New POTC Pirate Ship 71042 The Silent Mary Now On Sale For LEGO VIPs

March 17, 2017 |

It’s finally time! The brand new Ghost Pirate ship from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales – 71042 The Silent Mary is now available to purchase for LEGO VIP Members! The general release date for 71042 The Silent Mary is on 1 April 2017.

Here are the direct links to buy The Silent Mary for your specific regions.

Of course if you live in a country with LEGO Brand Retail Stores, you should be able to saunter in and pick one up now.

If you’re in Australia or Great Britain, the set is now available for purchase. Americans will need a few more hours for them to tick over to the 17th of March, which is the official release date for LEGO VIP members.

For Aussies that want to wait to get a discount on this set, you can of course wait till May when this set will become available at most toy retailers in the country, where there’s a decent chance of snagging it for 20% off the retail price.

In addition to The Silent Mary, the two new Brickheadz Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Armando Salazar are also available for purchase.

The Ghost Ship, captained by the nefarious ghost pirate Salazar (played by Javier Bardem) has received a mixed reception from LEGO fans, with some loving the skeletal ghost ship look, and the others decrying the fact that it’s not a “real” pirate ship.

I happen to fall in the former camp, and was more than excited to purchase this set in anticipation for a full-blown review. I do have my reservations about this set, but I’m always up to the task of a challenging review.

LEGO have released a wealth of new hi-res photos of 71042 The Silent Mary, which includes the box art as well as a closer look at the awesome new LEGO Zombie Sharks included in the set which I’m super excited about.

You can check out the new photos below.
