The new LEGO Icons set brings Captain Jack Sparrow’s legendary pirate ship to life with 2,862 intricately designed pieces. Inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean films, the model features rotating dials that fire cannons, a functional wheel that steers the rudder, and an opening deck revealing the captain’s quarters, complete with maps, treasure, and a hidden apple detail. The hull splits cleanly at the waterline, allowing builders to display the ship in docked mode or set it up for open-sea adventures. Eight detailed minifigures, including Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Captain Barbossa, enhance the storytelling experience and bring the cinematic world into brick form.
Launching September 15, 2025, the set offers early access for LEGO Insiders on September 12. Standing about 64 centimeters long, the model blends authentic movie-inspired design with engineering precision, making it a striking centerpiece for collectors and fans of the franchise alike.
