Box

The box is as informative as any other Pirates of the Caribbean set. The front shows you all the details that are needed like the serial number and name of the set, minifigs included with their name and also a nice picture of the play set that are serve with a beautiful background. The top side of the box shows the actual minifigs scale and you can see Blackbeard there while the back shows you the function of the plastic waterfall mat.

Content

There is this properly packed poster, instruction booklet and a Hector Barbossa card, two bags of bricks and a plastic mat that has the waterfall printed on it and to my surprise this set eventually sell at a higher price here compare to Isla De La Muerta, which has more pieces, better accessories and minifigs.

The card quality is not as good as those trading card like those Pokemon, that you get from the booster pack, is just a card with some sort of code that you can use on the LEGO site. The poster again have the map to Fountain of Youth and some pictures of these cute minifigs at Fountain of Youth.

Accessories

Not much of a rare accessories here except for the nicely painted Blackbeard's sword. You can see that this new nice is nicely mold with a little details on the handle and is a little bigger compare to the normal sword that we have.

Minifigs

I guess I do not need to snap the picture of the common skeleton which I think most of us already own at least one. Anyway, all the minifigs got their torso printed on both side and only Jack Sparrow have two expression printed on the head. All of their headgear are printed too. So what's rare here is Hector Barbossa which you only get in this set, and Blackbeard which only can get in this set and Queen Anne's Revenge (#4195).

Here's the common Jack Sparrow with the two boring expression that you get in Captain's Cabin (#4191) and even The Mill (#4183).

Waterfall

I guess this is what is written in the set description at LEGO Shop, the waterfall. Judging from the playability, I suppose this waterfall has become the entrance to the Fountain of Youth. I like the round grill bricks by the way.

Fountain of Youth

My first impression on this set after watching the movie, this set is totally different from what it is seen in the movie and I think is the worst set in this line. Is good you get a lot of translucent parts like here, a printed part and a lot of dark green parts, but design wise. . . what on earth is this, is not any close to the Fountain of Youth??? So again, they try to sell the minifigs.

Extra pieces

Here are the leftovers with me after I assemble everything. If you are a sword lover, this theme supplies you with a lot of them.

Completed model

This set do include you with some nice minifigs and even rare ones, also a few nice parts are included. But the whole thing seems like do not have any connection with the movie itself.

Playability: 2/10 There's totally no playability here, walking through the plastic fall is not a playability.
Building experience: 4/10 Nothing funs here since there is no playability.
Parts:6/10 Not that bad, you get the round grill parts, translucent part and dark green parts.
Value for money: 6/10 Not that worth it, you might think is worth if you are a minifigs collector.
Overall: 4/10 I just buy this to complete the theme and also for the minifigs.
