Sorry for the confusion - I was referring to all of the sets as a whole, not
just the big ship. It's difficult to see what a kit is actually like with the
smallish pictures Lego has on their site. Having actually built one, Sean, you
can see what it's like. It was late that night and I was tired - I guess I
wasn't thinking too straight. Are the new 4+ sets as good as the old classic
sets? No. Do they have many useful pieces that can be used to make the new
sets better? Yes!
I'm just happy Lego has released ANY new pirate sets - many of those pieces
(muskets, rowboats, treasure chests etc..) have been pretty scarce since 1997!
Thanks everyone, for posting.
Aaron :)
