I found this strange too.

Hard agree with this with the exception of a few sets. I loved the fantasy era skeleton boat attack on the harbour. but mill village was the best return.

Yep, you were 100% right. I love seeing these “virtuous” companies jacking up the price of sets to gouge the customers while changing the name to appease imaginary offended people. Bravo lego.

I still have my version of this on my display shelf and I love it a lot more than the offical one, so make of that what you will. Seems like the early leak was right about it just being a pure display piece. How disappointing.

For films that include the hanging of a child this is a ridiculous and arbitrary hill to die on.

Not really because Hollywood can’t do anything new they are simply putting, “interchangeable pirate A onto famous ship black pearl? You remember the black pearl? That’s everyone’s favorite!”. It’s a dumb technique that modern Hollywood seems to love, as in putting new crew on star ships, or fedoras on others, completely missing the entire point of what made them good, but I’m getting off topic. Haha your never, ever seeing that name on a ship or even printed into the little book it’s coming with.

The new movie is apparently based on the all female script Disney worked about 6 years ago. Ayo EdebirI is apparently the lead actress and if Depp appears (which he said they would have to pay him 20 mil and an apology) it will likely only be a cameo.

I’m not sure Disney want new movies to be associated with Johnny Depp, hence this being captain sparrows pirate ship. I think there is a much more important meaning to this name change.

I’m lucky I don’t army build. That said releasing new factions only in the gum ball machine is a predatory tactic when they could sell minifigure packs with a few torsos heads and accessories.

Honestly the figs are the best iv seen in years, esp the snake knight. Everything else is awful, it’s not even comparable to the last creator castle.

So hogsmead full leaks and I’m supposed to believe that someone with the box that leaked earlier shots hasn’t leaked the rest? Pretty lame viral market research TLG.

Hard agree. Figs 10/10 build 2/10 parts 2/10 14/30 is a failing grade.

Actually a very good point.

Fully exposed studs up plates at the top of sails is unacceptable at that price point

The top of the sails on the aft picture has the top beams brick built, which is rather ugly too.
