I see your point. I guess that it all goes back to the label on the boxes
that says ages 5-12. I can't fault them for making the sets gimicky, but like
you, I wish for a little more 'meat and potatoes' in the box. It can be
frustrating for us, but when I see kids play with the sets they seem
absolutely satisfied. Bottom line is that more kids get legos than adults so
their desires are catered to on a larger scale.

That makes sense to have a larger boat. Your desire to have a big boat and my
desire to have islands tells me that there is still a strong desire among
collectors for anything related remotely to the Pirates line. Your point
about coral and volcanoes in the Mediterranean is well taken. I kind of put
my foot in my mouth on that one, duh. Well, take care Jacob, I always look
forward to your thoughtful responses so keep 'em coming.
