I bought this item as it was the cheapest price I could find online. The delivery was super quick and I am in the process of building it now. Look online for a detailed review. This is the best lego pirate ship ever and if kept in good condition will be worth a fortune one day.

This set isn't really for the younger kids, it's not necessarily a complex build but, it has a few fiddly bits- once it's built though it's great fun! Just be careful! (It's great for a challenge)

With children approaching their teens, lLego has become an extremely popular activity in our home. Whether it is Harry Potter the excellent City series, or more adventurous models like this one, all of the latest models exude a quality and charm that makes this an ultimate toy and unparalleled play experience. Best of all, it is something that parents can enjoy doing with their children.

In case it's been a while since you last played with Lego, it has come a long way in the last decade. It is still an extraordinarily clever building system that can be used to construct a multitude of different structures, vehicles and other objects, but it has evolved into a number of kits the construction of which results in stunning models. They take time and effort to complete now. And when you're finished the sense of achievement is extraordinary. So much so that you'll be very reluctant to de-construct the resulting models. If you do, you'll be able to re-assemble them as many times as you need. The design and fit of individual components is superb.

This amazing ship is one of the very best examples of Lego construction kits. It has a number of custom parts as well as the usual range of bricks. Obviously, the pieces don't need to be glued together, but the process of construction is complex. It will take days rather than hours to complete. I strongly suggest you create a special area for building it - well away from small children and kitchen tables that need to be cleared for lunch and tea!

As the ship takes shape, you will marvel at the many details it includes, from the Captain's cabin, the cannons, the figure head and the rigging. The way in which the model has been engineered is a marvel to behold. The assembly instructions are equally well thought- out. During construction, you may think that a particular piece is missing, but in all my many years of buying Lego no unopened box has ever been lacking in a single component. Just check the plans and you'll see what is needed.

You do need to be fairly systematic when you start building it otherwise the many pieces may confuse you. Best only to assemble it bag by numbered bag according to the instructions, but also to divide each bag into colour-coded parts before you start. A couple of times my daughter thought Lego had got it wrong. They had not. We were mistaken. Interpreting the instructions correctly and overcoming various problems you encounter is all part of the 'fun'. When we first started the massive number of pieces made the project seem daunting. When we finish, we felt hugely proud to have built such a work of art. The completed model is a thing of great beauty. (Just don't see if it floats in the bath!)

Congratulations to Lego for producing a simply amazing product. It was expensive, but worth every penny. More like this please.

Totally ridiculous price tag

Totally unreasonable.

J'avais deja acheté un navire amiral , j'en ai commande un autre tellement j'avais aime faire le premier !!!

le seul reproche au niveau du montage c'est les sachets non numérotés du coup on passe bcp de temps a chercher pièce par pièce si n n'as pas fais le tri avant ^^

mais malgrè ça le navire une fois monté est époustouflant!!!

Eines der wirklich hervorragenden Artikel aus dem Hause Lego! Auch Erwachsene können an diesem wunderschönen, detailgetreuen Segelschiff ihre Freude haben - auch, wenn es "nur" auf dem Regal steht: Lego hat sich hier endlich einmal wieder etwas sehr Schönes einfallen lassen, dass auch die Herzen der Älteren noch höher schlagen lässt!

Aber Achtung: Mit all der Takelage ist das Schiff recht sperrig und für einen guten, am besten erhöhten Platz zur besseren Ansicht sollte gesorgt sein!

In würdigen Händen ist dieses Spielzeug seinen Preis tatsächlich wert!

After purchasing several Lego Star Wars sets for a 9 year old boy, I became intrigued by this set for myself (over 50 adult). After reading several reviews, I decided to take the plunge and buy my first Lego set for myself. I have helped my little friend build a couple of his Star Wars sets, but he has quite the knack for putting these sets together better than I can. I struggled the first night trying to find each specific part from one of the several bags they were placed in. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason one part or another is in a certain bag, and with over 1500 parts it became a chore to find that one little piece. I smartened up the second night and opened all the bags and separated the pieces into groups based on color. Voila! Building was a snap after that. Veteran lego enthusiasts probably knew this already, but to a novice like me, it made building the set a much better experience. It took me about 4 nights to complete the ship. The detail is fantastic! All the way down to treasure for the chest! The finished ship is big and proudly sits on my living room mantle. I enjoyed building this so much, I purchased the other 2 pirate ships! Amazon price by far is the most reasonable, but be patient and only buy directly from amazon. Prices fluctuate, but if its high, put it in your cart and wait for it to come down. I did that and within 2 weeks I bought all three ships. My 9 year old buddy has the Queen Anne's Revenge and Black Pearl on his Santa's list and come this Sunday he is in for a very merry christmas courtesy of Amazon, I mean Santa. Ho Ho Ho

Ce jeu a autant plu à mon fils (29 ans) qu'à son beau-fils (9 ans) ;) Ils ont vraiment passé un bon moment ensemble à le monter. Le résultat est magnifique.

One of the biggest disappointments about the Lego Pirate System of old was the fact the the good guys' ships were considerably smaller than their Pirate counterparts. Not this time though. Lego probably should have given it a different name though; not that anyone could possibly mistake this one for the smaller one. The overall design of this ship is fantastic. Lots of sails, lots of cannons (although it would have been cooler if they included 8), and lots of room on this ship. The captain's quarters is nicely detailed (desk, map, telescope, and organ). The kitchen looks great too (table, utensils, carrot, oven with chicken legs, and a cook figure). There's even a jail cell to lock up Captain Redbeard . . . . or I guess this one's called Brickbeard. The anchor is nice and can be raised or lowered. As for the good guys, there's the admiral (or maybe he's supposed to be Governor Broadside, I'm not entirely sure), the leader's daughter, a commanding officer, and 4 soldiers (this time they get different faces). I should note that these cannons are considerably more effective than the old ones. The shark masthead is an odd, but nice touch. Oddly enough, there isn't a crane to lift the treasure chest. The masts are actually brown to look more realistic. The price is high for this set now, but it is worth picking up if you're a fan of Lego Pirate sets or old and/ or new.
