Beautiful, Nostalgic Pirate Ship
on December 4, 2022
Posted by: Eastwood
This Creator 3-in-1 Pirate Ship is awesome to build, looks great on display, comes with detailed mini-figures, and brought back some serious feelings of nostalgia from playing with LEGO pirates as a kid. I love the size of this ship. It’s half the size of the really big LEGO ships but still retains a sense of big ship scale, detail, and features. I particularly like the red and gold color scheme and think LEGO designers did a wonderful job making brick built sails. Although I like the fabric sails on bigger sets, the brick built ones on sets like this and the newer Viking Ship are desirable because they’re not as fragile as the fabric ones and don’t require string or complex methods to hang them. Plus, extra bricks for rebuilding into other sets! All in all, I’m so incredibly happy with this set and display it proudly with my other LEGO ships. Bravo LEGO! Hoping for an Imperial version soon!
My daughter has been I love with everything pirates lately. So of course we needed to purchase this pirate ship when it came out. The building was easy enough for her to do with help. We were curious to see if it would float so we headed to the beach to set sail. Unfortunately it didn’t.
Perfect! The son became interested in pirates and was very happy. He assembled the ship with great interest. It turned out to be a very beautiful ship.
At first I wanted the lego pirates of barracuda bay set but it was way out of my price range. So I looked for more pirate themed sets and this set caught my eye! So anyway after getting it and building it I knew it was worth the money! The ship it’s self was a little to small so I modified it and made it longer and it’s every thing I hoped for!
Gives us nostalgia of the pirate theme of old. It is a great set with lots of cool features, but has a certain lack of minifigs. With four minifigs, plus a skeleton their is a lack of crew for the ship. If the added two more, the set would be perfect. Even if caused the price to increase 5, 10 dollars, it would be worth it.
I really enjoyed the primary pirate ship build. Compared to the original OG pirate sets with pre-cast components making up the hull and masts, etc, this was intricate and satisfying.
My only ding against this set was I built it after the 3-in-1 castle set, and all three builds in that one were extremely satisfying.
Both of the alt builds here are good, the inn is very cool, and the island has a skull that actually is articulated, but compared to the intricacies and discoveries of the 3-in-1 castle set, this feels too much like an also ran. I enjoyed the set and the builds, I think the pieces to $ ratio is excellent, and I would absolutely buy this for a lego fan, but, for me, it's missing some of the details that make some of the other creator sets so satisfying.
Love pirates! Cool ship. Complements Barracuda Bay

Only got back into lego after barracuda bay retired and was on the fence between this (since it's still on shelves) and the aftermarket. Opted to get Barracuda Bay in aftermarket and I love it... Although Barracuda Bay can be built back into the ship, I prefer it in island Form as there's more of a story happening than just the ship. Thus, I wanted a ship and opted to get this as well. In the end, I getting both, lol. It's detailed for the size. It looks way better in real life than on the box IMO. Worth the money. Barracuda is the better set, but this is also great for the price, size and piece count... Very nice detail with everything brick built. I didn't build the shark however, it looks too silly. Brick built sails are interesting too. Not ever bothering with alt builds, although they in itself look great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your sharing your thoughts and posting these awesome pictures. We see you've found a great place to display it. Aye Aye, happy sailing!
Good and fun 2 build the only few problems where there were only 4 minifigures it would have amazing if there were around 6 minifigures but regardless this is a amazing lego set 2 keep displayed
