Dreamweb Posted January 25, 2016 Arr, I remember buying this set mainly because of that boat! It's always great to have more diversity to your boats. Plus you can use that statue for some Islanders stuff. It's a very useful set for Pirate fans, If you can get it I suggest you do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really liked Orient Expedition sets,but somehow i missed this one. I guess i got the boat from my cousin. I found this set MISB for 20$. Should i buy it?

blackdeathgr Posted January 25, 2016 Check price at BL. The set has a crocodile, an Inca hat and a nice little steamboat with nice equipment. I guess price is ok. Not cheap but ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamweb Posted January 29, 2016 Apart from that one, the Orient Expedition also had the Emperor's Ship, another very useful set for Pirate fans and a perfect base to build a smaller ship for your fleet. In fact, when it was still in the shops, this was the first new LEGO set that I had bought in a long while. Some time later I also got the jungle river to get that grey boat.

Boettner Builds Posted February 15, 2016 I have a few of these : http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?colorID=8&itemID=52723 They are brown in colour. But I have one that is redish-brown. I can't seem to find out where it came from. You guys have any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamweb Posted February 15, 2016 If you mean red over brown, then it's from set 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boettner Builds Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) If you mean red over brown, then it's from set 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner. Nope. I have a couple of those too. It most definitely is reddish brown on reddish brown. Now that I've looked at it again and compaired it with known "only comes in reddish brown" parts, I think that its just in REALLY good shape and colour!!

Dreamweb Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) So it's not in reddish brown after all, just old brown? Well if that is the case, then it kind of sucks... Theoretically, this hull piece is not available in reddish brown. Why theoretically? Well, this preliminary picture shows that at one point the Viking ship was supposed to use the old version of the LEGO Pirates hull in what seems to be (light?) grey top and reddish brown bottom (after all, Vikings were released in the bley/reddish brown era). The final version has a completely different hull obviously, but who knows? Perhaps a reddish brown version of that hull made specifically for that prototype exists somewhere in the LEGO headquarters.
