It's always a tossup between 6285 Black Seas Barracuda and 6277 Imperial
Trading Post for me. 6285 is absolutely the best ship, and what would
pirates be without ships. On the other hand, 6277 is a beautiful little
port with a nifty little merchant ship (the pirates need something to
capture). Additionally, that little merchant ship features prominently
in Evil Stevie's Pirate Game as the ship pirates start with if playing
the campaign game.

6276 Eldorado Fortess is definitely a nice set.

For the smaller sets, Sabre Island is very nice.
Ultimately, when it comes down to it, I like almost all of the pirate
sets. The later ones are not as well designed, but the concepts are
still good.
