Lots of fun, and very durable November 14, 2007 James Huff (Los Angeles, CA United States) 26 out of 26 found this review helpful
We bought this pirate ship in October 2007, and haven't had any of the problems with it coming apart that some earlier reviewers mentioned. (Perhaps the 2007 version is improved?) We're actually very happy with this toy--it is very well designed, with just the right balance between functionality and durability. There are lots of things to do (raise/lower the sails, the anchor, fire the canons three different ways, etc.), and everything works well and holds up to the normal amount of abuse that a four-year-old and his 2-year-old brother can dish out. One of our kids' favorite toys, and one of ours as well.
2007 Is new version November 6, 2007 Bill B (NJ) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
My son got this last Christmas(2006), and we were all excited. But within days we found the ship kept coming apart even with very little force applied while he was playing. It soon docked to the side of the room and made a voyage every once-in-a-while when my son saw something pirate like, but then was left for us to clean up and repair.
I don't know if the 2007 version is better, but it certainly looks better with a lot more features. If the ship's hull comes apart in various pieces, I would hesitate to buy it. Try it out in the store first if you can or don't be afraid to return it if your child gets frustrated after a week(keep in mind your store's return policy)
If it was fixed for 2007, it seems like it would be worth buying. It only gets 3 stars for fun because of the frustration the 2006 version causes
My daughter loves it! October 26, 2007 Rebecca Burke 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
My 3 year old daughter really loves pirates (think Wiggle's Captain Feathersword). When she got this for her 3rd birthday, I was not happy - she was supposed to be getting the Little Tykes version. She absolutly loves it, as does my 5 year old son, and our 40ish year old neighbors and their teenage girls! The only downside is there are lots of small accessories that can easily be lost. Other than that, this is really neat!
My son loves this ship! October 20, 2007 K. Hansen 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
My 4 year old got this for his birthday. He hasn't been one to play with toys much. He prefers video games, so to keep those kind of things to a minimum, I am looking for toys to keep his interest. He has played with this nearly every day for a month, and still seems excited about it. He likes the cannons that really shoot, the sails that open and close and the figures. His older siblings enjoy playing with him too.
It encourages open ended play and imagination which is great!
Glue Would Help October 14, 2007 Mrs Mike 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I bought this for my son's 4th birthday this year. While he really enjoys playing with it, he get frustrated that it falls apart VERY easily. My husband finally glued the hull of the ship together (leaving everything else to be able to pull apart) and that did the trick. This is a good step up from the Little People pirate ship.
