doesn't fit the Duthcman (never steps foot on it), in OST he is working for the british and never steps foot on the QAR on screen (would be stupid if he only get this version). And that's only IF we get a QAR. That would mean we get lucky enough to get a flying dutchman which is my most wanted set of the past decade. This also makes me worried about getting a pintel and ragetti. If we aren't getting Barbossa we ain't getting them. Either way something is off. Sorry for the ramble, but I am very excited to say the least.

Yes , you are right.

Barbossa is too important and too cool.

He  is actually the real pirate captain.

To quote Barbossa : 'What arrrre yeah doing?

Yes Lego company, what are you doing?
