The Black Pearl Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While The Black Pearl has been only slightly overperforming the average yearly growth of many sets Pirates of the Caribbean sets, with an average annual growth rate of 19%, this set is strong investment for many LEGO collectors.”

Beautiful Pirate Ship — “This is a great modern pirate ship. The ship feels large and is pretty functional although as usual, it gets a little cramped on decks with the sails in the way. There's a lot of playability here, but a row boat and a full contingent of cannons would be welcome.”

“The Good. Impressive overall design and faithful in spirit. Some great minifigures. Sturdy rigging. All the figures are quite nice, and it’s a good amount for a set and ship of this size. The figure assortment in this set is pretty good. Davy Jones is an awesome figure. The... More Black Pearl has pretty sturdy rigging overall. I was pleased to see that the cannons fire.”
