LEGO’s Black Pearl Buzzes Across Fan Communities on August 28, 2025

Paris, August 28, 2025 - Today the LEGO fan press continued its enthusiastic coverage of the forthcoming LEGO Icons set centered on Captain Jack Sparrow’s infamous ghost galleon-the Black Pearl.

In a detailed feature published at midnight, Gamereactor highlighted the set’s massive scale and interactive elements. Composed of 2,862 pieces, the model spans 64 cm in length and height, recreating the ship’s ominous silhouette complete with torn black sails and an adjustable rudder mechanism. Hidden gear-driven levers deploy the port and starboard cannons, while removable deck panels grant access to the richly furnished captain’s quarters.

Priced at €349.99, the set’s launch on September 15 targets adult collectors and Pirates of the Caribbean enthusiasts alike. Gamereactor noted that despite the omission of the “Black Pearl” name on the box-opting instead for the more SEO-friendly “Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship”-the fan response remains overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the design fidelity and interactive features.

Social media channels lit up overnight as builders shared early unboxing and review videos, speculating on future pirate-themed releases such as the Flying Dutchman or Silent Mary. With LEGO Insiders early access already underway, the wider market can expect shelves to fill by mid-September, at which point the true measure of this set’s appeal will emerge.
