I got a flagship and I suspected mine was a Japanese set since the catalog
that came with it is in Japanese (at least I think it is Japanese).  The
canon
on mine also fires and is different than the cannon on my Cross Bone Clipper
(6250).

I got my 6280 is two days:  Ordered on Monday, delivered to my office on
Wednesday.  The woman who took my order was extremely pleasant.  At the
time I ordered (about 9:30 AM EST) she said there were only 13 left.  I
don't
know how many they started with.

Once again, LEGO Shop at Home delivers in less than the
time they told me it would take.  I got the order that I
placed on Monday (Armada Flagship and Night Lord's Castle)
today (Friday) - they told me it would be 'a couple of
weeks', but I guess that means '5 days' in LEGO-speak.


Now, on to the meat:  I immediately assembled the Flagship
because I only got the NLC for parts. (Sorting tomorrow?
I have the feeling my NLSO won't let me sort on Valentine's
Day...)

While I was putting it together, I came to the cannon.
When I picked it up, it looked & felt odd - different from
the cannons from the Wild West and Ninja sets.  At first
glance the only thing I saw was that it didn't have the
embossed crossed swords that the other cannon did...then
I happened to look at the barrel.  It was, as everyone has
no doubt guessed, a firing cannon!

How odd.  I wonder, were all of the Flagships shipped out
for this Phone Special european versions, or did I happen
to get lucky?

Anyone else buy the Flagship?

(...) How odd. Somehow I don't think the pirates line did too well in Japan as here in the UK I can currently buy the huge islanders set - don't ask me the name or number, I cannot remember - for 20UKP in Tesco's. This is the set with two 32x32 (...) (26 years ago, 13-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
