Now we all know that the Black Seas barracuda will represent itself very
well here, It is the first flagship set, and one of the most detailed. But
I want to know who really likes what out there? There are some great sets
in every pirate year, but which one do you love personally? Why? Is it for
the parts, is it for the figures? Is it for the playability, Innate
coolness, bang for the buck? Who loves the small sets? Lets hear some
chatter out there!
My personal fave has got to be the Eldorado Fortress! I mean never mind the
fact that there is no place for the soldiers to eat, sleep or live, it has
got great parts(yellow castle walls!)(Darn that Frank Filz for outbidding my
sloppy sniper attempt today! JK!!) It's got shooting cannons! It's got 6
soldier figs! a perfect ratio of officers and enlisted men ,Including
Governor Broadside! Lets talk playability here, It's got a crane, and a
cellar to store stuff in. Plus for coolness, you've gotta love that rifle
covering the front ramp! And don't even get me started on that clear wine
glass! It's such a cool set that I don't even mind that lame dock!
Wheweee! Don't even get me started on Sabre Island (Cheap source of wall
and soldiers, even a palm tree to boot), or the Trading post (gotta love the
merchant ship)You see what I mean? This is just the tip of the iceberg! I
want to know why people love the crossbone clipper too! (someone has too!)
Lets talk! Jon

| (...) While I do love my BSB, I'd have to agree with Frank's earlier post about the Trading Post. Great base with the small ship that ties into Evil Stevie's Pirate Game, which is why I started buying Legos at 25. (...) The friend that gave (yes, (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Most of the mid-size to large Imperial sets. Cannon Cove, Sabre Island, Imperial Trading Post, El Dorado Fortress are all sets I like on one level or another. The Trading Post is my favorite outside of the BSB. (...) I find the Crossbone (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) I agree that the Pirate series had some real shining examples of what TLC can do, but my personal favs are two and in-seperable: 6277 Imperial Trading Post and 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner. Man I could go on ALL DAY about why they are great sets, (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.pirates)
