Box/instructions

The box has some good box art on it and the instructions look good as well. It also comes with a cool poster that shows the bone cage dangling of the tree and Jack Sparrow fighting some tribals.

Minifigures

The minifigures are really good. You get two unique cannibals, Captain Jack Sparrow and Will turner. Jack sparrow has a unique head featuring tribal face painting on it but other than that he is the same as some of the other Jack Sparrows. Will Turner is the a very nice minifigure and has a cool hair piece, sword sheath and double sided printing. The Cannibals are unique and have very good printing such as the skull and teeth motifs and look really good.

Parts

The parts look good and there are some interisting ones such as the printed 2x4 flat tile, the parrot, the rum bottle, the bone pieces and the foilage.

The build

The build is interesting and doesn't get boring. It is not difficult but doesn't get tedious either and there are no complicated steps.

The completed model

Looks really good. It has a nice combination of brown, green and tan colours that blend really well. The bone cage looks really cool and the throne and roasting spit are good additions to the set from the movie that work well and go with the set. It is realistic to the movie and has some nice feaures.

Summary

I highly recommend this set to POTC fans. It is realistic to the movie and has good play features. For everything it has to offer it is easily worth the money and you will not be dissapointed with this set.

Box/Instructions

…All of the PotC sets are boxed with the instructions in the package with the cardboard - Love the idea. The poster, as always, is a nice addition.

Parts

…Some nice parts here, but nothing rare. Skulls, bones, plants.

Minifigures

…Love the cannibal minifigs!! You get a nice Will Turner - he's not in many of these sets. And you get a Jack Sparrow with face paint. Nice minifigs in this set.

The build

…The build was pretty ordinary. It has some neat aspects like the throne. It just looks really nice when it is put together. The cage that Will sits in is cool, but even more cool when you realize it is hanging from the tree by two chains!! This was my favorite part of the set!

The completed model

…This whole set is really neat! Three distinct playable builds - very rare to have all three components that have value, and not just thrown in to up the price.

Summary

…This is a great playable set. I won't be playing with it, but the minifigs are above average - mainly because of the cannibals and the painted Sparrow face. Buy the set, its a fun experience!

if you want good pieces and minifigs for $30, get this set. This is my favorite Lego set under $50 in 2011, it has three exclusive minifigs and two exclusive Lego parts!

Square bone cage

This set is the best cheap POTC set out there. but what their should be is the dwarf pirate, round bone cage, one more cannible, another (round) bone cage, fruite, and a differant spickit that holds jack so it coul come off. This is set to get if you want a good cheap POTC get this set! you could deffinetly remake this scene because it has eveything even the peprika Jack uses for seasoning when he's cooked!

This set is among those in the first wave of Pirates of the Caribbean. This is my first ever Pirates of the Caribbean set. Be warned: I haven't seen the movies or gone on the ride in Disney (I was there a few weeks ago, I wish I could've gone!) or had any experience with Pirates of the Caribbean. The sets looked so cool with lots of unique characteristics, I had to be sure to get a set. This set is worth it and affordable.

There are many different features in this set. There are:

• 4 Great Minifigures
• 2 Snakes
• A Revolving Fire Spit
• A Throne Chair
• Cannibal Hut which attaches to the-
• Bone Cage

With so many different parts, this set stands out and I would highly recommend it. Here's why, starting with the Minifigures.

Minifigures

Jack Sparrow: Of all the Jack Sparrow Minifigures out there (yet I only own this one), this is the most comical. He comes with a compass: A dark blue 1x1 tile with gold printing on to represent a compass. You actually get two, one for the set, another as an extra piece. Jack gets brown legs with some printing on it: tatters and what looks like some bits of red and white cloth that continues on his torso. The torso has a belt over a blue vest/jacket. Underneath you see some of his chest. His arms are white while his hands are skin-color. He gets some backprinting: just more of the belt and this strap that is also on the front. His face is the funny part. He is double-sided, and has him on both sides a small beard and mustache with large eyes. He has six painted eyes on his face, three per side. One side of his face has a satisfied expression, while the other has him screaming in fear or surprise. His hair piece is lots of black hair that stretches over his torso and on the back. He has a red bandanna to top it off. On the back of this extravagant hair piece is some braids and a continuation of the bandanna. It came in a separate bag.

Will Turner: If I heard right, Will Turner appears in only one other set: 4183: The Mill. I like this Minifigure. He gives the impression of an elite warrior - er, pirate. He has dark brown pants and great torso. He has a grayish shirt under a large brown belt with a silver buckle. His shirt is open at the top, revealing a silver necklace underneath. There is some backprinting, just lines for his shirt and more of that belt. He comes with a new piece exclusive to Pirates of the Caribbean: A sword-holder. It is similar to the handbag seen in some sets that must be slipped on before the head with the arm of a Minifigure raised. Here, where the 'bag' should be, is the sword holder. There is some room to slip the silver sword through the space and have it hanging out in the back like a, well, pirate. His face is also double-sided. both sides. He has one of those little mustaches, just a bit of hair. Same with his beard. He has brown side burns on the sides of his face. One side shows him with a sort of happy-determined look, as if laughing during a sword fight because he loves it. The other face is a smile, though it looks like his mouth is twitching. Perhaps he wants to laugh at Jack's hilarious head. He has sleek brown hair with a pony tail in the back.

Cannibal One: There are two cannibals in this set. They are different, though they have similarities. The first has brown legs and a red loincloth. On his torso is a belt of bones and a necklace of bones with a skull in the place of where a jewel would go. He wears no shirt so you can see how emaciated he is. No wonder he's hungry....He also has some yellow tattoos or paint or some type of making. The back of his torso shows more yellow tattoos. His face has more yellow tattoos and an angry expression with teeth showing, like a growl. He has awesome hair/ It's black and circular, almost like a hat. At the top there is a 'ponytail' which is actually a clip for a small white bone. He gets a nice long brown spear.

Cannibal Two: The second of the two cannibals. He has brown legs with another red loincloth. Skulls seem to hang from the loincloth ominously. His torso shows a sort of sash of bones hanging loosely across his torso. Some printing shows a full stomach. Maybe this is the leader cannibal and gets a lot more food than his servant. He has some more yellow tattoos. He has a smaller necklace of bones around his neck. on the back shows the back of the sash and necklace with a bit more tattoos. His head is different as well. His teeth are clenched as if frustrated, and his eyes are obviously angry. White paint like a mash surrounds his eyes. His hair is the same as the other cannibal, as is the spear.

Snakes: Not actual Minifigures. You get two standard snakes: green and red.

Fire Spit

This is one of those logs that get turned round and round over a fire to cook a person that is in all the movies. On a small baseplate there is a little fire with a couple orange studs and flames. Above is mainly a round stick piece, but at the end there is a piece that also spins with four studs. You can attach a Minifigure by the legs and spinning it with a piece on one outer end. It's a simple design, though very appreciated.

Throne

Again, I have not seen the movies, though I believe Jack becomes the 'god' at one point and has his own little throne. It is a chair with foliage sprouting at the bottom and with the a great back. Little Jack can rest his back against a 4x2 smooth piece with intricate skull designs on tree bark. Oh yeah - printed. There are no stickers in this set. The top of this chair has a skull head on top. Fang pieces poke through the top as well. There are also these pieces that look like some kind of big torch or sticks on either side of the throne with skulls on top. They move up and down. There is also some brown plant sprouting from the throne. A very well-designed seat of power.

Cannibal Hut

The meat of the set: The Cannibal Hut. It seems like a tree hollowed out with a archway for a door. Some foliage is coming out of the hut at the bottom. One side has a small opening in the bark for a window, the other side has more foliage sprouting midway top the top. One piece in front that looks like jagged rock is actually all one piece to represent bark. The tree arches to the left. On the inside there is a bit of room past the doorway.There is a crate with a sword and a glass bottle on one side below the window. Another has one of those tan back-packs seen in City sets nowadays. It hangs from the wall and has some little potion bottle. Up top on the tree there is some standing space. Large gray leaves hang outwards. Another turning device allows you to move a couple of connected chains up and down. The chains start off wrapped around this device and travel up the arch of the tree, passing bright green leaves and a multi-colored parrot piece. The chain continues and eventually hangs over the edge of the tree, where the chain is connected to the Bone Cage.

The Bone Cage

This special cage is made up of several bones, beige wand pieces, and Technic pieces (I think). Skulls are also attached. When building, it seems like you build a web with the sides all branches of the center. Then it all snaps together in the end to form the cage. The door way of this set can be raised up and down. It can hold two Minifigures inside. It is the highlight of this set and the reason I got it (or my brother got it). It is attached to that chain on top and can be lowered or raised.

Overall

So basically, this set is definitely worth the thirty bucks. I don't know what else to expect, especially with the stunning bone cage. I would highly reccomend it even if you don't care for Pirates of the Caribbean (like me). The Minifigures are all amazing and almost all of them are exclusive, excluding Will Turner. I'm definitely getting more sets.

This set is great. Here are the pros and cons.

Pros

• 4 amazing minifigs
• Cool Poster
• Good extra pieces
• BONE CAGE!
• Fire Pit
• Parrot
• Multilevel tree
• New pieces (Rock Formation)
• Plethora of accessories/weapons
• Chief chair with skeleton heads
• Good value for money

Cons

• No character card
• No cardboard backing for instructions
• Felt it was lacking something

The Pros greatly outnumber the cons and good replication of the movie scene. Get it for msrp and it will be a great deal.
