It's less like a cabin and more like a Captain's Bench, isn't it?
I pretty much got this one for the globe and the ships-in-bottles. Captain Jack's compass is a nice printed piece, too.
Cabin? This is supposed to take place on a ship, is it not? This is the Captain's Quarters. Landlubbers trying to name things, I tell ye what, they ain't nothing but yellabellied fools who have no business in the affairs of the sea. A wrong move or misplaced title could have ye keelhauled of the deck, lost to the deep, and find permanent residence in Davy Jones' Locker...
Got two of these back in the day. Stacked the shelves on top of each other for a giant cabinet!
I was always curious, could you actually fit this set inside of pirate ship that came out for Blackbeard that year? I seem to remember that being a part of the marketing, but I've never seen an image of it and feel like I'm being Mandela-ed
Some awesome prints in this set!
My only set from the POTC theme. LOL. It does have great parts and prints, too!

I remember the same thing.
There was a bin of used LEGO. I found the torsos of the two pirates, the bottle, the globe, and all of Captain Jack Sparrow's parts except for his head!

To me there seems to be no way it would fit into 4195.
I actually have this one! I always thought the globe was awesome.
Bad set, fantastic parts pack.

As an owner of 4195, this set absolutely does not fit inside, however that set includes the same globe and both pirate minifigures (although Jack is the hat variant). I can definitely see some overlap in product shots.
This is very similar to the situation with 10237 and 79005, with part of a larger set almost exactly reproduced as a stand-alone with a few key figures.
This set had two different sized boxes. I at one time had one of each size, sealed. I think I opened one, and sold the other.
Funny how you guys were bringing up the printed parts, especially the globe - my first thought when I saw this was "well, there's a cool looking globe in that one . . . " I'm pretty much indifferent about the rest of it.
LOVE this little set. Still have it, and for so little, has good looking figs and overall nice look with the browns and gold. Looks good on display for a small set.
@GSR_MataNui:
I think I got at least four of these. I’ve got a minifig crouching on the “planet” from 75008, with the globe on his head. It’s an imperfect representation of Atlas by any stretch of the imagination, but it gets a few chuckles at shows regardless.

Also, it has two ethnic zombies for zombie apocalypse mocs
@kyrodes:
Yup, added those to my hunger of zombies (it fills a quart bag near to bursting).
Probably the only POC set I could afford on the aftermarket… great prints though.
Great theme!
Got the cabin, but not the 4195 Queen Anna's revenge.

I loved the first movie, other were meh... So I thought I should have a set with Captain Sparrow. This one was the smallest I can get. Figures aside I also wanted to decorate the cabin of the Red Seas Barracuda that I have. The globe would do just fine. It has been over a decade and I haven't started on that project yet.
Hey! My only set from this theme - cool!
1st of the few POTC sets I have... was a cheap way to get Jack, and it had some nice, interesting, printed parts.
Around the time this came out, I liked to MOC / copy movie scenes and posters... when I saw the globe in this set, I just needed to have it in order to do the globe scene from Chaplin's "Great Dictator".. :)

I feel like the more classical-type zombies from the film don’t mesh well with the modern “shrieking and slurping” ones but they’d work sufficiently if I needed many at once. The Yeoman Zombie is probably the one I’d get more mileage out of since I can’t imagine a zombie having an eyepatch tbh.

The Captain’s Shelving Unit. Straight from Aye-AyeKEA
I got this set to furnish my Prince of Persia palace.
@Trigger_: Presumably, he needed the eyepatch before he was zombified, and afterwards, couldn't be bothered to take it off, what with being a zombie and all.
I learned about this set a couples of months ago and I thought 'what an amazing service pack this is' - the printed globe, printed mpa, printed bottles, printed compass and very cool figs. I would get multiple copies of this if I was into Lego when it was released.
Ah, the set that brought me out of my dark ages.
Went to Legoland for the first time with my son and looking around the shop at the end was stunned how expensive Lego was (yes, the irony is not lost on me given the situation now) so this was one of the few sets I was prepared to buy.
Fast forward six years and I was building the Millennium Falcon!
I remember when this came out. At the time I thought it was waaay too expensive for what you get. It didn't help that I had no interest in the zombies and already planned on getting Jack from the Isla de la Muerta set. I still wouldn't want to get it. I mean, the subject matter is a bizarre choice and it's also already in the bigger ship set. And it's not even accurate to the film either... (there it was an actual cabinet).
I'm not a parts guy, so maybe that's it.
Oh, and the box was tiny.
One of my first sets are my enforced Dark Age, the period where my parents forbade me from getting any new LEGO. Love the globe in this, and the ship bottles!
I really wish they didn’t retire that sword holster piece.
@Trigger_:
Two main characters on The Walking Dead ended up with eyepatches that I can think of. One of them ended up a zombified head, I believe. I’ve picked up pretty much every official zombie minifig I could get my hands on, including the CMF zombie pirate. I don’t think anyone would assume he got the peg leg, hook hand, and eyepatch after becoming a zombie. Well, they might not even notice those, considering he’s crawling out of the mouth of a zombie shark…
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villains and knaves.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads,
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
My first PotC set, was sad to find out it does not fit in Queen Anne's Revenge.
