Well having put together the big ship in preparation for a round of Evil
Stevie's Pirate game at Northwest BrickCon (shameless plug) I can say that yes,
when it comes to versatility, there's a little left to be desired. However,
having only paid $40(US) at the Lego store and taking about 20-30 minutes to put
it together, there's nothing better for the Pirate game.
However, the base is solid and your average builder can put a heck of a lot more
customization on top of that base. Besides the fore and aft castle, there's not
much in the way of lumps. However, comparing it to the classic sets simply
cannot be done. That's why they put the huge "4+" on the front. =P
