Most of the mid-size to large Imperial sets. Cannon Cove, Sabre Island,
Imperial Trading Post, El Dorado Fortress are all sets I like on one level
or another. The Trading Post is my favorite outside of the BSB.

I find the Crossbone Clipper pathetic. It's the only pirates line ship that
I actively dislike. I like some better than others, but overall I like
every ship except this one. It takes a fair amount of parts to convert it
into anything respectable. The best thing I can say for it is that it
inspires you to build MOC pirate ships. :-)

| (...) The best thing I can say for it is that it's a relatively cheap source of the Priate Wench minifig. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not my favorite set or anything, but the presence of the Wench raises it a few notches in my estimation. (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.pirates)
