Amazing experience
on April 20, 2020

I love all the hidden details in the build. It’s a great throwback to the original LEGOLAND Barracuda pirate ship. My only complaint about this product is how difficult it was to convert it from the shipwreck to the actual ship. But that doesn’t change my thought about this set. It’s not only a fun play set it is a really good display price that would look good on anyone’s shelf. It’s one of my favorite LEGO sets in my collection, and I would not hesitate to recommend this to a friend.

The perfect set
on April 4, 2020
Posted by: FloridaBrickBuild
Easily the largest and most complex set I've ever done! Absolutely beautiful and detailed, with some unique build techniques. My only critique is that some of the details are hidden inside when displayed as a model.

Absolutely Fantastic
on August 5, 2020

This set takes me back to my Lego Pirate days with my cousins and brothers! We had all the islander sets and many of the pirate sets, though we only had two of the tallships (Skull's Eye Schooner and Redbeard's Runner)... Forget those filthy imperials... The freedom of pirates on the high seas was our thing. This set is a great mix of ship and island! The build was fun and has a lot of the old ship building elements with a few new techniques. Great as a solo build or with family. My son constantly asks me to pull out "the old boats and bits" so we can build the original designs or build our MOCs. He was more than thrilled when this behemoth set arrived! All in, this is a fantastic set! I might recommend buying two so you have the best ship so far and the extras to beef the island up while Captain Redbeard is out in his newly upgraded Barracuda!

New Favorite

$1000s in LEGO sets over the years and this has dethroned my long time favorite (Ewok Village) as what I consider the best set in my collection. This set feels like an amazing value with a footprint nearly the size of Apocalypseburg at $100 cheaper and it doesn’t feel any less, in fact I consider it significantly superior.
Like Ewok Village, this set makes for both incredible play and display which you can find (to an extent) in many sets but this set has done exceptionally well.
On YouTube, some reviewers complained about the transition from island to ship. The transition is incredibly easy and I had no trouble at all reassembling the boat back into the island from memory. For a child, I think it might be challenging but someone older ought to be able to assemble the basic ship in 5 min or less (without sails) once the island is finished, it’s very intuitive. The sails can be finicky because you will not want to crease them and some of the rigging takes some time.
I love my modulars, I love my UCS sets, but this one beats them all.

Amazing build!!

This build is worth everything. It brings me back to my childhood playing pirates with my twin brother. The details are intricate and no room is left untouched. The complete build fits together in a set that is either for display or play- even though I’m 25 you best bet I’ll be playing with this one! It’s an amazing deal for the price, wonderful colors, tons of bricks, and a great building experience. I am super happy with this set, and you will be too.

Ooooh East? I thought you said Weast!

Weast? What kind of compass are you reading lad? The yellow minifigure on the front of the ship reminds me of similarity of Charlotte from National Treasure. First of all, let me say that this set doesn't disappoint. It's very unique and cool. It's a must buy for sure! I knew it wouldn't last long online, so I didn't miss my chances. It just took two weeks to get here. There is almost no repetition, if any at all. There is a small error on step 308/309. The small claw listed as a piece in 309, is actually in 308. It threw me off a little. The cannon works good and cool, the decorations are well done, with the pig and shark being added. It's nicely detailed. The 3 in 1 is a plus and its in a tropical atmosphere. Please consider this set, its very worth the money. Did I mention? It's bigger than you think.

A wonderful set with a great nostalgia factor
on August 5, 2020

My first LEGO set was the 1989 Black Seas Barracuda, which was given to me as a used set on my 6th birthday in 1995. I became a LEGO fan from that moment onward. While I never really became a major LEGO pirates theme fan, as my interests in different LEGO themes grew, that set always remained my most treasured, used, well-played and worn LEGO set until it was lost in house moving.
When I found out that LEGO is putting out this set, I could not contain my excitement to buy it and put it together. I used to pretend my 1989 Barracuda was shipwrecked and this set just hits me with all those memories and moments.
This set is fantastically designed with so much care put to how it would look once it is made into its shipwrecked format or its fully assembled ship format. The quality of the pieces are as always 100% LEGO quality. The high cost is understandable considering the piece count, mini figure count, and cloth sails. Its a enjoyable build, with great potential for display as an assembled ship, or just for playing.
