Box
First I would like to say that this box is really packed, you can feel that the space inside is fully utilize and you can feel the heaviness of it.
Now to the front of the box, it shows the serial number and name of the set on the left while showing Jack Sparrow going against two other pirates. The side of the box shows the actual minifigs scale represented by Jack Sparrow and his name. The back of the box have enlarge picture of ship in the bottle and the globe.

Content
We get four bags of content. The instruction booklet, card and poster are seal in a plastic bag to prevent the them from getting damage. But I think not all set got their instruction book packed. Jack Sparrow's hair piece are pack separately as well and you sure have seen the globe piece that are packed separately too in the content picture.

Anyway, there is this card of Jack Sparrow with some sort of code at the back of the card and the poster are nice too, showing all the minifigs that are released for PotC. Each set have different poster though as it were shown in the instruction booklet.

Accessories
There are a lot of accessories included in this set, including the new big bones from Ninjago, but I didn't include that inside as it is a part of the rack. There are also nice printed pieces like ship in the bottle, map, and compass.

Minifigs
I do like the Jack Sparrow minifigs, and of course the new sword holder accessories. Is a very useful piece that you can add into your pirate collections. All of their torso are printed both side while Jack Sparrow got his leg printed. While Jack Sparrow and the long hair pirate got two expression that bald one got printed tattoo on his head.

Table
There are new printed map piece given, goblet and a torch on the table. The one thing I'm not sure whether is a pros or cons here is the rotatable table skeleton leg.

Globe
I'm quite curious about the globe before this until I see the review from someone else. The globe got their both side printed differently and from what I heard it happen to be Sandy's (Spongebob's friend) helmet. Is the same piece.

Rack
I just love the design of the rack, no idea why, but I think is because of the big bone piece that makes me likes it since it is a new piece plus the printed ship on the bottle to make ship in bottle piece.

Extra pieces
Here are a few of the parts that left after you are done with the model itself.

Completed model
I think this set include us with nice parts at a very reasonable price. I think all of the rack, globe and table are very well made although I haven't really seen the actual one, but who cares as long as the parts are nice.

Completion

Playability: 4/10 Not really have a playability over here
Building experience: 4/10 Since it is a small set, no new technique are learned and quite fast things are done.
Parts: 8/10 Look at all the accessories given, I just liking them.
Value for money: 8/10 The price here is very good considering the accessories and minifigs given.
Overall: 6/10 Lack of playability and boring building process, but nice parts and reasonable price.
