Pirate Ship Ambush Reviews

HispaBrick
“The set comes with many minifigures and they are all very detailed. I was especially delighted at the detailed and completely different patterns for the dead, and the inclusion of Corsair Jackson is the icing on the proverbial minifig cake. The set contains a small number of... More stickers for maps and some wooden decoration which add to the set, but in a discreet way. The printed shields are simply beautiful.”

The Brothers Brick
“This set has a decent balance of minifigures, parts, play and display value that will suit fans with different plans for what to do with it. Surprisingly there are no spring-loaded cannons in this set, and the flick-fire missiles are not a good substitute. The major drawback... More is the heavy price tag.”
