I bought this lego set for my son's sixth birthday.He was ecstatic!This ship, when finished, is a site to behold. It's all black finish lends an air of coolness worthy of Jack Sparrow.After building the set for an hour or so my son said "I am so excited to finish this I can barely breath!"It took him all evening and later the next day after school to build it, but he has kept it intact since then.Although the ship says it is for 8-14, my six year old built this nearly by himself (he got a little frustrated with a stubborn corner piece.)I am getting him the Millennium Falcon for Christmas.Great instructions and engineering for these unique lego sets!It is also currently the only way to get Davy Jones, which also made my son very happy.

From Bricks To Bothans

by Tommy "roguefx" Williamson

Overall We have to say this is a good set, with some minor disappointments. While Connor is pleased with the realism I have to admit I think it could be a bit longer, and not sit quite so low in the “water". I'd like to see it with one more hull section and a slightly larger cabin in the back with a few more play features. As it stands it's a little difficult to get a figure in the cabin and really all they can do is sit in the chair at the table. It's not clear if the hinged sides are there for play access or just to keep the lines of the ship.
