Ahoy there, me hearties! We’re diving cutlass-first into the majestic and moody waters of JMBricklayer’s brand-new Black Pearl set — and let me tell ye, this one’s a treasure worthy of any display shelf or pirate lair.
🧱 What’s in the Box?
Like any good plundered haul, the box comes packed solid. You get a glorious 1713 pieces (aye, I counted), bundled into numbered bags for smooth sailing. Alongside the bricks, there’s a bag of sails and rigging ropes, a nicely printed instruction manual, and — wait for it — a built-in light kit! Yep, this ship lights up like a ghostly galleon on a moonless night.
JMBricklayer even tossed in a unique brick separator. No clue what it has to do with pirates, but it’s a fun, quirky tool to toss in your treasure chest.
⚒️ The Build Experience
From bow to stern, this build was a proper pleasure cruise. The brick quality is great — they connect securely (maybe with a touch more muscle than the big-name brand), but the result is rock-solid.
The light kit is easy to install as you go. Most wires are cleverly routed under the ship, keeping things sleek. The only exposed part is underneath the stern, where the connector strip lives — but it’s subtle and well-placed.
And the mast design? Absolutely brilliant. It adds serious height and swagger to the ship — a real centerpiece once it’s all rigged up.
🦜 Hidden Treasures & Final Thoughts
This ship is stuffed with smart design and fun little details that’ll make you grin like Cranky the Parrot after a double shot of rum. There’s genuine joy in the building process — and when it’s all done, you’re left with a display piece that feels both epic and personal.
