“It took me 4 hours to build this ship and the process is generally interesting. Nothing is repetitive and the building of these "collapse" mechanisms do add a lot fun to build.”

One of the best ships in the classic Pirate line — “This set is great. Great design, good figs, and overall has to be one of the best ships in the LEGO classic pirates line! Overall great set. Get it if you can't get the Barracuda, Brickbeard's Bounty, or any other of those big ships.”

About Pirates

Pirates was a LEGO theme introduced in 1989, running until 1997 and focused on the classic idea of Caribbean pirates that were pitted against soldiers of colonial empires. 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.
