>>8718841Been on my to-buy list for a while, seems to be only one or two stores that carry it currently, might want to order one before it's gone. Before I get to it I have the other two sets to show, with this pirate one for starters.
I was pretty sure it was also by Sluban when I ordered it, and the parts bear their M38 stamp which should bear that out; however the figs are definitely not their usual style and there's a slightly rougher feeling to everything, so I'm not sure. What sold me on this fairly cheap set is that big horned skull piece; mine has some scuff marks on the back but that's typical, the front is good at least. The minifigs are interesting, particularly the dude on the left with what I assume was intended to be stubble or whiskers around his mouth that was done in chrome silver for some reason. Middle guy's helmet is also notable, reminds me of something from ancient China. Viking dude rounds out the crew, with his neat helmet and Gamorrean-style axe. These unfortunates are blessed with merely the stickered representations of treasure for the most part, the pair of goblets are nice though. The dock can be raised by a simple drawbridge mechanism and before I forget, I really like the treasure chest. It's much larger than the standard Lego one, very roomy inside and with a nice lid (a pity about the paltry contents). There are other sets in this line but I probably won't get getting them.
