Recommendation: meh 40 / 50 by Big Cam

For a mini set, it's good, but not as good as some mini's of the past. I'm a big Pirates of the Caribbean fan so this was a must have no matter what. For the average collector, you may want to pass it over, especially if bricklink prices go up.

When they say "mini" they absolutely mean it. This is a bag in the picture - a small plastic bag NOT a box - just so you know.

From Bricks To Bothans

by Ace Kim

It's a terrible model. It's obvious just by looking at the sails how inaccurate the model is. Adding a few more plates and clips and a longer bar for the center could have easily remedied the inadequate number of sails. The MINI model also has an inverted brown cone which I believe is supposed to represent a Crow's Nest which the Black Pearl doesn't even have. A 1×1 clip plate could have replaced it and represent the flag. And the bow of the ship? Hideous. I mean, who the heck is designing this thing and what are they basing it off of?
