Yesterday was the officially reveal of the LEGO Icons Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship (10365) and one of the main questions about it was why is it not named the Black Pearl. Obviously it was the name given in the movies and even the first movie of the franchise was called Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl but why did LEGO not go with that name?
Commenting as a response to a question on Instagram, LEGO gave a very brief and corporate response:
The name reflects an internal creative decision by the LEGO Group and The Walt Disney Company.
The answer doesn’t really give an actual explanation of why the set isn’t named the Black Pearl but raises more questions. Does the words “Black Pearl” have some bad meaning to it? I belive this is more on the Disney side of things similar to what happened with the LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett’s Starship (75312) back in 2021.
So there you go, there’s an official response that we can go off of to why the Black Pearl is just called Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship (10365). It’s not much but in our hearts, we know that the ship will always be the Black Pearl. It will be available starting on September 12 for $379.99 and you can also get Captain Jack Sparrow’s Compass (5009609) as a gift with purchase.
