Migration Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Got it, I never had anything other than space sets when I was a kid. Missed all the old castle, pirates, and city. It's a cool ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincevaughn Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Oh man black seas baracuda! Always wanted that one as a kid to go with my skull's eye schooner. Very nice, I imagine that one is for your collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akohns Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 SUCH A GREAT SET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 I paid $65 for it, not a steal by any stretch, but a solid price. Yea, going to hang on to it for now. I have all the other sets from the 1989 Pirates wave from my youth, this was the only one I didn't have. (Too pricey ) I know I am in the vast minority, but when the 2nd tier came out, I didn't like how they personalized the minifigures so much more. Part of me liked the generic soldiers and such. I think too much detail in the legos took away some of the "imagination" factor, for me anyway. It also coincided with my teenage years, so that may have played a factor as well. Little did I know what was to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supergman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Wow, I have one, too, from the early 80's or whenever it was. My son has it now. Ah, the memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little did I know what was to come. the second wave was when I was in my prime LEGO days....thought they were really good until about the time the native islanders sets came out. That was the death knell of classic pirates :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
