was strange to have these as leftover pieces but couldn't find where I

original BSB and the 4 pieces were used under the rear mast:

Apparantly they now use 2 2x4 bricks instead, but still included the others.
Also, I noticed that the hoist with the treasure is different from the original:

They have added a few plates to make it stronger or something. I've been
kinda suprised about the lack of noise here on lugnet about the re-release
of this great ship.
