Brainslugged Posted November 5, 2011 Nice video! I liked the start and the end. You forgot to do part of the front (triangle) flag. Thanks. I did do it, but soon after attaching it, I knocked the front of it loose and didn't realise till later on. By that point I was waaaaay too jaded to go back and re-do those shots again.

Brinstar Posted November 5, 2011 I prefer the QAR. Whilst I accept it has its fair share of problems (open cabin, excess of annoying skull parts) I think it captures the source material better than the Black Pearl model. What I don't like about the Black Pearl is some of the blatant inaccuracies that could have been avoided, everyone knows the Black Pearl has 3 windows at the back yet the lego version only has two. Its also supposed to be a powerful pirate ship yet they gave it only two cannons. Fundamentally, I don't think it even looks like the Black Pearl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, Equiped with black sails you could call any other ship "the Black Pearl" as well, the Qar really has some details typical for the ship in the movie.

Dreamweb Posted November 22, 2011 Now that both ships are available, I shall blog this poll so that more people see it and tell us which one of the two latest Pirate Ships they prefer. [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp]...soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainBermuda Posted November 23, 2011 The two ships are both pretty realistic, but the Black Pearl is highly unplayable on the deck, which the large cabin makes up for. The QAR is the reverse, the deck is highly playable but the cabin is way too small for playability. I personally prefer the QAR, even though in the movies, i prefer the Pearl.

Legonardo Posted December 4, 2011 Black pearl for me the QAR is in my opinion lacking the classic-pirate feel and the black pearl has that feel it also has black hull parts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kage28 Posted December 7, 2011 Both ships have their strengths and drawbacks, and it would feel incomplete to have 1 and not the other, so both for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skystorm87 Posted December 7, 2011 I've seen the here at the Lego shop in Hamburg. I have to say that it looks much better than in the pictures and it has nice details. My personal feeling is that it is too small to represent the ship of the movie, it really looks more like a toy. So I bought the Queen Anne's revenge, 'cause I need a rival for the Imperial Flagship :-) I'll post some pics of my Pirate layout when it will be finished.

Handoyo Posted February 23, 2012 Bump I faced the similar dilemma a couple of months ago. Decided on the Black Pearl because it's 1) Jack Sparrow's ship, 2) It's black (my favorite color) and 3) QAR has red/crimson/maroon elements (my least favorite color) That being said, I'm disappointed with how small the Black Pearl is.

sharky Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Before, I mentioned I would vote with price. I ended up buying QAR because at the time it was on sale at TRU. This was Nov-Dec 2011. I couldn't pass up the deal. One day I'm sure BP will also be on sale at some point. Then I'll probably end up buying it also.

Walter Posted February 25, 2012 I love my Black Pearl! However I'd love a Queen Anne's Revenge too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluecoupe Posted March 3, 2012 I voted for both. I just finished building the QAR that was a lot of fun. the BP box is calling to me to open it up and have it built too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anti-hero Posted May 9, 2012 Sorry to bump an older thread can anyone point me to comparison pics of these 2 next to each other? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben King Posted May 11, 2012 If we are comparing the sets, I'd have too say it is pretty even. I have the pearl, not QAR, but I think they both have nice qualities and flaws. One flaw with them both is that for the movie the pearl and QAR are the same ship, but QAR is different colored and they added onto the poop deck area, and in the sets it appears that QAR is longer/bigger than the pearl. However, If we were talking about the actual ships I'd say I like the pearl a lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Routemaster Posted May 15, 2012 I have both ships and to me the QAR is definitely more impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zilcho Posted May 15, 2012 Sorry to bump an older thread can anyone point me to comparison pics of these 2 next to each other? I can't sorry, but the QAR is considerably bigger than the BP. The BP, however, has a bigger cabin, which is good for playability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
