    Fun for little pirates

    Written by (TFOL , gold-rated reviewer) in United States,

    This is a great set for a little pirate like I used to be. I thought I could be one but this set made me think I was. It is a great set with some cool parts. It is also cool for black beard for the money. It is not all that true to the film but is still pretty neat. I would recommend this set to any Lego fans and people who used to pretend to be a pirate.

    Barbossa has a peg-leg!

    Written by (KFOL) in United States,

    Not much intro for this review,only that it is the sequel of my Isla de Muerta review.

    Jack Sparrow: Not too big of a deal, as he comes in all of the Pirates of the Caribbean sets.

    Hector Barbossa: Hector in his privateer outfit. He is holding a gold chalice and a map.

    Blackbeard: Has a lot of new pieces including his beard, his hat, and his sword.

    Skeleton: How many sets come with him? Only 1,000,000.

    Waterfall:Good, except the "waterfall" piece isn't even a piece! It is a CURTAIN held up by hooks!

    Fountain of Youth: The Fountain is awesome! Has the rare blue flame piece(Water in this case) and a new piece of water spraying at the top.

    If you like this review, I will make a Cannibal Escape review soon!

    Fountain of Youth keeps me young

    Written by (AFOL , gold-rated reviewer) in United States,

    My second review for the PotC sets and i just build this set a couple of minutes back. This set is fantastic, a great addition to the Captain Cabin's I just reviewed. There was a couple of disappointment at this set, dont get me wrong I do love this set very much.

    First off, when i open it disappointment struck as there was no backing board for the instruction so my intruction was bent as well as the free poster. Price is according but would be better if it was a little lower, if not an additional minifigure is added and it would be great.

    I love this set, the fountain was amazing, enginously concieved as well as the water falls. I also love the color combination and the pillars on the water falls. Minifigures are fantastic, ofcourse Jack Sparrow is a given, Barbosa is alright but Brick Beard I mean Black Beard is a Winner. I do love the beard and the new pirate hat he has, his sword is also great and not the usual gray sword. The sword holder still amazes me, would have been nice if theres and extra one in the box. The plastic water fall is fantastic as well, reminds me of the freezer curtain that are used in the kitchen. All in all i love this set, I guess im at the point where I might love all the PotC sets. This is a good buy if you are thinking of buying it.

    Aqua De Vida

    Written by (TFOL , bronze-rated reviewer) in Australia,

    Picked this set up today at Target for $39 AUS. Should have bought it when Target had their big sale, but at least I get 20/20 for retrospect. Anyhoo.

    MINIFIGS

    Well, Captain Jack Sparrow is the minifigure we all know and love. He's got his trademark mop of hair, which is nicely detailed and the norm in half of the POTC sets, and his characteristic smirk that can change into terror when you flip it around. At the rate of Jacks in sets at the moment, you'll soon have a Jack face for every occasion.
    The draw in this set, perhaps the only draw, is the other two minifigs - Blackbeard and Privateer Barbossa. The former is only available in two sets - this and The Queen Anne's Revenge, and if you don't want to break the bank, 4192 is the way to go. Blackbeard is new everything - new face, new hat, new torso, even a NEW weapon. The hat is Davy Jones' with a colour swap and a metal band printing on the crown and looks rather smashing if I may say so. The torso is all black and buckles, double printed and very much like the movie. The face, whilst not exactly like Ian McShane's, does convey the "badass pirate" rather well. The beard is included with fuses, which looks a little goofy, but there are a variety of black dwarf beards from the '07 Castle range that can fill in if you so desire. The Sword of Triton is big and bulky, but made of flexible rubber. Mine bent in the box, which is always a pain.
    Privateer Barbossa is a nice inclusion as well. The face is the same as Isla De Muerta, but he gets a snazzy new torso and hat to reflect his new station. The peg leg is nice, and all the parts on the minifig might be of use to people who like MOCing the British Navy.
    All in all, for the three minifigs and a skeleton, I give 4 out of 5.

    SET

    Well, there's not much really to say here - it's a fountain (of course) and an entranceway. The design is simple, the construction is too, but the colours - dark green, translucent blue, sand - are all rather rare, and good pieces to have in the bits box. And enough reviews have lambasted the "Shower Curtain of Youth", so I'll not add to it. 3/5

    BITS
    There's plenty of cutlasses, and everyone loves cutlasses, right? I certainly do. You get two sheaths for usage (although only minifig in the set can use a sheath), Sao Feng's map from At World's End and two of Jack's magic compass, as well as a spare assortment of 1x1 angle bricks and the sort. Very nice. 5/5

    GIMMICKS

    Thankfully none, if you discount the Shower Curtain.

    All in all, it's average. Spectacularly average. However nice the minifigs may be, they're not worth the price, so pick the set up on sale in future, or buy them on Bricklink. TOTAL - 12/15, and that's generous.
