I am so happy that this beautiful ship became Bricklink set but I believe it should also be available more permanently from Lego because it looks better than 99% of all 18+ sets currently sold by Lego. If it was available on store shelves many people would buy it. It got even better with the updated minifigs which shows how much BDP relies on what other sets are available at the moment.

Let's see how well quickly it sells during Crowdfunding...

A common complaint is the price, so even if it were on shelves, and people wanted it, how many would actually make a purchase?

I believe it would be a bit cheaper if it was mass produced.

Fortuna's set number is 910059 by the way, would be nice to have this added to the title! 
 

With the piece count limit in place and people constantly complaining about prices & value it was extremely challenging to keep the entire model within range of 4000 pieces without losing detail. 

My insistence on increasing the Minifigure count and giving them more weapons, utensils and stowage for that made it even harder.
I am incredibly happy with the result; you're definitely getting as much as I possibly could squeeze into the model.

There's only space for one large pirate-themed ship in the LEGO portfolio and it's already taken by the new Black Pearl. I am incredibly grateful that Fortuna could still get made through BDP! 

The 10365 Black Pearl (Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship) has 1225 less pieces / 8 fewer Minifigures and costs the same as Fortuna; in the US it's actually $30 more.

Nevertheless, the Black Pearl sold out in multiple countries repeatedly, and is currently still out of stock here in Australia. Of course, it's a licensed set which drives up both the price and demand. 
But it's also hardly a perfect set, the shape of the cloth sails and the masts were widely criticised.

I used that opportunity to design improved versions for both (still need to finish, post & promote instructions; I have too much to do right now).

The price is lower than I expected, being comparable to the Pearl, but a much more attractive model. Eager to build this and add it to the fleet.

SEK 4,399.90, here in Sweden. RIP my bankaccount, but bankaccount has to live with that. I did count that the price would be somewhere around there.

10365 Black Pearl, is the same price in Sweden.

I wonder, what would be needed, if doing the bottom part of the ship + stand, as in, what is below waterline? Similar to what Black Pearl has. I hope you all understand what I mean, when my brain is too tired to put it into words properly.

Waterline / Full Hull+Stand.

Price here in Canada is $489.99. Its more expensive than the Pearl, but more parts and minifigs, so I accept the price. Absolutely no way I am going to miss out on this ship. If I had the cash, I would get 2, one for the red ciats, one for the blue coats. I like how there is three different flag options, and two different name options. Great job, can't wait til August when it is likely to arrive.

I agree, and I did look for that, but nowhere on the official BrickLink Designer webpage is that number mentioned.

Does anyone know how many stickers are in this set?

There are 24 stickers, 6 for each of the flags (6 redcoat, 6 bluecoat, 6 pirate), 2 for the bow pieces, 2 for the ship's name: 1 Fortuna, 1 Minerva. I don't see where the last 2 are

There's another 2 (optional) stickers to add a bit of detail to the galley: they go on a 2x4 tile and a 2x2 curved slope. They're not super visible, but I felt they some people might appreciate the extra detail. I took a photo of the sticker sheet at Brickvention 2026 in Melbourne:



You can only see them if you remove the 2 x 12 plate with the bell and look directly at the galley:

The 2 stickers on 4x4 Macaroni tiles at the bow are quite obvious, but I include another closeup because I just think they look amazing! 
My insistence on making the prow one stud wide was a challenge: I had to use the tiles for stability and couldn't add small elements for decoration.

I know some people dislike stickers in principle - you can of course leave them off as I did for months on my model. But I do think they look great!

Ah, so that's where they are! 
It looks like your image link is broken now, though...

My insistence on increasing the Minifigure count

Not only does Fortuna offer a generous minifigure count, but LEGO Pirate fans are also treated to a brand few faction.

So that leaves us wondering: who be these Unpredictable Privateers? 

Do they have any backstory?  Do any of the minifigs (like the Captain and his daughter) have names?

They appear to be wearing the same uniform as the new Camilla minifigure...

Is there any connection between Camilla and the Unpredictable Privateers?  Or be this merely a coincidence because that particular torso just happened to be available?

Fixed it and added some more background!

Oh, I love these torsos, especially with the dual moulded white and black legs!  
We also got to include three of the dual moulded tricorne hats with the wig or female hairpiece.  

 

I don't want to impose any sort of lore on the community, I think it should develop organically. But here's some ideas:

My thinking is that the Privateers are essentially unreliable Redcoats - the 2010 Imperial Flagship was Redcoat and Privateer Frigate Fortuna is the spiritual successor.
So they'd be funded and supported by the Redcoats who are overstretched by dealing with all of these Pirates! They fly a false Bluecoat flag, as Privateers often do, and may even be on the hunt for them.
But alas, peace breaks out between Redcoats and Bluecoats! The legendary Eldorado Fortress hosts some magnificent treasures, and the Privateers cannot resist the temptation! With their vastly more powerful frigate, they attack and plunder it.
Thereby the Privateers go rogue and the Pirate hunters become Pirates themselves! 

Afterwards, the Privateers make off and spend all of their stolen riches in Tortuga! 

However, there may be an offer for them to be pardoned for their transgression - they plundered Bluecoats, not Redcoats after all - if they turn on the Thieves of Tortuga, thereby bringing an end to this Pirate haven...

Nice story! And Camilla? If she isn't the captain she could be a spy aboard the Fortuna, conspiring with bo'sun Will to ensure that captain Redbeard, with the Barracuda, gets all the gold in the end!  I like the idea.

I wholeheartedly agree, I think the original catalogues did it best.  They seeded some key details and then it was up to the builder to just imagine the rest.

But with exception of the Imperial Armada, the catalogues did name every faction leader and a couple of the key minifigures.

So is there a name for the captain of the Unpredictable Privateers?

What if Camilla was also the privateers highest ranking officer, like a Commodore (Admiral has already been done enough times), quietly orchestrating the privateers motivations behind the scenes. 

That could explain why the latest Camilla minifigure has the same uniform, but is not included with Fortuna.

And Bo'sun Will? Is story was allways entangled with Camilla and is latest minifg also has the same clothes as the crew.

The same as it's always been.  A forbidden romance to be hidden from both pirates and imperials, for if their love was discovered, imagine the strife it would cause!
