I can not quite decide between three and four stars, the three and a half but not there, I have decided for three. Now I have to go back a little further. My son has bought at a flea market a Pirate Booty ship. This was, as you might expect is not quite complete. In order to get the parts I wanted to order a replacement at Playmobil, but had to quickly find the spare parts were more expensive as a brand new ship. This is why I have ordered the ship. Arrived I understood what was discussed in the other reviews. So the ship from the flea market was probably the predecessor model (with red hull) and here precisely the new model. The two vessels are actually almost identical when the new ship hull is down to the fact there is a float made of polystyrene. This one can now find good or bad. The floating characteristics of the vessel are thus certainly improved, but can not be so well recorded the hull. This is mainly because these are already occupied with cannon dummies the gun ports (because behind the float is) in the old ship could stand here real guns and thus really firing on all cylinders. If you want to play as always by boat in the bathtub or where the model is fine. If you want to play in the 'normal' rooms but more I would prefer the old model what my son has done by simply built the 'spare parts' to his old ship. The new comes then ever for water games used or is used for boarding. And finally, I wanted to point out that the anchor of iron on the old model, even better than I like the new plastic anchor.
