Yo Ho Ho and a Lego of — Well, Just a Lego
Well well. Look who staggered into Lego’s Prince of Persia toy display at SDCC.

?Lego has neither confirmed nor denied a Lego Pirates of the Caribbean set, because obviously we can’t possibly know the truth after a factory made Jack Sparrow Lego figure made it into Lego’s locked display at their official SDCC booth. Yes, we’ll just have to leave this a mystery, perhaps never to be answered. I’m sure it was just some clerical error. Maybe 30 or 40 clerical errors in a row, which caused a Lego figure to randomly look exactly like Jack Sparrow and end up there. Yeah, that’s probably it. (The Brothers Brick)
