Shiver me timbers! Here’s LEGO 71042 The Silent Mary from POTC: Dead Man Tell No Tales

February 18, 2017 | 17

Yahoo Movies has just unveiled the much-anticipated new 2017 LEGO Pirate Ship, 71042 The Silent Mary from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales.

The Silent Mary is the Ghost Ship belonging to Salazar, the ghastly villain from Dead Man Tell No Tales played by the mercurial Javier Bardem. Unveiled at the New York Toy Fair, The Silent Mary comes in at a very respectable 2,200 pieces and will cost US$199.99 with a release date of 1 April 2017. There will be a VIP early access on 15 March.

Update 2: The Australian and UK price of The Silent Mary has been revealed. Honestly, not as bad as I thought for a set this large. I mean, it’s almost 70cm long and 50cm tall, so this is not a tiny ship in the slightest!

Update: The product page for 71042 Silent Mary has gone live for the US.

Here are the direct links to buy The Silent Mary when it gets released.

• LEGO 71042 The Silent Mary – $199.99 [US]
• LEGO 71042 The Silent Mary – $179.99 [GB]
• LEGO 71042 The Silent Mary – $349.99 [AUS]

The ship looks to feature an incredible amount of detail, and I’m loving the skeletal frame of The Silent Mary. It features a hinged bow section, opening skeleton hull with decay and destruction detailing, movable rudder, collapsible main mast and two further masts, long bowsprit with crow’s nest and mast, tattered sails, detailed quarterdeck, plus a rowboat with two oars and an array of weapons and accessory elements.

As you can see in this photo, the skeletal hull of The Silent Mary can gape open, possibly to consume other ships.

71042 The Silent Mary comes with eight minifigures Captain Jack Sparrow, Henry, Carina, Lieutenant Lesaro, Captain Salazar, Officer Magda, Officer Santos and the Silent Mary Masthead.

I love Pirate Ships and cannot wait for this set. It’s such a unique take on the classic Pirate Ship look and with so much buzz being generated by the excellent movie trailer, I fully expect The Silent Mary to be one of the standout sets of 2017.
