Best Buy Ever
Posted: April 20, 2009
"The set was AWESOME! I definitly recomend it, to all who want the best set in lego history! It was great for a toy, my 11 year old and my 7 year old are mesmerized with it for hours, the longest they have played with it straight was for 5 hours straight! It is a great purchase.
P.S they bought it with their own money!"

A really fun set
Posted: April 19, 2009
"This is lots of fun to play with and create different adventures with. My brother built it in about two hours. This is our first LEGO pirates set and it was great!
Pros:
-8 minifigures, as well as 4 animals (mouse, parrot, monkey, shark)
-Cannons really do fire
-Roof comes off of cabin so you can play inside
-Details like a water barrel under the cabin make the set interesting
Cons:
-Sails take a little while to get on and off
-Doesn't really float
Overall, we have really enjoyed this set!"

Nice set!
Posted: February 18, 2009
"This is a very nice set. The shooting cannons are good, and I like the stern chaser (cannon at the back of the ship). However, the Captain and sails look a bit too cartoony. Also, I think that LEGO could have really put in two cannons per side, not just two rotating ones. The set could use a few more mini-figs and is very pricy, but overall it is a good set."

Brickbeards Bounty
Posted: February 15, 2009
"Brickbeards Bounty is a very good set. I would recommend it to all pirate lovers. It is also good for beginners, it only took me 2 to 3 hours to complete. The things I don't like about it are, that it was a little pricey and there's these rifles that are in front of the ship that are in really bad spots. Plus, the princess doesn't have legs! But, other than those things it is a good ship."

Beautiful Pirate Ship!
Posted: February 14, 2009
"This set is AWESOME!
Te ship is incredibly detailed, especially the captains quarters at the the stern and the mermaid figurehead. The size is also quite decent, especially at the price that I paid for it. All the golden parts make the ship look gorgeous.
To sum it up,
Pros:
Huge!
Very detailed
Fabric sails
Giant shark
Working cannons

Great for kids.
Posted: February 2, 2009
"As an ADULT collector of lego pirates I was super excited to add this to my collection. Unfortunately this ship looks out of place in the same waters as the old legendary pirate ships. Luckily the pro's outweigh the con's and make this set worth it. It's a beautiful ship with a beautiful princess now go save her!
PROS:
Rich looking ship
Gold treasure chest
New shark
Lots of Cabin room
Beautiful Princess(Admirals daughter)
Beautiful Mermaid built into front of ship.
Better constructed sails than older ships.

Awesome!
Posted: January 31, 2009
"This is a great pirate ship. It has just about all the stereo-typed pirate stuff and then some. A Pirate with a hook hand, and a peg-leg, an eye patch, with a skull and cross-bones hat. A Treasure chest with gold and jewels, a parrot, a plank, and a shark. Also many other cool stereo-type stuff that you will have to discover if you purchase this set.
A few other things that I failed to mention, the sails are made of cloth, I really liked that. It also has Three cannons that shoot really great and far. Two cannons on deck, that you can put on either side of the ship, and one to protect the rear of the ship. The only thing that would have made this set better, (in my opinion) would have been two more cannons to put on deck. Besides that, this could be the best lego pirate ship thus far."

Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me!
Posted: January 17, 2009
"Here is a pirate ship that is commemorating 20 years of Lego Pirates! This set has a lot of features like pearl gold elements, an Agents shark, pirates, soldiers, and a mermaid! Lego hasn't made a mermaid figure since the Harry Potter line! Onto the Pros and the Cons:
Pros:
Dual-sided torsos.
Mermaid
Sharky
Peg-Leg, hook, and Bicorne hat for Captain Brickbeard
Epaulettes (The neck pieces on the Soldiers and the Captain)
Treasure
Firing Cannons
Monkey
Flintlock Pistols, Cutlass Sword, Musket Rifles and new telescope piece
Gold Elements (This captain must be possessed with gold)
Tricorne hats and plume
Shako (The tall stamped hat on the Imperial Oarsman)
Cons:
No anchor
Should have cannons at all bays
Blue rowboat and White Oars (Must be Imperial Trademark)
Not enough treasure
Needs more pirates and cannon balls
The skull and crossbone looks strange
Net falls apart too easily.
Should have a new dynamite piece
In the old days, there used to be a working compass on the Lego ships
It's a bit pricey
Overall, this set is excellent with some improvement needed. I highly recommend it. All Lego has to do now is come out with an Imperial Flagship and maybe conquistadors and Bluecoats Soldiers and Islander Natives. I salute you on this one, Lego!"

Hull pieces are back !
Posted: January 15, 2009
"Finally a pirate ship,
I bought as soon as it was possible,
(pro's)
-the Hull pieces, this is the only (buyable) set that has them
-the cabin is made out of some dark red bricks ( I love that color)
-minifigures, the pirates look very good, they even have a print on their back

BUT if you make an other ship with its parts you get amazing results.

"Bricks and tips: 2 brickbeard's bounty
I love the pirate sets! However, the bad news is I am to old for these sets... :-( However if lego makes a challenging, ages 12+ set, I'd love it!
Bricks (features):
Good build
great array of weapons
cannons
cool minifigs
a couple plots to play with and you can MAKE UP YOUR OWN!

Big sets can take awhile. When you need to focus on somthing else, but don't want to leave your station... play with the minifigs or get some cheese cake.

Take note! There are quite a few bricks, take note of what your building, how your building it. This will help you build your own adventures
and ships!
and ships!
Expand! Add the Soldier's arsenal and Pirate survival sets to make bigger battles.
Save your $! As a lego builder you will find your motor skills devoloping, this will lead you to bigger sets. However, don't spend it all on legos! (I know it is BEYOND tempting) Maybe get Brickmaster magazine?
That's it for this issue! Check back for more!"

"This set is an absolute joy. We bought it for our daughters who adore it, and, having been too old for the pirate range when it first came out, have thoroughly enjoyed "helping" them to play with it.
I know there is a real following for the original pirate sets - Black Sea Barracuda etc etc - but for me, this is without doubt the finest pirate ship Lego have ever produced.
Why do I say that? Firstly it looks the best - great lines, great colours, great equipment. Secondly, it looks the most like a sailing ship from the age of pirates - the windows of the great cabin, the lamps, the figurehead etc etc. Thirdly the construction - it's surprisingly simple to make, sturdy and easy to play with; for example the cabin roof comes off and on well, and the cabin itself can easily be removed to access the hold. Fourthly the number of figures and the extras it comes with - plenty of figures to crew it, the governor's daughter, the soldiers, the huge new shark mean that on its own this set provides a huge number of play options without the need to buy others to pad it out.
In summary, this is a beautifully designed, and well thought out set that is full of the magic of Lego that I remember so clearly from my childhood (original yellow knights' castle anyone?), and that I can see my children experience when they play with it.
Any drawbacks with it? No. If I could add to it, I would have liked 2 more cannon so it has ones for each gun port, and a crow's nest at the top of one of the masts for a lookout would have been a nice addition. Of course, you can always add them yourself - like a few more pirates to peer over the side before they board some unfortunate foe, a chest of weapons or two, a scuttle-butt on the deck for water... The only limit is how much time you want to allow your children to play with it rather than using it yourself."

The pirates are back!
Posted: January 3, 2009
"I personally missed the first lego pirate era, but I, like other lego pirate fans grow with excitement and high expectations for this new wave of lego pirate sets to come. First off, this is a good set, has an impressive scale, unlike it's predecessors. It also comes with a variety of stuff, such as a monkey, a parrot, and of course, plenty of plunder. Where it falls sort is it's price/piece balance. This set will cost as much as 130$ CAD and for that u only get 592 pieces, which is a bit dissapointing. The ship is well crafted, with a variety of interesting and new colors, so it is very beautiful to look at. But one cannot help but notice that the ship appears incomplete, such as the lack of a deck, a forecastle or an interior. Not to mention a lack of some obvious necessities such as cannons, and of course, pirates. In fact, there are more weapons to go around than there are lego pirate figurines. Oh, did I mention there is no brig?...For such a price, frankly, I'd expect more from lego, not less. However, if you wish to start up a fleet of lego pirate vessels, this is a good start. The set also includes 2 soldiers and a boat, and a lady in distress, which u may (or may not) rescue from them dirty pirates. So, in the end, it's a fun set, not fragile, easy to build, and comes with a variety of accessories. But again, the price is quite steep for a set that should of been fuller, with more lego figures, and more exciting features."

One Of My Best Sets
Posted: January 2, 2009
"This is an awesome set, I picked it up in the Lego store in Brighton and just had to have it, I had been thinking about getting the new Lego Pirates sets after I got the spring?summer catalogue. Anyway, onto the set.
The set is huge, it is very long and hugely tall (much taller than I expected anyway) it has crows nests so the pirates can keep a watch for the soldiers in their rowing boat, rigging of course and the sails which are canvas and very good apart from the little writing which can be annoying ,but it's only tiny so that really doesn't matter.
On the deck there is loads of space to act out fight scenes or a battle as well as two firing cannons! They are great. I love the gunning ports. There is the deck with the wheel and the captains cabin which has great details. There is also a net for holding prisoners. On the bowsprit there is a figurehead of a mermaid as well which is a neat touch.
The minifigures are brilliant, there are four pirates (including the captain with a peg leg and hook) two soldiers and the Admiral's daughter.
Overall - 10/10"

"This is set is almost perfect. I have no problems with it, except for a few things...
The main problem from this set are on the masts.
The main problem from this set are on the masts.
The masts I got were a bit curved; don't know if the other products will have them curved. Though, after you put the flags in the masts, the only thing that will hold it from falling off the mast is a brown, coned-shaped piece. However, it is very loose and can easily fall. Therefore, if you turn the ship sideways, the pieces will fall, and the flag will come out. I suggest you strengthening what holds the flags. This has been the most annoying case as of now. But you don't necessarily need to turn the ship sideways to see this, you can do an accidental hit on the ship, and the pieces will fall.
*The ship only contains two cannons with wheels, even though there are four available places.
*The deck looks a bit unfinished, but there are no practical problems.
Finally, there is a little rat/mouse that comes with the set, which is not on the description.
A bit too pricey, but definitely worth it. I am pretty sure this item will become "Hard To Find" soon."

Bountiful Battles Await!

"By far the grandest of the new Pirate series, Brickbeard's Bounty is the first full-size Pirate ship we've seen in a while. I am definitely pleased with this set, but it lacked that "oh my god it's perfect" quality.
The build is divided into 4 bags. The first 2 contain the minifigures and the basic hull of the ship, the 3rd has Brickbeard's cabin, and the last bag contains the masts, rigging, and anything else left out. The build is quite fun, and the instructions are easy to follow.
Minifigures:
I am very pleased with the minifigures that came with this set. They really make playing with the ship very fun. The minifigs are printed on both sides (like every other pirate set) and the Imperials make quite an impression.

Body/Hull of Ship:
The ship actually has plenty of space to move and position the figures. The 2 cannons can be positioned to fire out of any of the 4 openings, and the ammunition baskets can be removed and replaced easily. For some strange reason, there are 2 cannonballs in one basket and 3 in the other. Under Brickbeard's cabin, there is a rat and a keg. Not much else to say about the hull.

Brickbeard's Cabin:
This is the best part of the ship. It is very fun to build, has nice colors and elements, and it fairly simple. At the back, there are 2 crossed swords, and the back wall is actually slightly tilted. The windows and doors are nice, but the interior is somewhat empty. On top, there is the steering wheel and the 3rd firing cannon. Sometimes the entire cabin won't attach completely very easily though.

Masts and riggings:
The masts are very stable and the sails stay on well. The net is well attached, but it can't move very far like the old ones. The mermaid was a good idea, but in my opinion improperly placed. If you brush the pole supporting her slightly or lift it up, she spins out of position.

Final Thoughts:
I was generally pleases with this set, but there were several disappointments, like the mermaid, the net, and the generally plain design. Many of the old pirate ships had "useful" features like sails that fell down or cabins that fell apart, but Brickbeard's Bounty is generally "special-functionless". It is a very huge and grand model, with amazing playability and great minifigures, but I would expect a little more from Lego on this one. It rightfully deserves a solid 4. Good work Lego, but try to incorporate more special functions into future models."

Brickbeard's Bounty
Posted: December 29, 2008
"I got this set for Christmas, and I love it!
Pros
shark (can eat minifigures!), monkey, mermaid, and parrot (most being new) are awesome!!
really long/tall
cannons shoot really well
soldiers, the 'damsel in distress', and the rowboat are nice additions to the already fantastic set
swords, rifles, guns, hats, and the 'double-sided minifig torsos' are really neat
Cons
not many details on deck or in captains quarters
there are four places for cannons to shoot through, which is cool, but only two cannons on wheels. not so cool
TERRIBLE price-piece ratio. about 600 pieces for $100!? I think the main reasons for this is that the hull pieces are really big, and there is practically no interior, but the size of the thing plus all the fun you will have with it probably makes up for that (at least in my mind)
I would definitely recommend buying it, and good job lego, keep up the good work!!!"

Pirates make their return!
Posted: December 27, 2008
"My favorite LEGO theme was pirates from the 90's, so it goes without saying that I am thrilled with the themes return. I have most of the new pirate line, and I feel that this is the best by far. It has the return of the firing cannons, something missed by all LEGO fans, a great color scheme that makes you feel like this ship really is owned by a pirate living in the lap of luxury, and of course, the INCREDIBLY detailed bodies.
The color scheme is one of my favorite things about this set, because if you compare it to the 90's equivalent, it looks stunning. LEGO has used almost ENTIRELY new colors, such as metallic dark grey cannons, pearl gold details on the captain's cabin, dark red throughout the ship, dark beige and dark brown on the gun-ports. These little details make it look truly amazing.
The minifigures are great- what pirate is complete without a gold hook-hand, an eye-patch, and a peg-leg? The governors daughter and the mermaid are great, female figs are harder to find. The pirates are good, but the real stars of the series are the marines(guys in red coats), with their absolutely wonderful torsos, greatly improved hats and new feathers, they are my favorite thing of the series(along with the governor).
All in all, Im very impressed with LEGO with this set, and I hope to see the pirate line expand, especially to include sailors, maybe give them and the marines a ship. Bravo LEGO, bravo."
