Description

Monster against pirates

This little set tells a clear story with very few bricks: a kraken is attacking a pirate crew. Sea monsters were a recurring idea in the Pirates range around 2009, and here the theme comes in a compact, hand-sized package. Two minifigures are included, so the scene can be played out straight away. Even if pirates are not your thing, it is obvious that this is meant as a small play set rather than a display piece for the shelf.

Timber colours and dark grey

The main colours are reddish brown, tan, black and dark bluish grey. That gives the familiar ship-timber look, with darker accents for cannons, sails and details. Of the 78 pieces, 25 are different types, so the selection is modest but well spread. Reddish brown and tan parts in particular are in demand for many pirate, castle and village models, and they combine easily with other sets when you are planning a larger scene.

Build it, then play

The build is over quickly, and then the real fun starts. With the two figures you can stage a fight in which speed and courage decide the outcome. The model is small enough for the living-room carpet, though it is best kept away from the bath if you want the bricks to stay dry. It also works as an add-on to bigger ships from the range, because it supplies an opponent that the larger sets rarely include themselves.

Keeping track of the parts

This page lists every part in the set, so you can check that your copy is complete. If you own several pirate sets, the “What can I build?” tool shows which additional models your combined stock allows. The 78 pieces are a nice foundation here, since brown and grey tones suit ships, islands and fortresses alike and slot easily into new projects, whether you follow instructions or simply improvise with what is on the table.
