I drooled over this set for a long time and finally got it back in 1995. It was a fun little set, but I think that by now I've managed to resell a bunch of the parts so I wouldn't be able to rebuild it. I'm glad I got it.

I like it, because for a dinky little 'vikingesque' boat, it had some great stuff. First and foremost, it came with a handful of characters. Plenty of shields, weapons, oars, and that awesome sail. It had great playability and I remember having extending it to be doubled and tripled in length with no more than the addition of a red six by six plate and some black 1 x 6 bricks.

Great set, a real classic as far as the feel of the Black Knights.

I have 2 of these... Already the amazing minifigs have been pointed out. Mostly my reason for getting them at the time. The only pieces I don't care for are the blue turret tops. A similar set now, not neccisarily a boat, but "something" with 5 figs that have excellent torsos (looks like they really are castle, even from a historical perspective), helms, weapons and shields for around $25 would be most welcome!

As Commander Redbeard so aptly put it
... well, like Theoden said, alas that these evil days should be mine.
We're all in the same "boat" here :roll: :cry:

I always wanted this set, but never was able to find it in stores. :cry: I has great figs, alot of shields the nice BK flag, and the blue turrets. Very nice set, 10/10. If this was a legend, I would be broke. :wink:

This was actually my first lego set, that I can remember. I was only 6 at the time and was the biggest set my parents would buy me at the time. I really enjoyed it, it included alot of figures/accessories. It provided hours of playtime for me and I would really like to see this set as a legend. I would not hesitate to get 10 of these to make a large Black Knight fleet.

If I had money enough I'll buy 100 of them.
And I'd get it bigger. :).

Very small, but an idealistic cog or so. I wish I had one of these, as Castle-era ships have always intrigued me. When I saw it I'd always think, NEAT! A CASTLE SHIP!
Packed with rare parts, are real deal.
10/10

Love it. Great minifigs (five!), great boat, great set. I like the fact that it has both Black Falcons and Black Knights. For it size it is awsome. :!:

Well. I did have the money, and it got a lot bigger. It was the root design for the Viking Longships I took to BrickFest PDX. The pix of my largest ship are on the main site.

I got 15 of these bad boys. IMHO these are the best castle boat, best medium sized set, and the best army builder all in one. And it did come in a pack with two smaller sets for a while. I remember raiding the local Toys r Us for these guys. Ah, the heyday of lego castle. Will those halcyon days return? Lego, are you listening? :?

I don't own this set, but I'm starting to think that 1990-1993 sets worth it.

This is the best Castle ship ever. It's a really nice one. The color scheme is great and the number of minifigs too.

The dragon on the veil is cool.

I should get one.

One flaw however. The green and yellow flag are nice together, but has no sense with Dragons.

9/10

My only regret about this set is that I only have one. It's awesome and also comes with 2 of the torsos I'm collecting (the armored ones not the Black Falcons although I do like those too). Also the sail is a extremely valuable piece. It also comes with a lot of shields which are rather hard to come by. One of best castle sets ever. Defenitely in the top ten.
