Here comes the cross-over you didn’t know, you didn’t even want!
Spiderman and LEGO Pirates!
This set be of little interest to most LEGO Pirate fans, but it may be worth plundering for its relevant pieces…
LEGO Marvel 11208 Team Spidey Pirate Ship
LEGO Pirates have officially entered the Spiderverse with this peculiar marriage of our beloved LEGO theme with one of the most popular superheros in history.
Set sail for imaginative play aboard the Team Spidey Pirate Ship (11208) creative building toy with Spidey, Green Goblin, Ghost-Spider and Miles “Spin” Morales. This building set offers a great way for boys, girls and kids ages 4 years old and up to develop skills as they explore fun at sea and on Spider Island.
Here be the crew; Spidey, Ghost-Spider and Miles Morales
This building set offers a great way for boys, girls and kids ages 4 years old and up to develop skills as they explore fun at sea and on Spider Island.
Photographic evidence of kid developing skills from this set
This feature-packed Spidey building toy includes a pirate ship, Spider Island with a slide, Green Goblin’s ship and a smaller boat. There’s a cannon on the pirate ship, a disc shooter on the island and shooters on Green Goblin’s ship.
The Green Goblin in his “ship”
Spidey’s web rope can be used to catch a fish, a treasure chest or Goblin’s ship. This Spider-Man gift for fans of Spidey And His Amazing Friends comes with colorful pictorial instructions, a Starter Brick and separate bags containing 1 buildable model per bag to make creative construction fast and fun.
This must be the fort on Spider Island
And, with the LEGO® Builder app, kids can zoom, rotate in 3D and track progress with simple digital instructions. Building set contains 201 pieces.
The app is the map to build the set
LEGO Pirate Parts
Most AFOLs probably don’t give a fig about a set aimed at wee nippers.
But there be useful parts abound, most notably a firing cannon!
Let’s hope these parts find their into future pirate sets
A generous number of fans were dismayed when they discovered 10365 Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship sported brick-built cannons in favour of the moulded cannon parts we know and love. So it’s reassuring to learn they’re still being churned out in the factory.
Hull parts in blue
Spidey’s ship is built upon blue hull parts – always useful for expanding your Imperial Armada’s armada beyond its flagship.
The set also offers a map, treasure chest, lantern, oar, telescope, mast, crows nest, shark and flag in cyan blue.
Look out! This set has one of them blue flame throwers!
Oh, and a ladder, so yer minifigs don’t need to levitate to access the next floor… like they did in the early Soldier sets.
Yer probably won’t be using that sail in yer LEGO Pirate builds
These useful elements probably don’t warrant a sale, so buy this set for yer kiddiwinks and then pillage all the good bits!
Has the LEGO Group gone balmy or be this a cross-over we desperately need?
Or be ye both a LEGO Pirates and Spiderman fan, and think this concept is absolutely fan-floggin-tastic?
Share the love of LEGO PiratesandSpiderman this Christmas
Well, at very least, the set provides an insight towards which pirate-themed elements are in production for the immediate future.
And now… With great sets, comes great discussions, so tell us whether 11208 Team Spidey Pirate Ship be worth a cracker in the Classic Pirates Facebook Group.
The mighty 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship has been sailin’ for a several weeks now, and though the winds of scarcity (a.k.a stock shortages) blew across the globe, a fair number of LEGO Pirate fans still managed lay their rum stained mitts upon it.
And LEGO being a highly extensible product, fans are all too eager to incorporate their own enhancements to original design.
The kraken in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, 2006
One such thundering upgrade stirring the brick seas be the addition of everyone’s favourite tentacled terror, the kraken…
Unleash the Kraken
In the climax of the first Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, Dead Man’s Chest, primary antagonist, Davy Jones summons his obedient beastie, the kraken to capture Jack Sparrow.
The kraken emerges to hug the Black Pearl
This monstrous force of nature coils itself around the Black Pearl like a serpent of doom, dragging Jack and the ship to Davy Jones’locker in the abyss below.
Hello beastie! Jack Sparrow faces the kraken’s maw
This rousing scene has penetrated deep into the hearts and minds of fans throughout the (two) decades, inspiring them to create their own LEGO interpretations…

This custom LEGO® add-on brings Davy Jones’ Kraken to life with eight posable arms, designed to accompany either set 10365 LEGO® Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship or the classic 4184 The Black Pearl. With these arms, you can recreate the epic ending of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, where Davy Jones’ Kraken attacks the Black Pearl and drags it into the sea.
chrispy_bricks Continues:
The design comes from Joshua Chawner, as seen in Hamster Productions’ legendary stop-motion video The LEGO Kraken. I am providing the piece count list for all eight arms here FOR FREE.
I actually had the opportunity to talk with Mike Psiaki, the LEGO® designer behind set 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship. I asked him if there was ever any discussion about including the Kraken from Dead Man’s Chest in the set. He explained that it wasn’t discussed, mostly because it would have either increased the ship’s size and price too much…
Sail over to ReBrickable to snag the building instructions or visit Chrispy Bricks on Instagram and YouTube for more fantastic content.
Tentacles be just the tip o’ the trident when it comes to cephalopod anatomy… most sport a beak sharp enough to cleave bone, but what of this here kraken?

It’s been a while since a Pirate-themed submission achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas.
And while Iyan Ha’s design found inspiration in Ernest Hemingway’s classic novella, it lacks a true buccaneer. Nonetheless, this seafaring build may still hold interest to some LEGO Pirate fans…
“The Old Man and the Sea” wasn’t a finalist which passed the LEGO Review Board’s scrutiny, so it’s been dry-docked in the Parking Lot to determine whether it be suitable for production.
Hello. I’m Iyan Ha.
This project is the creation of the novel, “The Old Man And The Sea”, written by Ernest Hemingway.
I worked with Studio 2.0, a designer program.
I used about 1,300 bricks, & 1 minifigure.
Meet Santiago, the titular old man and the only minifig yer get
IYan continues:
“Why are we challenging ourselves?”
“Why do we move forward without being daunted by defeat?”
This novel by Ernest Hemingway tells the story of man’s spirit of challenge who is undaunted by defeat.
My project is also like that.
The giant marlin caught by Santiago
IYan continues:
In the distant seas of Cuba, a giant size of a marlin is caught fishing by an old fisherman, “Santiago.”
The fish was 18 feet (5.5 meters) long and weighed 1,500 pounds (700 kilograms).
The old man continues to follow the marlin’s lead even as he falls and injures himself in the boat.
Santiago is gonna need a bigger boat!
IYan continues:
The old man never gives up the marlin caught in the fishing rod.
On the third day, the old man overpowers the giant marlin that popped up to the surface. And ties it to the side of the boat.
A bit like Moby Dick but with a swordfish!
IYan continues:
But another difficulty begins.
The marlin’s sniffing sharks chase the old man’s boat.
The old man challenges the fight against the sharks.
Every time sharks rush in, the marlin’s flesh gradually disappears.
But the old man never gives up.
The giant marlin caught when the boat returned to the coast was left with only its bones.
The old man enters the cabin house, falls asleep, and dreams of lions.
Sharks not included
IYan continues:
The misfortune behind the fight against the giant marlin and sharks does not mean the old man’s defeat.
He was undefeated.
He went beyond his limits and accepted his fight with himself.
He showed how humans should behave.
Simply replace the Santiago minifigure with a LEGO Pirate minifig
“The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway
Iyan Ha’s model borrows inspiration from Hemingway’s 1952 book, capturing a fierce seafaring confrontation within the frame of an open book.
A copy of the book is included
Good luck reading it, though…
IYan continues:
Hemingway won the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature for his 1952 novel “The Old Man and the Sea.”
I made a scene in the novel with Lego.
It is divided into three parts: the old man’s boat / the marlin / and the sea.
And when these are combined, a diorama is completed.
Synopsis
The story follows Santiago, a weathered fisherman from the Cuban coast, who’s been cursed with 84 days of empty nets without a catch.
A decorative plaque is included so yer don’t forget the name
But on the 85th morn, he sets sail alone, far beyond the shallows, and hooks a marlin so mighty it could drag Poseidon’s own chariot.
For three days and nights, Santiago battles the beast, his hands torn, his body weary, but his spirit unbroken.
A pertinent quote from the story is also included
He finally slays the marlin at last, straps it to his skiff, and turns homeward. Yet the cruel sea, sends sharks to feast on his prize, leaving naught but bones. Still, Santiago returns with his head held high, for though the sea took his catch, it could not take his pride.
History Lesson
Legendary author Ernest Hemingway penned the tale in the year of 1952, earning him the Pulitzer Prize, and eventually enabling him to claim the Nobel.
Ernest Hemingway writing a story on his laptop in 1948
The Old Man and the Sea be a story of grit, of man against nature, of fighting fate with nothing but a line, a hook, and the heart of a lion.
“But man is not made for defeat,” he said. “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.“
Santiago may be old, but he’s no landlubber — he’s a legend carved in salt, sweat and sorrow.
About the Builder…
IYan Ha is a South KoreanAFOL who’s been extraordinarily busy with LEGO Ideas, accumulating SEVEN 10K submissions and FIVE Staff Picks beneath his bootstrap.
Ivan hasn’t previously appeared on the Classic Pirates radar because he’s yet to embrace our beloved LEGO Pirate theme, but he has built a few ships from other eras of history.
Nonetheless, the occasional brave soul still tempts their fate with LEGO Ideas, but Pirates of Barracuda Bay be only true Classic Pirate-themed submission to succeed.
It be that time of year again when phantoms rise from the deep… and the moonlight shows us for what we really are…
Let’s sail into the twilight and observe some ghoulish LEGO Pirate creations what seem fit for All Hallowed eve…
“The Haunted Isle” by the_brick_stop
From the master of the mid 90s classic-set aesthetic, the_brick_stop brings us this spooky island concept.
Glow in the dark ghosts work well with the Pirate theme
the_brick_stop writes:
In an obscure corner of the map, hidden from most of pirate world lies the Haunted realms.
Some say one must pass through the vale of tangible existence to enter these waters, while others claim a dreadful price is laid on any who traverse this realm!
Only the swashbuckling ghost hunters dare the tread these waters.
Where do Imperials go when they succumb to a cutlass blade?
They reanimate of course! As bricks_by_pata illustrates…

Originally submitted to BrickLink Designer ProgramSeries 4 by BrickyBrick82, this macabre menace takes the skeleton island concept to a whole new level!
This island was discovered by Graybeard and his fierce crew and is currently his stronghold. The Island was named so because of the force with which its giant arms press down on ships and enclose the smallest ones.
Here be a LEGO Pirate crossover we don’t encounter all too frequently…

“Suspended Ghost Pirate Ship” by lillz_book_brick_pics
This supernatural build, effectively utilising translucent green elements was submitted to the 2025@umbasa_lug LEGO Pirate challenge.
Classic Pirates used Photoshop to enhanced the colours but not the physics
lillz_book_brick_pics harnesses power of tensigrity to achieve the spectral illusion of a ghostly ship afloat midair.

This is my entry for @umbasa_lug lego pirate challenge: a suspended (no photoshop) ghost pirate ship. Had a lot of fun building this, and though difficult, it was extremely rewarding.
Many fans welcomed the effort, exclusively offered as an Gift With Purchase.
However, some drew parallels to the 1996 set, 6248 Volcano Island and felt the form set was better executed with superior play features and more valuable pirate themed parts.
The set contains 179 pieces and 2 minifigures, Irving and Irene Walsh, parents of protagonist Mikey who discovers the map of One-Eyed Willy in their attic.
Recreate the The Goonies movie scene in which Willy’s treasure map is discovered in the Walsh family’s attic. This LEGO® Ideas building set features authentic details from the attic scene, plus Irving Walsh and Irene Walsh minifigures. A fantastic gift with purchase for fans of that classic 1980s adventure movie, the attic model complements The Goonies Adventure set (21363), and the 4 Goonie minifigures in that set can be placed around ‘The Goonies’ plaque. Set contains 179 pieces.
“Hey, you guys!” Relive The Goonies movie adventure with this collectible LEGO® Ideas set for adults (21363). This diorama model features brick-built vignettes of iconic scenes from the 1980s cult classic movie, from the Fratellis’ hideaway and caves to Willy’s treasure room. Turn the model around to view a detailed recreation of the exterior of the Inferno pirate ship ruins.
The set includes 12 LEGO minifigures of key characters from the movie and the interiors are packed with authentic details. Send a minifigure through the secret fireplace entrance to the caves. Activate the boulder-dropping trap. Use the Copper Bones Skeleton Key to release the trapdoor. Push the keys on the skeleton organ to break the floor and access the slide to the octopus (from a deleted scene). Send Sloth sliding down the mast on the Inferno deck.
The whole gang is here… really – the entire gang is here this time.

Series 9 Pirate-Themed Submissions
Here be what Series 9 has to offer LEGO Pirate fans…
The BrickLink Designer Program be a path for LEGO Pirate fans to turn their own designs into official LEGO sets, which eventually YOU may buy.
Yer don’t have long!
Builders submit their finest designs (Open Submission), then we vote for our favorites (Crowd Support). Next, the BrickLink Designer Team selects five designs to refine, and during Crowdfunding, yer may pre-order the finished sets.
That be the short of it, the long of it can be in the Series 9 article.
While we await Crowd Support for BrickLink Designer ProgramSeries 9 to commence upon October 6, let’s continue our explorative journey of Brick Perfection’s ship, the Fortuna, which he submitted to three different series!
First Series 5, then Series 6 and finally Series 7 before triumphing in the BrickLink Designer Team’s review.
Fortuna is back! – Completely rebuilt for Series 6! Better, stronger, more detailed, more sophisticated, more polished!
The new and improved Fortuna for Series 6 – spot the changes!
BrickPerfection continues:
Fortuna is a fast sailing frigate designed as a Privateer – a government-commissioned vessel tasked with hunting pirate ships or, deceptively, becoming one. As a true frigate, Fortuna is equipped with 20 cannons and 2 swivel guns.
There will be a boat included if selected as a finalist!
That’s right! The privateers will be able to survive if Fortuna is sunk!
BrickPerfection continues:
This set introduces the unpredictable Privateers to the LEGO Pirates theme, capable of aligning with any faction or pursuing their own adventures. Fortuna includes 12 Minifigures, a striking figurehead, and a small cat to protect supplies from rats.
Putting that into perspective, 10210 Imperial Flagship contains 1,664 pieces, meaning Fortuna boasts 240% more parts!
Dimensions

Accessible Interior Remove the top deck in sections for full access, allowing minifigures to stand and move below deck.
BrickPerfection concludes:
Fortuna’s efficient design makes the most of its 4,000 pieces, ensuring an enjoyable building experience with plenty of customisation options. Although the design is ambitious, I have paid close attention to making it as buildable as possible.
Set sail with Fortuna for endless adventures and creative possibilities!
BrickPerfection sails that extra nautical mile, crafting videos that delve deep into the heart of his creations so fans can be assured of what they’ll be purchasing.

Physical build of the Fortuna submitted to Series 6
BrickPerfection writes:
Fortuna as reconstructed for BDP Series 6 – here in physical bricks […] The boat isn’t included in the rendered version, but if selected as a finalist one will be added; either prefab or brick-built.
Now with a more curvaceous rear!
BrickPerfection writes:
The reconstructed Fortuna from the rear… the stern decoration has been rearranged and the stern shape is now rounder and more organically integrated into the hull shape.
Series 5 & 6 Comparison
Most pirates probably be lacking photographic memories and may not be able to spot the differences immediately.
Fear not, ye absentminded scallywags! BrickPerfection kindly provides us with comparison photos…
Comparing the changes made to Fortuna as a result of her redesign for BDP Series 6 – here shown as built with physical bricks 😃
The Hold Test
Ok great! Fortuna has received some nifty upgrades since the Series 5, but is she still structurally sound?
BrickPerfection’s obligatory single hand test
BrickPerfection writes:
Needed to add a mandatory picture to show off Fortuna’s sturdiness – still built on a Technic frame, just more efficiently than before. Stability is improved over previous versions – especially at the bow – while using about 80 pieces less that I could utilize for much better detailing! 😃
More Features Video
A second video showcasing the ship’s feature with an emphasis on it’s structural integrity.
BrickPerfection (the magnificent Moritz Krusche) be one of the all time greatest ship builders!
Sailing from Sydney in the land down under (known to some as Australia), BrickPerfection has successfully navigated from the physical age of building, to the digital age, and back again!
We’re accepting submissions from September 15th – September 29th 2025. The best designs have the chance to be Series 9 sets, so get those ideas flowing!
So turns out with the new palette reducing many of the available bricks and generally having time to work out the issues I had with my BDP8 version, I’m working on a large revamp for BDP9.
Since I’ve also gotten myself a new laptop (the ten year old one was kinda in need of replacement), the rendering goes a bit faster, so I could do an early trial render.
Ever since Steve sailed into the Imperial Trading Posts, LEGO Pirates fans have been clamoring for more non-pirate, non-military vessels, yet such a vessel never arrived in official capacity.
Elephant Knight’s submission, the aptly named Merchant Ship could turn those tides…
The last month or two I have been spending a lot of time working on building a ship that I plan to submit for the BDP 9. It’s not quite finished, I still have the interior of the cabin to complete. […] As well as completing the cabin. I will also have some more pictures of the virtual model up soon, but for now, let me know what you think, areas that need improving, and what sort of details would be needed!
Maydayartist has created this gorgeous masterpiece he calls “Colonial Harbor Scene“. There’s a lot of huge buildings in this MOC, as well as a large ship you can see if you follow the link to the forums. The cobblestone street is my personal favorite part, but there are many great designs throughout! Even the Photoshop images are stunning.
The harbour is bustling with activity

Hi there,
After a busy half year with many new creations done as an employee of a LCP I start build some own mocs.
In addition, I have joined a group of authors to publish a construction book titled “Build your own LEGO Knights Realm“.
The publishing date will be in September and for more information I will start a new topic if it is done.
And for this we need some background material to present some bigger and some little special MOCs.
One of this little MOCsis a medieval crane.
He should be placed in a harbor scene with some houses, figures and a ship.
The ship was easily done – my Revenge.
For the rest I build some buildings and a heavy time required cobblestones street in one week.
The result was better than expected, so I decided to present it here as well.
The final picture will be high resolution and professional Photoshoped.
My pictures are done after that and Photoshoped too. But more quick & dirty
Enjoy!
This is the photo used on every website (which is why we didn’t use it for the featured image)
It’s looking a bit quieter from this end
From the east we can see the crane and fort
The ship is well armed so pirates should think twice about plundering!
Too bad Maydayartist didn’t take more photos of this ship
Build Your Own LEGO Knight’s Realm
“The Big Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Book” by Joachim Klang, Philipp Honvehlmann, Lutz Uhlmann and Tim Bischoff.
This book was officially published in November 2014.
This new unofficial LEGO builders book combines the fascinating world of medieval knights and other fantasy kingdoms with iconic items and great building ideas all illustrated with easy-to-follow step-by-step building instructions – a real well of inspiration to create your own castles, fortresses and catapults, not forgetting some fantasy figures such as the awesome dragon from Game of Thrones!
The chap in green is a very important looking fellow. He seems to have his own private guards.
About the Builder…
Several years ago, Maydayartist shared his wonderful creations in the LEGO Pirates Forum. He has quite an impressive collection of MOCs on Brickshelf and we’re not 100% certain but this may be his Instagram profile. Or it could be one of the authors he collaborated with – go find out! If you’re fluent in Deútsche, you can also read the “Colonial Hafen” topic on www.1000steine.de.
