Ye be missing out if ye dont own
Posted: November 5, 2009
"A very nice addition to the pirate line. Great character selection with a mix of pirates and soldiers. A nice size ship, but would love to see a larger style of galleon. Overall play is fantastic, and appearance overall once build is eye catching. If you are a pirate fan, this is a must have for your collection.....savvy."

Brickbeard's Bounty
Posted: October 17, 2009
"I got this for Christmas last year, and it was way too much fun! It is very detailed, and the build is fun, but not all that complicated. There are, however, a few notable flaws. For one, the sails with often cave in, but if you put something on the bars to space them out, it helps, and it isn't that bad looking. Another thing is that the lanterns on the top deck will fall off easily, and I have no solution. The shark was amazing, and it is amazing how the minifigures fit in him. It has a LOT of playability. But if LEGO releases a new ship for the Imperial Soldiers, than that will be awesome. Thanks for listening to my rant."

A nice pirate ship but...
Posted: October 13, 2009
"Still waiting to see a double-decker pirate ship loaded to the hilt with cannons. The details in the mini-figs is nice, the shark has some nice new chompers with the newly painted white teeth, looks that much more ferocious. The details on the exterior of the captain's cabin is nice, but could use some more items on the interior. Maybe some furniture or other small accessories. The sails are sturdy and no more string required to hang them, which is nice. Overall a nice ship, but still left you wanting a bit more. I will wait to see what type of ship the Armada will receive to match wits with against the Pirates."

Great pirate battle!
Posted: September 11, 2009
"A fantastic set displaying a classic pirate battle. Featuring ten figures, I think this is the best pirate set in Lego.com (including price!). I love the walk-the-plank, the sails, and the monkey! Goes well with every pirate set. Fab functions, great figures, and, floats! Be careful, it will capsize if unbalanced at sides.
Pros
floats
good figures
nice sails
good functions
floats
good figures
nice sails
good functions
Cons
shark does not float
shark does not float
Overall, great set!"

Great Ship
Posted: August 23, 2009
"I got this while on vacation to keep my girls busy. It has plenty of minifig and possibilities. It kept 6+ kids busy. I built the model for them ages; 4-7. The removable cabin worked well.
I like how the masts are now constructed and the different colors used. All the animals and the details are great. A anchor would be nice. The Jolly Roger on the sail is a bit over the top and limits side changes. I plan to flip it to the Soldier side in time anyway."

Good Ship but there is'nt a big enough range
Posted: August 10, 2009
"Ok, its a very nice ship with some great features but it lacks playability. Apart from not having another ship to have sea battles with, the rigging and the mast get in the way when you try and fire a cannon. I'd like to see an imperial ship such as the discontinued 6274-1: Caribbean Clipper to fight off the pirates. Since there was'nt any new imperial ships to be bought I went and looked for older sets but I kept coming back to this. Seven minifigures, a shark, a monkey and a mermaid. with three spring load cannon made me think over what I wanted. Over all a good purchase, value for money but lacks playability. The imperials need a ship. You can't the them pulling up beside the pirates warship in a little digny!"

Good but...
Posted: July 19, 2009
"As the only tall masted ship in the pirate range I thought that it would be a good purchase. I was slightly dissapointed. As a set on its own is seems to have limits with playability when compared with other Lego sets of a similar price range. The vessel is nonetheless packed with features such as the pirate captains cabin, detailed gundeck, plank (to be 'walked') and bilge, however, the details lack functionality and seem to be more for decoration than activity such as the crossed swords on the stern.
There are some interesting features, the single cannon on the wheel deck makes aligning the ship for attack a thing of the past however I feel myself being drawn to what I believe is the main disadvantage of this themed range as it stands, the lack of another similar vessel with which battle can be drawn on the open ocean (or carpet depending where your imagination takes you)
Concentrating on the set there are lots of minifigures as well as a huge shark (was expecting the old casting of shark however you can get a minifigure in the mouth of this beast!), mouse (or possibly rat) and monkey with a cheeky banana. Set includes two additional cannon which sit on the main gun deck but with the rigging moving them around inside the hull can be awkward, as can firing them. Found that there is a lack of 'cannonballs' which for three cannon, I would have expected more than seven shot! Also found that loading the cannon can be rather awkward as the shot does not want to naturally slide down into the barrel and missfires can be a common occurance, much to the frustration in the heat of a 'battle'.
Construction is simple with two books and four numbered bags. The hull retains the same maindeck baseplates as the original pirate ships (dark-shark and soldiers cutter) however the bow and stern are now made up of five main 'bricks' in total making future adaptation easier and less limiting. The captains cabin is modular and removable to access the bilge.
I would have expected more features from the set, which if you do buy it, and I'm certainly not trying to stop you, you could add yourselves such as beds for the pirates in the bilge, barrels for 'powder', racks for the weapons, a locker in the bow (as there seems to be quite a lot of empty room here) and a couple of bricks that keep the deck cannon from rolling back when you try to fire them (otherwise an awkward two handed operation where there is only room for one!) All of these can be obtained through the pick-a brick part of the website and will make the set much better.
Overall, I would have expected more from the feature set in the theme but sadly disappointed by the emphasis on detail as opposed to playability. If you have other sets such as the soldiers fort then I can imagine (as I don't have it at time of review) that playability will be much better but as a set on it's own it is sadly limited. 6/10"

Buy Two, Play Experience is Better.
Posted: July 8, 2009
"I bought two of these when in the LEGO store in LEGO Land, CA. When my brothers and I built the first one we knew we would have to open the second to have ship battles with. We used the soldiers from both sets on one ship, and the Pirates on the other. We also used peices from our collection to build both ships upper decks, so that the cannons are now below deck.
Also, since we spent over 75 dollars each time we went to the store, which was twice, we recieved two Chrome Gold Keychain minifgs. (We removed the keychain from one and used it as a figurehhead in place of the mermaid)

Pros:

Ship is very beutiful when built, it looks so realistic
Shark is awesome (way better than original sharks)
Treasure chest with treasure

Just need an enemy ship to shoot at
Posted: June 4, 2009
"This is the best medium sized Ship since the Carribean Clipper!
Hoping for a larger Imperial Soldier ship to fight this one!
I bought the Canon Battle to add a fourth canon to the ship. I replaced the rear swivel canon with a shorter "homemade" one out of extra Star Wars parts.

Cons:
Weak excuse of a crane
No Anchor?!?
Too easy to put together, some instruction pages only had ONE piece to add!!!
The bow and stern base plates are too simple
The rudder is flimsy and small (I modified mine to be bigger)
The Masts are too flimsy too.

Overall a great ship that I will be making modifications to. Mostly reinforcments to its unstable areas... also in my pirate world there are glider-bombers so my ship will have anti-air canons on the crows nest.
The Soldier's Fort goes well with it as a "dock" because it has a REAL Crane. Or the Medieval Market as a "Dock". Just need to apply some imagination here and there."

Posted: June 3, 2009
"this is my first review.
this set is fun to play with! although im not much of a fan of the canons since the broadsides are hard to fire.
although its an expensive set for the massive size and pieces.
ive decided to put pros and cons also, if you buy this with several other sets, u have a full crew. plus, the captains quarters can be filled with treasures. i HAVE seen the old maps (one ship water and an X on an island) and i cant beleive lego didnt take the time to remake it.
PROS : D
very good playability
canons (whats a ship without canons?)
brickbeard (very cool minifig)
sails
flag is more piratey and is not a solid plastic piece anymore.
the one pirate with a green hat and a smile seemed liked the perfect first mate
CONS D :
mast tend to fall apart
hard to fire canons
very hard to put captains quarters on ship without it falling apart
no crows nest
no anchor
hard to build.

as you can see, most of the cons are building problems and detail problems. lego WOULD make it a better set, but with the rising prices of supplies its hard to."

"I liked this ship very much from the very first time I saw it; maybe because it was a new Pirate line or because it reminded me of the legendary Black Seas Barracuda set released back in 1989.
There are a lot of interesting parts about this ship-From new double torso pirates and redcoats to new colors (the boat, the row boat, pirate accessories, the parrot, the cannon etc.) and awesome new shark (I personally like it much better then the old small sharks. This one can swallow the entire minifigure). The boat is pretty well designed towards the back with Captain's cabin being the highlight of it.
The only downfall I see with this set is lack of Pirate crew. Only 3 pirates and 1 captian on the entire boat :(
With that said this set is worth the money and I recommend it to any pirate fan."

"That set is just awesome! Now to the Pros and Cons
Pros:
-HUGE ship with really neat sails and cannons!
-really nice minifigures
-shark, parrot, and monkey
-pieces in rare colors such as the windows
-captain's cabin is big.
-nice mermaid on the front

Cons:
-Way expensive for $100, shouldh have been $70-$80.
-the crane is just weird
-lego forgot to put an anchor!!!
-the cabin as only a printed map (which is originally to the Indy line but lego decided to put it in the Pirates sets =/ ) and a table with a cup, and a stool. There should have been more stuff in there, but as you get more pirates sets you can fill it up with diffrent accesories.
Overall really neat set if you have the money for it."
