910053 Thieves of Tortuga
The Thieves of Tortuga be an upcoming LEGO BrickLink Designer Program set that was originally submitted to Series 5 by Krackenator (Taylor Anderson).
There be some interesting changes since we last visited here…
Designed to resemble Tortuga, this legendary pirate haven, includes locations like The Tortuga Tavern, Captain’s Residence, and The Loot House.
It’s even kind of modular!
The set consists of 4,002 pieces and measures 79 cm (31 inches) long, 35 cm (14 inches) wide, and 26 cm (10 inches) tall.
The interior of each building is easily accessible from behind
The set features six buildings, 13 minifigures, and various accessories, including treasure, animals, and a sail boat… brick-built sails mind ye.
Spot the new additions to the minifigure line-up
The BrickLink Designer crew be munificent indeed—they’ve tossed in a Jolly Roger, though it ain’t the time-honoured version from days of yore.
Sharp-eyed buccaneers be spyin’ a new imperial regiment sailing into port — who be these new enforcers of the seas? They’ve even hoisted their flag.
Friends or foe? They weren’t included in the build submitted to Series 5
Even Marooned Marin gets a nod
The Box
Like most BrickLink Designer Program sets, the box design be very minimalist, featuring the build surrounded in a sea of white, with various titles and logos encircling it.
The presentation of these BrickLink sets be overly utilitarian
Alas! In decades hence, yer probably won’t be enjoying that nostalgia-driven dopamine rush that be stirred after gazing upon classic era box art.
