lego pirates of the caribbean custom characters

When I first heard that LEGO was going to make sets based on these movies, my first reaction was what was the ghost ship going to look like, and secondly, would we get all the characters? It was no surprise when it was released in 1989, it was a smash hit. It was even re-released in 2002 under a different set number, 10040, for those that missed it the first time around. But this tale is not about the LEGO Pirates theme, it’s about how far LEGO has gone with it. I’m speaking of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean. In fact, the whole Pirates theme was based around this ship. It was every kid’s dream to own a set like this, and LEGO, for once, delivered. It was an adventure in a box waiting to happen.

Yes, it was a pirate ship! But to say this was merely just a pirate ship would be wrong.

Back in the early days, one of the first minifigures ever made was that of a pirate and it’s no surprise the first largest set that was ever released, was none other than Black Seas Barracuda, set no. LEGO has always had a thing for pirates, and I say this in the nicest possible way.
