He's a big LEGO & LOTR fan, so he was really excited when he opened it. He's now had it for over 3 months and still likes it just as much. Says it's one of his favorite lego sets. While pricey (I guess that's just how LEGO is now), it's a beautiful set. The boat is a nice size and has fun little details that I imagine both kids and adults would enjoy. My husband is one very happy owner of this boat, would recommend to anyone you love who's obssessed with LEGO, if you don't mind dropping this kind of money on a \"toy\" (don't tell my husband I called it that). ;)","review_amount":"150","rating_original":"4.8","rating_converted":"96.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/brickset.com\/reviews\/set-79008-1","snippet":null,"review_amount":"7","rating_original":"4.2","rating_converted":"84.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.brickpicker.com\/reviews\/set.cfm?set=79008-1","snippet":null,"review_amount":"3","rating_original":"7.47","rating_converted":"74.70","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.hispabrickmagazine.com\/content\/2013\/05\/07\/review-79008-pirate-ship-ambush\/","snippet":"The set comes with many minifigures and they are all very detailed. I was especially delighted at the detailed and completely different patterns for the dead, and the inclusion of Corsair Jackson is the icing on the proverbial minifig cake. The set contains a small number of stickers for maps and some wooden decoration which add to the set, but in a discreet way. The printed shields are simply beautiful.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"hispabrick","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.brothers-brick.com\/2014\/03\/31\/lego-lord-of-the-rings-pirate-ship-ambush-79008-review\/","snippet":"This set has a decent balance of minifigures, parts, play and display value that will suit fans with different plans for what to do with it. Surprisingly there are no spring-loaded cannons in this set, and the flick-fire missiles are not a good substitute. The major drawback is the heavy price tag.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"Nannan","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tPyhzvQSZjI","snippet":null,"review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"Jang","embed":"<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/tPyhzvQSZjI?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Embedded video from YouTube\"><\/iframe>"},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.eurobricks.com\/forum\/index.php?\/forums\/topic\/83273-review-79008-pirate-ship-ambush\/&do=findComment&comment=1613935","snippet":"Weird choice as a set, but it works both as a LOTR set as well as a pirate set. The design is rich in detail and features some very smooth edges here and there. The sails I also like quite a bit since they give the ship a very sleek look.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"Lego-Freak","embed":null}]}
