Granted, a lot of it does take place on the water, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t set ideas there. Since At World’s End is my favorite of the five movies, it kind of blows that there’s no LEGO representation of it outside of the video game.
LEGO PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN BRETHREN COURT MOVIE
So far, LEGO has released Pirates of the Caribbean sets for every movie in the franchise except for the third installment: At World’s End. Hopefully, with the new ideas of the 6th movie, LEGO will have enough new content to create a whole wave, not just a single set. The POTC movies are full of action set pieces and adventurous locales, perfect for LEGO sets.
Much like they did with Dead Men Tell No Tales, they could release new POTC sets alongside this new release. While we don’t know much about what Pirates of the Caribbean 6 will be like or when it will come out, we do know that a 6th movie in the franchise will be coming at one point. So, without further preamble, here is my reasoning for why LEGO should bring back POTC. And while LEGO did release one set in 2017 to match the release of Dead Men Tell No Tales, I don’t count that as a revival. This is why I propose that LEGO should bring back the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. I have been able to acquire some of the minifigures res, but getting sets that were discontinued almost a decade ago, while obtainable, comes with a hefty price tag, especially if one wants the Queen Anne’s Revenge (A used and complete one goes for around $300 on Bricklink at the moment). That being said, I was only ever able to get my hands on the Black Pearl set while the theme was in stores. Sure, it was no juggernaut of a theme like Star Wars or Marvel, but I still think it was a great line. As such, the LEGO POTC theme from 2011 was one of LEGO’s best lines based on an IP. One of my favourite film franchises of all time is Pirates of the Caribbean, with the first three movies being one of my favourite trilogies.
