LEGO® Icons 10365 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl Officially Unveiled!

Hey, BrickReturns crew—get ready to hoist the sails! LEGO® has officially dropped the anchor on the long-awaited 10365 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl ( Or as LEGO® has chosen to call it: Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship) announced today, August 26, 2025.After months of rumors swirling since December 2024, the LEGO® Icons team has confirmed this 18+ masterpiece, and the details are flooding in from the official LEGO® website and beyond. Let’s dive into what’s been revealed!

Official Announcement and Release Details

The big reveal hit the LEGO® Store page today, confirming 10365 as the iconic Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s set to launch on September 12, 2025, with early access for LEGO® Insiders starting the same day, aligning with the fall rollout fans anticipated. The set will be exclusive to LEGO.com and LEGO® Stores initially, with a product lifecycle expected to stretch to 2028. A special Gift With Purchase (GWP), 5009609 Jack Sparrow’s Compass, will be available from September 12–18, 2025, while supplies last.

Pricing and Availability

LEGO® has set the retail price at $379.99 USD, with €349.99 in Europe and £299.99 in the UK, slightly higher than the rumored $329.99 due to updated market adjustments. This 2,862-piece set (a tweak from the leaked 2,861) is aimed at adult collectors, and pre-orders are live on LEGO.com, with stock expected to move fast given the hype. IGN reported on August 26, 2025, that LEGO® Insiders can jump the queue, hinting at potential sell-outs.

Design and Features

The official images showcase a stunning build: a 64cm-high (25 inches) Black Pearl with a black hull crafted from curved and angled bricks, three masts with new cloth sails, and a detachable stand for display. The deck features working cannons via a rear gear mechanism, a steerable rudder, and removable sections revealing a captain’s cabin with furnishings and a cargo bay. A small longboat and detailed rigging add to the authenticity, paying homage to the first Pirates film.

Minifigure Lineup

The set includes eight minifigures, a step down from the rumored nine: Captain Jack Sparrow, Hector Barbossa, Elizabeth Swann, Will Turner, Joshamee Gibbs, Anamaria, Cotton, and Marty. Pintel was dropped, but the sand green figurehead at the bow adds a unique touch. All figures feature updated printing and accessories, exclusive to this set.

A Curiosity: Why “Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship”?

As you’ve likely noticed, the name isn’t “The Black Pearl” as many expected—instead, it’s officially “Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship.” This curious choice seems deliberate, with LEGO® likely spotlighting Johnny Depp’s iconic Jack Sparrow to pull in Pirates of the Caribbean fans. Rumors on X hinted that “Black Pearl” might’ve been a SEO goldmine, but LEGO®’s branding leans toward character-driven titles, much like 71044 Disney Train. In my view, this could amp up collectibility—Jack’s star power might outshine the ship’s legendary status—but it might ruffle purists who adore the vessel’s name.

Available from September 12–18, 2025, for LEGO® Insiders buying the set, this 151-piece build features a spinning dial and lanyard, echoing the film’s magic. Rumors of a broader “Captain’s Compass” floated around, but it seems to be a misnomer for this official GWP, with no extra variants confirmed.
