That ship is not simply the HMS Interceptor as seen in PotD, TCotBP. But he has also said that his design was for the game only and would not withstand real world forces such as gravity.Īs far as some of the other PotC ships. They were hires renders of his designs for the Lego PotC game. Part of the confusion came in because Bricktrix isn't simply an AFOL. This Sponge Bob set is currently the only official LEGO Flying Dutchman. The LEGO Group had no plans to release a Flying Dutchman set based on the version depicted in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.Īn AFOL known as Bricktrix produced high resolution images of a Flying Dutchman MOC which some mistook for an official release. That all being said I do really hope that Lego returns to pirates soon and produces some more awesome sets. I mean Disney made 4 movies so, there was plenty of material for more sets, I just think that there was a lack of interest and Lego decided to not produce anymore POTC sets until another movie came out. Now if you remembor with Indiana Jones, Lego released 2-3 waves and covered most of the major characters and events from the films whereas POTC was missing quite a few different scenes and characters such as: Pintel and Regetti, Cotten with the Parot, The Empress, The Interceptor, The Flying Dutchman "cancelled", The prison and the dog with the key, The pirate attack on Port Royal, Tortuga, Captain Barbossa's undead crew, and several other set possibilities. I also felt that a lot of the POTC sets were only half finished in terms of design and didn't include half of the main characters from the series. So, no I don't have any statistics but, as I recall the POTC line did better than Lego originally expected but, not well enough to release the Flying Dutchman set the following year. I think if I remember correctly it was because of a lack of interest in the POTC line. The reason I believe POTC didn't sell as well was because Lego cancelled the Flying Dutchman set that was supposed to be released in 2012. Do you have any market research data to support your poor sales claim?
