Black Pearl Playset

My 3 year old son plays with this on a daily basis. It is HUGE! The masts are very sturdy and don't fall off like the MegaBlok POTC ships do. The only downfall is that a the railings at the very front of the boat fall off very easily. Other than that, this is a great buy!

My son loved the ship we bought him, so we bought one for our grandsons. The only problem is that before they can play with it you have to glue gun 5 or 6 of the parts to the ship or they fall off all the time, which is very frustrating to the kids. They should have made fewer removable parts or made them stay on better. It's a fun toy though!

THIS TOY IS NICE AS IT IS LARGE AND HAS MANY COMPARTMENTS BUT THE SAILS FALL OFF VERY EASILY AND THE PIECES ARE DIFFICULT FOR A CHILD TO REASSEMBLE BY THEMSELVES. MY CHILDREN WERE NOT ABLE TO PUT THE SHIP BACK TOGETHER WITHOUT MY HELP AND THAT MEANT CONSTANT REBUILDING. PERHAPS THE NEXT TIME THE COMPANY COULD MAKE A PRODUCT THAT STAYS TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT MORE AND THEN THE CHILD CAN PLAY WITHOUT THE CONSTANT FIXING REQUIRED TO MAKE IT WORK.

All I have to say is thank god I bought this when it was on sale. I had to scotch tape some of the pieces to get them to stay together before my son could even play with it! I t is a great idea with excellent actions...if only the hinges would stay together. My 3 yr old still evjoys playing with it while wathing the "pirates" movie, doesn't realize that ship would have sunk in a minute!

My son is a POTC fanatic. This was THE Christmas toy for him this year. It's huge and has fun additions to the ship it just seems to fall apart allot. However, he does take this opportunity to make it his own creation. Lot's of pieces - but he does like it. Would I recommend it - maybe. Depends how much your child likes POTC and if you have patience to replace pieces.
