$299.99 would've been fine.....$379.99 is ridiculous

Curious, why did LEGO not call this the Black Pearl ???

I’m still eligible . Most of the time it is just temporary

It’s crazy but there is zero mention of The Black Pearl in the manual, except in the use of movie’s name. That’s it. It does look like LEGO/Disney went to great lengths to avoid calling it The Black Pearl. When I spoke to the lead designer Mike Psiaki, he dodged the question, stating that it was an internal LEGO/Disney decision on why to name the set as such, which is frustrating for anyone looking for answers. I’m not entirely convinced that it was Disney’s decision to block the use of The Black Pearl, as they’ve licensed products out like bags to Loungefly (another Disney IP partner), who have a recent bag called The Black Pearl, so who knows what the real story is. ETA: Mike P is the designer of Rivendell, Lion Knights Castle, Titanic and more.
