chofus Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Is Silent Mary only available in Lego Stores, and not in other retailers? I know i saw BP and QAR in Mullers and some local stores, so i wonder if this is the case with SM. Quote

N-4K0 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I don't remember if it's been said, but will it also be available from tomorrow only in Lego Stores and at lego.com? Quote

I It's either very succesful or they produced a limited amount/takes a while to make the sets. We'll see how it turns out. If these are very succesful we could see future POTC sets if we get a POTC 6 Quote
clm Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Just built my Silent Mary... it is gorgeous! I just adore how the hull tapers from midship towards the bow and the stern, and how it has an actual bow castle unlike any of the other lego ships... I feel it's the best 'pirate' ship that Lego has made for display purposes... there are better ones for play purposes :) Although saying that I am still somewhat uncertain about the towers... I still have not found any historical ships that had them. Edited April 1, 2017 by clm Quote
N-4K0 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 I haven't seen any ship models with such towers either, but I like the artistic touch and uniqueness they add to the Silent Mary. It makes it different than regular ships. Quote
eldiano Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) After obsessing with the trailers from the new movie, I noticed that literally all the crew of the silent mary have admiral hats and not the tricorn, and my biggest objection from this set after building it, is being angry at lego at the notion that given the proportion of this huge ship they did not bother to add the mini figures at least to compliment the tremendous size of the ship, and tha'ts how I feel, loved building this ship and felt like it was a breeze to assemble but just how they did the helicarrier it would have been awesome if they bothered to include some of them.

Admiral Bejaune Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) The silent Mary is heavily based on the French ship La Couronne of 1636. Here is a website about the ship. http://www.historicships.com/TALLSHIPS/Corel/La Couronne SM17/La Couronne SM17.htm You can also google image search "La Couronne ship" and see some great models of it.

eldiano Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Thats acually pretty amazing i thought they made it up the size of that ship along with the turrets, now i am curious on what it would have looked like in real life! Quote
clm Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Indeed I can see how those would be the basis of the towers, although they appear more for looking out of on that one or maybe using muskets in. Judging by the cannons shown on the models and plans the towers would be too small for actual cannons. Quote
N-4K0 Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 I've just placed an order on S@H for the Silent Mary Quote

Scarilian Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Ended up getting lucky on Ebay the other day and if all goes well i should have a second Silent Mary by the end of the month - so will have enough parts to combine them into one ship which should be getting close to complete. Will share pictures if its reasonably close to a completed ship. Quote
N-4K0 Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 I got my Silent Mary today. Currently about to start building from bag 5. I'm normally not very interested in anything outside the Technic stuff, but I must say despite this set having a Technic-based frame, it has boosted my interest in more system-like builds. Quote
shaggysanchez Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 Silent Mary is currently on sale at toys r us for $168.00 if anyone is still looking. https://m.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=121030866&irgwc=1&iradidTRU=221294&camp=aff:TRU:10451:Slickdeals LLC&irpidTRU=10451 Quote
Ashnflash Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Don't know if anyone else saw this... But I found this really interesting. Could we be getting more sets? Quote

POTC has 3 sets, so I'm not too surprised to see it have its own section.

Well unless it was removed. There is no Simpsons thumbnail and they had 2 D2C's, 2 CMF's and 3 Dimensions packs. Ghostbusters had 3 full sets and 4 Dimensions packs. POTC technically only has one set right now. If you click on the thumbnail it only lists that SM and not the Brickheadz. Quote

Would be cool to see if you already did it. Quote

Been working on it, problem is that i dont think i have enough of the curved pieces for the hull and trying to make the bow is proving difficult. Along with finding a good method of making the hull either sturdy enough to support the weight on its own or have good enough supports to be able to manage the additional weight. Shall try and get some more work on it done once more of the hull pieces arrive Quote
SpiderJazz Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Just watched the film, I think there's alot of items/components that is important that they should've included. I love the "book/journal" of Carina. Spoiler But they should've included the Poseidon's trident. Quote
TalonCard Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Spoiler There are lots of great opportunities for additional sets or MOCs in the movie: The Dying Gull is delightfully dilapidated--I love the bone-dry look of the wood and little details like the mismatched rail posts. The spinning guillotine seems like a natural choice for LEGO adaptation (probably as an MOC though, I could never see them doing a set.) Barbossa, Murtogg, and Mullroy figures from this movie would be awesome. Hate the scene, but the whale skeleton chapel would be lovely to see in LEGO form. (They did something similar with the Divers theme back in 1997) The chase with the bank would be an amazing layout. We still need a hammer-headed zombie shark! The Silent Mary masthead could use a constraction figure. ;) Having seen the Silent Mary in action, all the discussion and debate over whether or not it should have a cabin interior seems silly in retrospect--there's almost nothing inside her.

Legoman123 Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 I've been a way for a while guys but it's good to be back! Personally I don't see any need whatsoever to create a page like that just for one Pirates of the Caribbean set. I believe there's more to come. Quote
