Review : LEGO 5009609 Jack Sparrow's Compass

Today we go very quickly around the contents of the LEGO set 5009609 Jack Sparrow's Compass, a small box of 151 pieces that will be offered to members of the LEGO Insiders program from the launch on September 12, 2025 of the LEGO ICONS set 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship (2862 pieces - €349,99). The offer is expected to last until September 18, 2025.

I won't draw you a picture, this is about assembling Jack Sparrow's compass and LEGO makes the effort to offer us a rather accomplished construction despite the reduced inventory of the product. No stickers in this box, the dial which is the only element with a pattern is therefore pad printed.

It should be noted that the design of the piece has changed significantly since the official product visuals were released. The dial is now a little less faithful to that of the compass seen on screen, whose pattern starts from the center of the dial with more pronounced cardinal points.

For the rest, it's quickly assembled but the object has real decorative potential if you display it next to the Black Pearl. It will bring a little touch of color near the black ship and this unpretentious little promotional product seems to me much less mean than the one offered for the purchase of the Death Star. For those who are wondering, the dome in Trans Black of the cover is the one already seen in 2023 in the LEGO set 76993 Sonic vs. Dr. Eggman's Death Egg Robot.

One could criticize the choice of color Medium Dark Flesh for the compass frame which is much darker on screen, but the contrast between this accessory and the ship which will be displayed next to it remains interesting. A gray or black frame would have had less potential.

As you might expect, the item has no real functionality, even though the dial rotates on its axis and you can have fun with it for two minutes. That's already very good for a small promotional set designed to reward all those who purchase it as soon as it launches and at the full price of the set. 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship.

Once again, it's a shame about the usual yellow cardboard box; this packaging doesn't really showcase the contents of the products inside. The same product delivered in conventional packaging would have had a little more character. We'll make do.
