“These sets are great for army building. They also come with many accessories. However, if you could only get one of these, I would recommend that you get Pirate Survival. While it doesn't have that many weapons (and has less pieces), most of the pieces are accessories, which... More is very good.”

“One of the best impulse sets of all time and definitely an essential one for those whom are keen to build a core pirate crew cleaning and washing your deck.”
