Wrong RBR, on the other thread, RBR stands for Rebel Blockade Runner,
not the Red Beard Runner which had the casually used acronym first.
I'm sure the Red Beard Runner was known as something else in Aus catalogues,
Dark Shark ? Not as catchy perhaps.

I've got an old catalogue at home that has the 'Dark Shark' in it. On
looking up the set number on LUGNET it turns out this was an alternative
name for the Black Seas Barracuda.

Glad I put that (?) in there, I wasn't sure something with a red hull would
be considered 'Dark', unless it was RBR (Rebel Blockade Runner) Dark Red  :^)

The Red Beard Runner (6289) was rereleased as the Pirate Battle Ship (6290).

Pirate Battle Ship...very ho-hum.

(...) Up here at least the 6290 was labelled on-shelf as "The Marauder". (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
