My goodness! That. Is. Cheap. Captain Redbeard's Pirate Ship is $USD 39.99
while it is EUR 79.99 here! I don't dare to ask the currency converter how many
$$ EUR80 are.... (OK, I did, and it would be about $100.) For EUR39.99 even I
would consider buying this ship.
> All of the other sets are inexpensive too - just imagine all those parts!
Well, most of those parts are useless dirt, way too big and un-versatile and
newcoloured anyway. In any case not worth spending EUR 80 for just some red
spindled fences and scimitars.

Erm.. You are reffering to the 4+ Pirates with "the good sets", are you?
Honestly, Captain Redbeard's Pirate Ship is blushing in shame compared to the
Black Seas Barracuda 6285. Even the Red Beard Runner 6289 (harhar, they are
quite inventive when it comes to names...) is better than this pile of POOPs.

Skål!
