The archive footage in this series is pretty cool. Its also amazing how great the series looks! The restoration was fantastic, looks like it was released yesterday.

My son adores this ship and plays with it every single day in the 6 weeks since Christmas. No pieces have broken and all the moving parts work just fine, after much abuse from an active 3-year-old.He may love the ship, but I LOVED the packaging. What a great idea! Less waste, easier to unpack, ready to play with about 30 seconds after he unwrapped it. Everything arrived just fine with nothing lost or damaged. Thanks for creating this simplified packaging and please offer it on more items!

My 3 year old nephew loved this toy right out of the box. He plays with it all the time and takes it with him from room to room. The best thing about it is that it does not make any noise so he can use his own imagination and make his own noises. I would definitely recommend it.

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!

I got this for my son's 3rd birthday because he likes pirates. He and his 5 yr old sister have had so much fun playing with it. I love all the neat things that it does: shooting cannons, pirates that sword fight on the back (aft?) of the ship, the sails go up and down, the anchor can be dropped and raised, and the flags, rails, emblems can all be rearranged so it holds their attention for a long time. The only drawback is keeping all the pieces together- my daughter likes to scavange parts to play with her little pet shop pets. It has been very durable and we haven't had any problem with it. Another bonus is that when William usually plays pirates he grabs his sword and starts the attack. When he plays pirate with this ship the attack is kept in his imagination, where it belongs. I would buy it again.

I bought this pirate set, as well as the Imaginext castle set at two years, then three years. The parts are very durable, with the exception of the cannonball extenders. My son is now turning four and STILL plays enthusiastically with both sets. Lots of fun and imaginative play. Worth the money... also, always check Target brick and mortar stores for sales on Imaginext. I haven't paid more than $39 for these.
