You again? :)
I have only actually owned two of those, the Renegade Runner and Cross
Bone Clipper. The CBC is out, and I don't think the RR can stand up to
some of those nicer Imperial ships. While I've owned none, I think most
people will agree that the least of the three remaining would be the AF.
So, it is a match between the IF and CC.
And I think they are really close. I reaaaally wanted that Imperial
Flagship when I was a kid, to go with that nice SES, so I might be a bit
biased with memories of drooling over catalogs and set inserts. I'm not
awful familiar with the CC, I only remember things such as the presence
of blue/white sails and a yellow bird. Since I don't know both sets too
well (having owned neither) I'll have to say a tie between the Imperial
Flagship and Carribean Clipper.
On the topic of pirates...and this has probably been done a gazillion
times down over at lugnet.pirates (I tend to float around Star Wars
myself)...shooting cannons, arghh! I got ahold of a few about a year
ago. Now, as a kid, I would have been able to put these things to good
use, but now...I dunno, I just don't "play" with LEGO like that anymore.
But I still think they are awful cool :) . I remember having the
mini-figs load my dead cannons, and then I'd have to take the cannon(s)
off to let gravity pull the 1x1 round out. Sad stuff. I really feel
that us in the US really missed out with these.
