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)

Hi, it's Jono..... I've been noticing that there has been NO even RELATIVELY interesting talk here!!!!! ...lol......anyhow, I figured I'd start something up: Which set do you think is better, the 6285 BSB, or the 6286 SES?? Give reasons why. Jono (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)
