| (...) Depends on what you mean be a lot. I have about 40 true conquistadors, but I've drafted about 20 of the new Castles guy in breastplate and Kettle Helm, the helmet being swapped out for the armada Morion helmet. Makes a great armored pikeman or (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| Does anyone have a LOT of the Armada guys? I have looked around on the web and no one seems to make big bases and such for them, and I have been working on it I just need more of the guys for my generals and Conquestadors(spelling?) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) That would be a decent deal, especially if you got the Mindstorms on sale. I paid about $170 for each of my 6286s, but I was also very patient. One came from the AucZilla 500 sets auction (w/o minifigs) for $170, the other came from a Tom (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.market.appraisal)

| 6285 compared to 6268: the first one you own for the 'looks' (the original owner build it in real also mostly for show-off...!), the second one is best for playing. My kids (6 and 9) are allowed to play with all my Lego-sets, and the ships with easy (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) From a playability standpoint, definitely the SES is better, but as more of a modeler or wargamer, those "playability" features don't add much. The BSB is easily modified to have a 4 gun broadside (check out my RSB). The capstan on the SES is (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) I'm afraid my favorite is the SES! But it depends on how you are looking at it. Built to the instructions, I would take the SES over the BSB anyday! But if you are looking for parts, then I would take the BSB over the SES! Reason being is that (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Sorry to disagree: in terms of playability, the SES definitely is the better ship - the more when your ships are equipped with shooting cannons. While it is quite difficult to shoot cannonballs due to the very limited space on board of the (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)
