5.0 out of 5 stars This IS the Imaginext Pirate Raider, April 7, 2003

The title here does not say it and the search does not find it, but this IS the Imaginext Pirate Raider.

While some pieces, like the hull, are far more limiting than other Imaginext, it IS an amazing toy, and easy to add little walls on top for cabin space with your regular Imaginext.

A huge ship. The hull pieces use a different typ of clip than regular imaginext so it can easily be sailed around the floor without coming apart. Theres a great 3 barrel cannon that can go below decks to fire out the windows.

A worthy addition to any Imaginext collection, particularly the castle line.

3.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Disappointed, September 18, 2003

I can't express how disappointed I am in this toy. While not difficult to put together, it is time consuming and takes a lot of attention to detail. My four-year old had moved on to something else while we did so. There are too many small parts that don't really stay on--the lanterns on the corners of the ship fall off, the side railings don't hold if you barely touch them, the parrot won't stay on the captain's shoulder, and you can't get the captain himself to stand in his spot near the wheel. While the system allows you to make the ship into different formations, I put so much effort into getting it together originally that I almost don't want to encourage my son to change it.

While I had hoped to encourage imaginitive play, the only fun part of this ship is the shooting arrows and the mast that "breaks" and can be re-set standing up.

This review is from: Imaginext - Pirate Raider (Toy)

A lot of people have reviewed the Imaginext toys very poorly for their younger children. My son received the rescue station, construction set, and battle castle last year for christmas when he was 4. He liked them, but I was the one who usually built them so that he could play with them afterwards.
This was very frustrating since the whole point of getting them was to promote his imagination and dexterity from building them.
However, since he has turned 5 they are a whole new toy for him. He now spends a long time meticulously putting them together and then playing with them off and on all day till I make him take them back apart to put away. This year he has begged for the pirate ship and Buccaneer Bay for christmas!...I think it takes a little older child to appreciate the building of these toys...my 5 year old loves them!!!
