Why do you have an extensive knowledge of mid millennia ship terminology?

[@withmuckguy3362]

*much happ shark*

[@boy_ka84]

13:03, After you make the comparison, it seems for me that the Black Sea Barracuda is more like a pirate ship rather than the 3 in 1 pirate ship.

[@JANGBRiCKS]

@@117johnpar Hahah I grew up working on old wooden & steel sailboats. I forget way more than I remember though.

[@xeron_7433]

Although we don't have a full-on Pirate theme, I hope that sets like this can sell well enough to encourage Lego to do more like it, and for different themes too, would be nice to get a large Creator Castle and perhaps even Creator classic-styled Space. Great review as always!

[@ObeseGiraffe_]

Xeron _ they got my $100 already!

[@blakearius]

They shut down the lego ideas castle in the woods.. and all I hope for castle returning.

[@medicusvulneratum3125]

What? No more castle?

[@labdG]

My gosh! I just realized the skull on the sail has a stud untop of the head because it's supposed to be a lego skull. xD Like I said, this set is just so charming.

[@zaittsev]

Good catch! That's an amazing detail! Thanks for pointing it out!

[@helikod7792]

Love the shark.

[@OW12354]

Best lego shark I have ever seen!

[@DanielA-no9xv]

You just cant keep this man down

[@jltnichols]

I feel like the pieces of this set would also lend themselves very well to rebuilding into a winter village style set - there is a lot of white, red, green and gold available.

[@shaneatkinson4184]

Just to let you guys know, in case you didn’t already know, so the eye on the shark are supposed to be happy and cute but if you want you can turn them upside down and they look like their mean

[@TheToodlesTeam]

Maybe I'm just a sucker for pirate-themed LEGO sets, but I really love how this 3-in-1 turned out. The ship is lovely, with a lot of great little details. But I really like the other two builds as well! If you were a kid wanting to take it apart and rebuild it, there seems to be a ton of bang for buck here, just in terms of the fun that could be had with each build.

[@pseudonymousbeing987]

My goodness that skull on the flag is absolutely genius.

[@villelepoaho4105]

This is a good ship to dock in the Barracuda Bay.

[@Inconsolable_Weeb]

I got that reference

[@pnpn3477]

The 31109 set is the most epic of all the pirate ships released by Lego, starting with the iconic Barracuda 1989. The color combination is almost perfect, the size is great - not too big, not too small. It seems that many fans of the Lego pirate line only care about the size of the ship. And no one appreciates how many awesome things have been crammed into such a small set as 31109. Sails made of bricks are awesome for two reasons! 1: Over time, they will not be damaged like fabric sails, 2 You can build/place any logo or inscription on these sails, also change their texture, shape, size, etc. And fabric sails ... well, they turn yellow, they deteriorate and will still look the same. Please note that in such a small ship, the lower deck is made for guns, which is not present in many iconic Pirate ships from previous years. An additional platform was also added under the first sail, which was also not done in many previous models. The shape, size and finish of the ship as well as the proportions of length to height and width are PERFECT. The texture and amount of detail blew my mind. Compared to the new barracuda, it looks much better and more interesting. The construction entirely of small blocks makes it look like a sculpture. The barracuda next to it just looks dull - it's flat and featureless and its square angular front of the upper deck looks just plain ugly. Barracuda is a bigger model, but it's simply simple and doesn't really bring anything new to the Lego Pirates line. I can't understand why brick fans don't see the genius and perfection of 31109. For me, it's the best-looking Lego Pirates ship ever made. Adding that you can build the other 2 options from it is great. The tiny minuses are the steering wheel, only two cannons and a small number of crew but these are really details that we can change ourselves. I could write a lot about this small but brilliant set. I bought it for Christmas (I couldn't believe how cheap it is!) Now I look at it every day, touch it and play with it every day. I predict that after its withdrawal from the official sale, its price will jump really very high. And I will repeat again - those who admire the Barracuda and often ridicule this smaller ship. Look at him and take a closer look at him and appreciate how this baby is baked and brilliantly built. This set is a dream come true for many AFOLs including mine. I've been waiting for this set for 30 years! :D

[@Cromell]

I really like the customisation potential of this set - personally I got myself two and built a single 3 mast ship with relative ease, and it was a blast modifying it!

[@danielversion1.035]

This was a true LEGO pirate ship! Excellent value and a brilliant build. If you don't have one and you're on the fence about getting it... GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!! you won't regret it 😊😊

[@twinceptionproductions6083]

This is a fantastic model, I love all of the small details! And a personal aside: as a sailor myself, I very much appreciated your use of proper terminology!

[@kingwolf9447]

If they gave you a plate to close the deck,you could use the hull for storage,and move the cannons to the top deck for easy access. Or have 4 cannons per side if you have more.

[@jolemaire6629]

I want a royal soldiers 3 in 1 set to accompany this fantastic set!!!

[@Valiant_Savage]

It would be interesting if Lego made a $300-$500 pirate ship set that is sort of on par with sets like the Colosseum and Titanic.

[@JanKustersSittard]

For a less friendly shark, just turn the eye upside down, e voila, angry shark! Great 3 part review Sir, thank you!

[@nosir5596]

I think my favorite part of this is that you can leave the big jolly roger off the front sail and it would make a great 'civilian' sort of merchant ship for the older pirate ship sets to prey upon, there's never really been much in the way of ships to be the victims of piracy in Lego other than one tiny ship from the old Imperial Trading Post in the 1990s. Having the hold area where you can configure it for cargo is a nice plus too in that regard. Do agree about having a cover for the hold but at least it has a built up top deck you can modify to have a cover, something else that's been missing from many past pirate ships. Overall even if it's a smaller ship than the Black Seas Barracuda and some of the other big pirate ships it's at least something kids (who are lucky enough to have both) could play with together, or if you were setting up a little 'action' display you could have pirates boarding the smaller vessel. Overall I think it's great. Still wish we could get pirate themes happening more regularly, but it's nice to see the little mini-revival this year.

[@KimonFrousios]

It's great that they started including spare clips and I hope they continue to. The little buggers are prone to breaking if you are not gentle and delicate with them and even the accidents happen.

[@Lego4LifeProductions]

I think I’ll get this and Pirates’ Bay and have this built as the ship, and the Bay built as the tavern/island.

[@joevictor53]

I was thinking the same. Nothing against the pirate bay's ship configuration. It's just this as a ship and that as the bay are better together than that as a ship along with one of this one's side builds

[@kade4503]

Creative!

[@jkarhiaho]

I have the Pirates of Barracuda Bay set and I built the ship and then built a custom built tavern island using the rest of the pieces of the set and a few from my own parts collection. If I were you I'd build the Barracuda ship, because it's just excellent!

[@biscuitsandbricks3666]

Pirate bay is expensive

[@andygard9032]

From a seven-year-old viewer: "I liked the ship because it has a lot of the same features as my Black Seas Barracuda pirate ship [vintage set 6285]. When I grow up I want to build a Lego pirate ship where when you steer the wheel, it turns the rudder. Thanks for the video, Jang!"

[@paschalisantoniou974]

Build it a few days ago, and it is quite an eye magnet!!!! It is such a great ship, and I think that it is Lego's most underrated ship. It is far better than older sets that sell for a lot of money if you can get your hands on one. Also, the fact that it is fully brick build opens up the way for a ton of MOCs!!!!!With 2 sets one can build a terrific ship!!!!!! I agree on the amount of figures, a couple more should have been better but hey......at least we got ourselves a descent pirate ship!!!!! PS: You rotate the shark's eyes to give it an angry/aggresive look instead of a happy one :-) Great review btw!!!!

[@SirNarax]

When I was still a kid me and my brother collected Lego, I the Pirates and he the Castles. I always wanted the Brickbeard's Bounty, my brother got the Castle but I never got the ship. Partially because I was the younger sibling but mainly it was always out of stock when my parents were ready to actually get it. I didn't know at the time but the Ship was the only set from the shortlived 2009 pirates theme. Just recently I got what childhood me couldn't and while it is not the same ship I am almost glad I never got that set because It made obtaining this one every bit better. I love it and now as an adult I can appreciate it's design far more. It looks great and was fun to build. If more pirates come I may become a lot poorer haha.

[@matthew_thefallen]

I love this ship! The only thing is that my OCD wants all 4 cannons, or at least one on each side and not two on one side! haha

[@iconicnzz6414]

I feel like that puppet monkey meme when he goes on about opening all the bags to build sets. I've opened all the bags to my sets since I was little, it was the only way I knew how to build lol. I wouldn't say it painful, I've just gotten used to it over the passed 16 years lol.

[@defenderprime8046]

Now there's a pirate ship that I'm sure most Lego fans would be happy to possess! I think it's one of those Lego themes that fans would like to have again, very nice review of that Creator set, Jang!

[@TheRightPart]

That shark is really cute and well built! The highlight of the set for me. The colours on the Pirate Ship though look a bit cluttered. Wish they stuck to one primary and one-two secondary colours.

[@sagichnicht6748]

To be fair though, real sail ships could be pretty colourful as well, especially around the captain's cabin.

[@yaqbec23]

The ship is the biggest part of 3in1 but honestly I prefer the Inn, maybe because I prefer buildings in general.

[@communistbird8080]

Same

[@MayoHosko]

Same

[@TheMainCore]

I really like it. Might get it, like the smaller size, makes it easier to display it.

[@kingwolf9447]

Should have included a rope piece or 2 for rigging the front most sail and back most sail above the wheel.

[@Dezz259]

I wanted this ship since I saw your reveal stream of it Jang, I literally got it as soon as it was available and I'm in LOVE with it, I think it's an amazing mid-sized ship and even goes nicely with my Ninjago Movie Destiny's Bounty! Great review as always man, keep up the awesome work!!!

[@bloodangelphil]

Video teaches you a bit about what's on a ship too. Nice! Might pick it up next month.

[@mbphilipblack8993]

I love that this is fully brick built, I'm definitely going to get this set but that'll be mid 2021. I was fascinated by the building techniques and the fact that it's apart of the creator theme is amazing. And the price of 90 is more than fair.

[@deang5386]

I got this creator Pirate Ship a few months ago. It's an awesome set with lots of play features. Just the right size to play with unlike the bigger ships. Recently got the Gift with Purchase set 40597 Scary Pirate Island and some other extra pirate mini-figs to really bring this set to life.

[@Xiteri]

I really like how the insides are colored red and green , on the proper port and starboard sides , and those green and red parts are later used in the other builds.

[@Sam-iw6te]

I love this! Creator very seldom disappoints. Im getting this. And I'm usually a star wars only guy.

[@silverlady1118]

I have enjoyed all 3 reviews, great set, no deck is a miss, but overall fantastic, brilliant shark Thanks for reviewing ☺

[@Sektorax]

I am collecting the pirates of the caribbean theme but wont pay that much for the black pearl so I thought about this as an alternative this video really helped decide on buying this set

[@MihaiD259]

I have this and the ship looks great. A cover would have been nice for the deck but if it had a cover probably we would complain that there is nothing on it, no decorations or some other pieces

[@nunatak123]

Built this the other day. Really good build, very sturdy and some cool techniques used to angle the sides too

[@cheesegod4695]

Finally the third! They've been amazing. Keep it up!

[@MattRuthless]

There's a Rebrickable moc that uses the left over pieces from the Skull island to build a fully decked out smaller ship, it's awesome.

[@Crackalacking_Z]

I'm blown away how good that set is.

[@johnnations5932]

GREAT review. Man, Jang, you really push the bar up again and again in Lego KZbin review style, content, and especially the way you use English. I almost can't watch the other "big" Lego youtubers because they butcher, rush through, and copycat their weak English (and these are native English speakers from North America I refer to now. And I like lots of their content! just not the awful way they talk!). I hope all will learn from you that a sincere, real voice is immeasurably better than the stilted, affected and insincere-sounding way others speak during their reviews. Also, thanks for showing us this set in 3 whole videos. I love your analysis of why the main build takes less time. And speaking of time, we appreciate the extra time you took here. I personally always open all the bags (when i'm building alone, i mean) and sort by color, shape and size before beginning. That means I'd have no trouble, once I'd finished sorting, making any of these options my first build of this set. Love how you referred to the sorting/prep process as a bit of "friction." You are an eloquent, very smooth user of high-level but clear, unpretentious English sir. Way to go.

[@zephyrt503]

This ship is even better than Barracuda to me. More compact, easier to display and with a pretty good amount of details as well. Personally not a fan of the brick-built sails (but completely justified as a creator set) i would probably switch them for fabric

[@brownboi1165]

I don't have either, but I agree with you there

[@oliknow]

I liked it. The first Mainstream Lego Pirates for years, it makes a quite good Display piece despite being "just" a creator thing.

[@paulhawkins1514]

Amazon UK had it for £60 a few weeks ago. Kinda regret not getting it. But I'm sure it'll be that price again soon, esp with Prime Day and Black Friday coming up

[@cas3157]

I really enjoy your professionnal review for every set. Thanks

[@labdG]

Watching the comparison with Black Seas Baracuda made me realize that I much prefer this one. The Baracuda honestly looks too plain and I guess unneccessarily big to me. I've never really thought a lego pirate ship was too big before but now I guess I do. This one feels so much more charming and alive to me. It's very subjective of course.

[@Arturhorn]

well, I have both and honestly love both. But oh boy, baracuda one is just majestic. I had crazy smile just watching it, right now it's in island form with the creator ship sailing near on display, for my coworkers to enjoy during home office calls :)

[@damianslabbert5756]

Is it just me but I can't watch old Jangbricks videos. I'm like Awww we don't see Jang... Keep up the great work!!

[@TVSilex]

It's strange that the anchors are made with molded pieces though in Ninjago ship they are built without specialized ones.

[@johnnations5932]

I agree; would have preferred a brick-built anchor here. And a roof for the cannon room/lower deck. But otherwise, amazingly good set here:)

[@bleppyboo5969]

@@johnnations5932 yeah but to be fair, creator sets usually don't use specialized pieces, usually opting for everything to be brick built.

[@casperhansen826]

I like it. A nice ship that you can easily extend if you want

[@MayoHosko]

I love how rebuildable this ship is which means that this ship is built true to the brand and that’s my favourite part about this ship. I wish the ship like all other pirate ships had a deeper below level deck and full coverage of that area. I like this set a lot

[@anderschannel9424]

[@parsahatami500]

Biggest 3 in 1 set? Overall looks special to me!

[@ThatRedPlumber]

I still don't understand why there's a hole in the ship. They could have made the deck removable or even just have made it a normal pirate ship

[@Benjamin0119]

It's just an open deck design, like all the classic ships were done. I don't even know if minifigs fit could standing up if you put another deck over it.

[@caresz6918]

@@Benjamin0119 unfortunately the space is not tall enough to fit a minifig, should you cover up the hold. However for smaller ships it was not uncommon to have been designed with an open hold without a cover.

[@yahlifenigstein580]

Wow, it looks awesome!

[@luischavez7126]

Great Review Jang! Just saw this Set at my local Walmart. Had to see the reviews on it before purchasing lol I've always wanted a lego pirate ship. This looks like a great cheaper alternative than going on Ebay for other Retired lego sets. The 3 in 1 build value makes the building all more worth it but also challenging. I had a fun & rather irritating time rebuilding the Star Wars Republic Gun Ship the other day lol alot of pieces in one big Ziploc bag lol

[@sirrabbitthered8496]

I generally like the sets in the creator line because of the classic style look and the way they build, and this is no exception. I like this set alot.

[@paulwright22]

If you own the Barracuda Bay set, buy x2 Creator sets and use the alternate builds (Tavern and Skull Island) to MOC your leftover island port. Or use the Creator ship and break it up as the ship wreck. Lego pretty much released a full pirate theme via 2 sets. Amazing.

[@usernamemayvary]

It appears as though this set is sort of a sequel to 70413! The captain has the same face, and the 'deckhand' looks like a grown-up version of the kid!

[@Excremental_Discharge]

I really would love it if Lego gave use a double dose of large scale Space 3-in-1 creator sets. Definitely would love a space base to the same scale as Barracuda Bay

I much prefer the plate sails to the 'cloth' ones, best 3-in-1 set for ages imho

[@Benjamin0119]

Great review, Jang. I really do like the look of this ship and the fact that there is a brick built hull is awesome. Never thought we would see that from an official set. I watched a stop motion build of this set and it is really neat how it comes together. Thanks so much for the comarison. It is definitely not as large and spectacular as the new Black Seas Barracuda.. That is the one I want over this. More money though! If only I could come up with it from somewhere!
