We bought this for my daughter who plays lego "communities" with her two brothers. She likes the number of characters you get with the set. In a sense she uses it as a "build it yourself" dollhouse. Amazon usually charges much more for Legos then the local stores. But in this case the price was reasonable and Amazon was one of the few places to still have it in stock.I love buiding lego sets with my son, who is six, but I especially like it when it has surprising features. This one has a cannon, trap door and a chute to foil enemies as well as a capsizing bridge. A true build it and play with it adventure set.Excellent but it was missing one small piece... did not affect ability to buildI bought this for my grandson who I believe can put these together with his eyes closed! He loves Lego and spends hours playing with them, taking them apart and creating new versions. He's extremely creative and Lego really promotes this in children.good item for Lego collecters for the Castel and Lord of the Ring and Piret of the cARRIBIAN and for all Star Wars fansAlthough I think these advanced Lego kits are highly overpriced, my grandson loves them and he was thrilled to get it.Das Piratenset kam gut bei unserem 5-Jährigen an. Es hat auch viele interessante Dinge: Piratenflagge, Mastkorb, kleines Boot, Kanone (ganz wichtig).Leider sind diese Piraten-Legos beim Hersteller vergriffen, sodass man leider mehr bezahlen muss als früher.Comme decrit, excellent. Cet ensemble lego a été construit à plusieurs reprises et a donné des heures de plaisir et de joie éducatif à mon petit-fils ... et son père!
