There’s Going to Be a Lego Pirates of the Caribbean Game
 |
?FUCK AND YES. It’s due out next summer, will cover all four Pirates movies (that’s including the upcoming one, On Stranger Tides), have 70 characters, and be totally awesome (I presume). I’m infinitely more excited about this game than I am the actual movie, that’s for sure. I’m also excited because this almost certainly means there’ll be Lego Pirates toys coming out this summer, as the above Lego Jack Sparrow hinted at SDCC this year. Which means there will be a Lego Ian McShane, since he’s playing Blackbeard. Which means I’m one step closer to a Lego Deadwood collection. Admittedly, this is my first step, but I’ll take what I can get. (Via Wired)
