Bought this yesterday, along with 10 pounds or so of other assorted LEGO's. It looks like there are more minfigs and other pirate/castle type parts and figures than belong to this ship alone. I'm not familiar with this line at all, so I'm thinking there may be a smaller pirate related ship.

 

Anyways, the big ship was immaculate, but very dusty. It **looks like** all the pieces are there and it really hasn't even been played with or touched for 20 years. They were asking $50, I bought for $45.

 

I think I just drooled into my morning coffee.  One day I'm going to make a sweet score like this...

I have that ship, not put together due to space constraints but I have it and I have to say it is sweet! Quite a catch as the sails look clean and well taken care of.

 

And yes, there was a smaller pirate ship around the time that this was released, 6268.

 

6271 was the rival ship - Imperial - around that time.

 

Sweet times

Great pick up, especially at that price. Used ones with no instructions or box can go for $160+

Thanks on the 6268. I think that's what I have to go with it.

This set was my childhood pride and joy. Saved money for months and months to get it. can't wait to get back home to retrieve it and all my childhood LEGO.

Very nice find my friend. One of the best pirate ships LEGO made.

Whoa....I paid 500 bucks for this several years ago just because I really wanted it. Although mine had the original box in really good condition, and the pieces were still pretty smooth. But yeah this is pretty much crown jewel of the pirate ships in my humble opinion.

 

By the way....probably more like 21 years...haha.

Excellent find, I'm hoping to be able to find this one at a decent price someday.  Are you going to keep or sell?

Great ship, and a really great price! Congrats!

I'm selling, just need to clean it up and account for everything.
