I have a problem with the one piss Going Merry set.
I like it...but why doesn't it have a visible keel? It feels like a complete oversight
For those unfamiliar, it's eventually a big plot point that the ship's keel is fucked up beyond repair. This is how the Going Merry ultimately dies.
There is nothing they can do because if the keel is destroyed the ship is essentially on borrowed time before it just completely falls apart.
So where the fuck is it? I get it, it makes way more sense to have a flat blank bottom as a display piece or even a play piece...but this is one of the few times it actually fucking matters. At least a thin plate underneath if you're going to make it flat. Maybe it's because it's based on the live action and they probably won't get to that arc. Yet for Lego which loooves it's stupid fucking easter eggs they couldn't include a simple nod to one of the most important parts of the ship? LAME
