I noticed nobody was discussing the news Maxbaut talked about in his podcast, probably because it’s in German, so I thought I’d write it down. I listened to this ~a week ago, so I might be forgetting some things. Feel free to listen yourself.

-Black pearl: ~2800 pieces, based on the first movies, minifigures are Jack, Gibbs, Will, Elisabeth, Anamaria, Cotton, Marty

-One piece: the 18+ set is the Baratie and the $100+ set is the Going Merry

-Star Wars: the $1000 death star will have ~40 minifigures, you can expect obscure ones like the emperors advisors and specific officers.

-Star trek: Enterprise is ~60cm, has stickers and the big dish can be removed apparently

Avast ye! Let it be known that the aforementioned details be unconfirmed by The LEGO Group, and thus may evolve… or vanish in the blink of an eye!

So swallow them with more grains of salt than yer’ll find in a mermaid’s tear!

The Rumour

During December 2024 the AFOL community was abuzz with claims that a new, LEGO® Icons version of the Black Pearl, from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was scheduled for release during 2025.

The word first sprung in a handful of 4chan posts before spreading faster than the plague to social media.

Yer may have seen the following social media tiles:

If true, this new information quashes speculation that the set will be 10335 Endurance-scale.

For t’would be blinkin’ daft to include seven minfigs if they couldn’t comfortably fit on deck!

Bigger than the 10210 Imperial Flagship by more than 1,000 pieces!

And 2,800 pieces would surpass the record held by 10210 Imperial Flagship at 1,664 pieces – Admiral Woodhouse will be furious!
