pieces, washing and ironing the sails, and my kids started playing with it, and
I starting thinking, "Hey, this is a pretty cool looking ship!"

So now it sits on display as a constant reminder of the power Lego has over

It's funny; Pirates did the same thing to me.  I was totally uninterested,
then I got a Red Beard's Runner cheap.  I finally ended up with nearly all
the current Pirate sets.  They are one of the rare examples of themes were
we've packed away all of the sets, so that we can rebuild them and play
with them when we want.
