Trudop561 Posted July 5, 2008 What are your criterias when you choose to buy a pirate set? Is it the amount of minifigures, the pieces, the number of canons, the number of jewels in the treasure chest, etc??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shoc Posted July 5, 2008 What are your criterias when you choose to buy a pirate set? Is it the amount of minifigures, the pieces, the number of canons, the number of jewels in the treasure chest, etc??? I don't think I've actually bought either of my two pirate sets myself, but I would definately say I'd buy one for the nice design, the cool minifigures and good pieces... May I ask, why is it that you want to know? :skull: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fluyt Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Basically it's a mixture of the things you mentioned. But mostly it is for the minifigs (especially if I have the set already)+ sometimes when there's really nice pieces in the set, like lattice windows, I would buy it partly for that as well. The other parts are mostly a nice and usefull extra. I don't often buy a set just for its design, since I mostly do not intend to keep them that way, but occasionaly I build a set (with a nice design, like BSB) for fun and inspiration.

Anubis Posted July 5, 2008 I Usually choose by finding which ones would make be good in a MOC, or simply which ones have more useful parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capn Frank Posted July 9, 2008 Right now, i'd probably focus on sets containing Shakos cause i'm about 35 shakos short of 50 for my Constitution Marines if pirates were released. Although in general, i'd go for sets that come with bricks that i'd like to get and as many desired figs possible. So it depends on what figs and bricks you'd like to get.
