This is great! Although it is a castle set, it is reminiscent of some of the great Imperial sets of before, including the Caribbean Clipper and Renegade Runner. The figs are great, as is the overall design of the ship.

I just bought this last week on eBay for 10 dollars(Fifteen if you include shipping) It's absoloutly awesome! The ship design-great, five figs, extra weapons, it's a really cool set.

I like it. The ship is a little small, but intoresting. The figure count is great. It realy is bad that lego hasn't continued in this direction. It would be cool if lego created a sort of atlantien style faction.

for me, this is the best castle set. nice ship, five minifigs, lots of weapons and shields. and you have the grey helmets, which are always cool to have, with factions they usually don´t have this kind of helmets.
i think i have 10 of them. all of them of ebay. you can have them for 6 - 8 €, thats a great price for those figs and parts. its the best castle ship also....

I luv this set its one of my favourites. I think the dragon on the sail was an awesome idea, the whole thing is just well designed. I wish i had bought more of these...

A great little set!

If I recolect rightly this was my first castle set ever! It has a great fig selection and enough weapons to make me happy. The sail is a nice print and the blue color scheme is very attractive. Nice part selection considering it's a ship!

If this set was to be realesed today I would buy a couple!

This was a magnificent little set. I wish I had more than one, so I could have a small fleet. One a scale of awesomeness from 1 to 10, with 10 being Chuck Norris, it's about 9.6.

spectacular

I thought this set was great due to it's combination of two "clans" and the simple fact it was a ship. It looked very authentic and had a neat sail as well. 10/10.

One of my favorite sets for sure!

I really loved this set as a kid. Falcon Knights were my favorite faction too so that helped raise my opinion of this set too. Very nice model too even without all the mini figures. I agree the sail was well done as well.
