The Redbeard Runner ($99.95), Armada Flagship ($49.95), and the big Islander
set ($69.95) have all been available at TRU, at least in SoCal. One can
only hope that they will eventually go on sale again, but since they are not
in wide release, I wouldn't depend on it.
Thankfully, I can afford to hold out. Unlike Chris Weeks (peeking over at
another thread) I spent $60 a month for about 8 months building up my pirate
sets when the aforementioned ships were on sale for $55 and $25 when the
line was originally ended. I went from 2 to 17 ships (CBC was also on sale
for $15). I was lucky to catch the last gasp of Pirates. But I'm hoping
that either the SES or BSB comes back out as a Legend.
