“This is one of the good to have Pirates' set to add into your collection. This set offers a good source of brown and tan parts that allow you to construct a raft or sort it out in your parts bin. Another good reason for collectors to purchase this set, could be the one of a... More kind dark maroon kraken which is exclusive in this set.”

“Not the absolute best Pirates' Raft design I've seen, but this set gets points for featuring an octopus with it (the Kraken) rather then another shark. There's also many new elements included with this set in the way of accessories with a box holding 2 gems, a new coloring... More of parrot, and gold spyglass.”

As the series progressed through the years, more factions were introduced and the older ones were phased out of production. The Pirates were one of the first two original factions in the theme to be introduced.
