LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Whitecap Bay - Set 4194
Combine brick building fun with swashbuckling action and adventure and you’ve got one of this year’s must-have toys. LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Whitecap Bay (Set No. 4194) will go down a storm with brick heads looking for a big set to really get stuck into. Suitable for children aged 7 and up, it’s a spectacular showpiece and has creative role play sorted.
Released to tie in with the latest movie, On Stranger Tides, it’s packed with features including a collapsing lighthouse and exclusive minifigs that make it worth the money.
Captain Jack Sparrow and his band of reprobates are on a mission to capture a mermaid. Use the working search light on the lighthouse to spot them and use the explode function to fire the net-shooting cannon and stop them whisking her away. Watch out for the whale oil barrel! If it tips over, the whole lot will be engulfed in unstoppable flames.
What makes LEGO Whitecap Bay a worthy contender for a spot under the Christmas tree?
For starters, the build experience is awesome. It’s a fun but challenging build with 746 pieces to keep brains and fingers fully occupied. The lighthouse and boathouse combine to make an imposing castle that boasts plenty of features and intricate attention to detail. Measuring a mighty 25cm tall x 30cm, she’s a real rustic beauty with heavy timber doors, a big black door, roof sections and window spaces.
The rowboats are a nice touch and add to the overall playability of the set. They measure 10cm long x 2cm wide and come complete with dinky oars, lanterns and anchor.
No LEGO set would be complete without cool minifigures and Whitecap Bay is no exception. Look inside the box and you’ll find 6 minifigs: Captain Jack Sparrow, Philip, Scrum, Syrena and 2 mermaids – the last 3 are exclusive to this set.
Last but not least, we have the accessories. Flame elements, gold bricks, coins, bottles, pick axes and shovels add the authentic touch and bring the setting to life.
Great fun to build and play with, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Whitecap Bay makes a magnificent main Christmas gift for a brick head. It’s priced at around £71.99 but there are some big deals out there right now so use the price comparison feature and shop around to save money.
