I'd pay $500 for a set like that.

The flag thing cracks me up! The flags will go the direction the wind is blowing them, since the wind is blowing into the sails, the flags will be blowing toward the front of the ship, the same direction the ship is traveling. It is not at all the same as a flag on a motorboat or car!

golly you're right! hmmm, gonna have to change it maybe but I really like it!

Here is my version of TLG's "Black Pearl". Had to use two sets. The cabin is big enough to hold "Captians Cabin" set including the globe as well. (I had to upload this pic as a file? Can't figure out how to embed anymore, I have lots more...)

Well, I just bought 3 of these at Target, lets see what I can make.

Just got a brand new in box 10210 Imperial Flagship (my third) for $150 garage sales are wonderful! Gonna hang onto this one maybe and sell it in a few years see if I can make some money off of it since I play with the other two.

Every single one, including the islander boats and the one in the trading post. Also have multiples and MOCS... would be fun to get them together for a picture.

I'd say maybe you could get 10 bucks for it if you are able to sell it at all. If its not new and sealed, that particular set has almost no value as it is not at all sought after like some of the other sets. Basically, its a piece of crap set.

I put my "flaming skeleton" in a more of an upright position, also raised the cannons by one flat 2x4 which alows them to stick out the ports at an angle of your choosing, much better.

When I made my pirate version I got the front end to be rock solid, I could hold the whole ship by the front. Supported the whole structure in kind of an upsidedown L shape, used some tech peices too, all belnded in very nicely. Can't remember all the details but there are a million ways to mod a ship, strengthen it, and get it just how you want. Wish I had pics to show how I did it, but it should be easy to figure out various ways to do whaty you want.

Just bought TWO sets of these together for $81! Amazing!

I have bought a few with only minor parts missing (not like a canon!) and sails in great condition for around $70. Complete good condition ones can goo for near $150. There is a complete one on EBAY right now for a buy it now of $129. The ridiculous priced ones are the ones that are sealed new in the box.

Has anyone noticed that the QAR used to have just striped sails in some of the early pictures we have?

I see, not the one I am looking for... which I don't think exists. You can get the instructions easy enough online, I'm sure you know that. Congrats on getting them for .50 tho, awesome!

Which two sets? The non existant set number 1996 set from 1994?

Great, if that is the case I think I have every set!

Nice Pictures! I have been on the fence with this set!

Evidently, in 1994 there are two sets that were made that for the life of me I cannot find a picture of or any information about them. 1994 SETS CAN'T FIND ---> 1996 Pirate Island CAN'T FIND ---> 9206 Pirate Value Pack Are these actual sets? Mystery sets? Anyone have one? Thanks for the info all. I think I just about have every lego pirate set, but these two from '94 are evading me! HAVE FROM 1994: 1795 Imperial Cannon 1729 Barnacle Bay (1871 Pirates Cannon, 1872 Soldier’s Forge, 1873 Pirates Treasure) 1733/1713 Shipwrecked Pirate (ARE THESE THE SAME SET?) 6236 King Kahuka 6246 Crocodile Cage 6256 Islander Catamaran 6262 King Kahuka's Throne 6264 Forbidden Cove 6278 Enchanted Island

Ha! I've thoght about selling it to fund more projects. Here is a youtube vid of it... kinda long but you get a good look at it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIPiMpHI2Ek

Speaking of changing color schemes, here is another pic of my pirate version...

Every set except: Ship wreck hideout, and any of the islander sets. And I have a bunch of duplicates for sure.

I just bought this today MISB from a guy who found it in old storage at his house with a bunch of other legos. $80! Basically perfect shape with some small scuffs on the box. I am not a MISB collector so I'll probably see what I can get for it on e-bay. Plus I already have this set.

That is awesome! Its fun to see the creative ways you can get other people involved with your legos.
