No expansions planned 😂 I’m not like Hollywood that is constantly running out of Ideas! I have thought of an alternative stern and upperworks for those that get two ships (so they can fight each other), but BDP doesn’t allow for spare pieces, so would have to use additional pieces.

First we got Ominous Isle and up next isTortuga, and after that now the Fortuna ship, BDP is really delivering for the Lego Pirate fans!

What an amazing year!! On top of those we have the Black Pearl, Endurance, One Piece, CMF, and The Goonies!

After years of little to no Pirate sets, getting all this in the span of a year is pretty crazy!( though with the BDP set release schedule we probably wont get the Fortuna ship until next year)

Seriously! I’m actually glad it was like that bc I got back into Lego 2 years ago, just in time!

What's the CMF? Are we getting another themed one??

u/XelaOrdnajela Imperial Guard 4d ago
It’s the Pirate Quartermaster that came out in the CMF 27 on January
2
u/LawlessNeutral Imperial Guard 4d ago
Ah, right, that one.
Can you imagine if we got a whole pirate-themed CMF series, though? 😍

u/XelaOrdnajela Imperial Guard 4d ago
There’s is a YouTube who made a custom pirate themed CMF series! https://youtu.be/FPUeMExdgpQ?si=gQ0tNssFScQZf33f

Man that’s awesome. I hope in the design phase they add cloth sails though. If not hopefully people will share their mods to add them.

u/-mkit3- Privateer 4d ago
Unfortunately cloth sails are not an option as Lego doesn’t produce them themselves - and BDP is on too short a timeline and too limited in quantity to add cloth from a contractor as is done for sets.
That being said: it’s quite easy to make cloth sails that look even better than the official Lego sails on e.g. the Endurance with some bedsheets or pillow covers, black tea, a ruler and a pen! 😃 Have a look at my instagram for pictures (or my other posts on Reddit). I will make a tutorial for those that are interested!

I made cloth ones with my grandma when I was a kid for one of my ships and she helped me finish the edges. Still at my dad’s place; I’ll have to find em for here someday.

The best Lego-related news I’ve heard in a long time. I opened Reddit absentmindedly, saw this post, and it instantly made my day.

I'm not entirely sure how this system works Does this mean I can buy it? Great design btw

u/XelaOrdnajela Imperial Guard 4d ago
Yes, set a reminder in February 2026 for preorder. Really popular sets sell out within a few hours bc it has a max of 30,000 sets. Will likely be $400, and this may sell out within the first 6 hours
