“The epic detailed minifigures are just amazingly beautiful and exclusive to one another. The Jack Sparrow minifigure facial expression is unique from one set to another, and that brought a new selling point.”
FBTB
“Overall the set has decent value, several minifigs, and coins for people who like treasure. I wish that they would have found a way to put Will Turner into the set, perhaps by moving Elizabeth Swan. It would have made it feel a little more… complete. For a $20 set, it does... More okay. Worth it for some parts, maybe for some play, and certainly for some figures. But like most other sets in this series, you get action figures for your money and some bricks you’ll want to take apart.”
